2023-01-16 18:16:37"I think it's better if the kids decide for themselves. So that they can be ready." Mr. Hilvano suggested while smiling as he took a glance at me. My lips loosened.
'Child? Who? Was he referring to me?
"Son, you should talk to your fiance." Dad turned to me and that made me frown at him.
"What? Fiancee?" I clarified, I think I just misheard. We couldn't get married. I'm about to get married to someone else.
"Yes, fiancee. Ms. Hilvano who will be your wife."
W-what ?! We're the ones who will get married?!
I immediately got up from my seat because of shock, I can even feel my arm turning into a fist because of disbelief
"Dad, no! Why are we getting married? How come you agree with this? You even know that I have a girlfriend and I was about to propose to her today, Dad! I love someone else and I don't want to marry her-"
"Break up with her, then." I was frozen in where I was standing when dad blurted it out without hesitating. My mouth parted slightly because I couldn't believe Dad's answer.
Break up with Hannah?! Break up with my fucking future wife?! What the hell?! Is he insane?! He wanted me to have a break up with Hannah who I had worked so hard to get for almost five years? And now that we are about to get married, will he suddenly tie me to someone else? And worst to someone, I don't even fucking know and love!
What the hell! This isn't happening! Someone please fucking wake me up if this is just a nightmare!
'No way!'
"No, I'm not going to marry anyone else. No wedding will happen between us. I'm done!" I exclaimed angrily and then walked away.
Fuck it. I feel like the world was being too cruel to me and this feeling was just too heavy for me to manage. I could even feel the anger in my chest as well as the formation of tears from the corner of my eye.
Damn it! What on earth is happening ?!
I can't believe this. I didn’t think this was Dad’s plan! I thought he was willing to help me with my proposal to Hannah? Then suddenly, he'll do this? Fuck.
I heard Dad say goodbye to those he was talking to before following me. I immediately got in the car and clenched my fists. This can not be!
"Tyron!" Dad calls me.
I knew he was angry because I was able to embarrass him in front of his business associates.
"Dad, look! I don't want to marry her, please, respect my decision! You know that today I was planning to propose to Hannah, don't you?" I asked in frustration. I'm frustrated, why does this have to happen? What did I do to make myself suffer like this?
I just want to propose to the woman I love, but why did it suddenly go like this? Isn't it too unfair?
"Yes-"
"Then, what's this?"
"You don't understand, Tyron."
"Then make it clear, Dad! I don't understand! What's this all about ?!" I'm damn frustrated and I don't know what to do anymore.
He sighed for a moment and averted his eyes. "Our company is going bankrupt" He replied, causing my shoulders to drop.
"What? How? When did that happen? How did that happen, Dad? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, getting weakly.
"I... I don't know, I can think and do anything to save our company, Tyron. This is the only choice we have, we need their help so that our company doesn't go bankrupt. You know me, Tyron. I don't ask for help from anyone when I know I can do it, but this one. I need your cooperation, Tyron, please. I... I just decided to have a deal with Hilvano's Company, to survive our company." Dad.
"They agreed that they would help me. But in one condition, you need to marry their daughter. Do you think that I haven't thought of this? Of course, I did, Tyron. So many times, I also think about your proposal to Hannah, but I can't do anything because they are our only hope. ” I sighed.
"How about Hannah, dad? I love her. I can't leave her. This can't be, Dad. I don't want somebody else." Worriedly, I buried my face into my palm.
"I know. I understand, but please .." My shoulder kept falling. I don't want our company to go down, but I also don't want to marry that woman. I don't even know her. I can't leave Hannah either. Damn this life.
"Please, son. This is the only way." I do not know what to do. I need to do something, this can't happen.
That girl, I need to talk to her. I need to convince her to help me stop this arranged marriage. I'll explain everything to her, I know and I can sense that she can help me with this.
END OF FLASHBACK
A bitter smile flashed on my lips as I also remembered how I looked like a fool who several times begged her to help me stop the marriage. That same day, I continued the proposal to Hannah because I hoped that the arranged marriage they had planned would not work out when I marry someone else. But I failed. She still forced her parents to pursue the marriage.
I regret begging in front of her. I regret that I tried to live with her in the first place because I believe that she could not do anything no matter how hard we tried to stop the marriage. But when I found out the truth, I had completely lost my mind. I drowned myself in alcohol with excessive guilt because I believed her.
But I was wrong because she betrayed me. It's her fault. It's all her fault.

Ciara's povI could feel the heavy pain in my body even when my eyes were shut. I felt myself for a moment before I finally opened my eyes. But surprisingly, the pure white on the ceiling was the first thing I saw as I opened my eyes. I can even smell and feel the coldness of the air that was brushing on my skin, probably coming from the aircon. I swallow when I feel the dryness of my throat. All I could hear was my heavy breathing and the noise that was made by the machine beside me. My eyes went around to check the surroundings and realized I was in the hospital. Slowly, my eyes landed on the man who was currently sleeping on the side of my bed. 'Wait, isn't this the Manong Driver?' I immediately sat up from lying down to wake Manong Driver. Unfortunately for him, he definitely couldn't earn any money from driving because of me. I patted his shoulder to wake him up. "Manong, wake up." I was a little surprised when it suddenly stood up and shouted. "Where, where? Where's the fi

The sun was going down so I had to take Hannah home."Hon, you should go home too. Cia's definitely waiting for you to come home," she said. I was about to open my mouth to disobey her when she spoke again."Don't start to argue again, your reasons won't work for me. You've just told me that she already knows about us, that's why we can't be together for so long, Tyron. You should go home, she's probably waiting." Hannah smiled at me and finally, we reached her house. I turned off the engine first and turned her to face her."Don't you really want me to stay here first, even just tonight?" I gave her a soft gaze, hoping that she'll let me stay here tonight because I don't want to go home yet. I don't want to see that woman, I'm too sick of always seeing her as if she's so innocent even though she knows to herself what she did to me and Hannah.I hate her.I heard Hannah sigh."Of course, I want to. I really wanted you to stay here. If only you could just not leave and stay here beside

Someone's pov A playful smirk drew on my lips as I saw one of my disciple men stepping 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 says 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 in his eyes.She's doing fine, right? Ciara's fine."They are fine. I guess? It seems like they're killing each other. "He replied with a smirk on his face, unconsciously, I immediately hit him which surprised him."What did you say?!" I exclaimed. Ears couldn't believe what I heard from him, a shock was traced all over my face because that was not the news I expected him to bring to me."Ah! What's that for?! What's your problem and you're suddenly hitting me?!" He complained as his eyebrow furrowed. My lips loosen up due to shock but I just glared at him."Stupid!

I won't hesitate to leave this house and never turn my back again on 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 bear 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?

Ciara's povWhat 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 m

Ciara's povThe 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. 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 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 hospital. I

Hannah's povPeeking through my window, I followed Tyron's car leaving as I heard him lose my door in the living room. I sighed before closing the curtains and getting out of my bed. He 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 irritation 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 of always hurting Ciara? I really couldn't understand him, I mean, I knew and I was aware of where his anger is coming from but is it right to mistreat his wife just like that? It doesn't seem like Ciara is human in how he treats her, does he forget that she also has feelings? Gosh, I can't believe him.While walking into my living room, my attention pinned down on the sofa, noticing a brown pap

Hannah's pov I left early to go see Ciara. When I arrived at their house, I immediately rang the doorbell, but my brows furrowed when no one came out to open the door for me."Tyron? Hon?" I called, but there was no response. That's why I just opened the gate on my own since it was not locked at all."Hon?" I called out once more, but still, only the deafening silence answered me."Hello, is anybody here?" I shouted again as I walked around but my voice just echoed throughout the house. I just shrugged, where are they?Did they perhaps go somewhere? Did Tyron follow what I said last night to take Ciara to the hospital to have her bruises checked by the doctors? I'm really worried about her physical and mental health, I just hope Tyron already gets to his senses, because once he does, I'll probably be the happiest person.I'm happy with whatever Ty and I have now, but I'd be more at ease if Ciara was in good condition, she deserved everything and not this.

A few days have passed and my head is always heating up, my blood keeps on boiling. I don't know why, but I get annoyed every time I smell Tyron's perfume.But now I couldn't understand myself, I was holding the knife while staring at him. I'm enjoying seeing him being scared of me."Can you just tell me what you want? Stop pointing it at me," he complained, which made my blood heat up even more because I just heard his voice."Are you complaining?""N-no, I was just telling you to put it down, wife, and tell me what you want me to buy..." he answered calmly, but I just glared at him."Buy me a mango," I said when I suddenly felt myself craving sourness."Is that all?""But I want the boneless one, but something raw, but I want it sweet," I explained the taste that my stomach wanted now. After I said that, his two eyebrows almost furrowed."What?! Is that even existing? Raw mango without seeds, then you want it sweet? Sweet but raw? Are you kidding me?" My eyebrows rose because he kee

A smile that makes my knees weaken, even more, the smile that I thought I would never see in my life or even once in my life ever again, will unexpectedly be seen by my two eyes exactly on this day. It was as if my heart was pounding as he stepped closer to me.Tyron..."Can I take the hand of your daughter, sir?" He politely asked my daddy, while I still couldn't take my eyes off him."Here, she's all yours now. Take care of her, I'm trusting her to you, don't fail me," dad gave my hand to him."Thank you, sir." He smiled and gently accepted my hand. And the moment he held my hand and I felt his warm skin on me, that's when reality hit me.H-he's alive."Y-you're dead.. h-how—" I cried to him, but he cut me off."Shh."
