"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 already been two weeks. If I wasn't been so stuck up with my sister's mess, I might have probably gotten closer to Alice during those two weeks.

But no. Since I cannot leave my sister in her current state, I haven't seen Alice for two weeks now. And my head is so messed up. First, because I am worried sick about my sister and secondly I am worried about Alice.

I had that dream again last night. That same dream of me saving Alice from a burning building. But this time, I failed to save her. I haven't had that dream for months since I frequented Alice's coffee shop.

And now I am dreading her safety.

I could've called Jeric to check out on her but I don't want to. Jeric didn't know about Alice's existence in my life. He is wise enough not to dip his hand into my personal life, unless it was necessary and I told him to, just like when it comes to my sister.
