"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

Elijah had already realized that he probably did go overboard a little bit in pissing her off. Maybe not just a little bit. But hell would freeze first before he would come and apologize to her. His ego was too big for him to do that.

So, he would just wait for her to cool down until everything goes back to how it used to as if nothing happened.

But when he entered the restaurant, he saw Sadie sitting at a table, talking and laughing with a man as if she was having the time of her life. That was the least he expected. He knew that the man was probably a customer who wanted to meet the owner and the chef of the restaurant because Sadie is still in her uniform and it was not uncommon.

But seeing her talking and laughing with that man, he felt a single prick inside his chest. And it was followed by many more.
