Second Story of MINE TO KEEPAbby's POVThe sun made my eyes flutter.The cold water helped relieve all the stress aching inside me, my stomach was turning in anxiety. Hopefully, this interview would guarantee a stable job for me.Casual clothes were all I had stocked in my closet, but the simple white dress I had hidden seemed fitting for this occasion.I dragged my hand across the chipping paint of the walls, soon enough I'll be able to afford a fresh repaint. I slipped on some heels before walking out, knuckles turning white as I held my bag tightly.The bus creaked to a stop, a handful of people walking out. I hurried inside, trying to find a seat amidst this chaotic crowd.I breathed heavily once my stop arrived, the wind viciously cold against my bare arms. I checked my phone, I was early by an hour. Luckily, I was dropped off right in front of the building I was supposed to work at.I regretted not bringing a jacket, the cold air clawed my skin as I entered. The inside was massi
Abby's POVI was awake, but my eyes were closed shut. The feeling of someone's hand caressing my hair as I slowly regained my consciousness.I slowly open my eyelids to see my boss staring at me.I stood up, the overwhelming feeling of the dizziness in my head forced me to close my eyes in pain.I spoke with my eyes shut in pain. "I'm so sorry, this was a very bad first impression"He grasped my shoulder, gently pushing me back to the bed. "It's alright, you can rest for now"The silence around us was comforting, but what seemed to bother me the most was his eyes, they were so hidden and cast off, lifeless and dark.He noticed me observing them, interrupting the curiosity in my head as he looked down and ignored my stare.He spoke assertively, the tone forcing me to do as told. "Tomorrow at seven thirty, I expect you to be there early"And then, he was gone.*****I woke up and did my usual routine, picking up a grey pencil skirt and a dark blue long-sleeved shirt after I showered, fi
Abby's POVHe gazed into me his chocolate brown eyes, boring into mine.He was still holding on to me, not letting me go.I knew that he had no intention on moving, neither did I, but someone had to move away."Sir?" I whispered and pushed him away, gently trying to pry him off, but instead he tightened his grip on me."I'm sorry, I'm just not used to this, this is how I always do it with my employees"My limbs were frozen, unable to move from the warm position, and oddly comfortable.He's always been like this?How about those before me? Have they experienced much worse than me?He lifted me up, propping my elbow to stand up. He turned away and returned to his desk without a word."Get some files at the File Room, files A, D and E, I want them neatly arranged and alphabetized" He said and turned back to work on his laptop.I quickly walked out, but before I could get out I heard him speak, stopping me in place.He sighed before speaking sincerely. "Let me treat you to lunch, to make

After having a relaxing bath, I shaved my body, brushed my teeth and blowdried my hair.I called liam and rosaliya, telling them about me going to italy both of them were sad, rosaliya even started to cry.I checked my phone and zachary was calling me, then I answered the call."good afternoon Mr.DeLuca" I said politely."why was your phone busy, I have been trying to call you from last 20 minute's." he said in a pissed tone."umm I was talking to liam" I said meekly not wanting to make him more angry."I'm outside your apartment, open the door" he said coldly and ended the call.I opened the door and was suddenly pinned to the wall."get ready sunshine, right now cause we are leaving" he said looking at me intensly while I looked down.
