"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.

Belle pursed her lip, but unknowingly, that simple action revealed the real Belle that Arthur has been longing to see. She looked charming with that small frown on her face as she pouted her lips on him.

"I know. You don't have to scold me. Alex already has his own fair share of scolding earlier,"

"But mine's different," Arthur said with amusement. Finally seeing that the tension between them is slightly dissipating, he dared to come closer to her by sitting on the bed. The side of his thigh slightly touched Belle's but Arthur was careful enough not to inflict pain on that part as it was still wrapped in a bandage.

Belle was startled by Arthur's bold movement but she was not given time to protest because she heard him speak again. "You should've waited for the right moment to attack,"

"And what? Wait for you to stop me? Or your heiress to seize me and surrender me to the Bloodroot Clan?" Belle retorted back.
