Jack's Pov
I flinched slightly in shock when i heard Mr Michealson's favor.
I slowly glance at Janes who stare at me with an unread Expression.
I cough slightly before speaking.
" I don't understand, why should i marry her? " I asked Mr michealson who smile to me.
" She tried to commit suicide "
" What! Suicide? Why? " I asked in horror.
I stare hard at Janes and i doubt if she can do such a very mean task.
I have known her for four years when i came to pooling lodge. Then she has been the daughter of my boss while i was nothing less than just a newbie in the team.
She has been very nice to me , i have felt her feelings then.
We dated for about four months before i call it a quit when i caught her with my junior making out.
She had apologize to death as at that time but me being Jack Mayor never forget even though i forgave her.
I have told her to drop any idea of us getting back together for our friendship to be meaningful.
She had then travelled far away for a business trip.
I heard she came back a year ago but then i have started mayors creation and so i haven't seen her until now.
I stare at her and the memory of her kissing Mitch filled my mind.
I look away to think straight.
" Jack " Mr michealson called me gently and i face him. " Please listen to her , i will give you two some privacy " he said standing up.
" I will be on my way now. I don't want to hear any of this sir " i said getting on my feet as well.
I can't get involved with anyone except Jill.
I love her.
I made to go out but Mr michealson stop me.
" I heard mayors creation is at the edge of bankruptcy "
I froze in shock. How did he know?
I turn to him.
" How do you know? "
" Mike. He meet me up last week telling me to cut the ties between you and I. He said your company is not doing well this time and mayor's name will end soon "
I smile " you think i will allow that? "
" No , you are jack mayor. I know you won't that is why I'm asking you to marry my daughter. I will support mayors creation from now on. "
I stare at him surprised.
Should i say he is selfish or he was just concerned about his daughter ?
I shut my eyes thinking.
I feel like strangling that Mike right now.
I know Mr Wilson will be very disappointed if he heard mayors creation is going down but still i can't sacrifice my happiness to revive the company.
Things is not too bad for me to go on marrying someone who cheated on me.
" I will pretend i did not have this conversation with you sir. Please excuse me " i said and walk out.
I met Mel at the door , he walk with me towards the exit.
" I'm sure you heard the conversation " i said tiredly when i saw him staring at me.
" Jack won't you marry Janes? I thought you love her "
I stopped immediately to stare hard at Mel.
" I stop loving her since the day she cheated on me " i said.
I walk to my car and i saw Janes waiting for me.
" I will call you about the schedule " he said before walking away.
I sighed softly as Janes stood before me.
It is cold and i really would love to go home.
" Jack I'm sorry " She said slowly and i look away.
Not now , i said inwardly.
She continues " I'm very sorry, I'm at fault. Yes, i cheated but that does not mean i love you less "
I stare at her expressionlessly. Typically jack mayor's behavior. I'm getting upset.
" I love you jack and I'm ready to do whatever you want, i love... "
" Stop! " I told her in a cold voice. " I don't care about the past anymore or who you get involved with. I will never accept you. " I said walking around to open my car.
" It was just a mistake. " She said , her voice breaking. " Can't you overlook this once? "
She said staring at me. I sighed softly staring at her.
She walk closer to me , her fingers brushing my shoulder.
I jerk away from her touch.
I open the car and drove away
Good! The Mikes has completely succeeded in ruining me but i won't fall.
I do not want to make Mr michealson my enemy at all but the way the situation is i will have no choice.
One thing is very clear, i do not love Janes.
The love i have for her evaporated four years ago when i caught her cheating.
I quickly brought out my cellphone and call Logan.
I gave him the address to Joan's hospital and i brief him quickly on what his purpose will be.
My cellphone rang and i stare at the screen.
It's Janes! I glance away from it.
Mel must have given her my contact.
After a long drive , i finally pull into my house.
I alighted from the car and i saw Jill's car as well.
Han is here. I said to myself.
I quickly went inside. No one is at the living room.
I race upstairs to Maureen's room.
Maureen sat up drinking water, han was sitting at the bed and Donald was there staring at them.
They all stop to look at me.
I ran to the bed side
" Are you okay ? " I asked her gently and she nodded.
I turn to Han.
" How is Jill? " I whispered.
" She has been transferred for the surgery " he said also in hush tone.
I nodded then turn to Donald who was staring at us.
" Where is mum ? " I asked him.
" She is at the kitchen " he replied
I glanced at my wrist watch.
" It is late, she should be on her way now " i said.
The door open and carol came in.
She smile at me.
" You are back " she said and i smile in response.
" Mum it is late, i think you should be on your way " i told her and she nodded.
She grab her bag.
" You are right, i could use some rest. Make sure Maureen is well rested " she said and went out.
I stare at Donald expecting him to leave as well but he did not.
Fine, i Know what is on his mind.i pull him out of Maureen's room and he glare at me.
" Is that her man ? " He ask me and i nodded.
" That is han, he is responsible for Maureen's pregnancy " i told him and he look away.
I sighed deeply " Donny stop it already. We all know Maureen never love you. She is pregnant now , it's time to let go of your feelings for her " i told him.
I saw him gritted his teeth before walking away towards the exit to meet his mum.
I sighed softly, things are going to get ugly now.
I know he is hurt right now, i wonder what he will do this time.
I heard him drove away, i was about to return to Maureen's room when i heard the doorbell.
I descend the stairs slowly to see who the guest is.
" Who are you? " I asked the elderly woman who stood before me.
" I believe you are Jack Mayor. I am Jillian's mother " she said and i stare at her in shock.
