Jennifer was on the verge of suffocation. She could feel death pressing against her and she began to lose consciousness. Right before everything turned black, Mona released her. Looking at the woman gasping and coughing on the bed, Mona felt like a king gazing down at the loser from a condescending angle. “Not throwing you out of the house is my biggest mercy to you, you crazy woman. Be grateful.” Mona exercised her wrists. Her delicate face lost its usual gentleness and was replaced by a frosty and fierce glare. Jennifer continued to gasp for air on the bed, flabbergasted by what just happened. Mona was really trying to kill her, and she almost died. She sat herself up using her hands and moved to the side to draw distance from Mona. Her eyes were filled with fear and reverence for Mona. Mona curled her lips. She was glad that Jennifer understood that she was serious. She had to fight poison with poison. If she did not become the villain today, she would continue to be
He strode into the ward and saw his mother kneeling before Mona. With a heavy look, he went over and carried his mother back to the bed. Jennifer curled up on the bed and shuddered ceaselessly. Thaddeus frowned. He turned around to Mona, asking, “What happened to my mother? What did you do to her?” Mona scoffed. “What could I possibly do to her? Kill her?” “Mona, please. I’m better off dead. Just strangle me like you did, just take my life away,” Jennifer preemptively begged.Mona looked at Thaddeus. She wanted to know which side he would take. Thaddeus asked Mona, “You strangled my mother?” “I did.” “Why?” Thaddeus found it outrageous and unbelievable. Mona could barely kill a fish in the kitchen, yet she just strangled his mother and forced her onto her knees. “I…” Mona was speechless for a moment. She did strangle Jennifer out of vengeance and grievance, but it was only to scare the woman, a method that she had to use to achieve her goal. “Mother just woke up.
Mona tucked Jennifer in and left her alone to rest. She and Thaddeus went out to the corridor. Thaddeus crossed his arms and stared at his wife. He raised a brow and asked, “How? What did you do to my mother?” Mona pursed her lips. There was an obvious delight in her expression. She tapped her head softly and jokingly said, “I settled it with my brain and wisdom.” Thaddeus did not say anything. He stared at Mona blankly. To be honest, after spending some time living with the woman, his impression of her drastically changed, and he was constantly surprised. Resentment turned to fondness while respect and admiration changed to being impressed. His relationship with his mother had always been terrible, which ultimately led to Mona’s relationship with his mother being similarly bad. However, Mona solved it easily. He had never seen his mother so docile before. “You did great today.” The man's eyes sparkled, and he was not stingy with his praise. “Just great?” Mona poute
Mona yawned, trying to act cute in front of the man on purpose. For some reason, she liked to act cute and behave like a little girl in front of him.“Yeah. After sending your mother to the hospital last night, Eleanor and Victor came. I am telling you, you should really check on the servants, or else they will know everything that happened at home.” Thaddeus nodded. “You’re right. I thought of the problem as well, but I got so busy I didn’t get the time to deal with you. Why don’t I leave it to you, mistress of the house?” “Of course.” Mona playfully looked around. Her eyes shone brightly. “If I do a good job, is there a reward?” “Why don’t you start investigating first? If you do a good job, of course, you will be rewarded.” “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.” Mona tapped her chest confidently. Thaddeus asked, “But there are more than a dozen servants at our house. How are you going to investigate all of them?” Mona said, “Don’t worry. If I am confident enough to take the j
How far would the woman go just to go back to shooting? Was it worth risking her life? “I can’t allow you to go back for the shoot.” The man snatched her phone and looked for Sophie’s contact number. “No way!” Mona swiftly snatched the phone back and hid it behind her. “I’ve already promised her. How can I go back on my word? Besides, Sophie said she would find me some stunt doubles, and I don’t have to do all those dangerous stunts.” Thaddeus sighed helplessly. He shot a grudging glare at the medical report in her hand as he thought of the baby. The glint in his eyes disappeared. He believed Mona, but the origin of the baby had yet to be determined and the timing was not right. There must be some details that he left out. As he pondered, Mona got up and headed to the elevator. She waved at Thaddeus and stuck her tongue out at him. She playfully said, “I’m looking forward to the movie, so I have to go back to shooting. You stay at home and take care of the elders and the
“Mona,” Anna suddenly called her, stopping her. Mona turned around. “Based on my observation, his second personality might have awakened. If so, he will be in an emotional state. Two personalities sharing a body… It’s symbiotic and also competitive. Besides, the main personality tried to erase the second personality when he woke up, but now it seemed like he failed.” Mona listened to Anna carefully but could not fully understand her. “Erase the second personality? What does that mean?” Anna explained, “In short, he’s returning to normal. His mental and psychological states are damaged, hence giving birth to the second personality. He is like the bad cells in the human body that must be erased and eliminated before the body can function normally.” “Despite taking medication, he still can’t stop the second personality from awakening?” “Yeah. He did a lot of things to try to erase the second personality, including electrotherapy, acupuncture, and many other methods. He is no
His eyes shone when he saw the woman that he missed so much. He was like an abandoned child who found shelter in Mona. He reached out to her and held her hands. “You’re finally here.” Mona could feel the man’s hands shaking. She looked into his eyes, and through them, she saw an unfamiliar soul. After spending time with both of them, Mona realized they were two different people, two very different souls on both ends of the spectrum. Thaddeus’ main personality was logical, cold-blooded, and always considered the pros and cons of the situation. It would be foolish to be sentimental with him. The second personality was a sentimental soul and also the weaker side of himself. It was born from the depression and oppression he faced as a child. Mona suddenly realized how painful it was for Thaddeus to have two personalities in one body. “Thaddeus, are you alright?” Mona sat down beside the bed. She did not know how to talk with the man anymore. A moment ago, Anna had asked
Mona held his face and told him to sit down. “Do you remember why you are suffering from a split personality disorder? It’s because Thaddeus’ mental state faced a lot of pressure when he was young and lacked emotions, hence his sentimental side is gone. If he’s able to regulate his emotions, he will be able to recover to a normal person’s level and have a stable mental and psychological state. Then, you two will be able to become one, right?” “Liar!” Thaddeus got aggressive and pushed Mona’s hand away. Mona bolted up and stepped away. Upset, she yelled, “I’m pregnant! What if you hurt the baby?!” Thaddeus was thrilled to hear the news. “Pregnant? Is it mine? Or his?” Mona rubbed her temples. “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m having a headache.” “It’s mine. It’s definitely mine.” The man was confident, and the certainty recovered his energetic and smug look. Mona sighed. For some reason, the second personality seemed a lot more childish this time. “Yeah. It’s yours, yo
