"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

After an hour, Jacob and J were now sitting at a table inside the cafeteria with Arthur's team. Jacob is enjoying his steak with skillet tomatoes and spicy sautéed green beans when J raises her head and asks, "Were you trying to overthrow the Novus Rex?"

Jacob looked at his wife. He was not surprised at all by her question. He knew that one of these days she would ask this question but he does not expect it to be this soon. "Honey, are you making assumptions?"

J raised her brow and replied, "No," nonchalantly. Then she pierced a piece of potato from her pesto pasta with a fork. J is not the type of person to make assumptions. She has already analyzed the events that took place this couple of days and she was sure that whatever that is happening in Novus Rex, Jacob is the one to blame.

Jacob chuckled. "Okay, you got me." Arthur's team remained quiet as if they were not present at all which is very uncomfortable on Felix's part.
