Chapter 121 - They Messed with the Wrong Husband

"You're awake," Jacob said after he finished his call. He walked towards J who was still staring at him.

"Good morning." Jacob kissed her temple and inhaled her after shower scent making him want to take her back to bed.

"Good morning," J replied when she realized that Jacob is already in front of her. All this time she was just staring at his eyes she felt that the time stops only for her. She didn't even notice him walked towards her.

"You must be hungry, I prepared pasta. It's almost lunchtime so I'm not sure what to prepare so I made pasta. I know you loved it so you wouldn't mind. Would you?" Jacob said with a smile.

"No, I don't mind. Thank you." J replied.

"By the way, I asked James to file a two day leave for you at the hospital. Don't worry, he used your specimen signature for the letter." Jacob winked at her before she could react. Because if James filed her leave letter then it would be suspicious.

"After what happened, we'll be staying here at my villa. It's much safer for you. And you'll need to rest for at least two days. Should you have any plans of going somewhere please inform me so I could come with you." after saying that J looked at him. She felt that Jacob became extra protective of her after what happened.

Thinking about that, she remembered the guy who abducts her seemed to know her identity. And according to Jacob, those people were working for someone.

"What happened to those that kidnapped me?" J asked.

Jacob stopped eating then looked at J before saying, "They're in police custody."

"Did you find out what do they want from me?" Actually, J wanted to know if her kidnappers told anything about her identity to Jacob.

"Apparently, their Boss, CEO Wang must have taken an interest in you. Definitely, he didn't know who he was messing around with." for a moment J noticed Jacob's veins pulsing in his temple. "No one will dare touch you again. Not without my permission. They wouldn't dare harm you again, I promise you that." then Jacob pressed his lips firmly together.

J felt that there was something that Jacob is not telling her. Did he already know? She thought to herself. But if he did, why isn't he confronting her?

After they finished their brunch Jacob made sure that J doesn't have any plans for the day before he went back to the hospital.

When he went inside his SUV he looked around the house then sent a text message to Arthur. "I'll be leaving but will be back at night. She'll be left alone. Be sure that no one will come near her. Inform me immediately if she leaves the house."

After he sent the message, he started the engine of the car and drive out of the Evergreen Villa's gated perimeter.

When Jacob left the villa, J walked around the house. She noticed that no one is in there except for her. Didn't he get a housekeeper? She thought to herself. Then she walked back to the bedroom and looked for her phone. She saw it in the bedside table. She hadn't checked her phone since yesterday so she was wondering if she missed any call or messages. But upon looking at it, there were no notifications. What would she expect? For an introvert like her who don't have a friend or a close acquaintance except for Diana who seemed to be busy preparing with her coming wedding and Lance whom she left with all the stuff that she is supposed to be working on.
