Chapter 151 - 149 - Split

I held Caden's hand and moved closer to him. It was a good thing that he was sitting beside me.

"I wanted to meet you but the other guy won't allow me." He said while looking at me intently.

His cold stare was freezing me out. I could feel my body shiver just from hearing his voice.

"What do you want?" I asked, trying to calm myself down.

He smirked which made me fear him more. I was telling Jayden that I wanted to talk to his other self but now that he's in front of me, I couldn't muster the courage to face him. 

"You're cold, princess.. You weren't like that to him especially in bed."

I wanted to run away from him. I wanted to barf when he said those words. I know it was still Jayden but his personality was a lot different from the real one. It was like he lost any respect for me.

"Daddy?"

I felt like my blood went up to my head when I heard Caden's voice. Maybe he also noticed that his dad suddenly changed.

To my surprise, he picked up his phone and called someone.

"Take the kid to Queen's. Tell my father to go with him and stay there for a while. There will be some renovations at home."

I was listening to him, every word he said. He called Caden, the kid, which pained me but he also said home.

Owen came in and took Caden. I tried to keep calm so they won't recognize that something was wrong. I was relieved when Caden was taken to go home but my fear grew when the man in front of me didn't even blink and was just staring at me.

"So you're pregnant again?" He asked.

I wanted to lie to him but I could still feel that my husband was somehow in there. Jayden wanted me to run away once he switched but thinking about leaving him, I really couldn't do it.

"I am. It's our child." I answered in a firm voice.

He frowned and didn't comment about it.

"Did you know I hate you?"

I looked into his eyes, trying to reach his heart with my gaze.

"I do. I also know you wanted to kill me to avenge your mother."

"Are you not afraid of me?"

"I am. But you are my husband. And I love you. I don't care if you want revenge, it is your right. I saw what happened to your mother. She showed me. If I were you I would also feel the same way." I answered.

He wasn't turning his eyes away from me. He was sitting in front of me, staring directly into my eyes.

"Are you saying you are willing to die for the sake of love?"

I know it's crazy but I can't allow him to hurt me, especially now that there's a baby inside me. If I could get him to trust me then I am willing to do everything even risking my own life.

"Yes. But I am not ready to die now. I'm pregnant. Let me give this child to you, to Jayden then I will let you kill me after this baby is born."

I didn't blink like him when I said those words. If this is the only way for him to trust me then so be it. I know Jayden would also do everything so it won't happen but for now, for the sake of my unborn child I will make a deal with the devil.

"Why are you willing to give up your life for me?"

I was surprised when he said 'me', I felt like he was hurting. I could feel his pain as if he didn't really want to hurt me but he has a promise to fulfill.

"I know what it feels like to lose a parent. Mom died when I was born, I didn't even see her face. I didn't even know what she looked like until I saw her picture. You lost your mother like mine but it was more painful to you seeing how you lost her. I was mad with my father. I despised him for what he did to your family. If I could only change the past, I will do it. I would never blame you if you wanted revenge."

We stared at each other for I couldn't remember how long. He didn't say anything after I told him what I felt. 

"Will you at least fulfill my wish?" I asked, breaking the silence between us.

He nodded. His aura changed again. It wasn't as dark when he first appeared. Somehow, I became hopeful. Maybe he wasn't as bad as Jayden said.

"Do you have a name?"

"I'm still Jayden, your husband. I was with you from the very first time you met him." He said.

I frowned. He was with me? I suddenly got confused. It was the first time I saw Jayden switched. He didn't even switch to his mother, not even once.

"What do you mean?"

"We met in Queen's. You asked me to be your boyfriend for a week. After a week you wanted to break up with me. I was pissed so I kissed you. That was your first kiss."

My eyes widened. I couldn't understand what's happening. Alora couldn't remember anything if he switched to one of her personalities. Jayden and the one in front of me both remember our first meeting.

"Are you saying that during high school it was you?" I asked.

"Not really. Only from time to time."

"What are those times that you were there?" 

I wasn't satisfied with his answer. I wanted to know more about Jayden's other self.

"Will you stop asking?" He exclaimed.

I pouted but decided to ask him one last question.

"Do you at least feel that you love me?"

He glared at me and I thought he wasn't going to answer. 

"You really are stupid. We only have one heart, only our thoughts differ." He answered.

I wanted to rush into his side and hug him. I knew it, there's hope. He loves me and that was enough for me.

"You look like an idiot smiling like that. Why are you happy knowing that I would kill you after you give birth?" He asked with a frown face.

"Because your love is enough for me." I simply answered and looked at him directly into his eyes.
