VICTOR BLOODBORNE " Maya, please, " I called out, tapping her hands as I tried to free myself without hurting her, but her grip on my neck was too tight. " I am not Maya, my name is Rica, " she growled and I ignored her, still tapping her hands. Fuck Rica, the person I knew and was in love with was Maya and not Rica. I tried to release myself from her grip with a little force, but it wasn't possible. I didn't know that Maya was that strong, or was it because this was Rica? " Rica, please, let him go, " Julia pleaded, trying to grab her hands, but Rica shoved her away, making her fall on the couch. The fuck? " It was all his fault, because of him, Gabriel died, Maya had to suffer just because of him. Why should I let him go? He deserves death, " she stated and on hearing that, my eyes widened in surprise, causing me to wriggle, using more force, but she

  Julia ushered her into the room, closing the door behind her. She walked Maya to the sofa, sitting down beside her. " What do you mean by that? Why can't you feel any connection with Ethan anymore? What does that mean? " She asked, getting so worked up about what Maya said. " Is this how it going to be when Ethan isn't with me anymore? I couldn't even feel his presence when I was locked in Rica's mind. What will I do when he is gone? " She cried and Julia engulfed her into a hug, heaving out a sigh of relief as she silently thanked the Goddess that it wasn't what she thought of. " Ethan will not die, Maya, you don't need to think so much about it. We have found their hideout and soon, we will get your son back from those motherfuckers, so you need to calm down and stop thinking too much about it, " she advised, even thigh she knew it wasn't a easy thing to do. " How did yo

  " Do you have DID? " He asked and I nudged him, letting him know that he was overstepping. Maya stopped walking and turned to us, obviously taken by surprise at his ridiculous question. " DID? " She asked, raising a brow and he nodded in response. " You know, Dissociative Identity Disorder, " he tried to explain to her, but she shook her head. " I know what it is, I'm not dumb, " she snapped at him and I twitched my lips, glaring at him. " What I'm asking is why you said that, " she added and he shrugged. " I'm just saying. Earlier, you said you don't always remember anything after she had taken control, it's similar to DID, " he elaborated and I mentally facepalmed myself. What the hell was his business with that?  " It's not that I cannot remember, I just choose not to. It would cause unnecessary discomfort if I do recollect those memories, " sh

  " Good morning, " I greeted, smiling softly as I entered the dining room, where Julia, Victor and Nelson were patiently waiting for me. I had woken up a bit later than usual and warned them not to wake me up as I stayed up all night, unable to sleep because of what Julia said to me last night. " You should have let us start eating if you knew you wanted to sleep that badly. It's almost noon and we haven't had breakfast yet, " Nelson grumbled, folding his arms in annoyance. Did I forget to say that I also warned none of them to take a bite of their food until I had arrived?? " Didn't you sleep at all last night? " Victor asked and I shrugged, sitting down on the empty chair that was next to him. " I had so many thoughts on my mind, so I wasn't able to sleep at all. I hope I didn't offend any of you? " I asked, acting oblivious to what Nelson said and he sneered at me.

  We were supposed to begin training today, but I didn't feel the urge to. I just didn't want to start anything that had to do with the attack after last night.  I slowly walked into the dining room to have breakfast with the others, dragging each of my feet until I got there. " Maya, are you okay? Didn't you sleep well yesterday? " Victor asked, but I ignored him, taking a seat at the last edge of the table, farthest away from him. The three of them stared at my every move, but I wasn't fazed by that and just kept on doing what I was supposed to. Without waiting for any of them, I took my spoon and began eating, while they watched me. " Aren't you gonna eat? " I snapped, without looking at any of them and they began eating, not saying anything. For that, I was grateful as I didn't know what to reply to them if they asked any questions. I rushed the
