"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

Two weeks after her identity was revealed, Nora was starting to get the hang of it. She is starting to get used to the security details following her around. With two of them being her friends, it was easier, and felt less uncomfortable.

At the hospital, she would still receive uncomfortable glances and as expected, she had heard rumors that she was using her identity to her advantage. She had talked to her parents about it and they just said that it was the people's right to make their opinion as long as it doesn't affect her.

Nora asked, what if it does affect her? Her parents' response was just to be indifferent about it. As long as her conscience is clear that she is not using her identity to her advantage, then she should not be worried about what other people think as it would be toxic and unhealthy for her.
