Chapter 140 - 138 - Personalities

I looked for him downstairs but couldn't find him. What the fuck did I do to him? Why didn't he at least tell me where he would go?

"Love, are you looking for me?"

When I turned around, he was standing by the entrance door of the house, smiling at me. I pouted but I was happy to see him.

I wanted to run towards him and just jumped into his arms but I waited for him. He was slowly walking towards me while holding a bouquet of flowers.

"I thought you left without even telling me." I ranted.

He chuckled. "I was rushing to go downstairs to get this. I wanted to give this to you once you wake up. I was planning to put it on the bedside table but the shop suddenly called when I was in the shower telling me that they arrived." He explained.

He handed me the flowers and gently kissed me on the lips then to my cheeks.

"Good morning, love!" He greeted me.

My face lit up and I knew I was smiling so wide.

"Good morning!" I greeted with my cheeks blushing.

"How about we go back to our room and take a shower together?" He teased.

"You know you have to go to work. I received an email that my class today was cancelled so I have to stay at home today. Caden would be riding with the twins today so you're all alone today."

His face became gloomy and he was sulking. I wanted to laugh. He was like a kid who was going to have a tantrum.

"I'll wait for you then we'll go to check the house?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

He nodded and heaved a sigh.

"Fine. I'll go to work. I needed to save money for Iceland anyway!" He exclaimed.

"Yes. Go to work husband while your wife will sit here and wait for your return." I said, teasing him back.

He pulled me again and pressed my lips with his, kissing me passionately.

Before he let me go, he sucked my lower lip while his hand gently caressed my bottom.

"Prepare yourself tonight my wife. I will strip you naked and shower your whole body with kisses." He winked then turned around and left.

I was blushing and my cheeks felt so warm. My temperature suddenly rose just thinking of tonight. I bit my lips and was smiling by myself when someone suddenly spoke.

"Mommy, why are you smiling by yourself?" Caden asked while standing in front of me.

He would be four in three months and he was growing up looking exactly like his dad. He was the mini version of his father.

"I'm just happy. Your dad gave this to me." I boasted.

"I love seeing you smile mommy." He said then walked towards the couch to get his mini backpack.

"Are you sure you don't like me to go with you?" I asked.

"Yes mommy! It's fine. Lucas and Alira are with me. We have a lot of bodyguards so I'm safe. Don't worry about me. Stay here and relax." He said in a happy tone.

"Okay sweetie buy if anything goes wrong, call me or your dad, okay?"

The twins came with Alora following them.

"No school?" She asked.

"Yes. So I'm free today."

"Would you like to go out?"

I got excited when she asked me out. I also wanted to talk to her about her illness and it had been a long time since we last hung out.

"How about the others?" I asked.

"We'll definitely come! I'm so bored!" It was Nina who exclaimed while running downstairs followed by Sophie. I suddenly missed Emily but I know my brother needs her more than me.

After the kids left, we prepared and decided to go shopping first. For the last three years that I was away from them, there were things that changed and some didn't.

Nina will be getting married in two years to Andrew. She changed a lot. She looks mature and sophisticated but she was still the simple girl in high school. Andrews is rich and the CEO of Cross Corporation but she still wore simple and not so expensive clothes.

Sophie was still quiet and calm. They don't have any plans yet for the wedding. She was busy taking care of their business. Percy was just announced as the new CEO of Media Tech a year ago so they were both busy with their family's empire.

We decided to have lunch at a Japanese Restaurant after buying some clothes. We sat down far away from the other people since we really wanted to chat in a quiet place.

"You were staring at me again. What do you want to ask?" I was surprised when Alora said that.

I didn't realize I was staring at her and she said 'again'. I wonder when did she notice I was staring.

"Are you cured?"

When we were in high school, Alora switched personalities often to the point that we couldn't even figure out who we were talking to. Unlike Jayden, she started with four personalities inside her but eventually we found out that there was a lot more.

She didn't even show any reaction or emotion when I asked her. Maybe she still wasn't cured.

"You're right. I am not." She said.

"What? How did you-, Can you read minds now?"

I heard Nina laugh while I looked at them confused.

"What do you think of me? I have DID, I can't read minds. It's written all over your face." Alora said in a cold tone.

I giggled at my own assumption.

"I'm not cured. Remember, before you left three years ago, I only had a twenty percent chance of getting better. But now, I have three percent." She answered.

"Why? What happened?"

"I developed a lot of personalities so the chances of me getting cured was almost zero." She continued.

"Alora has twenty five personalities inside and still counting." Sophie whispered.

I was surprised. I thought she was okay now since I didn't see her switch personalities lately. Will Jayden also continue to develop more personalities? 

"Alora, is it okay if I ask you about your memory when you killed someone?"
