Third Person's POV

"I need your help but Tiana needs it more. She's in serious danger." Ciara said and that got Tyler's attention. He faced her fully, thinking the worst has happened.

"What do you mean? What happened to Tiana, where is she?!" He snapped, standing up on his feet so abruptly, it scared Ciara and everyone on the table.

"Hey man, calm." Joel held his hand, then looked at Ciara. "Ciara, what is going on?" He asked.

"Tiana is in serious problem. King is hurting her so bad and I can't take it anymore. I just had to voice out." She said. Tyler's fist clenched and he felt my blood getting hotter. He was mad.

He will pay!

"Why do you suddenly care? Wasn't this your plan the whole time?" Ada snapped at Ciara.

"It was an harmless plan to make sure Tiana never experienced something I didn't experience. It was stupid, I know but I was bitter. She was getting the life she so deserved, a life I never had and I got bitter. I thought a collaboration with King would get her back to her senses. I never wanted to hurt her. She's my sister. I had no idea King had other plans." Ciara said.

"What do you mean?" Tyler growled out at her. She sighed looking down. He braced myself for what he was about to hear.

"King tortures her every day, he does terrible things to her..." Ciara trailed off and everyone looked at Tyler. He was red. His veins were popping out of this body.

"Tyler..." Kelvin called, trying to tell him to calm down.

"What kind of torture?" He asked through gritted teeth. Ciara was hesitant and that seemed to piss him off the more.

"Tyler, you have gotta..." Lyla started.

"Shut the fück up!" He snapped at her, shutting her up immediately and faced Ciara. He trapped her wrist and began to twist it, causing Ciara to groan in agony."I asked you a question and you had better answer me or you won't like what I'm gonna do to you." He growled out.

"He hits her...and rapes her, everyday and injects drugs into her system." Ciara cried out of pain. Tyler dropped Ciara's hand so abruptly and stepped back, shocked and pissed off all at once.

That bastard is touching the love of my life?!

"What?!" It came out in a whisper from his mouth.

"Oh my God!" Zaria clasped her hand over her mouth. Joel knew immediately that Ciara's revelation triggered something so he pulled her to himself for a hug, stroking her hair and whispering some things to her.

"This is bad. We've gotta do something." Charles said.

"I can't wait anymore." Tyler said, grabbed his phone on the table and began to run. Everyone new where he was headed to.

"Tyler! Stop!" Charles screamed trying to catch up with him but Tyler had gone.

"Fück!" Kelvin cussed.

"He's going to get himself killed." Ciara said.

"Stating the obvious now are we?!" Lyla snapped at her. She ran her fingers through her hair. "We have gotta do something, ASAP!" She added.

"I'm already putting a call through to my sister." Zaria said.

"I'll call my dad. He can get us through to the commissioner of police. We need to get them here now. It's time we tell our parents, it's the only shot we've got. We don't have much time left. " Ada told them.

"Ciara, try getting your parents down here. It's urgent." Joel said and Ciara nodded.

"Someone should please put a call over to Tyler's dad. Tyler is the only one he has got. He will do anything to get his son." Joel told them.

"One slip off and our friends are dead." He added.

It was already dark by the time Tyler got to Tiana's house. He wasn't going to think. He will just do.

"King! I know you are in there! Come out!! I swear to God I'll kill you!" Tyler screamed. Tiana heard his voice from inside

"Tyler!!" She screamed but King slapped her, shutting her screams into sobs.

"Shut up, you slut. You seem to forget that this walls are sound proof. Seems like lover couldn't stay away even after he was warned. So sad." King tasked and gave an evil smirk. Tiana looked up, weak. Her hair was all over the place and she had lost weight. Her body was bruised by beatings from King and his boys.

"Please you have me. Don't hurt him." She pleaded.

"I said, shut the fück up." He growled at her, then his lips turned into a sinister smile. "I'm very sure he would be happy to see you." He said. Tiana shuddered. King signaled to two of the guys out of four to go get Tyler in, though also "teaching him a lesson" while at it.

Tyler hit the gate severally, screaming on top of his voice. Suddenly two hands came from no where and pushed him, sending him tumbling in the floor. He flinched as his elbow scratched the floor painfully. He got up and fasted the two guys. They were about his height and age but they were much more built.

"So King decided to send thugs to come get me because he can't fight me all on his own. How nice..."

His statement was cut short when a fist collided with his face, immediately breaking his nose. Tyler growled in pain, loosing his balance. Another hand held him in place as the first hand that punched him kept hitting him, each one harder than the last. Tyler groaned in pain as fists met him in different areas of his body. Soon it felt like he was going to pass out but he struggled to stay awake.

Tyler's POV

They dragged my limp body into the house. Every bone in my face seemed to have broken because I felt nothing but pain all over. The two guys held me on either side and secured me so I wouldn't escape. Why would I even want to escape? I was in no position to do so.

I heard steps descending the building and I looked up to see King coming down, with that sinister smile playing on his lips. It annoyed me even further I wanted to punch it off. My eyes lifted further and I saw two other guys, dragging a struggling Tiana downstairs. My eyes widened.

Tiana!

I struggled to be free from the ones who held me down but to no avail. I was too weak.

"Easy now, pretty boy. I wouldn't do that if I were you." King's voice filled my head and I turned to him glaring at him murderously.

"You knew you couldn't deal with me yourself like the coward that you are so you decided to send these fools to do your dirty job for you. How cliché." I replied sarcastically. My gaze shifting to Tiana who looked really weak, my heart softened.

"Shut up!" King growled. "Hard guy Hard guy, they still beat you blue black. I told you I'd be back for you. After forming muscle, you are back in my trap." King chuckled but it wasn't pretty. I maintained a straight face.

"Go fück yourself." I simply replied him. He chuckled for a few seconds before turning around and giving me a dirt blow and succeeded in re - bursting my already bursted lip, earning a scream from Tiana.

Ouch!

"Tyler!" She screamed. My heart melted again. I spat the excess blood out of my mouth and I raised my head to look at her, smiling at her.

"I'm okay, don't worry about me. I'm going to get you out of here,I promise" I assured her and she nodded, tears spilling from her eyes. I hated when she cried. It broke my heart.

"How beautiful and romantic." King said, his voice laced with disgust. "Both of you ain't leaving this place. If I go down, you are both going down with me." He walked up to Tiana and traced his fingers on her skin, making me mad with anger, causing me to struggle with the thugs holding me.

"I told you once. If I can't have you, no one else will." He whispered in her ear and kissed her earlobe, his fingers all over her body and she struggled to be out of his grip but the thugs' grip tightened. My blood boiled one thousand degrees hotter as I watched his hands roam around her body, and she squirming.

"I swear to God..." I growled out, catching King's attention. "You will regret laying a finger on her."

"Take him away." He instructed the thugs and they dragged me away, Tiana screaming my name from behind. They locked me up in a dark room. I sighed in pain as I leaned against the wall.

What do I do, God. Help me here.

****

It was already 11:00pm according to the time on the wall clock of the room I was in. The only light that illuminated the room was the moon from the window. I tried escaping through the window but it was breakable. Then I resulted into praying. I was praying silently for help to come when the door suddenly jerked open and Tiana was thrown in by a thug.

"You have 10 minutes." He growled the shut the door.

"Tiana." I called and she came closer to me. She began to stroke my face. Her fingers on my skin began to sooth the pain I was feeling.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry." She chocked out and my heart broke. I took her in my arms, signing in contempt at the satisfaction I was getting from having her in my arms.

"Shhh... It's okay. It's not your fault." I whispered to her, stroking her body. She sat up and touched her forehead to mine, holding my face in her hands. I sighed again.

"You shouldn't have come. You are gonna get yourself hurt. I can't bear to see you hurt..." She trailed off.

"Hey..." I silenced her, cradling her face in my palm as well. "At least I get to see you right. I just had to make sure you were okay. He's torturing you and I can't be out there and you are in here suffering. I swore I would always protect you and I will..." I nuzzled my nose with hers slowly, our lips inches apart.

"Ty..." She whispered and that was all the encouragement I needed. I leaned in completely and pressed my lips to hers slowly.

God. I love you, Tiana.

I moved my lips against hers slowly, savouring the feeling of her lips against mine. We were taking our time to savour the feeling of our lips against the other. I slowly slipped my tongue into her mouth, tugging on her lower lip sensually, earning a low moan from her. She sighed as I pulled back, kissing her nose and then her fore head then coming back to leaning my forehead against hers.

"I'll get us out of this. I promise." I whispered, caressing her cheek with my thumb.

"I trust you." She whispered back.

Suddenly we heard sirens blaring, becoming louder as it came closer and from the lights they stopped in front of the house. I looked at Tiana and she was looking at me. The sirens stopped blaring but the blue and red light kept shining which meant the police. Suddenly, a voice came from the megaphone.

"This is the Nigerian Police. We know there are hostages in this house. We have the house surrounded so there is no place to escape. Come out and surrender now or we will be forced to come in and use force." The police announced.

"We are going to be free?!" Tiana asked, laughing and crying at the same time. I laughed along with her.

"Yes we are baby girl." I gathered her in my arms. Suddenly the door jerked open.

"No you are not!" King growled, pointing a gun at us.
