I stole a glance at jack as he focus on driving to the direction i told him.
I have expected him to ask questions but he didn't which has surprise me.
If he is very scared about loosing his sister and the baby he didn't show it.I cough slightly to gain his attention.
" Are you not eager to hear how i met her ? " I asked him as i stare ahead." That would be later " He replied calmly and he remain silent.
It was not a long drive and we finally arrived at the hospital.
He quickly unbuckle his seat belt and was about to step out , I wanted to follow when he turn towards me.
" No, you don't need to come " he said urgently that i stop getting up and gaze at him blankly.
" Excuse me? " I said not sure if i heard him right.
" Stay in the car " He order without Expression.
" And why would i? You can't order me around just because you are a professional swimmer and a business tycoon... "
" Don't make this anymore harder than it has to be " he half yell.
I shudder as he turn to me with steady eyes.
" Are you not the super model of claw foot club? " He asked.
I cocked an eyebrow and stare at him.
Why is he asking me an obvious question?" Yes, i am. If you haven't been so impatient i would have introduce myself. I'm Jillian Don " i told him angrily.
" Save the sarcasm I'm not in the mood to get into an argument with Claw foot club employee " He throw back and i scoff at his word.
Claw foot club employee???
Oh that hurt my ego, i stare at him angrily and he roll his eyes." It will do no good for you and your career if the words go out that you're seen with Jack Mayor. Your sponsor won't appreciate it if he learn you're with his enemy. Obviously he might think you are conspiring with me to take him down " He said stiffly and Walk out of the car towards the hospital , leaving me surprised and shock.
He sure is so arrogant and annoying. I said aloud to myself.
No wonder Maureen decided not to go to him that night.

Jack's PovI walk into the hospital and marched towards the receptionist but before i could reached there i heard my name and i turn to see two men.
Good, the elderly one must be the father of that beautiful model. I said to myself.
I walk towards them and i shook hands with both of them.
" How's she? Where's the doctor? " I asked impatiently.
" The doctor is still with her. It is only a matter of time before he emerges. I am han. Where's jilly ? " Han asked eagerly.
" She's outside , it will do no good if she is seen with me "
" You're right " Don replied
Just then the doctor emerges and walk towards us.
" She's doing good. She survive. " He said smiling proudly.
I sighed in relieve and asked urgently." How's the baby ? "
The doctor smile brightly and i already get the answer." The baby is doing well too " he replied smiling.
I laugh in happiness but stop immediately as i heard someone gasp.
" Isn't that Jack Mayor , The swimmer? " the lady said to her friend who stood beside her watching me with seductive eyes.
I smile uneasily at them, in my moment of haste i have forgotten that i have many fans around here.
" I think we should go to my office to have a conversation, it will be easier that way " the doctor says and we all follow him to his office.
He didn't offer us a seat and I'm very sure none of us is eager to sit either.
He look at me and smile.
" It's an honor to meet you Jack Mayor. I'm joan, Honestly I'm your fan "I smile brightly to him but didn't say anything because i have this hunch he have more to say.
" She will be discharge tomorrow. All she needs is just enough rest "
I smile happily to hear that. The thought of my sister being alive and her baby alive as well is very overwhelming.
I smile brightly to him.
" Let her stay here till tomorrow then. Can i see her ? " I asked eagerly.
" Of course, you can " doctor joan said and i nodded.
He led us to the room Maureen was laying down on the bed. She seems so much at peace as she lay on the bed sleeping.
I walk towards her and stare down at her white face.
I held out a hand and touch her cheek slowly before withdrawing it.
I turn to Don , joan and han.
" Thanks a lot for saving her. I honestly don't know how to repay you for this " i told them sincerely.
" You can repay me by paying the hospital bills " Joan said to me jokingly and i smile.
" Of course i will,i have to go now. I will be back as soon as possible " i told them , i thank them again before leaving the hospital and Walk towards my car.
I sat down behind the wheel and smile at jill.
" She's alive and well " i told her.
" Really? " I heard her asked surprised.
" And the baby ? "" The baby is alive as well. "
I heard her sigh and i turn to her fully.
" Thank you a lot for helping her out , is there anyway i can repay you for this? " I asked her with innocent face.
She look at me uneasily and my heart leap with joy.
I don't really like bragging but I can't help it.
My charm is surely working on this lady as well.I laughs at her nervousness.
" Have anyone told you your eyes are unnecessarily too big Jill ? " I said to her huskily and i watched her look away quickly." What are you talking about? " Jill answered pretending to be busy with her hair.
" Nevermind, i think i will have to go back to your house because my sister credit card is there and her cellphone "
" Oh yes, you have to. I will accompany you"
I look at her and smile.
It is very unusual for me to flirt or smile at anyone but the situation right now won't let me stay calm." Don't you have any schedule today? " I asked raising an eyebrow in question.
" I have but I'm cancelling them "
" Because of me ? " I asked her smiling.
She turn to me and Scoff.
" No, Because of your sister. Now if you will be so kind , we need to start going "I started the car in response and drove off to Don's house.
The drive was silent and i appreciate it.I alighted from the car as we reach our Destination.She lead the way and i followed.
I stepped into the living room and look around as I waited for her to bring out Maureen's credit card and cellphone.
She emerges from a room moment later with confusion written all over her face.
" This are the drugs she bought this morning " i heard her say and i walk up to her.
I received the drugs from her shaky hands and peer into them.
It isn't an abortion pills and none were taken yet.
I creases my face in confusion and shock.
" What does this mean ? " Jill asked me.
I turn to her with clenched jaw.
" It means someone tried to kill the baby and the person isn't my sister "
Jillian's PovI watch with teary eyes as Jack flopped heavily on the couch and buried his face in his hand.I sat down beside him but didn't say anything.I know it must be so hard for him when he realized he has unjustly judge his sister." But who could it be Jack ? " I asked him wearily.He turn to me with steady eyes and the happiness and humor from his face some minutes ago before we arrive has left his face." I will leave now, You should stay away from my sister and I. It is dangerous as you can see " he said and stood up.I stood up as well immediately." There's no way i can do that, i won't run away cowardly just because... " I started to say stubbornly but he cut me off ." Are you not even listening? " He asked angrily and i gulped." When did she arrive here ? " He asked me coolly." Yesterday night " i answered and i saw him laugh bitterly as though something occurs to him." I'm sure you do not know anything about the conflict between the Mikes and Mayors so just stay o
Han alighted from the car without saying any word as we arrive at the hospital. I followed him immediately not minding the risk of my sponsor knowing. I could hear people gasping as they saw me. " Isn't that jilly ? " I heard a young lady say. " She sure look very beautiful " another commented but i ignore them all and follow han towards Maureen's room. He flipped open the door urgently and he saw a doctor, or should i someone who poses as a doctor in the process of injecting Maureen. " Stop " He yell at the man who wore a lab coat and has his nose covered up. The man stop immediately and turn toward us. His eyes got wide open as he saw han. He revealed his face and i gasp in shock. " He is the one i saw " i said to han shakily as i stood behind him. The man walk toward han in surprise. " What are you doing here buddy ? " He asked. Han look at him squarely in response. " I should be the one asking when you become a doctor " he said smirking. " Huh.. oh you mean this ?
Han pull into Jack's house and i let out a gasp as i look up at the building.I alighted from my car and so did han.I watched as Jack carried his sister inside and Laura following him." He didn't invite us inside " i heard han says and i smile wanly." We have to go in nevertheless " i said and walk towards the house as han followed behind.He catch up with me and i smile.I think he is getting more comfortable with me.We walk inside and into the large living room which scream of wealth and tidiness.I suddenly feel clumsy as i took in the neatness of the room.Jack and Laura are not in sight and as i am very tired to stand i sat down tiredly on the couch and han did the same.I bet he is very tired as well and hungry.Wait a second !!! We haven't eaten anything today.I scoff slightly and turn to han who look lost as he stare blankly ahead.Before i could have the opportunity to say anything i saw jack descending the stairs slowly.Han and I quickly stood up to meet him." She's s
I watch Jack as he focus on eating his food.I smile inwardly.Is he trying to feign ignorance?.I turn towards han and i saw him eating as well.Good, looks like everyone is hungry.I focus on mine as well and finally jack stood up and walk away He didn't say any words after announcing to me that the dinner is ready." How is Maureen doing ? " I asked han and he look up at me and smile.That caught me off guard. " She's doing fine. " He said.Good, now that he is in good mood i should ask him what has been bothering me." So i think you should be able to keep your end of the bargain and tell me about Mr Mike " i told him and he dropped the cutlery and swallow uneasily." Can i tell you on our way back tomorrow? " He asked me almost pleading."No problem "i nodded quickly and i saw him stood up and leave.Great! I am alone in this great dinning room.I ate my food and i smile to myself as i realized Jack is not only a good swimmer but also a good cook.After satisfying myself i cle
Jillian's PovI noticed Jack's muscle tensed as he stepped away from me.I frown my face in confusion and i reach out to him." Why are you stepping away from me ? " I asked him in shock and he heave a sigh in relieve." I can't take that away from you " He said to me, he went to the bed and sat down." Come here " He said to me and i obey him.I went towards him and sat on the bed beside him.He turn to me and i noticed he is very serious." How do you feel ? " He asked and i move my lips to speak, i discovered he is watching all my move." I feel good ... But " i stopped and i noticed he is eager to hear me " i uh ... Felt bad when you pull away. I felt sad when you reject my help this afternoon and I love and enjoy every bit of the moment i stayed in your arms " He stare at me blankly as though in thought." Let's stop here, as much as i am trying hard not to loose control. You're a guest in my house and i had to treat you right.i won't take advantage of anything " He said.I loo

We have already skip so much schedule for only you yesterday " i said smiling.Laura, Maureen and jack see off to my car.I gave both Laura and Maureen a hug and smile at jack who responded with his own.Han nodded at them and enter the car.I sat beside him and he stop in the middle of buckling up his seat belt and look at me." It's okay, i think we need to talk " i told him and he settled down and drove off." I am very tired, i couldn't even sleep " i said tiredly and i sit back." Me too, Everything is happening so fast " I look at him and scoff." You make it sound as if you're Maureen's lover, to be honest i still wonder why and how you convince me into sleeping over there "He didn't reply for some moment." I don't trust the nanny " he finally said softly and i stare at him in surprise." Why would you say that? Jack said she has been working
Jillian's Pov I watched in great shock as Larry, Diana and Lorie ran out when they hear me screaming. They ran to me in confusion to know what's going on. " What? " I heard harry says in surprise when he saw the blood. Both Diana and Lorie gasp. " What's going on? Where's han ? " Lorie asked, her face as white as sheet. I stand still with teary eyes staring into space with many thoughts running in my head. What if they kill him? I asked myself. Who took him? And why? My manager look at me and he began to say " Jilly let's go inside, i will call the... " But my movement make him stop. I went inside for another car key. I ran out towards my other car and get in. The three quickly ran towards me. " Where are you going ? " Diana asked and i turn to them. " You can't drive in this state Jilly " Lorie chipped in.But i wasn't listening. " Where exactly are you going Jilly " Larry asked with concerned look" To Jack Mayor " i said before speeding away. My eyes become blurry a
