One-sidedCiara's povWala akong ganang umakyat patungo sa kuwarto ko after I heard their conversation. If only my heart could allow me to leave him, I'll do it right away. I won't hesitate to leave this house and never turn my back again to him. I want to unlove him, but there's no such thing. It's so hard that I just want to die to stop myself from struggling.But it was my heart that kept stopping me from leaving him. My heart wanted me to stay here and bare all the pain I was experiencing. It's toxic, I know. But what could you do if you loved someone so much that you wanted to take everything at risk just to be with him?Am I the only one who's like this? Or does someone understand how I feel? It's hard and I felt so sorry for the person who has the same situation as me.I let my body fall on the bed and did not complain to the pain when I finally felt them as I let my body rest. I didn't mind those wounds and bruises on my body that were aching.May mas sasakit pa ba sa mga katot

Trigger Warning: disturbing content, violence 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

Ciara's pov The first thing I became aware of was a steady beeping sound. The second thing was an intense and overwhelming feeling that was consuming my body. There was a constant throbbing in my head that matched the rhythm of my heartbeat and the mechanical beeping echoing around me. A sharp and heavy pain in my chest made it hard to breathe. My eyes were closed and I didn't want to open them because of the fear that I might be here again. In the place I hate the most. As I slowly opened my eyes, I blinked a few times to clear the blurry vision in my eyes. I scanned the room to orient myself and forced a smile when I realized I really was. The beeping sound was coming from a large, gray machine beside me. It took a moment for me to realize that I was connected to the machine through the various tubes sticking out of my arm. My arms and legs were cold despite being covered by a thick and soft blanket. There was the unmistakable smell of sterile equipment that was found only in a ho

Hannah's pov Peeking through my window, I followed Tyron's car leaving as I heard him close my door in the living room. I sighed before closing the curtains and getting out of my bed. He really doesn't care about Ciara, doesn't he? I'm so disappointed right now and I don't know if what I acted towards him earlier was right. But I was so upset that I wanted to yell at him to wake him up from his anger towards Ciara but I couldn't, so I just chose to stay silent and let him feel my anger by not talking to him and leaving him there alone. His pride was so high and I couldn't take it. Isn't he tired na palagi na lang sinasaktan si Cia? I really couldn't get understand him, I mean, knew and I was aware where his anger is coming from but is it right to mistreat his wife just like that? Parang hindi tao si Ciara kung itrato niya, nakakalimutan niya bang may pakiramdam 'yun dahil tao 'yun? Gosh, I can't believe him. While walking in my living room, my attention pinned down on the sofa, no
