"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

Meanwhile, Lance is sitting on the Viewing Bench waiting for Lily. Earlier he asked Sarah to tell Lily that he will be waiting for her at the Viewing Bench at around 8 pm. He chooses to confess there not only because the Viewing Bench has a romantic ambiance at night but also because it has been a special part of them.

It is already fifteen minutes past eight and he is getting anxious. He has always been optimistic but this time, he already starts to doubt if Lily will come. He was overwhelmed with excitement that he forgot that these past weeks, Lily has been avoiding him, so the chance of her showing up is getting slimmer as time goes by.

Back at the hotel, Lily is pacing back and forth inside her hotel room contemplating whether she should go or not.

"I think you should go," Sarah said while watching Lily pace back and forth as she sits in Lily's bed. She is starting to get dizzy by just looking at her.
