(Third person pov)
Ever since she read the diary, she had come to know what her sister wants. The dream that her sister had never realized, she decided to make it come true.
"Since then, I was created and took over this body for these few years. Our mother wanted her beloved daughter who was obedient and not rebellious, and I made that happen by being my sister." Kaylee explained as she rested her head on Declan's chest.
The two of them were lying on the bed, with Kaylee sleeping comfortably above his hard sturdy chest.
"I blocked every memory that made me uncomfortable and only chose the good things to make the ideal daughter. When I play my role as a good girl, I get rid of all memories of my other alter and lock up her courage so that I don't have the desire to rebel."
"Has she never appeared at all?"
"Sometimes, she appears when I'm in danger. She has this mysterious keen sense of the lurking danger. I protected her from sorrowful memories, but she protected me from any outside danger."
"I see." That's why she showed up that night. Added Declan in his mind.
"Well, she appears when I was sick every month."
"You were sick every month? Why is that?"
Kaylee's face turned red and snuggled deeper as she answered the man, "You know… a woman's things that came in every month." her finger grips his cloth, and her voice was too soft as if it was the end of the world if Kaylee spoke bluntly.
Declan couldn't help but smile at the sweet meekness of his wife. "Why does she only appear when you're having your period?"
Kaylee's mouth was wide open, unable to believe this man actually said the most embarrassing thing as if he was telling her he was having breakfast.
With pouty lips, Kaylee answered her fiancé with a heavy sigh. "I was created based on the character of my sister, and my sister… she can't stand the pain. Every time she experiences… ahem… that thing, I'm the one who accompanies her."
No wonder Kaylee always feels someone stroked her belly and massaging her every time she had stomach cramps. Her other alter always comes to the fore to replace her because she could endure the pain.
"Did you ever talk to her?"
Kaylee nodded her head in response to Declan's question. "Sometimes we debated, but she often gave up as she didn't want to take control. However, she always warns me from the inside before I fall into someone's trap. I could open my memory and outsmart everyone who wants to ambush me. But then, I will be no longer the ideal daughter my mother wanted me to be."
"Your mother never expected you to be her ideal child. She wants you back."
"…"
"She wanted her daughter back, love. She wanted the real you."
Kaylee pulled herself out of his embrace and sat pensively. "What's the point to bring her back? Even though I don't want her to continue hiding in her shell, I can understand why she doesn't want to come out. That's why I was created, Declan. I know our mother doesn't want us."
Declan also got up and hugged Kaylee's petite figure from behind. "Trust me. She wanted you more than anything. My mother is one thing, and I don't believe she was a good mother."
"Neither does my mother."
"Yes, she doesn't. But Britney tried her best to overcome her loss. She regretted it a lot... everything she said to you. I could see that she's suffering just as much as you. You'll know when you see the video."
"Video? What video?"
Declan shook his head. "It's not for you. It's for her."
"That's why you want to talk to her." Kaylee gave a thin smile when she saw Declan nod his head once. "I'll try to force her out, but before that, I have a quick question for you."
"What is it?"
Kaylee spun around and sat down in Japanese style opposite Declan. "Which one do you prefer? Me or my other alter?"
Declan was stunned for a while, not expecting this sudden quiz. The man chuckled in amusement when he saw how serious his little wife's expression was.
"What's the difference between you and the other? You are my wife, and that would never change."
"That's not an answer to my question." sulked Kaylee while pouting her lips and crunching her nose as usual.
Her small actions and every expression on hers looked so adorable in his eyes.
"I love you. Your innocent, your thousand expressions, and how you respond to my dirty talk…."
You don't have to say the last part out loud!! Screamed Kaylee in her head.
Declan pulled her waist to make her closer against him. "And I love your other side's wicked eyes and how you seduced me with your sensual lips. It aroused me more, and I wanted to devour you right there and then. I love everything about you, my goddess."
If Kaylee's face could turn red again, it would. It was the first time Declan called her a 'goddess.'
"Can I talk to her now? I miss her already."
Why does it sound wrong, yet Kaylee found herself felt thrilled when she heard Declan miss her other alter?
She felt that Declan was asking her permission to meet another girl who is not her, but at the same time, her heart jumped with joy because she knows Declan will also love her other alter.
'Can you hear it? He also loved you!'
Alas, the girl wouldn't hear her voice because her other alter has closed her off to this world.
Even if she wanted to make her other side came to the surface, she wouldn't be able to do it. Plus Kaylee knows, her other side is trying hard to make her forget Declan.
Now that she has taken this body control completely, her other alter will not be able to make her forget Declan or give her nightmares.. In exchange, the girl locked herself in and refused to come out.
