Jillian's Pov
Zach drove me back home and smile at me when I was about to alight.
I smiled back and said
" Thanks for the drink and also for the necklace " he smiles in answer and watch me get inside.
I wave at him as I stood at the door and he waved back before driving off.
I walk inside to meet larry, my hair stylist Diana ,Lorie my fashionista and also my chauffeur han. We are like a family.
They stare at me as i flop on the couch and sign.
" You haven't been eating too much ... right ? " Larry asked and i smile shooking my head in negative.
" So what's going on between you and Zach? , Common jilly he's a Playboy " Lorie said creasing her Face in sadness and I stare surprisingly at her.
That's so much of a concern.
" is that why you look so sad? Almost crying ? " Diana said hissing and I laugh.
Those two are always on each other's throat.
They quarrel all the time that I can't believe they haven't kill each other.
" I'm thinking of accepting him " I said looking at the three of them to see their Expression.
I'm not really surprised as they all stare at me.
Larry's expression is unread , I stare at him longer but there's no success in reading his expression so I turn to diana, hers was of someone delighted.
Okay I got Diana's approval while Lorie's expression is of surprised and shock.
It's a wonder she isn't having an heart attack.
" He's nice Lorie, don't be too surprise. All I want from you guys is that I want to surprise Zach. " I said to them waiting for any response.
Han didn't speak or react to any on what i was saying. I really don't know why he's always as silent as a mute person.
Probably because he's a retired Young soldier.
Larry spoke first.
" surprise? , How ? " he ask clearly confused.
Diana smile and I brace myself to hear her out.
" How about you visit him at home. He wouldn't expect you to come out of your very busy schedule " She said smiling.
I was about to reply when Lorie shot her a furious look.
" She's very busy to the extent that she couldn't visit her dad, now you want her to visit Zach? Where will the free time come from " she ask diana almost shouting.
I was surprised at the turn of event, okay I get it Lorie doesn't want Zach for me and I'm surprised at it because she's the only one who's been asking me to get a boyfriend so I won't be totally alone.
I look at her and smile.
" I got a free time tomorrow evening before my promotion early the next morning so I think I will visit Zach. " I said to her and she smiles.
" Will you be okay ? " Larry asked.
" Yeah, I will. Han will drive me over "
They all turn to han who stare at them in surprise as if they're a stranger.
I almost laugh.
" What's your opinion han ? " I asked him.
He look at me and smile shyly.
" Anything that makes you happy, i think you should go for it. " I smile brightly to him in response and stood up to go into my room and rest.
I was so tired.
No one speaks as I left the living room to my bedroom .
I took a shower and prepare for bed, it's been a long day and surely tomorrow will be a long day as well.
Accepting Zach isn't out of love. I do not love him, he's just so nice and caring.
I got this strange hunch that Zach won't leave me alone until I accept his proposal and surely I wouldn't like to mess up with my future sponsor.
My career is indirectly on the line so I reason accepting him is the best. Who knows I could fall in love with him sooner than later.
I climb on to my bed and lay down.
I tried to think about Zach more but the fatigue won't let me.
My eye lids drop and sleep engulfed my tired body.

Jack's Pov
I walk out from the kitchen to check on Maureen.
The doctor is still with her.
I walk to her room to find sally packing up her medical instrument.
Maureen was laying down staring into space.
I wonder what's wrong with her.
Sally stood up and signal me to follow her.
I step out with her and we went into the living room to have a conversation.
She sat down on the couch slowly and look up at me for I was standing.
" Your sister is pregnant jack " She announced and I urge myself to smile a little.
I don't want to blow anything off so I will myself to calm down and hear her out.
" She's going through some mental stress " she continues and I put up a hand to stop her.
" How do you mean, mental stress " i asked her completely confused.
What's going on with Maureen, what had they done to her?.
" Your sister has been abuse " She said calmly.
I stare at her for what seem like a long time.
I felt my anger rises to it's limit and I ball my hands Into a fist.
No wonder she's been wearing a full clothes that covers all her body.
Was she hiding any bruise from me ?
" Thanks Sally. I will take things from here. I would like if you come often to check on her. You can text my personal assistant Donald for the medical fee " I said before turning away.
I couldn't let her see how angry i am.
And who would have done that to my sister without thinking of the consequences.
Someone I vow to protect always.
Someone abuses her and thought that's the end? NEVER.
I heard sally drove off and I stood in front of Maureen's room.
I held the door knob but I didn't open the door.
I was so upset so I walk into my room.
I will have a full conversation with her tomorrow and she's going to tell tell me who did that to her I vow to myself.
