Page 3 of Vows In Corruption
It’s going to be hard. I’m only twenty and she’s eleven, but I will do everything in my power to give her the best life she deserves.
Life may try to knock me down, but for her I will try.
I will give my sister every single thing that she deserves.
Life. Happiness. Love.
Everything single thing.
I may not be rich, but I will do it.
Just watch me.

ELLA
Present day
Ilook at how much money I have in my savings accounts and I let out a groan.
The number is a decent amount, but the second that all the bills go through, that amount is going to dwindle and I’m sure that the new number that is going to replace it will for sure make me cry.
That’s adult hood for you.
Whoever thought that it would be a good idea to make things so damn expensive needs a good kick in the ass. Some of us can barely survive with how the economy is going.
Damn, I guess I’m really becoming a real life adult it I’m mentally ranting about the economy and the amount that things cost.
If I didn’t have my welcome to adulthood moment years ago, this would be it.
Not wanting to get more frustrated by the very few numbers my bank account show, I close the tab and open another and type in four words into the search bar.
Job openings in Chicago.
Another groan leaves my body.
I love my current job. Well, I love the people I work with and the flexibility that the job offers me. The customers I deal with on a daily basis, I can deal without, but everything else makes it hard to want to leave.
But I have either leave or look for a second to help with the bills.
My hours keep getting cut more and more with each coming week and it has come to the point where I can’t work two eight hour shifts and be okay. Especially if Charlie ever gets into that private school she applied to about a year ago.
I need something that is more constant in days and more steady in the money department. A full time job will be perfect, but I will take a second part time job if I can.
I just have to get over the displeasure that comes with looking through all the job listings.
Let out a sigh, I press the enter button and let the page populate.
I don’t know if I should be grateful or discourage with the amount of job openings that pop up. There has to be more than a few thousand listings.
My eyes travel to the time at the edge of my computer screen and I let out a sigh.
It looks like I will be looking for something to apply to all damn night.
“I guess one sleepless night won’t hurt.”
Squaring my shoulders back, I get to work and start scrolling though all the job boards that I can find.
