LITTLE FIANCEE

Not your fault

     Jace rushed in thirty minutes later panting he rush frantically up the stairs praying desperately nothing had gone wrong.

  Randy ran up along with him and they both made their way to Jaennie room.

Jeannie was seated at the corner of her room her head resting at the side board of her bed. Her eyes were close and she opened them slightly to see Jace crouch beside her on the floor.

   "Hey are you okay, does it hurts anywhere?" Jace asked looking her over.

   "I think am lost" she said to him, Jace scowl deepen and he stared worriedly at her.

   "Lost?" He asked confused he turn to look at Randy for answers but the young lad shrug his shoulder.

  "My life has been all a lie I don't understand anything at all" Jaennie said grasping onto Jace hand which was caressing her face. She look up at him and tears well up pooling her sight, her image became blurry it drop sliding down her delicate skin.

   "Jaennie you ain't lost tell me what wrong, you are getting Randy worried" Jace told her.

She shook her head and look over at Randy who seem to understand her gesture. He walk out shutting the door behind him.

She wipe her face with the back of her palm and sniff in she sat up and pick up the picture she found in her mother diary and showed it to Jace.

Jace look down at her outstretched hand collected the picture his eyes peer into the picture and noticed a familiar face and stare at it confused.

  "Is this__" Jace was saying and Jaennie nodded her head.

"Ivanie father with my mom" Jaennie told him. Jace still didn't understand he turn the picture over not seeing the point she was pointing at.

  "Were they friends?" Jace asked which made Jaennie shook her head.

  "Lover, and ....and__" it dawn on Jace what she was getting at, his eyes widen as he stare at the picture his face morph into confusion again.

  "Wait how's that even possible I mean anything is possible. Let me get the straight you and Ivanie are related?" He asked astonished by the discovery.

  Such coincidence but things weren't looking good, if they were both siblings then would happen when this all gets revealed, everything would be a mess.

   "Ivanie it her dad she's going to hate me I can't do this, I feel so guilty right now it eating me up" Jaennie said to Jace.

  Jace sigh he use his thumb to wipe her tears and said to her.

   "Ivanie isn't like that, and it not your fault your parents couldn't deal with their matter and got you involved in it. You shouldn't antagonize yourself like this it breaks my heart " Jace said to her.

He pulled her into a hug and she sniffle.

The gate to the Shanks mansion opened up and a car drove in, Ivanie got down the front seat her head taking in the familiar scene, she missed the old days of running around their fast compound and messing around.

   Vlad had ask James to drop her off and she couldn't be more thankful for that. She had important matters to discuss with her parents and she couldn't ignore it any longer.

  The door was automatically opened by the maid upon recognizing her, things were different she thought.

she had grown up some more maybe in maturity, because she could vividly remember the maids trying to make sure she stayed away from the kitchen as she always end up making a mess of the place giving them extra work to deal with.
