"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

It has been a week since I had that conversation with 'pancake'. Until now I still could not believe that that conversation ever happened and it was so strange. He has been acting strange since then. I opened late that day and I didn't lie when I said that I was caught up with something that caused me to wake up late and open the shop late.

I was reading that night and I didn't stop until I finished that book. Before I knew it, it was already four in the morning. I tried to sleep for at least one hour only, I ended up waking around seven in the morning.

I thought that since I woke up late and opened the shop late, I would not see him. Which I really needed because upon realizing that there is this kind of indescribable affection that is building up inside of me towards him, I am not sure if I could face him calmly.
