Chapter 41 - CHAPTER FORTY: The news

Jack's Pov

The woman before me smile at me but i kept my expression straight.

I wonder why she came to me. I haven't been the fan of anything that has to do with claw foot club but i have watch mutiples interview of Jill.

Whenever she was asked about her mother by the interviewer she would shrug and alter the conversation.

I stare at her with many thoughts on my mind.

" How is Jillian doing? Is she in the hospital already? " she asked eagerly.

I stare at the woman for a long time before scoffing.

" How do you know she's Ill? "

She flinched slightly at my question, i know i caught her off guard.

" Well, she's a famous model and rumours spread faster this days " she said shrugging her shoulder.

" Oh really? " I replied thoughtfully " well If you will excuse me ma'am. I'm very busy thanks to the one you heard the so call rumours from " i said staring at her.

She look at me for the last time before walking out.

" Who is she ? " I heard Han ask from behind me.

" She call herself Jillian's mother " i replied watching the woman as she drove off.

" Why would she come here? "

I sighed staring at the plate number of her car before she finally drive out of view.

" Tell me about it , as much as i would love to have my men Trail her I'm busy so I won't " i extended my cellphone to han. " That's her car number. You can look into it later. "

Han received my cellphone from me to copy the numbers.

" Who is that man who came by with his mum earlier? " Han asked and i turn to him.

" That's Donald, my personal assistant and my childhood friend. You will call him on any issue regarding Jill's surgery fee. I just received a message from my manager. My flight will be ready in four hours time "

Han stare at me shock giving me back my cellphone.

" How could your manager speed up your schedule like that? "

" It was not his fault. I was the one who has been declining his call, i have to go early for training anyway in order to be fit "

" How about Jill and Maureen? "

" They will be in your care, i will inform my men to listen to you till I'm back "

Han exhaled before looking away. I smile, it will be hard for him Alone.

" I will be back as soon as I'm done with the competition, for the main time please steer clear from the Mikes "

" How about Jill? She would surely ask for you when she wakes up "

I nodded " tell her I'm busy "

I walk away then to my room tiredly.

Jillian's father has made it clear to me that he doesn't want me for his daughter.

I walk into the bathroom to get cleaned up.

I came out from the bathroom minutes later to get dressed.

I pack up for the journey and finally i sat on the bed totally exhausted.

I set an alarm so i wouldn't miss my flight, not that i really care. I could always get another one after all I'm Jack mayor.

When i was about to sleep , i heard a Knock on my door.

I sat up telling the knocker to come in.

Maureen step into my room for the first time since she came back .

I gaze at her standing and i smile to her.

" Sit down, I'm not mad at you anymore " i said to her.

She slowly sat down at the edge of the bed.

" I heard from han that you will be travelling for the competition in four hours time "

I nodded staring at her face.

" Less than four hours now, you don't need to look very sad. I'm not going to die "

She smile wanly looking away.

" Will you be okay? I heard what happened to Jill from han " she told me quietly.

I sighed softly.

" I had to for you and the baby, she will be fine. The surgery will take place soon "

She nodded slightly , she reached for my hand.

" Please be safe, you are the only one i got now "

I shook my head " no , you got han as well "

She flinched in shock.

" How do you know? "

" I overheard, well i do not mean to eavesdrop "

She searched my face.

" Are you not mad about it ? " She asked in a low tone and i chuckled.

Oh goodness! Why is she so scared of me. Probably because she knows about my temper.

" I'm not, I'm actually relieved it isn't Zach's "

She smile absently watching me

" I will leave you to rest then "

" Maureen? " I called her gently and she cocked up an eyebrow in response. " Do you see the face of who assaulted you this evening?

She shook her heard slowly " no, but i know it's a man. He grabbed me from behind and the next thing i passed out "

I smile in response and she went out.

My cellphone rang out loudly, i hiss when i saw the caller.

Jane should know better than calling me.

My mind drifted at Maureen's words.

The Mikes are getting things very serious. They even dare to send a man into my home to attack my sister.

I clenched my teeth in annoyance.

Once I'm done with this competition i will start playing dirty as well.

My eyelids drops then and i slept off.

Jack's Pov

My alarms woke me up at the wee hour of the morning.

I grunted , getting off bed to get prepare.

Thirty minutes later i am ready to leave for the airport.

I walk out of my room to Maureen's.

I open her door slightly and i saw her sleeping.

I sighed before closing the door slowly not wanting to wake her up.

I made for the living room where i saw han watching TV.

" I almost forgot there is TV in this house " i said to Han.

He turn to me.

" I just watch the news "

I shrugged " what is it about ? "

" It's about Your sister, Maureen mayor "i gaze at han in confusion.

" About Maureen? "

" Yes, they Said Zach Mike is ready to wed her "

" Wed? " I said in total surprise. I chuckled " not while I'm alive "
