Chapter 223 – Alora
After dinner, the girls and I decided to have tea time. It was pretty late, but none of us would be able to sleep after our talk. I couldn't believe that something like that happened when I was away.
Half a year after I left Jayden, Alora started having episodes. She became uncontrollable and would switch to different personalities.
That time, she began to switch with Lilith, the most dangerous of all her personalities. They said she was the one who killed their kidnappers, as well as Luke's cousin and the man who attacked her during our trip. Alora said she didn't name her because she remembers everything she had done when she was Lilith.
Nina gave the name Lilith. They decided to name her because they didn't want to call it Alora. During those times, Jayden was also suffering from his illness.
Kyle said that Jayden didn't tell them about it in the beginning. They found out when Alora and him fought.
Jayden said he got pissed with Alora's sarcastic behavior that day, and he just snapped. He couldn't control his anger and suddenly switched personalities.
Alora was commenting about how I ran away with Jayden. She provoked him by saying that I was probably left because he was a jerk and already had someone else.
His anger grew when Alora said that I might show up someday happily married to someone else. Jayden said that his vision became unclear, and it was like Alora changed to a demon.
They were in the living room of Queen's that time when Jayden grabbed Alora. He didn't know how he got a knife in his hand, but the others said he had gone to the kitchen before it happened.
Our friends tried to stop him, but he held Alora by her neck. He was standing behind her while his one arm was around her neck; a knife was on Alora's neck.
Alora didn't seem bothered by what was happening. She laughed like a devil, and that was when Jayden stabbed her on the shoulders. But instead of being afraid towards him, Alora grabbed the knife and pulled it.
She tried to stab Jayden on his legs, but he pushed her towards Luke. That's when they realized that Jayden seemed different.
"We finally met Mr.Richards." Alora said while holding her shoulder.
Luke tried to stop Alora from talking, but he had no control over their conversation.
"So you noticed." Jayden answered.
"You can't hide anything from me. I know what you are. You and I are the same."
"Not really. I'm not as crazy as you."
"Is that true?" Alora smirked while glancing at her stab wound.
"You deserved it. You are so full of yourself. You thought everyone was scared of you. But sorry to disappoint you. I'm not afraid of you. Don't show yourself in front of me again, or I swear I will kill you!" Jayden said with gritted teeth.
Alora laughed, glaring at Jayden.
"Same here, Mr.Richards. Next time we meet, you will never have a chance to touch even just a strand of my hair."
I sighed. Jayden and Alora's illness was really complicated. Jayden's dad said that dissociative identity disorder had no cure, but the person could still live a normal life.
How can it be normal if your husband has multiple personalities? I wanted to ask his father but decided to keep it to myself. I love my husband. I don't care about his illness, but I was hoping that he could be cured.
Jayden admitted having five personalities inside him. At first, he didn't know that it went up to that number. Kyle said that he started creating the others when I left Jayden.
I honestly felt guilty when I heard that, but Jayden said it wasn't my fault. It was his. It was his fault for having a weak mind. He couldn't take the loneliness and anger when I was gone, so he created them.
I haven't met Jayden's personality as his mother, and I don't think I wanted to meet that side of him. I met the other him, the one who wanted revenge, and the other came out earlier.
Jayden's personality earlier was different from the other. I felt like he was more dangerous, but I didn't think he could hurt me.
I sighed and glanced at Alora. We were at the garden for half an hour but no one was saying anything at all. I couldn't find the right words to talk to Alora.
"Hey! Are you two not going to talk to each other?" Nina ranted.
I pouted, then looked at Alora again. She was calmly sitting beside Sophie, sipping tea. Sometimes she really pissed me off, but I couldn't blame her. She's different from the beginning. Emily and I approached her even though she was cold and distant.
"Are you not mad at me?" I asked her.
She gave me a cold glance, then took another sip of coffee before giving me an answer.
"Why would I get mad at you? Have you done anything wrong? Peggy, it was my fault. I shouldn't have provoked Jayden back then. I was a bitch." She answered.
Alora never lied. That's the one thing I like about her. She never hides her feelings towards us. If she's mad at you, she will tell you. She never liked pretending.
"I'm worried about Jayden. What if the people who killed his mother were still alive? Father said he killed them, and I believed him." I sighed.
"Did you ask your father about it? I mean, he didn't have any more reason to lie to you." Emily said.
She was right. Father wouldn't lie to me anymore, especially now that he's with my mother.
"Why did the adults around us have complicated lives before? And don't you think it's odd that they were all connected when they were young?" Nina suddenly asked.
I frowned, thinking of what Nina said.
"Think about it. The Wilson's had a long time feud with the Santelmo's. Alora and the others were kidnapped by the Mafia when they were young because of revenge. Jayden's mom and your father were both from a Mafia Clan.. Alora, didn't your Aunt Camila mention the Rossi's as well?'' Nina continued.
