Chapter 141 - 139 - Letter
"Is Jayden having an episode?" She suddenly asked.
I sighed a few times before telling them what happened last night.
"Peggy, you know I killed those people because I was in danger. I don't kill because I want to. I don't kill for revenge either. Maybe Jayden had that personality because he was torn between his revenge and his love for you. His other self wanted to hurt you so he could avenge his mother's death, but the real him already gave up on that idea."
"What about his mother? Is she really gone inside him? I liked her better than that guy who wanted to hurt me."
"We can't tell. One of my other selves, Elizabeth, was not really gone. She was like in hybernation but I can still hear her voice sometimes." Alora explained.
"Do you think he would really hurt me?"
"Are you doubting him now?" Nina asked.
"No. I'm not but I'm scared. Not because he might hurt me but I'm scared that he would suddenly switch like what happened to Alora and won't come back." I explained.
"If he couldn't control his other self, there's a possibility that he would switch soon. Just be prepared and trust him. You need to always be there for him." Alora advised.
I sighed just thinking that same thing could happen to him like what's happening with Alora.
"Is there really no cure?" I asked, looking at Alora seriously.
She didn't reply for a moment and was just staring at me. Then he held my hand and smiled.
"Peggy, I know it's hard to accept that Jayden might not be able to get better but believe me, he could live a normal life. Before, it was hard for me, for Luke and for the kids. Especially when the twins were starting to ask about my sudden change of personalities but they are smart. They became my support and my hope. At first, I cursed my life for having this illness but thinking about Luke and my kids made me realize how lucky I am to be alive." She said.
"You're worried. You should ask yourself that question Peggy. Not us." Sophie blurted.
"What question?" I got confused.
"You asked if we think he could hurt you. Ask yourself instead, do you think he could hurt you?" Nina continued.
"No. Because I know he would regret it. He promised that he would never do anything that could hurt me. But if his mind is not stable it might happen. If it happens I don't know if he could take it." I explained.
"Remember the day I accidentally hurt Luke? When I heard a lot of voices in my head at the same time?" Alora asked.
I remember that. Luke left her in their room then we heard her screaming. Me and the girls ran towards the bedroom followed by the boys. When we opened the door, the room was a mess and Alora was naked. The boys didn't go inside since she's naked. Alora was screaming, more on she was talking to herself.
Luke arrived after a few minutes but it's like she didn't recognize him. She was about to throw the vase when Luke tried to stop her, they struggled then the vase broke while Luke got it. He was hurt, his hand has a deep cut. I think they didn't talk for a few weeks after that.
"I regret it when I hurt the man I love but Luke and I didn't give up. I know I was selfish. It was hard for him. Almost every day he was dealing with a different person. You know how many times I tried to break up with him but he won't allow it. He said he would cross hell for me. Peggy, how about you? Are you willing to cross hell for your husband?" Alora asked.
I looked at each of the girls directly in their eyes. They were staring at me, waiting for my answer.
"How about you? Are you?" I asked back, looking at Alora then at Sophie and Nina.
They glanced at each other and answered in unison.
"Yes!"
"Peggy, if you want to help Jayden, never doubt him. It will all start with a doubt." Alora explained.
I frowned. I really couldn't understand DID. I have a lot to learn. Maybe I would also need to call Kyle since he's a psychiatrist.
"Thank you. Somehow, I felt at ease. I really missed our chats and definitely shopping." I said with a huge smile on my face.
We were chatting while having lunch when one of the waiters approached us.
"Your highness!" He called.
I frowned. I didn't expect that someone would call me that in public.
"Please stop calling me that. Call me Mrs.Richards. What is it?" I asked, annoyed.
"I'm sorry, my lady. Someone gave me this and asked me to give it you." He said while handing me a white envelope.
'What is this? A letter?' I asked myself. Then I suddenly felt nervous and remembered my father.
I tried not to tremble while getting the letter from the waiter. I kept on swallowing while I slowly took it from his hand.
When the waiter left, I bit my lips while looking at the envelope. My hands were shaking when I suddenly felt something warm.
Alora, Nina and Sophie put their hand on mine when they saw me shaking.
"Open it." Alora ordered.
Her face became serious. Her voice is now cold and I could feel the rage from her. Is it Camila? No, it's different. It's aura was darker and colder. And it brings chills to my whole body.
"She has no name. Remember her demon?" Nina whispered as if she knew what she was thinking.
I nodded. When I looked at Alora, her eyes were still silver but no sparkle. So that's her dark side? I thought to myself.
I looked at the letter, took a deep breath before opening the envelope.
It was indeed from my father. Just a simple note saying 'Meet me and bring your son.'
But what I found that comes with the letter made me dumbfounded and my whole body felt like I was about to fall from where I was seated.
