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 me down and I knew that this time I could never escape from the pain again.
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 in my whole system.
"Hindi ka na talaga nadala!" 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 in the process of 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.
"W-wala naman akong ginagawang masama.." 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 to 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's to tight and my hands were too weak to stop him.
I-I can't breathe.
"T-tyron... B-bitawan mo.. a-ako. Hindi ako.. m-makahinga!" 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! Ang tigas kasi ng ulo, ang simple lang ng pakiusap ko sa'yo  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 to 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 about 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.
"B-bitawan... a-ah!" I suddenly grabbed my chest when I felt it flicker and tightened as if someone was squeezing it.
Bakit naman sumabay ka pa? Bakit naman ngayon pa puso ko? Please stop.. I can't handle all of this pain anymore. Hindi ko na kaya.. huwag ka nang sumabay pa, please..
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. Hindi na ako magulat pa kung isang araw ay magpapaalam ka na sa katawan niyang walang buhay dahil sa mga pinaggagawa mo  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 as a person.
Inayos ko ang pagkakatayo ko mula sa itaas ng puno habang sumisilip sa telescope na hawak ko. Kanina pa ako nandito at nangangalay na ako, pero nang makita ko ang nangyari ay agad na kumulo ang dugo ko.
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? Nakakaramdam ba siya ng gano'n? Dahil kung hindi, naniniwala na talaga akong wala siyang puso, dahil hindi nagtatagal ang isang araw sa kanya nang hindi niya sinasaktan si Ciara.
Fuck it, Tyron. Namumuro ka na talaga. Kung pwede ka lang talagang galawin, matagal ko nang ginawa. Tangina.
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. Nang masiguro kong nakaalis na nga talaga nang tuluyan ang lalaking 'yun ay nagmadali akong umakyat sa kuwarto ni Ciara. I even caught her unconscious while her body was slightly bending over and holding onto her chest.
Why is she holding there?
Probably, she was struggling to breath because of Tyron's cruelty in strangling her. Kakaiba talaga ang ka-demonyohan ng taong 'yun. He’s worse than the worst, seriously. What he is doing is no longer fair.
Napailing na lang ako nang dahil sa inis.
"Tss! Nasa binggit ka na ng kamatayan at lahat, hindi ka pa rin lumalaban. Ano ka ba? Si wonder woman?" 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 out of their house to take her to the hospital. Nakita ko pang may bahid ng luha sa gilid ng mga mata niya, that's why I gently wiped it away. Pawis na pawis at basang-basa na rin ang mukha niya nang dahil sa luha.
"Bakit ba hindi mo maiwan? Para namang ikamamatay mo na mas uunahin mong piliin ang kaligtasan at kalayaan mo mula sa kanya." I complained as if she could hear what I was saying. I scoffed as I glanced at her on the backseat where I put her.
"Huwag kang mag-alala, maghahanap ako ng paraan maitakas ka lang sa kanila." 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 even though what she receives was only pure resentment. Isn't she tired of getting hurt? Because I do.
He doesn't even deserve a love from Ciara.
I'm just pissed at her, bakit ba naman kasi sinasaktan na siya, patuloy niya pa ring binabalikan? I mean, she had so many reasons and opportunities to leave that asshole, but she never did at least once. She never tried and I don't know if sometimes it crossed to her mind to leave him. Pwede naman siyang umalis na lang at hindi na bumalik, tss.
"Durog na durog ka na pero mas pinipili mo pa siyang unahin kesa sa sarili mo? Kakaiba ka rin naman pala."
"Tanginang 'yan, hindi ko na alam kung naaawa na lang ba ako sa'yo o sadyang ... gusto na kita?" Marahan kong naiuntog ang ulo ko sa steering wheel nang ma-realized ko ang sinabi ko.
Where did I even get that question? Hell..
"Ah basta, huwag kang mag-alala. Ilalayo kita sa kanya, hintayin mo lang ako." 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 sighed.
"Again?" She looks upset, knowing that I'm here again, bringing Ciara. I always do this whenever she loses her consciousness, hindi ko na alam kung anong iniisip niya sa tuwing magigising siya at uuwi sa bahay nila.
"Oo, tulad pa rin ng dati, Kaye. Pakialagaan na lang nang mabuti. Kapag ayaw kumain, pilitin mo. Make sure din na you won't mention anything about me kapag nagising siya." I requested.
"Bakit kasi hindi mo na lang siya itakas at umalis dito? You could just tell her everything and at kapag nagtiwala siya sa'yo, you could take her with you in Italy, since yun naman talaga ang plano mo simula pa lang, hindi ba?" I sighed from 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, kikidnapin ko na lang siya and force her to go with me out of this country. Ako 'yung nag-aalala sa sitwasyon niya, eh. She's here almost every day and that doesn't sound so good anymore. if I'm not mistaken, I heard from Dra. Lei that she has a disease that won't be easily treated." Marahan siyang napailing, concern was visible in her expression.
"Tss." She hissed.
"Hindi ko na alam, Kaye. Hanggang ngayon naghahanap pa rin ako ng tyempo at pagkakataon para malayo ko siya sa kanila. You know them, those people around me. They're eyeing me, that's why it's not that easy to make a decision. It's hard to pretend sa harapan nila na kakampi ako kahit hindi talaga, 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's 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.
"Sige na, 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, hindi ko alam kung normal na lang ba na pag-aalala ang narardaman ko para sa kanya. Am I already falling for her?
Nasapo ko na lang ang noo ko nang dahil sa kabaliwan na naman na sumasagi sa isip ko. Tama na, Altair. Mukha ka nang tanga, malabo ka namang magustuhan ng tao. Hindi niya nga magawang iwan kahit saktan na siya, eh.
