The Contract

 Abella's POV

Instead of going home, I decided to drop by the hospital.

Stopped in front of dad's hospital room and stared at him, he looks way worst than the last time I saw him hmmm this is not working, and I'm thinking of asking for my salary before the weekends so as to pay for the chemotherapy. I stepped into the room, the door closing behind me.

"Hey, dad... how are you holding up?" He stopped what he was reading with a big smile on his face, how I love to see that smile it puts me at peace... He looks so frail and weak but acting strong, like all is fine. All is never fine till my father is healthy, I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say.

 His face is paler than the last time I saw him, his hair falling by the second, his lips so chapped and white losing its color, his body getting lean and weak. good Lord, this ain't good at all.

"Sweetheart, I'm holding up fine. And how are you doing? Diamond told me about the job interview, how did it go?" he asked those question, I know he did that so I won't get stressed over it... why won't I get stressed over it? he is my dad, the only parents I have left.

I smiled while staring at him "I'm good, oh yeah she did because I told her to and the interview went nice I mean, I got the job and I start tomorrow... and I'm super excited" I said with a big smile on my face while pulling up the chair in the room to sit on close to him. "so, hey! how are you feeling? for real dad" the smile on his face dropped looking at me like I said something heartbreaking.

"Okay okay okay.... I won't ask again I'm sorry dad I won't ask again, I just get worried with how you die by the minute"

Before he could reply, a nurse came in "Mr. Charles, its time for your medications... besides, visits time are over so miss Abella its time to leave" she said with a sweet smile on her face

I stood up, gave my dad a hug with a kiss on the cheek "hey, I'm leaving and stay safe and cool... ill try visit soon, will also try to work something with my boss to get an early pay for the THING" I said with a wink at him.

"Okay sweetie, take care and my regards to Diamond and Stephan" I walked out, running out of the hospital.

*******************************************************************************************

I got home looking so worn out after today's stress... no one was home so I took my bath and went straight to bed cause I didn't have the appetite to eat. 

wake up donkey head!! that damn alarm I know my bomb be ticking because I'mma crash that shit through my window. Turned my alarm off, please, why do we have morning again?

I'm not a morning person but I got a job now, I got up to prepare for today's task

after preparing I ate my breakfast and left for work cause I can't afford to be late

on getting to the office I met the bimbo again oops I man barbie doll and this time she rudely answered me "yes what are you doing here today again" oh so she remembers me I guess I'm a star now

"I got the job duh now I would like to know where my office would be" she looked at me weirdly and said I should go to the same floor 

I got there and sat on my desk awaiting my boss, I took my phone and scrolled through Instagram argh nothing interesting there and my boss is fucking late, I'm getting bored and Mr bossy thinks its right to keep a lady waiting just then the elevator dinged and I got up to greet Mr rudy bee

"good morning sir" he looked up from his phone and he felt its right to ignore me without acknowledging my presence what an ugly boss who I'm I kidding the man is a Greek god.

I knocked on his office door and got no response, home training and fear of getting sacked on my first day didn't allow me to bust the door open and give me a piece of my mind. Just as I was about to knock the third time the door opened and I walked in to see him behind that big mahogany desk, so shiny and beautiful...
