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.

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 "
