Chapter 222 – After Dinner
"What? Are you kidding ? You know I hate attending those kinds of events. Besides, no one knows I have DID, right? Why do I have to go there?" Jayden said, annoyed.
"Yes. But isn't it about ti you start accepting your illness and continue with your therapy? We don't know when you will have another attack. Rember, a traumatic event could trigger it. And you just had one."
Jayden sighed. I knew he didn't like to appear in public, much more talk about his illness.
"When was the last ti you had an episode? " Kyle asked.
"When we talked to Peggy's father." Jayden answered.
"And that's what? Three or four months ago? Jayden, I know this is hard for you, but think about Margaret and Caden. Are you really sure your other self didn't want to avenge your mother's death anymore? Do you rember what happened the other day when Aaron told us about what he saw? About the tattoo?" Kyle continued.
Luke and Alora glanced at each other. I asked the servants to take the kids since the conversation got serious.
"Caden, sweetie, go to your room. And Alira, sleep early. No more talking and playing. You have an engagent tomorrow." I said in a firm tone.
Caden and Alira nodded. I looked at the kids as they walked out of the dining hall. Ti flies so fast tomorrow Caden will be engaged. I thought to myself.
I turned to Alora. I knew she had sothing to say or ask about what Kyle had ntioned.
"What is it?" I asked.
"What tattoo are you talking about?" She asked.
I glanced at Kyle so he would be the one to tell them.
"Aaron told us that one of Benjamin's lackeys has a tattoo in his hand, a skull with a knife pierced in the middle. " Kyle answered.
Alora's aura changed. I could feel a sudden chill in my whole body. She had already switched to another personality when I looked at her again. But it wasn't Camila. This woman's character was darker and creepier than Camila's.
"Alora?" I called.
Then I turned to Nina and Sophie; they were quiet and didn't say anything. It was the sa reaction with the rest of my friends, even Jayden. Am I the only one who never t this woman?
I stood up and was about to reach Alora's hand when Jayden suddenly grabbed my wrist. I looked at him, confused.
"Don't." He whispered.
But then, we were surprised when Alora suddenly stood up, holding a knife. Jayden pulled away from Alora, and my eyes widened when I felt that sothing was off.
Alora smirked. "We et again."
I tilted my head up and saw Jayden's face. He has a dark expression on his face. I frowned. I couldn't understand what was happening. And why would Alora say sothing like that?
"I told you, if you ever showed up again, I would not hesitate the second ti. " Jayden said with gritted teeth.
"It's the sa for , Mr.Richards." Alora answered in a cold tone.
I looked around. Kyle and Emily were just sitting in their seats, watching. It was the sa with the others. What the hell is going on?
Then I saw Luke walked towards Alora, grabbed her hand, then pulled her closer to him. I thought he would kiss or hug her, but to my surprise, Luke pushed her on the table, pinning her down.
"Stop it! Would you like to get mad at you?" Luke almost yelled.
Alora's expression suddenly changed, then Luke leaned forward and kissed her.
I looked at Jayden and called him. "Love?"
He sighed, then his expression went back to normal.
"What just happened?" I asked, confused.
No one answered. I felt a throbbing pain in my head, but most of it was because no one was willing to tell what was going on.
"Can anyone tell what happened, or I swear I will never talk to any of you again!" I almost yelled.
"Sit down, and all of you calm down! Alora, that was not necessary, and you too, Jayden. You can't control it, so don't tell again that you wouldn't need therapy." Kyle was using his authority as the King this ti.
Luke may be the wealthiest of all, but in Flousia, Kyle had the highest authority.
We got back to our seats while waiting for them to tell what had just happened.
"Alora has a lot of personalities inside her. They were created when you were gone. Most of them were dangerous. They could hurt people. Luke and her kids could control her since their family. But Jayden could actually fight with them." Kyle started.
I frowned. "What? Is this so kind of battle between two people with a ntal disorder?"
Jayden glared at , and I knew he was offended.
"I'm sorry, love. I was confused, and why the hell did no one tell about this? How could you possibly fight Alora's demons." I asked, annoyed.
Demons. That's what we call Alora's other personality. Camila was the coldest bitch among them, but Alora was already suffering from continuous episodes before I left them years ago.
"Jayden's ntal disorder was not so different from Alora. It just so happened that he only had five inside him, while Alora had hundreds of them." Kyle continued.
"F-Five? But you said there was only one. And your mother, so that's two. Now you're telling there's three more?" I asked, starting to get hysterical.
Kyle stared at before answering my question again.
"Margaret, I was the one who asked Jayden not to tell you about it. You already had a lot of things to worry about ever since you ca back. I felt like it wasn't the right ti back then. So I hope that you won't bla Jayden for this."
I pouted. I was mad because I felt left out, but I wasn't angry with any of them.
I sighed then held Jayden's hand. He looked at , surprised. I know he thought I wouldn't talk to him and would stay mad at him, but I didn't feel like that. I understand that his illness wasn't that easy to accept.
"I'm not mad. But I still need an explanation of what happened between the two of you." I asked, looking at Jayden then Alora.
"Jayden almost killed Alora.." Emily was the one who answered.
