From what I gather, Shae did care for Tyrion.... but she wanted to be with him.
However, Tyrion, as hand of the king, had to reside in the tower of the hand... and Shae, as Tyrion's whore, could not.
So Tyrion set her up as best he could... in the books, she stays at a nice house, alone and without seeing Tyrion for days at a time; in the show she becomes Sansa's maid, also not seeing Tyrion for days.
With that, she feels abandoned, I guess... And refuses to go even further away from Tyrion when he asks her (because Joff died and stuff)... and then she ends up in court, testifying against Tyrion... perhaps with a few incentives from Tywin...
I guess it was this betrayal that made Tyrion kill her.
Back to book world.
On the subject of Tysha, just prior to his release, Jaime tells Tyrion that Tysha was not a whore and that she really loved Tyrion. Tyrion then sidetracks to meet his father and ask him where he can find Tysha. He just says something like "how should I know? She's probably where whores go."
So Tyrion doesn't like it that his dad called his once truly loving wife a whore and then it happens just like in the book, a crossbow shot in the chest... and it turns out Tywin Lannister does not shit gold.
And, on the way to meet Daenerys, Tyrion is also trying to find Tysha... wherever whores go... which lands him on a brothel in Volantis... and Jorah Mormont finds him and takes him... errr... to see Daenerys, as a gift of repentance.
On the book, we see the kidnapping from Tyrion's point of view, so we don't know who is taking him, we just know he's a westeros man. It's one of those things that come off really well in book format, but can't work on the screen.
