"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

Later that night, in the lobby of the Twelve Army main building, Jacob saw Leo waiting for him. He and James were preparing to go to Rendezvous and he was surprised to see Leo waiting for them. He was anticipating someone from the Robin Hood Society but he was not expecting that his father-in-law would send Leo instead.

"Dad sent you?" Jacob asked, confused. Though he doesn't sound like he is doubting Leo's capability. Leo is probably one of the most skilled men in the Society but he plays a vital role in its leaders' security.

Leo nodded his head and said impassively, "Yes Chairman Jacob."

"How about mom?" he asked. He knew very well that Leo is his mother-in-law's right-hand man and that he should be around her 24 hours a day except for the two days off that Madam Victoria gave him to spend with Diana and Timothy.

"Simon took over my position for a while," Leo replied. His face remained void of emotion.

Jacob nodded his head. "Okay. Let's go."
