"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

My sister raised a brow at me when I entered the house with Alice asleep in my arms. She is having a late breakfast as usual. I wondered if she had nightmares again that she didn't sleep again or if she woke up late.

I ignored her and walked towards my bedroom. But I could feel her following me.

As soon as I laid Alice down on my bed, I pulled the blanket and covered her. She must be too exhausted because since she fell asleep after that kiss until now, she has never awoken again.

I thought about that kiss as I watched her sleeping peacefully in my bed. Where she belongs.

That was the first real kiss I ever had and it felt magical. No one would ever hear me say that kind of word. Alice pulled out something in me that makes me...human.

In fact, Alice is pulling me from the darkness that swallowed me ever since the first kill that was forced upon me by my grandfather.
