Entangled Affairs Of The Heart

Sergiyev Posad village

Jasmine POV

I ran as fast as possible as my legs carried me into our small house. I locked the door behind searching for where to hide.

When I couldn't find a place, I rest my back on the wall. My heart was pounding so fast like that of someone who had just run a marathon race.

But damn! I think the race I ran today is worth more than a marathon race. I bent my head backward holding my chest.

I never know am a good runner. Not until now. "Jasmine, why are you running breathing heavily? And why are you looking around like a thief who's desperately searching for where to hide?"Dason my little brother asked glaring at me.

I need to hide somewhere.

"Idiot, are you just going to stand there and watch me die, am very sure if those huge guys barge into this house, then I am good as a dying person," I said finding where to hide.

"Oh I see, we are in trouble again what do you do this thing around?"He asked and sit on the chair in the room.

"Where's she? come out here before we break down this door"One of the guys chasing me shouted from outside.

My heart pounds heavily, my throat was in my mouth. "Am doom. This is real trouble" I mumbled.

Dason tiptoed to the door and peep through the small hole at the doorknob.

"Oh my goodness, this big guy, what on earth have you done this time around.

If I don't save you now I will be left all alone in this world, then this horrible uncle of ours we kill me with all the chores in this house. I need to think of something "Dason said to me silently hitting his head.

Authoress POV

After Dason finds a place for her sister to hid he went to opens the door yawning.

"Hey! what do you all want?"He asked etching his eyes.

"Call the lady that ran inside here to come out, if not will we scatter the whole place and bring her out, "One of them said with a horrible look ready to kill anybody who mess with him.

"What are you guys saying. A lady? No lady ran in here, so what does that suppose to mean?"Dason asked pretending not to know what they are talking about.

"We mean the lady who ran inside here just now, "Another of them said.

" Sir, I think when you are running you couldn't see properly, that's why you don't know where the person you are looking for ran into.

No one lives in this house except for me and my uncle. My sister, mother, and father are no more, they die in a terrible car accident.

I am alone now. I have been sleeping since morning. No one ran inside here. I swell" Dason said with teary eyes.

"Maybe we are mistaking we would find her elsewhere, and sorry for the loss, you are just a little kid, I don't think you will be more than 12years old, you are too young for this.

Take this money and buy something for yourself"One of them said, and brought out some money from his pocket. He gave the money to Dason and he took it with joy.

"Thank you, sir, God bless you. You will find everything you are looking for"Dason prayed. What are they find my sister he thought. "No, I mean God will bless you abundantly," Dason said and collect the money.

"Let's go and check somewhere else, if not we won't see her again, "Another of them said and they ran in another direction.

Dason waits till they are out of sight. He rushed inside and locked the door.

He went to open the wardrobe.

"Ah! thank goodness"Jasmine exclaimed wiping her sweat.

"Tell me what on earth do you go to those guys?"Dason asked.

"Wait! how do you manage to get rid of them? Those fools are desperate. I pray I don't fall into bigger trouble one day" Jasmine heaves a sigh of relief.

"I just lied I live here alone, I said you and our parents are dead. I can believe this, they even gave me money. Please just keep causing trouble for me, so they can continue to dash me money" He smiles.

"But wait a minute, do I look like a 12years old boy? I am 16 years and that fool called me 12"Dason said with an eye roll.

"You are a real fraud, how dare you lie I am dead"Jasmine gaze at Dason who looks baffled.
