ALORA POV
She was awakened by his touch. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him staring at her. She fell asleep after making love to him. She let him make love with her other self then switched so they could do it a few times after.
“Are you tired?” He asked while caressing her cheek.
“Are you?” I asked with a wide smile on her face.
“Who’s fault is it? You’ve been switching to Camila, it’s insane.” He blurted.
I giggled. “It was just me and her. What if I switch to all five of them in one night?”
“That’s crazy but I’ll look forward to that.” He answered while kissing my hand.
“Honey, I will let Camila and the others talk to Dr.
I soaked myself in the tub and thought of my discussion with Luke. He’s not really against my decision to reach out to Aliya but he’s worried. “What are you thinking?” Camila asked. I could see her from the reflection of the water. “Thinking of a way to reach Aliya. I wanted to know what’s the secret she talked about.” I answered. “Then why are you doubting again? She asked. “I don’t know. I really wanted to talk to her but I’m scared of the truth.” She looked at me in the eyes and smirked. “Don’t create another one of us. You do that when you feel you’re doubting or you’re in fear.” She’s right. I don’t even know ho
“I wanted to understand you. I wanted to help you. But how could I do that if you don’t trust me and if you don’t help yourself. I love you Alora. But sometimes, I feel like you’re so far away. I know it’s hard for you. It’s hard for me too. The baby was also at risk if you’re like this. I’m just hoping you could at least tell me what’s going on in your head.” I said while treating myself. She was sitting on the couch quietly. She wasn’t moving. Her eyes haven’t blinked at all. As if she lost herself. I took a deep breath, stood up and went outside the room. I called Sophie and Emily to take care of her. I don’t think I could sleep in our bedroom for the time being. I hate to see her like that. I went back to my office and focused on some paperworks. I heard a few knocks before the boys came inside.
ALORA POV It's been three weeks already since Luke started sleeping in another room. It was lonely. Every time I was in our bedroom I felt like I was more alone than ever. It was depressing. When he went out of the room that day, I wanted to chase and beg him. When I saw him turn around to walk away from me, I felt like my heart was crushed. I couldn't blame him. I saw his hand dripping with blood when I hurt him. The girls told me it was an accident but I know it wasn't. I know they're just trying to say it so I won't blame myself. That day, I heard different voices in my head. It was a mess. They've been talking all at the same time and I thought my mind would explode. Then the last voice I heard was colder and e
LUKE POVI was listening to Alora and Leon's conversation. I put a listening device on them so I could monitor Leon while guarding her. I trust him that he will protect her but I don't trust him that he won't make a move on her.I was getting pissed that he was having tea with her calmly."Alora, are you okay?" Leon asked."I'm fine, I was just thinking of something." Alora answered.."Luke?" He asked again."Yeah.""You really love him huh?""I do. But right now, with my condition, I don't really know if I could love him completely. I'm a mess and broken so it was hard on us both." S
No words, just hugs. I wrapped my arms around him and leaned my face to his chest. I listened to his heart. It was beating loudly and it was screaming my name. I felt him kiss me on the head as he hugged me tighter. "I shouldn't have walked out on you like that. I'm so stupid." He said, softly. I didn't answer. I just want to be in his arms. I feel safe just having him near me. I missed him so bad. "Hey can you say something? I'm nervous." He said. I tilted my face to see his, I pouted. "I missed you. I feel so lonely." I said then tears fell from my eyes. I was suppressing my feelings for three weeks. The loneliness that I felt for the days he's not with me was so depressing.
The party was going smoothly. Luke was talking to his father and it seems he was introducing him to someone. Percy had to change his clothes because someone accidentally spilled a juice on him while Sophie was suddenly called by her mother. I was sitting alone on our table while listening to the sweet music. Tonight, I was finally announced as the official fiance of Luke Wilson, the heir to the Wilson Empire. Luke, Percy, Sophie and I were childhood friends. Sophie is my best friend and currently engaged to Percy, the heir to the Jackson Clan who owns the largest media company in the country, Media Tech. Sophie belongs to the Anderson Clan, her family was in politics and they owned the biggest law firm nationwide. Her grandfather was the President of the country 10 years ago while her uncle is the current Preside
He laughed. His laugh sounds like the devil. He was just a young boy but I felt like a hideous monster was in front of me. Then he suddenly grabbed the back of my head and smelled me on the neck. I wanted to puke. I froze and my body was trembling. Will I die here? I could feel the knife on my waist as if I moved I would be stabbed. “You smell nice.” Then he licked me from my neck to my cheek. I was terrified. “Stop, please.” I begged. I was only eleven years old but my body was beginning to be of a woman. I’m five feet two inches and I think Raphael was five feet four inches while Luke was a bit taller than him despite being at the age of twelve. “I just wanted a taste of you. If you’re a good girl, I won’t hurt you. But if not, I will kill you and Luke.” He s
"Baby, what is it?" My mind came back to the present. I looked at Luke and everyone in the room. "Maybe we could continue later. I think Alora needs to rest." Luke suddenly said. I buried my face to his neck while I was still seated in his lap. I felt the others went out of the room. Luke patted me on the head and wrapped his arms around my waist. "So what is it? It's just the two of us now." He asked. "I remember what happened before we were kidnapped." I whispered. Then stared into his eyes and started telling him about his cousin Raphael. He clenched his teeth when I told him he tried to sexually harass me. I was looking at his face the whole time. I waited for him to be disgusted but he didn't. I could only see his a
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.
