"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

But Sadie doesn't feel the same. She still looked hesitant. But she doesn't want to outright refuse him. She looked at Dylan as if asking for his opinion but the latter only smiled at him reassuringly. "Mm…maybe we could discuss the terms," Sadie said instead.

Harv grinned widely. "Sure!" Then he looked back at his pancakes. "Damn! Homemade pancakes! I haven't had this in a while,"

"Pancakes?" Sadie asked as if she heard it wrong.

"Homemade pancakes," Harv corrected her without looking at her while he continued to eat as if he hadn't eaten for days.

Sadie just stared at Harv as if he spoke an alien language. Homemade pancakes were almost eaten regularly at her home. Sometimes, she has it as a snack or whenever she feels like it. In fact, her mother always has ready-to-cook batter in their fridge. She thought that it was normal but it looks like not every house was like that. Not everyone was as privileged as her to have regular homemade pancakes.
