Chapter 595 - Overthinking (1/2)

”I made it clear to him that he will not get anything in return,” Jacob said knowing what runs in her mind.

”Don't worry if later on, he asks for anything in return, I would give him anything except you or anything that concerns you.” He said the reached out for her hand and squeezed it.

”He knew I can protect you even without his help but he still voluntarily sent some of his men to protect you. He doesn't have the right to ask for anything in return.”

”Okay. I trust that you won't give me to him.” J said while looking straight in Jacob's eyes.

”Trust me. I won't. I promise you that. Even if he claims that you are friends.”

J jutted her lower lip out. ”Seriously?” She knew that Jacob still hasn't moved on to that event when she offered Alex friendship which the latter accepted.

Jacob just smiled at her. ”Even if you changed your mind and decided that he is a better option, still I won't give you to him. Never in this lifetime or in the next. You're mine, sweetheart.”

He is really that possessive of her. J thought internally. But she has nothing against it. In fact, if they were to change the situation and it is Jacob who is being threatened to be stolen by some other woman from her, she would never let him go as well. She'll fight tooth and nail for him.

”My mind doesn't change that easily.”

....

They were already in Jacob's private lift when J thought of something. ”How many assassins did she hire?” She asked out of curiosity. She just wanted to know her worth.

”Three. Two novices and a journeyman.” Jacob replied while staring at the numbers that keep on changing. Arthur's team was with them.

”Just that?” J didn't hide her displeasure. She thought that the Senator would hire some master hitman to kill her knowing that she is strictly protected by the Twelve Army and the Robin Hood Society.

Did she just underestimate the Twelve Army and the Robin Hood Society? She thought to herself.

Jacob looked at her amusedly. ”Of course, she didn't know that Alex Ogden intentionally sent her some novice assassins. It is never his intention to send her any in the first place. But he realized that if he didn't give her what she wants, she would suspect that Alex is protecting you as well and it will only make her more aggressive in causing harm towards you.”

”Why would that be?” J asked.
