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 ? " He asked han as he held up the injection.
" I am taking care of a job given to me by someone. One of those things we did back then you Know " he replied easily and i yelp in frightness.
What of those things they did in the past ??
Oh my God , does that mean han too has been someone more than a stalker ?
" I have to do this quickly and leave before i am discovered. " He said urgently and return to Maureen side.
Han dash towards him and snatched away the injection from him , the other man was so amazed at what han did.
" Don't do anything stupid like you did in the past, Mr Mike won't forgive you this time " he said and was about to retrieve the injection from han when the door open and Jack comes in.
The look on his face shows me he clearly understood what was going on.
In a twinkle of an eye i saw him dash towards the strange guy with broken nose and gave him a punch.
I gasped in shock and surprised.
The strange guy quickly took to his heel as he successfully get himself freed from Jack's grip.I look towards han and i stepped back.
This can't be happening, no wonder he is not much of a talkative.
I'm sure he knows much more than he is letting on." What is going on here ? Where's Laura? " I heard Jack asked loudly.
I turn to him.
" Who's Laura ? " I asked him confused and he stare at me in the same manner.
" You didn't see anyone here when you enter ? " He asked breathlessly.
" No, we only saw that man wanting to inject your sister again. " I said shooking my head.
He sighed trying hard to be calm.
" I thought i made it clear to doctor Joan to never let anyone in "
The door open again and an elderly woman entered.
I think she is Laura.She stop as she noticed Jack's angry face.
" I stepped out because the doctor told me to " she said quickly as though she knows what has taken place and was scared of Jack's fury.
I heard Jack sighed again.
My phone buzz and i stare at the screen.
Great! My manager is calling.
I declined the call and stare at jack who was thinking of what to do.
Joan entered the room and stare at everyone.
" What's going on here ? " He asked as he was confused.
" I'm taking my sister home today " jack announced.
" What? I thought we agreed to discharge her tomorrow? " Joan asked clearly clueless.
" I'm taking my sister home ... TODAY " Jack repeated calmly as he emphasized on the last word.
Joan nodded and went out.
" I think we should go han, there's nothing we can do here " I told han quietly.
He turned to me and shook his head.
" I don't think that would be possible " he said to me silently as well and i look at him with surprise.
" Let's speak privately " i said and step out to a corner.
He joined me seconds later and i look at him.
" What's going on ? Why won't you go home with me ? " I asked confusedly.
" I will like to stay with Maureen " he said easily and i look up at him.
" Jack will take care of her. Do not worry. " I told him as my cellphone buzz again but i ignore it.
" I will stay with Maureen tonight , please " I heard him say and i drop my head tiredly.
Something is bothering han so much but he is not speaking up.
" Do you think Jack will let you in his home ? " I asked him
" He has no choice, we just save his sister for the second time today "
" I don't think that is enough reason han. Don't you see how he look at laura. It's obvious he trust no one now "
" He trust you "
I blink rapidly.
" I don't understand " i said
" He trust you, if you tell him you're going with Maureen I don't think he will stop you. "
" And why will i do that ? I call off all my schedule today because of Maureen. I need to rest too and i know Jack is the best person who can take care of her "
" I will tell you all about Mr Mike if you help me to convince jack mayor " he said urgently and i opened my mouth.
" Well if that is what you propose then it's a deal " I said and walk into the room but it is empty.
" Do they leave us ? " I asked in surprise as i race down to towards the exit.
I saw jack as he was about to enter his car.
" Jack wait a second " i said as i race towards him.
He stopped and look at me.
" Don't you think you're doing yourself no good by doing this publicly " he said and i turn to see people looking at us.
" I will go home with you jack, I'm worried about Maureen too " i said breathlessly.
" And why do you think i will let you into my home jill? " Jack asked me stiffly.
I straighten and stood my ground
" Because i has somethings to tell you about how we find out that another attempt will be made to kill your unborn neice or nephew "
Jack look at me and smile." I would love to hear that , you can follow "
" Okay " i replied and entered into my car.
Jack entered his as well and drove off.
I sat beside han and the latter drove off following jack.
" Why would you want to watch over Maureen today ? " I asked han because the more i think about it the more i cease to understand why han is doing this.
" Because Mr Mike has people everywhere that can easily harm Maureen " he said slowly.
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

Will they rescue him? " I heard Jill asked and I nodded." Yes, Logan call to ask for my go ahead " i told her and i smile.I saw her looking around." Where's Laura ? " She asked." She left a while ago for the grocery store " Maureen replied.Jill cellphone buzz and she look at me apologetically." I need to take this , please excuse me " She said politely before answering the call.I watch her every move and i am thrilled at her beauty.It took my every strength to control my lust towards her.She hung up and turn to me." I need to go, My sponsor want to see me " She said and i frown.To be precise i do not know what i feel for Jill but i am very sure i will never want to see her in another man's arm." Is it safe ? I don't want you to leave " i told her honestly and sh
Jack's PovI went inside to find Maureen still sitting looking thoughtful." What's going on Maureen? The baby ? " I asked her and she snap back to reality." No, i was thinking about han. " She said and I stare at her.My phone rang preventing me to respond to her.I picked up the call." Yes, you can. Be fast about it and no mistake " i said to logan and hang up." What's going on ? " Maureen ask standing immediately.I stare at her and i notice she appear to be genuinely worried." Han was rescue but he is badly hurt. I told them to bring him here " " Good " She said breathlessly and i got confused.Normally i know we have the reason to get worried for han but Maureen's attitude which changes since she heard about Han being a stalker amaze me.Laura walk in at that moment with some stuff." Doctor Sally is on her way " She said.Maureen and I turn to her in surprise." How do you know we needed a doctor ? " I asked her softly and she stood still for a moment before smiling." Your

" I asked Joan and he turn to me." Thank God you called me quickly, i think he will survive " he said and i sighed in relieve.I turn to Maureen who stood still with dry eyes staring at han." Would you like to step out Maureen? " I asked her but she sh
Jack's Pov I walked into my living room that night very tired. I had been in the office and working my self out. I look around announcing to my wife that I'm home. It's been almost a year , a month, a week and a day that my sister went into coma, the bittersweet day of my life. There is still hope though that she might wake up, Han would never give up on her nor do me or jill or her baby who has grown up to be a very brilliant boy. I have granted han a full custody of Mickey, he deserves it and we all know. Han has make it a daily routine to visit Maureen's sick bed with their boy and i do as well when i have the time. Not that I don't want to visit her but... Seeing Maureen laying down lifelessly breaks my heart. Jill descend the stairs slowly to welcome me. We have been married for seven months now, our wedding day so full of fans here and there. I thought my cellphone will blow up from the wishes from my fans and staffs. They all love The Mayors couple. That is what t
Jillian's PovI stood there watching the two mayors. I cried silently at their sad situation. Their life has been so sad. Suddenly Maureen start gasping for air. The doctor and nurses quickly asked us to go out. It took a while for jack and Han to finally exit the room then we encountered Zach Mike and Mr Mike. Jack look over at them in surprise." What is going on? Why are you here? " Jack asked" I'm sorry we didn't arrive sooner, I'm here for my grandchild " Mr Mike replied smiling at us. Jack scoffed at his words." What grandchild? " He asked smirking, just then the doctor walk up to us with some papers." I need you to sign the papers " He said extending some documents to Jack who frown deeply." I'm not going to sign any crazy papers " The doctor sighed impatiently." We don't have much time. Wait where is her fiance? The father of the baby? I think he should make this decision " The doctor suggested after realizing Jack won't sign any paperwork.Zach quickly come forward
Jillian's Pov I finally went into slumber after worrying over Jack and the problems, at dawn and still woke up when the sun rises getting ready to go to the hospital. I haven't receive any call or text from neither jack nor Han , i walk into the living room to see Larry, Lorie and Diana watching the news. " The mayors are the most trending family in the universe today " Larry announced when he saw me. I leaned against the wall watching the news and i smile. " They have always been " i said turning to walk away but then i was stopped by the newscaster word . She just called my name, oops Jillian Don?. I turned back to the TV to see the image of Jack and I kissing in front of his company. The three stare at me , offering me a questioning look and i shrugged my shoulder smiling . " It is what it is " i said walking away to get dress. Diana and Lorie joined me later to help me out. I finally was ready to go and larry offer to drive me off to the hospital which i agreed. We fi
Jack's PovNo word could explain how i feel right now. No word at all. to finally learnt the truth about my dad's death is very overwhelming.I feel so much, more than relieve to hear the truth. I have been loathing Mike for nothing then , i guess he got what he deserves then.His greed for wealth makes him inherit a dying company. I know what that feels like because i have experienced it. When Donald caused the fall of my company i was so sad, angry and frustrated. The woman before us smile brightly." I have to go now and i promise i won't show up ever again " She said turning away." No, do not go. Your son needs you here, can't you stay? " I told him in a soft tone. The more i stare at the woman the more i saw the sad expression behind that fake smile She had on. She knew about Logan, about Mikes dirty deeds. That means she has been watching us very closely." I can't stay, han will be fine... Alright " she said glancing at han who look at her pitifully." Who is he? My father?
Jillian's Pov By the time i reached Joan's hospital it was nearly dark, i alighted in hatse and ran into the hospital. I could see some patients and staffs staring at me then at Jack who seem Oblivion to everything around him. I'm very sure the news tomorrow will be about the mayors, no doubt in it. " Jack " I called in a low tone, i ran to him as if i haven't seen him a very long time ago. " What is going on? Had the doctors said anything ? " I asked and he shook his head tiredly. Suddenly we heard a running footsteps, jack and I both turned back to see Han running towards us. " What is going on? Where is she ? " He asked breathlessly as soon as he got to us. Swiftly jack dashed to him and with much force got him pinned against the wall with a glare and a tight grip that I gasp in shock. I know Jack will be like this, he has always been a guy with much actions and less talk. " If anything happens to my sister, i swear to God I won't spare you " He said coldly to han who releas
Jillian's PovI was not too surprised when i over heard my mother warning Jack to leave me alone, i was excited though to hear Jack's replied. When he left without any words , i knew he must be having a hard time to decide his next step.I went to my house and i saw Lorie and Diana cooking, they were both very excited to see me." Oh my world! " Lorie exclaimed " Jillian Don is this you?" She asked jokingly and i laughed heartily in response.Diana hugged me very tightly that I cough slightly to regain my breath." You are more beautiful " she complimented and i blushed when i remember Jack." Jack mayor paid for the surgery " I replied smiling.I filled them in about how i was kidnapped by Larry and how i was rescued. The contract i signed with mayors creation and all. By the time i finished explaining they were both Left with a surprised expression on their face." Wait a second Jilly , Larry kidnap you? No wonder he hasn't been here since that day you left for Jack's company toget
Jack's PovI was in the dinning room when i heard Jill racing from the upper floor, i got confused so i ran out only to see her driving away without any explanation. Han who was beside me the whole time quickly advise us to follow her. I abandoned my schedule to follow this young lady called Jill and so we finally arrived in her House.I stare at the woman and frown. She look so much like Jill, oh lord! Her mother?No way! Not the one who ran off years ago... Right?Jill breaks into my thoughts." Jack here is my mother. Mother he is ... " She began to introduce but the older woman who wore a shabby clothes cut her off. I don't know but probably because I owned a departmental store where clothes and other accessories stuffs were sold , merely glancing at the woman before me i could tell she is at the wealthy stage. The reason i frown when i saw her was only because she tried her best but failed to appear distress or poor.Why does she disguise herself? Another misery? Oh common, I'
Jillian's PovI walk slowly into the living room ,my eyes still on my mother. My gaze fell on her wristwatch and to study her skin then i frown in confusion.Her skin is luminous and her wristwatch is very expensive, i could tell by just glancing at it.Why does she dressed so shabbily? Is she here to deceive my dad and i ? Again? No way! I vowed to myself.I sat down on the couch across her, staring at the woman who gave birth to me and then abandoned me when I was nine." Jill i... " She began but i shook my head and cut in." Call me jilly, everyone does. I think My man is the only who has the right to call me jill. Please " i begged politely and i saw her swallowed as if keeping her temper in check." When did she arrive dad? " I asked my father who just hang his head thoughtfully.He raised his head to look at me, pity in his eyes." At dawn, that was why i didn't come back to Jack's mansion. I'm sorry " He apologize and i held the urge to roll my eyes. I can't believe this." Y
Jillian's PovWhen Jack and Han left for claw lake mansion i was so scared , so afraid that jack will come back with a frowned face and heartache but when he arrived I realized there is something going on but it isn't about me. " What is going on? Why is han upset ? " I heard Maureen asked me when Jack ran after han. I creased my face in confusion before exhaling slowly. I think i got the answer to the riddle but i feign ignorance for Maureen's benefits. Jack later emerges from han's room and descend the stairs towards Maureen and I. " What is going on Jack? What happened to Han? " Maureen asked her brother with a trembling voice. I heard her sniffed and i saw the undying love she has for the young retired soldier, han." He is just tired, let him rest for a bit ... Alright ? " Jack lied and i saw it. I expected Maureen to noticed his dishonesty but no she didn't, probably because she does not want to believe that the situation, the death of Mayor has anything to do with him." I n
