"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

So J went up to the 10th floor using Jacob's private lift with him followed by Arthur's Team. She was supposed to use the common lift because it will lead her directly to the 8th floor, unlike the private lift where she has to go to the 10th floor before going back to the 8th floor but Jacob insisted that she use only the private lift.

What surprised her more is that, when she was about to go to the Department of Surgery on the 8th floor, she was followed by Felix and Daniel.

She glared at them without saying a word. Daniel looks the other way as if he didn't see J's glare. While Felix just shrugs his shoulders. She didn't have to say a word, they knew that she was questioning their actions.

Taken for Granted
