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.

Steph was taken aback. This is the first time that J speaks since she came and she sounds intimidating.

Lance cleared his throat and forced a smile. "Uhm…What she meant is that we thought that this is an orphanage. Because it is what's been stated by GBC Auction Ball's website."

"Yes, we are registered as an orphanage, but our main purpose is to provide support and basic needs to the children of Mt. Celandine since most of the children here have a family of their own. Though we are keeping a couple of kids here not because they are abandoned but because their parents are away working. We also have a couple of kids here that are orphans and are permanently residing here." Sitting in one of the armchairs, Steph said with her arms crossed to each other.

J finally understands. But this organization doesn't look like it needed a lot of funding. She thought internally. Which is the same as Lance's thoughts?
