"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

J never celebrated her birthday overseas even if Lance insisted. He would invite her to a club, a bar, dinner at a restaurant, or even at home but she is adamant about not doing anything. She would rather sleep or spend the day at a speedway. Even so, Lance would still give her a present that J cannot refuse.

"When Dr. Jacob said that you were coming and that we should prepare something for you, I seized the opportunity to make up for the years that you were alone on your birthday. I called them here to celebrate with you."

J gulped the knot that formed in her throat. She felt guilty. She pulled herself away from Mrs. Potters. "No, I guess I was just surprised and overwhelmed. I'm sorry."

She turned and looked at everyone. "Thank you for this." She said then she gave them a faint smile.
