SomeoneSomeone's pov A playful smirk drew on my lips as I saw one of my disciple men walking in from the door of my territory."What's up? Are you doing well keeping Ciara's life out of Tyron's hand? Your face saying it all, what happened? "I asked him when he was finally able to get closer to where I was. I looked at his face for a moment when the excitement was so visible from his eyes.She's doing fine, right? Ciara's fine."They're doing fine. I guess? Mukhang nagpapatayan na sila, eh. "He replied with a smirk on his face, unconsciously, I immediately hit him which surprised him."Tarantado, anong sinabi mo?!" I exclaimed. Ears couldn't believe what I heard from him, a shock was trace all over my face because that's not the news I expected him to bring to me."Aray! Gago naman, para saan 'yun? Problema mo? Bigla-bigla ka na lang nanghahampas diyan?" He complained as his eyebrow furrowed. Lips loosen up due to shock but I just glared at him."Stupid! Nakinig ka ba talaga sa mga si
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
Ciara's povNasa posa park kami ngayon ni Hannah at kumakain ng mga street foods, nasa park kami na katabi lang ng seaside. Hindi ko nga alam na may ganito pa lang lugar dito, ngayon lang din kasi ako nakalabas nang hindi hospital ang napupuntahan. Hindi niya rin muna ino-open ang topic tungkol sa amin ni Tyron dahil gusto niya daw na mag-unwind muna ang utak ko. "Alam mo bang ito 'yung madalas na gawin ko kapag mag-isa lang ako?" Sambit ni Hannah, sa ngayon ay nakaupo kami sa malalaking bato, nakamasid sa karagatan, nilalanghap ang sariwang hangin habang pinanonood ang bawat paghampas ng maliliit na alon. This is so calming.. and welcoming. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na panoorin ang bawat paghampas ng tubig sa karagatan. Nagugustuhan ko na rin ang tunog na binubuo nito, nakakagaan ng damdamin. It felts like a home.."Sa tuwing may problema ako at gusto kong ilabas lahat ng hinanakit ko, dito ako pumupunta. Hunahayaan na agusin ng dagat ang lahat ng sama na ng loob ko," pagkukwento ni
Ciara's pov 'Kring! Kring! Kring!' Pareho kaming napalingon ni Hannah sa phone ko nang mag-ring ito habang na sa byahe kami pauwi. Tahimik lang kaming dalawa kanina, dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nawala sa isip ko lahat ng sinabi sa akin ni Hannah tungkol sa magulang niya. I didn't know na wala na siyang parents. Ramdam ko ang sobrang pagsisisi, dahil hindi ko naisip na wala na pala siyang magulang na pwede niyang sandalan noon, nagawa ko pang agawin sa kanya ang nag-iisang taong mahal niya. Saglit ko namang kinuha ang phone ko at tinignan pa ang numero non, hindi sa akin pamilyar kung kaninong number 'yun dahil unknown din naman ang pangalan ng caller, but still sinagot ko pa rin. "Hello?" Hindi ko pa man natatanong kung sino ito ay nagulat na ako sa lakas at tinis ng boses nito. "Espren!!" Nalayo ko agad ang cellphone ko mula sa tainga ko nang halos dumagundong ang boses nito sa buong sistema ko. What the heck? Sino ba 'to? Kunot noo ko pang tinignan si Hannah na mukhan
Tyron's pov "Shit, stop it! Fuck, ano ba?!" Iritang d***g ko, habang iniilagan ang mga hampas ni Jennifer sa akin.Tss, bumalik na pala ang isang 'to, para ano? Manggulo din?"Walang hiya ka, Tyron! Anong ginawa mo kay Ara?! Kakarating ko lang tapos ito ang maabutan ko?! Kaya pala parang ayaw niya akong papuntahin dito dahil ganyan ang ginagawa mo sa kanya! Bakit, Tyron? Anong nangyari sa'yo at nagkaganyan ka?! Asan na 'yung utak mo! Tinuringan kang gwapo, pero 'yung utak mo na sa talampakan!" Sigaw nito sa akin. Napasinghal na lamang ako."Pwede ba, put your fucking bag away from me?! You haven't even change. Ang ingay ingay mo pa rin hanggang ngayon." Naiiritang saad ko dito at tinalikuran."Aba, bastos ka rin pala! Ano, Tyron? Wala ka na bang konsensya? Wala ka man lang gagawin, ha?! Papabayaan mo na lang si Ara na ganyan? Paano kung mamatay 'yan sa mga kagagawan mo?! Tangina mo, Tyron! Ang laki laki nang pinagbago mo, hindi na ikaw ang Tyron na kilala ko noon. Pero isa lang ang si
