"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

"I was fifteen when Jack Ogden first approached me. I was strolling around the city and stopped to rest in a café. He approached me and introduced himself as my father's old friend. At first, I was doubtful because as far as I know, father only has one friend which is Benjamin Parker. I've never heard my father mention Jack Ogden before. Until he told me about their childhood stories. When we separated that day, he told me that he'll see me again."

"But internally, I hoped not. Because although I started to believe his story, I am still distrustful of him. Because he was a friend yet father and Uncle Benjamin never mentioned his name. So, I was sure that he 'was' and not a friend of father."

"It was weeks later that I found out that Jack Ogden also met my father and he wanted a marriage between me and his son! Can you believe that? I was only 15! And I don't even know his son as well! And I still don't trust that man!"
