"Being married to you means the world to me. Don't worry about my family, they knew, and they were much eager to protect you. I don't care if my life would be in danger as long as you are safe. My life is not normal without you in it. Ah… what was the last one?" Jacob stopped and rubbed his chin trying to remember J's last word before he interfered.

"Ah! Right!" Jacob's eyes gleamed when he seemed to remember. "I was so glad that your grandfather dragged me into this messy and complicated life of yours. Because if he didn't, I would be forcing myself into your life, even if you don't want to."

"Was I able to answer all your questions, Mrs. Jacob Parker?" Jacob asked, emphasizing how he addresses J as Mrs. Jacob Parker indicating that whoever she is, she would still be his wife.

At the age of 10, J's parents died in an ambush leaving her in the care of her grandfather who years later sent her away along with her best friend to hide her and her identity from those who would try to kill her after her parents.

20 years later, a lot of things had already happened. Her grandfather died. She is back in the country for good though still hiding her identity. Everything was peaceful until a man came claiming her as his wife.

Since then, her peaceful life flipped upside down. People who want her dead found her but his so-called husband never left her. He was even willing to kill and be killed just to protect her.

The Society's Heiress

When J arrived at the Evergreen Villa, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, the house was empty. Lily is already filming her movie in Mt. Celandine, so she would be gone for a couple of weeks. Jacob is probably already in Elm Palace Hotel where the CLP Hospitals Foundation Gala is to be held. She felt somewhat down. She thought that she might see Jacob when she arrives and if he persuades her one last time, she might go with him.

She walks into the bedroom disappointed. But when she entered the room, she noticed a beautiful box lying on the bed. She walked towards it and found a note on top of it. It said 'In case you change your mind.' The note was from Jacob.

She opened the box and saw an off-shoulder royal blue mermaid dress. It was so beautiful that J can't help feeling its texture. She held the gown and a feeling of excitement arose from her. The reason why she didn't practice racing that afternoon was because she had decided to go to the foundation gala.
