"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

Nora was quick to wipe the tear that escaped her eyes. She scolded herself internally for crying because of Damien in front of her mother. As if her situation is not embarrassing enough.

J stared at her daughter for a while before she reached for her hand with one hand while the other cupped her face. Her thumb stroked her cheeks where a tear ran down earlier. "How would you know if you could trust him?" She asked.

"Uhm...I don't know," Nora answered because she really doesn't have an idea. Is there really a way to know if they could trust him? If she could trust him? Should she test him?

But wasn't Damien turning his back against Bowie Faulkner and doing everything he can to make sure that she is safe already considered as him passing that test?

But why does she still feel afraid of trusting him?

J smiled and said, "By trusting him,"

Nora frowned. "Mom, where did you get that?"
