Jillian's Pov
When 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 need to check on him " She said, walking towards the guests quarters without waiting for response.
I heard Jack sighed when Maureen walk off.
" What happened? " I asked him , he turn to me slowly and i quickly added before he reply " The Truth. I want the truth "
He look away, bowing his head. Despite the awkwardness of the situation i allowed my eyes to roam around him. He is just so beautifully made.
He sat down on the bed tiredly , clasping his head with his palm in frustration.
" I'm sick of this, it's driving me nuts " He said jerking to his feet.
" Jack " i called softly to calm him down. I could feel his anger rising.
" Mike told us that Han's mother is the culprit. I really can't believe this, if Maureen heard this I'm very sure she won't think twice before ending up whatever that is between her and Han "
My heart miss a beat and I breathe out slowly. Han's mother? This is ridiculous. Oh my! No wonder Mr Mike fired my previous chauffeur and appointed Han as the new one all of a sudden.
" We all know he grew up in an orphanage home, there is no way he would know about his mother or the reason why she killed your dad ... Right? " I asked
" Right, i need to get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day " Jack responded walking away to his room and as usual i followed him.
" What is your plan now? " I asked stepping into the room with him.
" Not much, i have to find the woman who killed my father and to work " he explained getting undress. I watched with tantalizing eyes as he pulled off his black top to reveal his biceps. He then pulled off his baggy trousers and get into his pajamas. He stopped halfway through hooking the buttons to stare at me.
" Are you okay? " He asked me.
" Yeah, I'm fine. I'm totally fine " i said when i got myself back in control.
" I need you to start working immediately, Mayors creation needs you now " He said getting into bed.
My heart leap for Joy. Wow, i will be allowed to model again, oh! How much i miss the cameras.
I grinned and rush to him.
" Of course, i will surely model for mayors creation Jack ... I mean boss " I concluded humourously and he chuckled.
Yeah, I love that deep sound.
" Mayors creation will provide anything you need, wait... You got no manager and a chauffeur " He said looking at me.
" Of course , i can't allow larry to ... Oh that evil man. But i got Han, he is my chauffeur " i suggested
He gave me a silly look before hissing.
" I won't allow my brother in law to be a chauffeur, we will announced it soon that he's the father of Maureen mayor's baby so ... "
I nodded , thrilled by the idea. This is so great! But then i frown.
" Who will be my chauffeur then ? " I asked him gently.
He tilted his head thoughtfully for a while.
" Someone i trust, Logan " He finally responded and i gasp.
" You don't mean it. Logan will... " He silence me with a kiss.
" I need to sleep darling, good night " He said smiling before laying his head back on the pillow. He saw me pouted and smile before closing his eyes.
Either he must be very tired or he feel so safe with me around, i don't know but immediately his eyelids drops he slept off.

I woke up alone in bed and i saw Jack getting ready for work. His face guarded and in control once again.
" Good morning " i greeted and he walked to me slowly placing a light kiss on my forehead.
" Good morning and get dress sleeping beauty. You have a job to do " He said smiling.
I got off bed to take my bath and to wash my hair.
I walked into the living room a while later. Jack isn't there , i got dressed up in a beautiful, expensive clothes that jack has ordered from his departmental store.
The guy seem so filthy rich even with his company going bankrupt. I guess that isn't the issue anymore Because he is back in control.
I stop breathing suddenly when i realized i haven't heard from my dad.
What a second! No way. I picked up my cellphone and dialed his number but no, he isn't picking up.
Oh lord, please save my father. I prayed, i dash downstairs with a blurry eyes and without saying a word to anyone i get into my car and race off to his house. With my eyes clouded, i couldn't think straight. Many weird Imagination in my head that i couldn't wave away by shooking my head.
I alighted when i finally arrived at my father's house with my heart drumming repeatedly in my ear.
I pushed open the door and it gives way. I stepped in and froze.
What? I shuddered in shock. I have always thought I won't recognize my mother when she finally appear but i was wrong.
As i stood there, in the doorway staring at the shabby looking woman who seated on the couch accross my dad whose face was white in shock for seeing me, i gritted my teeth.
" Mother? " I called in a low tone and she flinched slightly when she heard the word. Not that she deserved it though.
" Jill " She said and i sighed heavily to stop the tears from Flowing but i failed.
Both she and Jack are the only ones who called me Jill. My heart feel heavy and my shoulder sagged at the sights of her.
My mother is here, amidst the battle. What's going on?
