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.

Her Brother Arrives

And that is what Arthur realized. That is the cause of her change. All of Belle's reasons for breathing were gone in just a span of three weeks. And the moment that they were gone, the Bella he knew was gone as well to be replaced by an angry, bitter, and cold Belle.

"Stay away from me, Arthur." He heard Belle's cold voice. It was too cold and he felt his heart shiver. "Please, leave before-"

"Before what? Before your brother arrives?" Arthur was the one who cut her this time, making Belle's eyes widen.

"He told you…" Belle asked though it sounds more like a statement. 

"No, he didn't. He was adamant not to tell me about your relationship with him." Arthur said as he took steps towards her. But Belle didn't notice that he was already closing the distance. 

"I was desperate so I have to find it on my own," Arthur added, making Belle snap. 

She immediately noticed the distance he crossed so she took a few steps backward, frowning at him.
