"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 two weeks now since that night and I haven't seen 'pancake' since then.

That night was the most wonderful night I ever had. With him in front of me, sharing the tranquility of the night just sipping on his tea. While I was just reading my book.

I feel so comfortable around him considering that I don't even know his name. I am not sure if he knows my name either. We are practically strangers to each other but I feel so familiar with him.

And yes, we didn't talk that night except for the short exchange of words which doesn't give much information about each other. So, technically we still haven't got to the stage of getting to know each other even if it is just as friends.

He left that night hurriedly after that call. He didn't even say goodbye or good night. Well, what do I expect?

I wonder what was that call about? Or who called?
