Jack's Pov
I couldn't sleep throughout last night, my thoughts were all about my sister and I wonder where she might be with her present state.
I have informed my personal security guard, Logan to make a through search for my sister and I strictly warn him he will loose his job if he fail to give me a positive response soon.
My wall clock says 8:32am and i was on bed.
I couldn't help but worry about Maureen and her unborn child.
I didn't make any move of getting out of bed as I await Logan's call.

Despite not having a good night rest I was forced to wake up early for my rehearsal.
It's a Bright day and the weather is nice.
Perfect day for driving I thought to myself as I get into the car.
It is nearly noon and I haven't call my dad.
I was on my way to yet another schedule.
I brought out my cellphone and call my dad.
He answered almost immediately.
" Hello baby " He said and I laugh.
Calling me baby is sweet until I got a man of my own.
I wonder how he will react if he heard my dad Calling me that.
Well, it's a pet name and most people knows how daring my dad loves me.
" Hello Daddy, how are you? " I asked him and he replied saying everything is going well that I shouldn't worry.
I asked about Maureen.
" She said she needed some drugs and she's out to buy them. She's safe, I followed her "
I sigh in relieve , I don't want to imagine what Zach might do if he sees her again.
" That's understandable. I think she needs to take care of herself " I added.
" My schedule is full today so I won't be visiting. " I said silently hoping he won't freak out.
" That's okay Jilly. Be safe alright "
" I will and if anything comes up call me immediately " I said to him.
We exchange goodbyes and love you before I hung up.
I sign heavily from the back seat.
I look at han who's driving.
" Are you okay? " I asked him.
He nodded and continue driving.
" Do you have any family ? " I asked out of nowhere.
I scolded myself for asking that question. Well it's harmless to know more about him.
Mike is the one who appointed him to me as my chauffeur and he's never a talkative.
Expect the day he mentioned he's an ex soldier.
He look at me through the visor briefly before focusing on the road.
" I am an orphan " he replied quietly.
I gasped from the back in surprise.
" Mr mike offer me to be your chauffeur after i retired." He said
" Yeah " i replied in a low tone, feeling bad for him.
" But how come you retired so young ?" I asked curiously and he was about to reply when my cell phone buzz.
I groan and check the caller.It's my dad. Why's he calling again when i just spoke to him about half an hour ago? I asked myself.Nevertheless i picked the call and i heard his voice quivering.
I cocked up an eyebrow in confusion." What's going on dad, you sound not too well "
" You have to come Jilly, Maureen pass out " he replied urgently and i felt my hand vibrated as i heard him.
Pass out? Maureen? No no, he's mistaken.
" You mean Maureen mayor? " I asked again to be sure in a shaky voice.
" Yes, should i call Joan? " I heard him ask.
His voice sounds so urgent." Yes, please do and quickly. If anything happens to her i swear to God Jack won't let us walk freely, I'm on my way."
I hang up and message Joan in case my dad won't hurry. He was my class mate in highschool.He's been my doctor since i became famous.
I wouldn't like to visit any hospital whenever i get sick to avoid any rumours so i hired doctor Joan to take care of me or my dad whenever we are not feeling well and he has been very excited to be my doctor.
He called me almost immediately and i quickly brief him about what happened and he promised to make haste and check on Maureen.We agreed to meet up in my dad's house and i hang up.
" My dad's place han " i said to him my voice breaking.
As usual han nodded and says nothing as he took a turn and headed to my dad's speedily.

Jack's Pov" You mean what you just said " i asked Logan and he replied on the other end.
" Yes sir, i confirmed it. She paid for some drugs with her credit card. I get to the drugstore and i was told she came with a man. "
I frown my face.
Drugs ?? What did she need drugs for?I thought pregnant women don't use drugs. Or wait ! Did she wants to abort the pregnancy ? .
She went to a store with a man ?Series of questions roam about in my head.
" Did you get where she's staying ? " I asked Logan as i cleared my head.
" Yes sir. I will send you the address "
" Yes, do that. " I told him before grabbing my car key.
" Should i go with you ? " He asked.
" No, she's my sister. I will go alone " i said to him and hang up.
I walk briskly to the kitchen but didn't see Laura.
I sighed , I couldn't blame her.
Since Maureen has left the house she hasn't been herself.I walk to my car and sat behind the wheel , just then i received the message from Logan. He has sent the address.
I look ahead thinking.
Okay find, i admit it.I'm greatly worried about my sister. I hope she didn't do something stupid with her pregnancy.I have think it through, getting mad at her won't change what has happened but will only make her scared of me and that isn't what i wanted.
I will surely go easy on her, i exhaled and pray i didn't flare up or yell at her this time.
But come to think of it, who's the man she is with? I asked myself.
I started the car and clenched my teeth.
I think almost everything about Maureen mayor is a mystery.
Jillian's Pov Han pulled into my dad's house and i step out almost immediately and ran into the house panting han behind me. I dashed into my room and stopped at the entrance as i saw Maureen laying on bed What's going on " Dad, what's going on ? " I asked him , glancing at him and joan. He looks at me and smile. Doctor Joan stood up and walk towards me. " I will be on my way now, Please can i have a word with you jilly and you sir? " He asked as he walk towards the living room. I stare at my dad and we both follow joan.Han was at the living room standing beside the window. Joan turn to us and sighed. " Don't you know who she is? " He asked seriously. " She's Maureen mayor " i told him , gazing at him to tell me what's going on with her. He cleared his throat and said slowly. " She tried to abort her pregnancy " he announced. I stared at him blankly in great shock. " Which pregnancy ? " I asked joan to be Sure whether what i heard is right. I laugh slowly and hit
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
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

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

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
