The Society's Heiress

COMPLETED "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.

A Woman in His Bed

Nora looked down at her hands that were on her lap. With pursed lips, she said, "What if he was just using me? What if he has ulterior motives? What if he just wants the Society?" She spoke continuously without pausing to take a break. 

"And your heart believes that he is not using you, that he doesn't have ulterior motives, that he is not after the Society?" J filled in the blanks and saw her daughter nod her head.

"Your heart believes him because you love him and you don't care if he hurts you again. But you doubt him because of your responsibility and obligations to the Society," J pointed out what she knew from the very beginning. 

Nora lifts her head up and stares at her mother with disbelief on her face. Because that is exactly what she is thinking. She realized that what really confuses her is if she would follow her heart or her mind.
