Chapter 631:

Nicole turned toward him and saw pain reflected in his dark eyes. He dropped his gaze, then looked back up. “Why must we live separate lives? Can’t we be together? I want to share a life with you. What must I do to make that happen? I don’t want to be apart from you.”

He poured out his feelings all at once, leaving her overwhelmed. It was the first time she had heard him say so much, as if he truly feared losing her. Even his breath came cautious and uneven.

A mist of tears blurred his eyes, stubborn and unyielding. Nicole’s brow furrowed again, unsure of what to say.

Before she could answer, his expression shifted. The fear in his eyes gave way to something darker, his voice dropping to a hoarse and threatening whisper. “Is it because of Aidan?”

Nicole blinked, confusion clouding her mind. A sudden tightness gripped her chest. How could she possibly explain that he was Aidan himself?

He took her silence as confirmation. His eyes narrowed, and his Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed hard. He pressed her further, his voice carrying a sharp edge, “Coco, are you choosing Aidan over me?”

Coco? Her heart skipped a beat. The way he said the name made her cheeks flush. Marc had called her that before, but hearing it from Aidy was entirely different. His voice held a mix of desire and menace, and his gaze grew clouded.

She swallowed, feeling the weight of the moment. Aidan would never call her that in such a way.

Suddenly, a wave of unease crept over her, a silent warning of danger closing in.

Drawing in a steadying breath, she hurried to soothe him, fearing he might lose control. “No, no, that’s not true. Aidan’s just a fool. Why would I ever leave you for him?”

Panic overwhelmed her at that instant. When Aidan’s condition improved and his alternate personality never surfaced again, she planned to record this moment and show it to him. He owed her for the emotional turmoil!

“Really?” he murmured, his voice low and suspicious, his eyes locked onto her lips.

“Really. I wouldn’t lie to you,” Nicole answered calmly, nodding in assurance.

Aidan reached out and gently brushed his hand against her soft cheek. His eyes darkened, and his voice softened to an almost obsessive whisper. “Then tell me, what must I do to keep you by my side forever?”

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. That look in his eyes was not Aidy’s. It was Aidan’s. Yet this version of him seemed more possessive and unstable than the usual Aidan.

But in that moment, it was Aidy. Could it be that when Aidy felt overwhelming fear and uncertainty, a third personality took over?

Earlier, he had stopped calling her Nikki and had begun using the name “Coco.” He also no longer identified himself as Aidy. If this was truly a third personality emerging, it meant his condition was deteriorating.

She refused to let that happen. Taking the lead, she wrapped her arms around him, hoping to ease his mounting restlessness. Tilting her head, she met his gaze and gently caressed his back, trying to soothe him.

“You don’t need to do anything. I’m right here with you. I’m not going anywhere. Aidy, please be good. Don’t overthink things. Let’s go take a shower, okay?”

His cold hand traced a slow path down her cheek, gently grazing her lips. His rough fingertips pressed against them firmly but not harshly.

Nicole was acutely aware of the roughness of his touch and the intensity burning in his eyes. Her heart began to race.

He slowly licked the raindrops from his lips, swallowing with effort. The possessive gleam in his eyes deepened as he suddenly leaned in closer.
