No! I have to do something. I won’t accept this. I’m not a weak woman who will just allow someone to rape me. Just thinking about this man touching me with his filthy hands makes me mad.
The man was about to touch me but I mustered all my strength to stand up and headbutt him. I saw his face bleed. I smirked. But then he slapped me hard on the face.
“You want it rough? Then I won’t be gentle with you!” He said in an angry tone.
He then grabbed me from my hair and pulled me on the corner. I couldn’t even feel a thing. All I want right now is to escape from here. But my body wouldn’t even move anymore.
The man suddenly ripped my dress and his eyes were looking at me like a piece of meat. He was drooling all over me. He held my hands on top of my head. He leaned towards
My eyes widened. I sat on the bed and faced him. “Why? Is it because of me?” I asked. I was afraid he would kill the man who almost raped me. “Yes and No.” He paused. “I need to show my power to the Santelmo’s, if not they will keep on using you or any of the people around us to scare me. I couldn’t let you get hurt again. It was a warning this time. They did it on purpose. They took you to show me that they are powerful. Father said they’ve become stronger.” He continued while brushing his hand to my arms. “But Luke, I don’t want you to kill anyone.” Funny. I killed three people already but I was asking Luke not to do it. “It’s necessary. It will happen eventually. One way or another, one side will end up dead. So either kill or get killed. And I don’t want to
I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. Am I really pregnant? This is what I've been waiting for. This is what I wished for. "Congratulations! You'll be a mother if you're pregnant." Camila suddenly came out. I could see her reflection in the mirror. Her usual cold stare with her red eyes. I glared at her. "Where have you been? I was kidnapped and in danger but you're nowhere to be found!" I almost yelled. I don't want Luke to hear that I'm talking to myself in the mirror. Not that he didn't know about it but I wanted to talk to this bitch for now. "Relax. I did it on purpose. And those three as well." She said. "Why? I thought you left me." "Why would we leave
I found out that I was kept in a freezer at the hotel. No one noticed how I was dragged in there. When Luke and our security team searched the whole building, the kitchen was empty. Eugene already suspected that there's something fishy about some of the hotel staff. It's odd that no one was in the kitchen knowing there's a huge party happening that night. They caught three hotel staff who were working with Camila and confessed where I was taken. The people who were caught were taken to A.E's headquarters. Luke also talked to the management and planned on suing them. The kidnapping was again covered and Media Tech did everything to help erase any suspicions from the guests. We went home after and decided to tell our friends about my pregnancy during dinner. "We
The girls were shocked. Zoey was terrified that she started crying. “Mom, you’re scaring me.” She said. Peggy pulled Zoey beside Nina. Sophie sent a message to Percy as soon as Alora switched. This is a new personality and they don’t know yet who she was in Alora’s world. They have to be careful. Luke and the boys rushed to the garden. Zoey came running to Luke and hugged him. She was trembling. Jayden came closer to Peggy. His fiance is pregnant and he wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt her even if it’s Alora. Peggy was sitting beside Alora. He held Jayden’s hand to assure him that she’s okay. She looked at Alora. She hasn’t moved to her seat. She was just sitting there quietly, drinking her tea.
It’s been a few days since I switched to Aliya. Luke told me everything she said. My friends were worried but not because they were afraid of me, it was the fact that I have another personality and that I might have more. Dr.Richards said that according to study, around half of people with dissociative identity disorder have fewer than ten identities and most have fewer than 100 but there has been a report that someone has 4500. Aliya said that there are a lot inside me. She also mentioned that there is someone crazier than Camila. Who is she? I couldn’t really tell who it was. It may be a woman or a man. I know it’s possible to have another identity and it’s a man. Jayden’s other personality was his mother so it could also happen to me. I was really getting anxious. Now that I am having a baby, I could only think
I know Zoey has been avoiding me for a few days now. Whenever she sees me, she will go to Peggy or to Nina. It’s been hard for her. She saw me when I switched to Aliya and it’s really breaking my heart to see her scared of me. I went inside her room to talk to her. She was on the bed reading a book. “Zoey? Can you talk to mommy?” I asked as I walked inside her room. She put down the book and stared at me. She was looking at my face as if she was checking if it’s really me. I took a deep breath and walked towards her. I sat on the bed and held her hand. “I know I scared you. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that mommy is also sick. It’s different from your mother. Mine happens from time to time, not everyday. I have multiple p
It was my psychotherapy today and I asked Dr.Richards to extend our session for a few more hours. Luke was having a meeting with Wilson Group. He was more busy than before since he started his role as the new Chairman and CEO of the company. “Alora, are you not tired? You haven’t rested since we got here.” It was Leon. As promised, Leon became my secretary so he was always with me. We talked about his mother and told her about what my father told us. He was shocked to find out that we’re actually half cousins. We didn’t ask him about Cassandra but Luke found out that his sister was missing. She ran away when their father was imprisoned. She couldn’t bear the humiliation so she suddenly disappeared. “I’m fine Leon.” I said. But I was actually getting exhausted. All yo
“Alora.” Leon whispered. I know he’s worried about me. He held my hand and smiled at me. We were in the living room after Dr.Andrews left. I was quiet and couldn’t say anything. I feel sad but hopeful. I don’t want to be discouraged, it would be bad for the baby. “I’m okay Leon. Thank you. I’ll be in my room if Luke calls for me.” I said then stood up and went to the bedroom. I laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I was giving out deep sighs continuously. I really feel sad. I don’t like this feeling. I didn’t realize I was already crying. It’s really hard to have a mental disorder. It’s not easy to cope up with this feeling. “Mom?” I heard Zoey calling me. I wiped my tears and stood up. “Oh sweetie what is it?”
THIRD POV"Are you sure about that?" Luke asked.She curved her lips and frowned, trying to remember the man she had seen that day. It was a vivid image because she was knocked out, but there was something on the man's face that she clearly remembered.She nodded to confirm her statement. "He's Peggy's father. Do you remember when we met the man to ask about Peggy's whereabouts? I felt something weird toward him. I noticed there was a deep scar on his left eyelid. The man in the woods had the same scar like Benjamin's. And he also asked something weird that day.""What did he ask you?" Sophie asked."He asked me if I remember him. I was confused and told him it was my first time meeting him. I ignored what happened because I thought he just mistook me for someone, but thinking back, maybe he meant the day he injected me with the serum." Luke walked to the other side of the table and sat on the swivel chair. And was in deep thought.Benjamin Miller, CEO of Miller International Securit
After the party, I put the twins to sleep and kissed them good night. Luke, Percy and Sophie waited for me in the study."That serum, do you remember what happened after they inject it into you?" Luke asked.I tried to remember, but nothing came to my mind so I shook my head."I think I passed out after that then—" I paused then frowned.Luke held my hand. "Don't push yourself, baby. Just try to remember what you can."I nodded. "When you help me escape, I think I met a man who injected me with that serum. After that, I just remembered running and that's when I was caught by our kidnappers.""And you killed them?" Sophie followed.I nodded again. "I just remember feeling scared at one point, then that fear suddenly changed into a rage when they told me about killing the three of you.""When you wake up, did you remember anything? Anything at all?" Luke asked again.I disagreed by shaking my head.Percy was on his iPad, searching for something. Then he exclaimed. "Found it!"We settle o
Half a year passed but we never heard anything about Peggy. My husband supported Jayden in his search for her, but the clues we got would eventually vanish along with the traces of Peggy.When almost everyone was busy dealing with the missing Flousian princess, I was busy with myself. I felt like the voices in my head were arguing. I knew already that I'm crazy, that my mind was messed up, and only the little one inside me was keeping my sanity.I didn't tell Luke about what I had found out about myself. I knew he would understand because my husband was a selfless man, especially if it concerned me. He loved me more than his life and that scared me the most. I knew he would still forgive me if I told him the truth."Why don't you tell your husband about yourself? It's a betrayal of trust if you lied to him." Camila said while I'm sitting in front of the mirror."I'm not lying. He didn't ask me about anything so how could I lie to him. I haven't denied anything to him." I insisted.Cam
I stood up when I felt Luke was sleeping quietly. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.“So it was you all along. Are your memories starting to come back? Or are you still wandering in the dark?” It was Camilla who was staring directly at me.“Some of it. Maybe most of them.” I smirked.“I love seeing your face like that. So what are your plans now? Can you really control yourself? Did you remember what really happened in Creepy Willow Forest?” Camila asked.I nodded, giving her a mischievous grin.“It was me. Not you. I killed those people.” I answered.Camila let out an evil laugh. Hearing her laughter was musi
"Elizabeth?" I mumbled with trembling lips. She crouched down and stared into my eyes. Her eyes were like mine, silver yet it was sparkling like crystals. I was shocked when she suddenly grabbed my face with her hand. I'm not sure if it hurts "I hate those eyes of yours. They were like from some dead girl. You were so lucky to have everything yet you are not happy. Your parents, your siblings, friends, your boyfriend and now you are having a baby." She said in a cold tone while looking down my belly. I suddenly feared her. Somehow, she was different. She wasn't the Elizabeth I knew. She was colder than Camila, her aura was darker and eerie. "Elizabeth, you're scaring me. What happened to you?" I asked, trying not t
It was exhausting. Just thinking of everything that happened makes my head throb.I really wish I figured it out sooner. If only I knew that she was asking for help then maybe all of this would not be happening to us."So is your heart getting soft now?I was sitting in front of the mirror brushing my hair when Camila spoke.I took a deep breath and looked at the girl in the mirror with her red eyes coldly staring at me.I didn't answer. I know what her point was. I've been dealing with DID because of what happened to me when I was a kid and was mad at the people who made me like this. But now that I found out my Aunt's reasons, I suddenly had a change of heart."Then are you suggesting to keep my heart tainted with bloo
After our meeting, we went home quietly. Luke hadn't said anything and was just sitting in silence. He hasn't asked me about the meaning of my last interaction with Camila.I was thinking about her the whole time. I didn't realize that she's been sending me a message ever since.When we arrived at Queen's, we went straight to Luke's office where everyone was waiting. Inside, we were surprised to see our parents.Mom rushed into me and embraced me tight, followed by the girls. Father patted me on the head then walked towards Luke. I saw his parents smiling, indicating they are very proud of him."You did great honey." Mom whispered.We sat on the couch to talk about what happened earlier. Luke seated on his swivel chair, cross
The first time I met Camila was in the forest. I was terrified at that time and fear was always with me whenever we talked about her ever since. The second time was at the party. I still felt the same towards her, terrified with her coldness and evilness. However, now that we are meeting for the third time, I couldn't feel any fear towards her. I realized she was using it against me. If I lived in fear she would just keep on threatening us. She always tells me that she likes my eyes. I noticed that every time she felt excited and thrilled was the time that I was showing my weakness and fear towards her. I wouldn't allow that anymore. Especially with the baby in my belly. I was staring at her directly to her eyes from the moment she entered the room. I wanted to rush into her and strangle her like what I did to the young Santelmo. But I felt Luke's grip tighte
I was just listening to him and was surprised about the history of their family with the Wilson's. One of the guards walked towards Luke and gave some files before Paulo was able to continue. "Alfonso Santelmo, your great great grandfather. The most influential man back in the 1970's. He was friends with Matthew Wilson, my father's grandfather. Alfonso was imprisoned because of the rape and murder of Agatha Wilson, Matthew Wilson's sister. Alfonso died in 1980. He was beaten and stabbed to death." It was Luke who continued. Paulo didn't say a word but I could see that he was surprised. He didn't expect that Luke knew something about it. The case file of Alfonso Santelmo was erased from the police's database and no one knows how. I'm not really sure how Luke found out about it.
