Ciara's pov

What did I do to make myself feel this way? Why does he have to make me feel as though I'm worthless as garbage in his eyes? Why does he have to make me feel as if he truly despises me when he could simply tell me that he doesn't want me here and I should just leave? Isn't it funny how he always makes me feel as if he wants me to vanish, but he won't let me leave the house without him knowing?

I just stared into the emptiness, tears streaming down my cheek. The burden of my feelings was reflected in each drop of my warm tears.

"Ciara!" Fear was so clear and visible to my eyes as I turned my gaze at the door when I heard Tyron call out my name. His loud and deep voice and heavy footsteps coming towards my room made me feel his rage, I could even imagine his death glares pinning on me and I knew that this time I could never escape from the pain again. Another day of suffering, another new trauma could build upon me.

As he slammed the door open, trembling began to rumble in my chest, and my heart hammered in dread. When I noticed how sharp it had prompted a look at me, fear and worry permeated my whole system.

"You never really learn!" As he gritted his teeth out of anger while walking towards me with his heavy footsteps. Grasping my bedsheet, my heart pounded in fear while waiting for him to come near me. In my mind, I was battling with myself whether I should fight back this time or let him hurt me again.

I swallowed hard, feeling my tears threatening to fall because of the overwhelming feeling drowning me. I felt dizzy, I felt like I was going to pass out, my chest felt so heavy and my thoughts were all over the place.

"I-I'm not doing anything wrong," I responded to him nervously when he finally got closer to where I was sitting. But it seems like he didn't hear what I said because, without hesitating, he landed his palm on my face. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt the powerful force of it. For a brief period, I felt numb throughout my entire body as the pain penetrated my heart.

My tears flowed once more as a result of the sorrow it added to how hard and heavy I'm feeling right now.

"Have you already told her about how badly I'm treating you, huh?! And, more than likely, you'll make yourself look so damn pathetic in front of her, showing how innocent you are, leading her to believe I'm the one who's at fault here. Where in fact, it's you! It's always you who always tries to play innocent, despite the fact that you're a complete demon on the inside! You're a fucking evil, Ciara!"

"An evil who was so desperate to tear us apart. Now tell me, what did you tell her, huh? Tell me!" He cried and unexpectedly, I had no idea he'd wrap his arms around my neck and choke me to death. My lips trembled as I felt how difficult it is to catch a breath.

I did nothing.

I tried to reach and hold his hand to remove it, but it was too tight and my hands were too weak to stop him.

I-I can't breathe.

"T-Tyron... L-let go of me. I can't b-breathe." I mumbled. I couldn't even talk properly because he tightened his grasp on my neck even more, and my uncontrollable tears streamed down my cheeks, making it even harder for me to breathe as my chest tightened.

"T-Tyron..."

"What? You're going to die now, huh?! I told you not to show up to her but you still did! You're so hard-headed, it was just so simple to understand, yet you can't even do it?! Stupid!" He blurted out.

B-but she's the one who came to me...

"Once I lose her again because of you, I'm telling you, this won't be the last thing I'll do to you. I'll make you taste the bitterness of your own medicine once you fucked up again against us. You didn't do anything right in your life, Ciara. You know how badly I wanted to erase you from our lives, but I'm not a demon like you. But once this thing happens again, I really won't forgive you ever again."

I can see the anger and pain in his eyes and I know there's something wrong with it. I can sense it.

"I.. c-can't...b-... b-breathe..." My voice was so weak and unclear, I can barely see him anymore because of the tears that are already dripping all over my face.

"L-let go... a-ah!" I suddenly grabbed my chest when I felt it flicker and tightened as if someone was squeezing it.

Why does it have to be right now? My heart... Please, I'm begging you not now... I can't handle all of this pain.

I saw how his reaction altered when he saw me suffering and grabbing my chest in pain. His enraged gaze shifted to a worried expression. He immediately released me from the stranglehold and without any word, he ran out of the room.

"A-aaah!!" I screamed in pain.

I c-can't hold this anymore...

Someone's pov

You are indeed a demon from hell, Tyron. I won’t be surprised if one day you'd just say goodbye to her lifeless body. What you're doing to her is very unreasonable. You act and do things without considering the consequences. Your wickedness was so incredible and unparalleled that I wouldn't wonder when one day, she'll just give up on you once she comes to her senses.

If I could just compare you to a devil I would think it was you who's just disguising yourself as a person.

I adjusted my position from standing while at the top of the tree as I peeked again through the telescope I was carrying, to see what was happening to Ciara at the moment.

I saw everything he did to Ciara, I would really think that he's a psychopath because he can easily hurt and lay his hands on Ciara without hesitation. Who on earth with a sober mind could do such terrible things to their wives? Isn't he insane? Does he even know the word mercy? Can he even feel those kinds of feelings? because if not, he's really cruel and heartless. His day doesn't last long without him making Ciara's life hell.

I glanced through my telescope once more and noticed that Tyron was no longer there. So I quickly jumped down from the tree and ran to their main door. When I was sure that Tyron had left, I immediately went straight to Ciara's room. I even caught her unconscious while her body was slightly bending over and holding onto his chest.

Why is he holding there?

Probably, she was struggling to breathe because of Tyron's cruelty in strangling her. That was really unbelievable. He’s even worse than the worst, seriously. What he is doing is no longer fair.

I just shake my head because of disbelief.

"Tss! You're on the brink of death, yet you're still not fighting back." I whispered, frowning, I know she couldn't hear me but I'm wishing right now that she can hear everything that I'm going to say for her to realize that her stupidity in love is no longer normal and acceptable.

I carried her and took her out of their house to take her to the hospital. I saw that it had a tear in the corner of her eyes, that's why I gently wiped it away. Her face was also wet because of her tears.

"Why can't you just leave him? It is as if you will die if you choose your own safety and freedom."I complained as if she could hear what I was saying. I scoffed as I glanced at her on the backseat where I laid her.

"Don't worry. I'll take you away from them once I find a way how we can escape." I tried to smile at her before starting the engine of my car.

I've been watching Ciara for a long time and have seen all of her struggles whenever he's with that man. I'm not sure how she manages to bear and withstand all that anguish by sticking with that asshole man even though what she receives was only pure resentment. Isn't she tired of getting hurt? Because I do.

He doesn't even deserve love from Ciara.

I'm just pissed at her, why is it that she's already being hurt, she still doesn't want to leave him. He had so many reasons and opportunities to leave Tyron, but she never did it, at least once. She never tried and I don't know if sometimes it crossed her mind to leave him. She can just go and never go back, but still, she keeps coming back.

"You're now a broken glass, yet you choose to care more about him than your own."

"I don't know if I still feel pity for you or I just ... really want you?" I just gently and slowly bumped my head on the steering wheel as I realized what I just said.

Where did I even get that question? Hell...

"Nevermind. Just don't worry, I'll take you away from him, wait for the right time." I utter and stopped the car when we got to the hospital.

HOSPITAL

"Nurse!" I shouted, asking for help, they immediately approached and quickly put down the stretcher they bought as they took Ciara in my arms and lay her down on it before entering the hospital.

I looked at Kaye when I heard her loudly sigh.

"Again?" She looks upset, knowing that I'm here again, bringing Ciara. I always do this whenever she loses her consciousness, I don’t know what she thinks after she wakes up and goes home.

"Yeah, and as usual, please take good care of her. Make sure you won't mention anything about me when she wakes up." I smiled.

"Why don't you just take her away and leave? You could just tell her everything and once she agreed you could take her with you to Italy, since it was your plan from the very first place, right?" I sighed at her suggestion.

Yeah, it was my plan, but I'm still not yet done with my job. I am still figuring something out about my boss on why she needs to make me do it. Why does she need to know everything about them? It's obvious that she doesn't want Ciara to get hurt, but she's not mentioning any reason.

I'm confused and I need to know everything before I tell her the truth.

"If I were you, I'd just kidnap and force her to go with me out of this country. I'm the one who's worried about her situation, she's here almost every day and that doesn't sound so good, if I'm not mistaken, I heard from Dra. Lei that she has a disease that won't be easily treated." She slowly shakes her head, concern was visible in her expression.

"Tss." She hissed.

"I don't know anymore, Kaye. I'm still finding a way right now how I could take her away from them. You know them, those people around me. They're eyeing me, that's why it's not that easy to make an impulsive decision. It's hard to pretend in front of them that I'm an alliance, they have a sharp sense, it's really hard to make a move right now. It's frustrating me." I held the bridge of my nose out of frustration.

I don’t even know how I ended up in this position. I just know that Ciara's life is in danger and I need to help her out because no one would do that for her. No one was there for her, it was only herself who she can rely on. But it's too risky if she'll fight on her own, that's why I'm here. Doing everything I can do just to keep her away from danger as soon as possible without her knowing.

"Go now, I'll take care of everything here. Don't worry, she's safe here." I nodded at what she said and left immediately because I still had work to do.

I sighed as I got into my car again as I gazed where I left her. Spending my whole life following her, I don't think this is still a normal worry anymore. Am I already falling for her?

I just hit my forehead thinking I'm getting crazy because of that thought.
