Fears and promises

Eira's pov

I was finally searching for universities and their eligibility criteria. But the most difficult part was writing a college application essay. I had always hated that part, even when I first applied to universities.

I got up from the bed and walked out, my head a little dizzy. I don't know why because even after days of healing my head is still dizzy. I reached my living room and heard Jasper talking to someone so angrily.

"How can't you find him even after days of searching" he said sharply to whoever was on the other end. "He wouldn't just disappear Tristan, why can't your men find one man" he hadn't sensed me even now, so he continued to talk angrily to his brother. Who was he searching for and why so angrily.

"Jasper" I called for him. He whirled around, his phone clutched tightly in his hand. "Who are you talking to? Is this Tristan?"

"You shouldn't be out of bed Eira" he was still on call with his brother. "Go and rest, and yes I am talking to Tristan" when he saw that I wasn't going anywhere so he just asked his brother that he'll call later and then he came over to me.

"Jasper," I pressed, my voice barely above a whisper. "Who are you looking for? Why are you so upset?"

He sighed, the anger momentarily draining from his face. "It's Matteo," he confessed, running a hand through his hair. Who was this man Jasper was searching for and for what? Or was he talking about my uncle, Matteo.

"Is this my uncle Matteo?" why was he searching for uncle? Why did he have to do anything with him. "Jasper, wasn't he in jail? Then why are you searching for him?" my heart beat in fear. Why was he out of jail and Jasper searching for him. He should be in jail.

"Eira," Jasper's voice cut through the fog of panic rising in my mind. His eyes were filled with a concern that went beyond the immediate situation. "It's okay, I won't let him near you. But something's happened, and we need to find him."

"What happened Jasper? What did he do and how is he out of jail" first thing he did was make me sit down on the sofa and then settled himself. He raked his fingers through his hair.

"I don't know why he is out of jail but he is. So after your accident in Brazil, Tristan said that he wants to investigate about your accident because he suspected that it wasn't an accident. So finally he found out that it wasn't an accident and we are searching for your uncle ever since"

"Jasper," I rubbed my forehead. A headache was rising. "Please tell me what you are saying is a lie. Because why would my uncle want to kill me? He left our family ages ago, there is no reason for him to be back"

"Eira," he pulled me closer. "You don't have to worry, he can hide wherever he wants but we will find him" he pecked my lips. "I promise you that I will find him and give him what he deserves. No harm will come in your way"

His words did little to subside my fear. My mind was a whirlpool of fear and confusion. Matteo uncle is out of jail and somehow connected to my accident in Brazil. "Promise me Jasper, he won't harm me"

"He won't" he pecked my lips. "I promise he can't harm you" he pulled me over in his lap and I settled there in the fetus position, feeling the safest in his arms. He continued to run my back while my mind reeled. My uncle was out of jail and out in the wild. He had harmed me in the worst possible way and there are high chances that he will do the same again.

"You don't have to worry Eira," Jasper whispered, "we will find him and he will be punished for what he did to you." I knew he was telling the truth, he will find my uncle and he will but the fear was still sprouting in the bottom of my heart. My head was a mess. "Eira," I turned to look at Jasper who was holding my hand and looking straight into my eyes.
