'...'- Thinking

"..."- Talking

It's been 7 years since your parents died due to car crash. Hiro was 11 years and you're 8 years old when it happened. Hiro was the one who drop out off school to make a living for the two of you. He went to being a delivery boy to being a cook, then the age of 18 years old, he own a restaurant.

He went through challenges to bring you to a nice school. He is protective of you, you were his light. You are the one who make him feel alive, you are his motivation. He'll make sure to give you whatever you want, and he'll do anything to keep you safe.

Hiro was making breakfast for the both of you while you're sleeping. When he's finish, he went to your room and he saw you on the floor, snoring like a pig. He facepalm while trying not to laugh. He took his phone, taking a picture of you in that position.

"Lil sis, it's time to wake up~" He tap your shoulder, shaking it lightly.

"Five more minutes..." You said while snoring. He continue to shake your shoulder but faster. "If you don't wake up, I'll eat your portion~" He whispered, threatening a food lover.

"I'M UP, I'M UP!" You bolted out, running towards the bathroom to take a bath. "DON'T EAT MY FOOD, NII-SAN!" You shouted from the bathroom.

He laughs "Make sure to clean your bed after!" You shouted 'yes' as he return to the kitchen. After 20 minutes, you came down with your uniform on, bag hang on your right shoulder.

"Thank you for the food!" You said unison.

After some minutes, you drink your water and ready to go. "Am going to school now nii-san" You smiled.

"Be careful on your way lil sis. Here's your lunch" You saw a bento box on his hand, getting it then place a kiss on his cheeks. He pats your head "Study well and always remember, No boyfriend" He said strictly and firmly.

"Yessir" You stick out your tongue while leaving the house.

Your POV:

My school was not far away from home so I just walk there. There's still 20 minutes before the start of the class so I have time to get to class early.

I am just an ordinary student, had good grades, good at sports but doesn't had any friends (I'm introverted). I'm like a shadow, no one notice me and they treated me like air but a group of students like to mess with me... They treated me like a servant, commanding me to do this and that. I can't do anything because they're popular and rich. (**** rich people)

My thoughts were stop as I bumped into someone....

"Watch were you're going b*tch!" Millie shouted as she kick me on the stomach as girls around her laugh. She is the leader of 'her' gang that loves to toy me.

She pull the lace of my i.d. hard that my ballpen hang on it fled.

"Look what you've done to my dress! It's wet because of you!" She said angrily as she slap me. I didn't answer as I focus at the ballpen. That ballpen was special to me, my brother gave it to me when I was 10 years old. (It's refillable)

It motivates me to study hard and made it a reminder to myself that I need to bring back the things he do for me and I will return it proudly.

I grab it gently as I hold it protectively. Millie then throw her wet shirt on my face. "You clean it then give it to me after school or I'll beat you" She glared at me then kick my stomach again before she left with her 'gang.'

I stood up, getting ready to wash her uniform. I didn't fight back to avoid trouble. I can finish the work before the start of the class, I still have time... I immediately go to the bathroom to wash it off.

Hiro's POV:

After my little sister left the house. I begin to wash the dishes as I getting ready to work. I always protect her from everything. I don't know why people loves to hurt her. She is just a girl who loves to stay on the sideways, minding her own business. But why the **** her.

I growl furiously as I remember the bullies in the past. She is just a sweet little girl who protected a kitty from three boys who's hurting the kitty.

I remember crushing their limbs one by one that they've to stay bedridden within a month. She didn't know what happened to them and shall never know it ever. I'll protect her from the shadows. I'll do anything for my sister... anything.

I turn on my phone, scrolling to an app that can see the camera of the pen that I gave my sister when she's 10 years old.

It was a refillable camera pen. She doesn't know that it has a hidden camera in it. She doesn't need to know it... It was all for her own good.

I saw something that my mind wants to explode. A ******* girl hurting my precious little sister.... My eyes darkened as I grip my phone hard that the screen crack a bit.

I clench my teeth at the thought of how should I punish this girl.... I begin to search her background as I think of things I would do to her and her family... I smirk

I'll make her regret it, hurting my precious little gem....

3rd POV

The school ended like a flash. Students are getting ready to go home. You on the other hand, getting ready to bring back the uniform and getting ready to get hurt once again.

It's always been like this so you're used to it already. You didn't say this to your brother because you don't want him to worry about you as he did everything for you. You don't want to cause him any more trouble.

You walk towards a room that Milie and her gang always stayed after class. You give her the uniform as she snatch it and begin to bet you with her gang.

It's been 3 minutes of beating, they left you on the floor full of bruises. You try to stand up but failed. 'Looks like I need to stay like this for a while' You sighed.

Your POV:

After that beating, I'm exhausted. They beat me quite rough today.... I sighed mentally. I really need to cover this bruises up, luckily I brought a hoodie with me.

After some minutes I can control my body. I stoop up, stretching my body side to side.

"Damn, I need to go home before nii-san does." I covered my bruises with foundation, lucky me they didn't hit my face.. less hassle to deal with.

After putting some foundation and putting my hoodie, I immediately go back home.

Damn I'm lucky, my brother isn't home yet. I launched myself on the couch, let out a frustrating whine.

"I can't do it anymore, I want it to stop please, make it stop.." My tears begin to form. It's so hard but I need to be strong... I need to cope with it until I graduate... Just one more year... "Bare with it Y/n..." I muttered it quietly as my tears flow down my face.

I wipe it immediately as I calm myself down.

I sigh loudly as I walk towards my bedroom to change.

3rd POV:

After you changed your uniform, you wear a hoodie and a jogging pants to cover your bruises. You sat down at your study chair, starting to do your homework.

On the other side, Hiro also finished with his job as he leave the rest to the manager of his restaurant. He was getting ready to his 'date'He went to his car, driving to a fancy restaurant. When he go inside, he see a girl with a revealing dress muttering to himself 'disgusting' as he walk towards the girl.

Hiro's POV:

"Hello there m'lady. I'm apologize for being late" I cringe at my words as I smiled at her forcefully.

"It's quite alright, handsome" the girl replied seductively and I ******* cringe. I want to ruined that voice....

I smile again "let's order shall we? My treat~." She blushes and nodded lightly like a ***** she was. I can't wait to end this shit up.

After we eat and talk (specially with her disgusting seducing shit) I invite her to a hotel that my friend owns. When we got in to a room. I offer her some wine and she gladly take it. She drink it without hesitation before passing out within a minute. What an obedient little *****.

Someone opens the door revealing the owner of the hotel. "Looks like someone's gonna be dead in my hotel again" he sighed loudly as I roll my eyes.

"Deal with it"

"Yes yes"

"By the way, what did she do to deserve it?" He ask

"She deserve it for hurting my sister" I walk towards him, grabbing the rope and knife on his hand.

"Welp- sister of course. Why did I even ask" He dramatically shrug.

"Then don't ask ever again" After I said that I heard him say 'what a sister con you are" I just ignore his sentence as I tie the girl's body on the bed.

"It's gonna be a long night" My friend whisper. "Deal with it Grell" "yeah yeah, have fun killing her" He said while walking out of the room.

"Oh I will~" I smirk dangerously.

3rd POV:

You finish your school works but you notice that your brother didn't arrived yet. 'I think he had a overnight' You shrugged it off then go in the kitchen to cook dinner.

Two hours passed and he still didn't arrive. You begin to worry that you called his number.

Ring.... Ring.... Ring.... Click

"Hello Nii-san, where are you now? Are you okay? Did something happen to you? Do I need to help you with your work?" You flooded him with questions that he didn't know what to answer first.

"Calm down lil sis, I had a overtime... I'm sorry I forgot to update you... Did you eat already?" He said gently as you sigh in relief.

"I thought something happen to you and yes I've eaten already... What time are you coming back?" You ask.

"I'll be coming around 30 minutes... Just finishing cleaning...." He said slowly. At his background, cries were heard but it didn't reach your ears.

"Okay be safe nii-san! I'll wait for you. I love you!" You smiled brightly.

"Yes yes lil sis, I love you too~" He reply before ending up the call.

3rd POV:

About 25 minutes, your brother arrive and you prepare his dinner. You two chatted before going to bed.

The next day, you were wake up again by threatening to eat your food as you got fooled again. As you go inside the bathroom, you mutter "another day, another bruise" before sighing.

After taking a shower and eating with your brother, you said your goodbye before walking to school.

When you walk in the hallway, you saw people whisperings to each other and looking at their phones. Their faces looks so afraid, you got curious but didn't pry to their topic or whatever.

As you arrive inside your class, students are still whispering and chatting with each other. You just rolled your eyes and go to your table.

Your prof. soon arrive a minute looking afraid too. 'What the hell happen that almost everyone look so afraid' I think as I tsked to myself.

"O-okay class ... Due to the principal's daughter death... The school will have it's suspension for 1 week... Be careful at your way home, that's all. Class dismissed" After your prof said those words, students immediately pack their bags and ready to go back home immediately while you still there shocked by the news.

"What the **** happen to Millie...." As you question that shockingly. You immediately open your phone and the news. You were shock to see her head hang at their house gate.... Her body parts were cut off pieces any pieces as they were thrown around the house... Her heart is on her bed... A note was found saying 'She deserve it. So be careful.... Mostly the students of *** University'

You begin to tremble, shocked by the news and the pictures. It was traumatizing... You immediately went back home, seeing your brother on the couch, watching the news. You drop your bag and cried on his arms.

He pats your back gently saying warm words 'It's gonna be okay' 'Don't worry, I'll protect you my lil sis~' etc etc. But you didn't notice his eyes contains a satisfied look as his lips form a smirk.

"No one will hurt you again my lil gem... never again~"

Your POV:

It's been 8 years since I Iost my eyesight. I already cope being blind but I still hope to bring my eyesight back.

I still remember how he stab my eyes, every night I always dreamed about it. It's still haunting me... My parents and my younger brother always accompany me every night when I sleep. (they took turns)

They always take care of me, I feel like I'm a burden to them... I need to do something so that they don't need to take care of me every single time.

My younger brother was assign to take care of me, he brought a lot of snacks as he tells about his school for the day. I love hearing his story and somewhat crave for that experience too... I suddenly ask my brother.

"Zach for you, can I go to school too... Just like you?" I didn't see his reaction but his response is this "NO! What if they bully you? Hurt you? Then experience something horrible again! I-I don't want them to do that to you big brother!" I heard his voice cracked and sniffles. I immediately hug him, patting his shoulder gently as I wipe his tears.

"Big brother is sorry, Zach. I'm sorry" I said guiltily. He hug me back, placing his head on my shoulder, continuing his cries.

"Pls don't ask about that again big brother. Promise me!" He said loudly. I nodded "Yes yes, I promise" we continue to cuddle until I fall asleep.

Zach POV:

I need to stop telling about my day to brother... I don't want him to be curious about the outside. He doesn't need to experience the outside, I can do it for him. I'll make him satisfy. I won't allow him to leave this house...

As he fall asleep, I place a kiss on his forehead whispering 'goodnight' going back to cuddling him. I held him firmly like a predator that didn't want to let go of his prey.

Never...

3rd POV:

It's been a week since you ask your brother about that and you notice that he stopped talking about his day, you were sad but you think that he did it for your own good.

You were assisted by your butler, both of you walk towards the garden to get some fresh air. At first your parents didn't allow you to go to the garden because of what happen but you beg and they can't resist you.

You stand there closing your eyes, still hoping that someday... Someday you can regain your eyesight...

One day, a miracle happen. You started to see things but still blurry. You and your family were filled with joy as all of yoh shed to tears. The house celebrate, smiles and laughter's were being hear around the house.

As your sight is getting better, your family still take turn to take care of you. Even if you say that you can handle yourself, they scold you by saying 'We can never be sure, we still need to take care of you!' 'there still a threat somewhere, we can never allow that' etc etc. You just sighed mentally.

Your POV:

Weeks passed and my eyesight were healed! I didn't know how but I am still thankful that I can experience the things I've missed to do and want to experience it.

I tried talking to my parents if I can go to school but they rejected it without hesitation. I tried it for many days as they agree on one condition... I need to be in the same class as my younger brother to protect me.

I want to argue because we are 2 years apart... But my parents had a back up words saying that I missed a lot of things to learn and I lost. But on the bright side, I can experience schooling again!

3rd POV:

When your brother heard the news, he rejected the offer and said that you just need to be inside the house, homeschooling in order protect you. But your parents whispered to him something and he agreed sighing.

After a day, you are excited for your first day of school. You can't wait to meet new people and having friends like your brother. You didn't noticed the look of your younger brother.

The both of you were accompanied by your father, as the car started to move, you were fascinated by the places. You missed roaming around. Seeing it again... nostalgic. You feel like crying but it's another day.

Minutes had passed and the car stop. As you walk out of the car, you were fascinated by the view. 'It looks like a ******* mansion, not a school' You cried inside. As you whine through your head your you get brother nudges you and whispered 'father is calling for you.'

You suddenly look at you father and nodded brightly as he said his goodbye and telling you to stay by your brother's side. As he left, you immediately held your brother's hand as you run towards the gate. You heard your brother shouting "be careful, don't run!" But you didn't stop running.

You notice how people stare at your position, mostly at your brother.

Your POV:

'Why are they staring at us? Did we do something wrong, mostly Zach?' I look at my younger brother and whispered "Why are they staring at us like that? Did we do something wrong?" I ask worriedly.

Zach only shook his head saying "Don't mind them, let me show you our class" I nodded, as he lead the way. After a second, they all turn their heads, looking away from us.... So weird

As we get inside the room, students looked at us and surrounded Zach, letting me push away from him. Well I guess he is popular.... Oh so that's why they were looking at us earlier, my baby brother is popular. I let out a imaginary tears. Proud by his achievement.

I just waited for everyone to leave his side but I think it will take a while... Damn, I feel so bad for Zach... You can do it baby brother, bring us a girlfriend/boyfriend soon. I cheered inside as a imaginary light stick is on my hand, swigging it like a crazy fan cheering to his idol.

After a minute the prof shouted and the students immediately went back to their seats. I heard Zach saying thanks to the prof as he pull me to his side.

The prof notice me and smile at me. "you must be the new student. Please introduce yourself to the class" I nodded as I stood in front with Zach beside me.

I feel the glares and jealousy right at me like- chill girls and boys. I'm only his brother, don't y'all see the difference?? I cried mentally. I cough as I calm myself..

"Hello everyone, I'm Y/n Hermes, Zach's older brother. It's nice to meet you all" I smile as I bow lightly. I noticed their glares disappear and begin to whisper with each other. Well.... Is everyone know what happened to me?... I hope not.

"Thank you for the introduction Y/n, you can seat beside your brother" I nodded as he took my head and lead me to our seats. The prof begin to start the lesson.

Dang, I hate studying. I regret going to school... I hate Science.... Pls not physics... I stood up wanting to leave but a hand stop me.

"Where are you going big brother?" Zach ask

"Bathroom"

"I'll come with you-"

"I can handle myself Zach"

"But-" "Please Zach" I put my hands together begging him with puppy eyes (I know its cringe but they can't resist my charm~)

He sighed "okay, make it quick. I'll wait for you here" I immediately nodded and run, leaving the room. I heard his words again "Be careful, Don't run!"But I didn't stop.

2 minutes of searching, I finally found the bathroom... Jeez this place is a maze....

I wash my hands as 4 students surround me.

"Well well, isn't this the blind son" One student said as his friends laugh. I turn off the faucet turning around to face them. "Is there something wrong?" I smiled at them not minding the insult.

"The problem is that your appearance make our girlfriends broke up with us!" One shouted as he push me, hitting my back on the sink. 'It hurts... Damn' I wince. "It isn't my fault though, I didn't even talk to students here yet...." I said firmly as I hold my back, assisting it.

One student grab my hair pulling straight into his face "THAT'S THE ******* POINT! IF YOU HADN'T SHOW UP THEN THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!"After he said that, he throw me to the side.

"Your ******* brother is enough already!" Another voice ring into my ears as he punch my face... Damn because of girls I get this unnecessary pain...

"What if you become blind again... Then you're out" I heard from the student who insult me and laughs loudly. My eyes widend as I begin to tremble. I beg "Please, no no no" I saw them pulling out their knife as they surround me...

Zach POV:

Why he isn't back yet.. This gut feeling.... I must find him! I run off the room, checking every bathroom that this ******* school has. I regret not being by his side.... WHY DID I EVEN ALLOW HIM?! Don't even think to hurt my brother.... Or else.... They are....

This is the last bathroom. I immediately open it...

DEAD.

3rd POV:

Ambulance, police sirens were heard around the school. Four boys were stab on the heart while one boy stabs on both eyes, and his body several times ... And one boy is under arrest.

In the hospital, as parents went there as fast as they could, they immediately command the police station to release their son for 50 million dollars and they oblige.

Your brother cried and ask for their forgiveness as he regrets not to be by your side and getting late to protect you.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry" he cried as he bow his head in front of your parents. Zhoe slaps him out of anger. "I told you to protect you brother! I TRUSTED YOU ZACH!" She shouts "I'm sorry..." He take the slap as a punishment. Your mom hug him "I'm sorry for hitting you.. I'm sorry my baby... I know it's not your fault, I let out my anger on you. I'm sorry" he hug her back and let cried more.

Brian, came back talking to the doctor, seeing the situation. He wanted to cry too but he needs to be strong for them... As he walk towards them he only said... "They will pay."

1 month later, you're in coma, they didn't know how more weeks, months even years for you to wake up. They always take care of you, giving you flowers, placing a kiss on your cheeks, updating about their day, whispering everyday that "they got what they deserve." "We punish them for you, please wake up" etc etc.

They decided that once you woke up, you'll never leave the house, nor step out even just a bit.. no one will never ever remember you exist... they will never do the same mistake again... They'll make sure of it.

3rd POV:

In the kingdom of Syndril, there lived a woman named Y/n, who was unlike any other. She was a transmigrator from another world, having taken over the body of an abandoned empress, a woman who was once powerful and respected but had fallen out of favor with the tyrannical emperor Ozul.

Y/n had no desire to remain married to the tyrant emperor, for he was cruel and heartless. As soon as she realized her situation, she made up her mind to seek a divorce. But the emperor did not take kindly to her request. He refused to let her go, threatening to destroy the entire country if she dared to leave him.

As time went on, Ozul became more possessive and controlling, making Y/n's life a living nightmare. He watched her every move, forbidding her to see anyone else and demanding her complete obedience. She felt trapped, suffocated by the tyrant's hold on her.

Despite her fear, Y/n knew she had to escape. She couldn't bear to spend another moment in the tyrant's presence. One night, she made a desperate attempt to flee, but her efforts were in vain. The emperor's guards caught her and brought her back to the palace.

As punishment for her disobedience, Ozul had her parents brought before her. In a cruel display of power, he ordered their execution right in front of her eyes. Y/n was devastated, her heart shattered into a million pieces.

"Try to escape again my love, people will lost their lives because of you~" He warned her as he forcefully grab her and kiss her.

Terrified and heartbroken, y/n felt she had no choice but to stay with the tyrant. She could not bear the thought of more innocent lives being lost because of her actions. The tyrant's hold on her tightened, his possessiveness turning into a dangerous obsession.

Y/n tried to make the best of her situation, pretending to be the obedient empress the tyrant wanted her to be. But deep down, she longed for freedom, for a life where she could be herself without fear or restrictions.

One day, a mysterious stranger appeared at the palace, offering to help her escape. At first, she was hesitant, unsure if she could trust this person. But as the days passed and the tyrant's hold on her grew stronger, y/n knew she had to take a chance.

With the stranger's help, y/n managed to escape the palace under the cover of night. But before she could reach safety, Ozul's soldiers caught up to her. They dragged her back to the palace, where the tyrant sitting on his throne, awaiting for her return with a cruel smile on his face.

"Trying to escape again, my empress?"

In a fit of rage, he ordered the execution of anyone who had helped y/n escape.

The palace grounds were soaked in blood, the cries of the innocent echoing through the night. She watched in horror, feeling the weight of the deaths on her shoulders.

"This is what you get for disobedience, y/n"

Broken and defeated, y/n knew she had no choice but to stay with the tyrant. She had lost everything she held dear, her family, her freedom, her sense of self. Ozul had succeeded in breaking her spirit, leaving her with no hope of escape.

"That's it my empress, be obedient and lifeless like a doll

.... My lovely doll"

And so, y/n remained by the tyrant's side, a mere shadow of the woman she once was. Her heart was heavy with regret and sorrow, her soul trapped in a cage of the tyrant's making. She had become a prisoner of her own making, forever bound to the tyrant who had destroyed her life.
