Reclaiming Her Heart

The alter ego felt totally chill after wrapping up those tasks.

He tossed the chip into a nearby box and said in a flat voice, "You researchers are all freaks. What's the point of studying this junk? I thought it was some kind of earth-shattering weapon."

Christopher replied, "It is a weapon. Major powers can't go to war directly because of nukes, so they mess around with stuff like this. If they can trigger a second personality in someone, and that personality is what they need, then when it takes over, the person becomes one of them. It's an easy way to turn a high-ranking official."

The alter ego scoffed, "Lame."

Christopher stayed quiet.

After a while, the alter ego asked, "So, if they can control the triggered personality, is that why they brought me out?"

Christopher nodded, "Yeah."

The alter ego said, "I don't trust you. I'll check it out myself."

Christopher was silent for a bit before softly saying, "Don't hurt her."

The alter ego sneered, "You've ended up like this, and you still care about her."

Christopher said, "No matter what I become, I'll always care about her."

Talking to someone like Christopher made people lower their voices without realizing it. He was naturally gentle, and speaking loudly to him felt wrong.

But his alter ego was different. He hated Christopher's gentleness, thinking it was fake. He also hated Christopher's chastity. He had once tried to hook up with several women but was stopped at the last moment. At that time, Christopher's voice had turned dark, "I hate these women touching me."

They shared the same body, never knowing when the other would take over. Only in the past few months had they started to control it better.

Christopher called his alter ego Mario, a fake name he had once used, to tell them apart. But the alter ego didn't like it and refused to use the name.

When Christopher asked him what he wanted to be called, he couldn't come up with anything. He always felt like he had a name before.

The alter ego said, "Christopher, I can feel your emotions lately. You were really happy when you saw Selena."

"Those aren't my emotions." After saying this, Christopher went silent.

The alter ego squinted at himself in the mirror, suddenly feeling very annoyed.

He had to get rid of Christopher! He had to take control of this body!

Because of Mario's actions, everyone in the circle was now talking about Selena and her first love.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Never heard of this guy."

"Not from a big family in Silver Bay City. Makes sense, since it's a first love, it must have been a long time ago. Selena isn't from a wealthy family, so she probably knew an ordinary guy." "So, is Raymond with Selena now, or with Tessa?"

Everyone was buzzing about it, but the next evening, they saw Raymond post another update on Facebook.

He used to go years without posting anything, but since he started dating, this was his second post.

The Facebook post was a picture of the garden outside Manston Manor, with just one sentence: [Waiting for someone.]

Raymond didn't need to say who it was; everyone knew he was waiting for Selena.

The comments below were all congratulatory messages for Raymond.
