Still You

Chapter 1 

Rita's POV

My heart skipped a beat just by a single glance at the man standing in front of me. Deep-sea blue eyes, neatly set dark brown hair with flecks of light brown, perfectly sculptured nose, and pink kissable lips- 

Wait for what?! Shut up, Rita! You don't even know that guy!

Oh! Don't you wanna know?

Shut up! Stupid subconscious!

I realized that I was still staring at the stranger. I quickly avert my eyes and look down letting my hair shield my face. I look up after a few seconds to see the receptionist Christopher gooey eyes towards the man. I gagged mentally and cleared my throat.

She came out of her trance and looked at my side. She rolled her eyes and said "Didn't I tell you that the interviews are canceled. Go now."

"But why? W-Why are the interviews canceled?" I asked.

"Because our CEO had to fire the HR manager due to some mistake he did and now there is no need for a secretary. Okay? Will you leave now?" She said calmly.

I nodded and left the building all the while feeling someone's eyes on me and I hoped it was not that stranger. Why couldn't they have informed us beforehand that the interview was canceled?! What a waste of time and money! 

By the time I went home, it was already 4 and I feared it was not one of those days when Raphael was home early. I opened the gate and saw that Raphael's car wasn't in the garage. I huffed out in relief and happily went inside the house. I wanted something to eat because I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. 

"Where the fuck have you been?" I jumped in fright when I heard his voice. I slowly turned to see him lying on the couch, he got up and started wall Christopher up to me and I stayed at my spot. 

"I asked where have you Christopher been?" He yelled. And my whole body was shaChristopher in fear. "T-T-Raphael I-I went f-for an int-interview. But it got canceled so I had to return back." 

He came to me and grabbed my hair in his fist and made me look at him. "You are lying aren't you? You must be whoring around somewhere fucChristopher some guy whom I don't know about. Huh?" He spat at my face grabbing my hair harder. 

Tears started coming out of my eyes and I tried to free from his grip without saying anything because I know he won't believe me. He left my hair suddenly Christopher I fall to the ground. 

I started breathing in gasps trying to scoot away from him. "Get out of my sight." He said and I looked at him shocked, this was the first time he did not beat me although he was so angry just a minute ago. "GO!" He yelled and I ran away to my room quickly and closed the door. 

Why didn't he hit me?

Does he regret everything?

Does he finally realize he's wrong?

Or maybe he's just not in the mood to hit me?

Does he- Ugh this is frustrating!

I go to my bed and lie down when I hear the door creak. I looked up in fright to see... Chase? 

Why would he come here? I started sweating profusely, he smirked while nearing my bed. I got off the bed "Chase what are you doing here?" I asked.

Chase was a past I didn't want to remember. He is a scar in my life that I can't erase. The guy of my nightmares. The guy who ruined my life. Shattered my heart into so many pieces that no one can mend it. The guy who took from me, my dignity.

"Well, well! You have grown into one fine young woman, haven't you?" he said, Christopher at me while coming near to me. I gulped and started going backward. I couldn't let him see that I was afraid. 

"Why are you here Chase? Who let you-" I stopped when I realized something. "Raphael?"I whispered more to myself, but his evil smirk said he heard it too. Raphael had let him in, Raphael told him to...

"Yup! You are absolutely right! Your brother sent me in your room and obviously not to waste time or have a chat with you." My eyes widened and I tried to escape through the door but he caught my arm and dragged me to the bed and pushed me to it. 

"Raphael! Raphael, please help! Raphael!" I started screaming and heard the door open. Chase and I looked towards him. I ran to him, stumbling a few times. 

"Raphael please stop him. Please don't do this Raphael." I begged him. He didn't even budge "I need Christopher's money and I don't have any. You are a whore anyway, I am just bringing it to good use." He said.

"Raphael I am your sister for God's sake. Are you insane? Don't you remember anything?" I said but he didn't reply. "Raphael please don't do this. I am searching for a job, as soon as I get a job I'll get you money." I pleaded.

He looked at me for a good two minutes. "Dude c'mon don't fall for her puppy eyes. She's mine for the night. I am giving you money, ain't I?" Chase interrupted.

I quickly shook my head and saw them both looChristopher at each other.

"You need to leave Chase." He said and left the room. Chase groaned and shot me a deadly glare. I sighed in relief and went to leave the room. 

He suddenly came from behind, closed the door and pushed me against it, and said "ThIs isn't over bitch! You will be mine. I will make sure of it." and left pushing me to the ground. 

I pulled my knees to my chest and sobbed quietly. 

Cried to me till I fell asleep.

Christopher's POV

Have you ever felt like killing someone? Like you're just sitting and you just feel like killing someone? 

No?

Okay well, I was feeling like this. What do I do? 

Why don't you just kill yourself?

No, I can't. I am needed by many people in this world.

I need a drink. I go to the mini club/bar in my lobby. After a few drinks, I start than Christopher about her. That girl in the reception today. She was really beautiful I must say. Her brown hair, small but cute face, full pink lips, deep brown eyes like those which held deep secrets in them. She had a pretty petite figure and was short maybe 5''1 or so. But she was magnificently beautiful-

What the fuck Ash? Have you gone crazy? Am I drunk with just two-three drinks? I should just go sleep already. 

I went to my bedroom and lay on the bed. I almost instantly fell asleep with the thoughts of a certain brown-eyed beauty.
