"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

When J hung up her phone, she instantly felt her husband's arms wrapped around her body from behind her. She was standing on the balcony of their bedroom when Elijah finally answered her call. She had already changed into her sleepwear but she couldn't sleep until she had made sure that her son was safe and doing alright.

Even though she knew that Elijah was heading toward Hellebore, she wanted to know if he had reached home.

Jacob only left her to get her a glass of milk hoping that it would make her fall asleep. She was grateful for his effort and concern but she knew that a glass of milk was not what she needed to ease her worry.

"You are worrying for nothing," Jacob said, which made J instantly turn her body to face him and shoot him an icy glare.
