JACOB gazed at her for a minute, then smiled gradually.
"Yes, you partly. You see, I used to think that it was a curse between Alexandro and me. Women want to own both of us. It's like what you own, I own…."
"I... I didn't know that you were friends. I'm sorry. Besides, that was a long time ago with Alex. I was just sixteen when I met him…."
She could not meet his gaze for long.
"Too early for romance, huh?"
"Shut up," she snapped.
"Do you realize that he is still in love with you up to now? That he wants to own you?"
"You have too much wild imagination. And what do you expect me to do, Jacob?"
"I'm not suggesting anything except don't ever forget that you are my wife now," his unflinching eyes locked with hers. Trying to delve into the emotion he can read from her face.
