My eyes widened, realizing that the man who told me he loved me was also the person who took everything away from me. My family, my purity, my childhood, and my dignity were all taken away from me since the moment I was born into this damned world. He manipulated the story that I've believed for such a long time only to use me for his own pleasure. He ended the life I could've lived.

He took my life away in one single night.

"Why did you do it, Alex?! Why?!"

I turned around to face him as he shook his head in response, smirking to himself.

"Why did you ruin my life?! You took everything away from me! Why did you want to do that to them?! Why did you want to do this to me?!"

I yelled at his face, standing up as I wrapped both of my palms around his neck in anger.

"What do you want to gain from ruining my whole existence?! What did you gain from it?!"

My voice echoed around the empty room as I later pushed him away with all of my strength, running my fingers through my hair furiously. I couldn't even look at him without having the urge to just fucking throw the table at him. So, I picked up the perfectly placed plates around the table, staring at it for a bit before throwing every single porcelain plate at him. I later continued to throw the wine glasses at him but it did almost nothing to stop him from walking towards me, taking all of the utensils away from my hands. He cups my face with both of his hands, later pressing his lips against mine.

He was crying all over me. His apologies were too fucking late.

And I would never think of forgiving him.

"I'm so sorry, Taeyong-"
"No, fucking stay away from me! Stay away! Fucking get away from me!"

His hand was later pressed against my mouth, stopping me from yelling even more words that I wanted to scream out since the night he did those things to me for the first time. Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard as the officers finally showed up in front of Alex. They point their rifles at him as more of Alex's men showed up to the same dining room.

I struggled to breathe and break free from his restraints once again.

"Alejandro Diaz, stay down and let him go."

Officer Kim says as the demon chuckles in response, leaving his men with the officers to finish them off. I started to hit him with a few punches or slaps but nothing was strong enough. His grasp around me was too tight and I wasn't able to see well because there wasn't that much light around me.

And it all started to kick in... The fear was starting to kick in.

My fear of it happening all over again.

"Let me fucking go, you piece of shit!-"
"Shush, my Prince. You'd be safe and sound in no time."

I knew that the end of my life was coming near me as I stopped trying to escape his hold, letting him drag me anywhere he went. I didn't know if I should ever fight back, not knowing what will happen next. All of my efforts to heal from those years of pain were just useless from now on. It felt like the universe only wanted me to feel love in the right way.

Now, I'm leaving that same love interest because I can't fight for my life anymore.

Alex points the end of the pistol against my head while he walks his way somewhere. The worst feeling that I've felt was that half of me still believed that I'd stay longer here... but all of these things happening right now didn't deliver the same message.
