Reclaiming Her Heart

Christopher's alter ego finished the drink in his glass and planned to take a nap on the couch.

At midnight, he suddenly woke up, got up to make some food in the kitchen, and brought it to the room where Selena was locked.

Selena was still sitting on the floor and frowned when she saw him come in. He pulled her up, led her to a nearby chair, and placed the tray on the table. "Eat something first." His tone was gentle as he pulled out the chair for her. Selena looked at Mario in confusion, wondering if he was out of his mind.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Christopher looked at him, lowering his eyelashes with a hint of bitterness. "Selena, things are too complicated. I don't know how to explain it to you. Just think of it as someone with a bad temper living in my body," he explained. Selena said nothing.

Christopher raised his hand, wanting to comfort her, but he had lost that right. His hand hovered in the air before he silently withdrew it. "There are people everywhere outside, so you can't leave for now. But I'll help you. Eat something first, and I'll figure out who this person inside me is," he said.

Selena thought he was joking. What did he mean by someone living in his body?

Christopher moved closer, slowly squatted down, looked up at her, and said gently, "I won't hurt you, and I definitely won't hurt Raymond."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice in Christopher's mind spoke up, "Sanctimonious, Christopher. If I am your second personality, then I was triggered because you were unwilling. Unwilling that Raymond now has everything that belongs to you and is making love to your lover."

Christopher ignored the voice and just looked at Selena.

Selena also looked down at him, and at that moment, she felt that this was the Mario she knew.

But she was caught up in all this and still didn't know what was going on.

Christopher stood up and patted her shoulder in a gentlemanly manner. "Eat something first. Even if you want to resist, you need to take care of your body."

Selena lowered her eyelashes and silently picked up the spoon.

Christopher's cooking was good, at least she was satisfied with the meal.

After she finished eating, Christopher collected the empty plate onto the tray and pointed to the bathroom in the room. "Take a bath and rest well."

Selena said nothing and looked at him suspiciously.

Christopher didn't say much. After leaving the room, the voice of his alter ego sounded in his mind again. "If you try to team up with Raymond, I'll kill Selena the moment I take control of this body." Christopher knew his alter ego could really do it.

He raised his hand to rub his brow. "I won't go to Raymond. I just want to go abroad to investigate some things."

"Christopher, I don't want to go abroad."

"Don't you want me to conduct experiments for you so you can fully control this body? Only large research institutes abroad can carry out such experiments," Christopher said. "Then I have to take Selena with me," Christopher's alter ego declared stubbornly.

Christopher raised an eyebrow and, after a long pause, asked, "Are you planning to use her to threaten me, or is this just for your own selfish reasons?"

"What selfish reasons could I have?"

Christopher said nothing more. He knew that even if he asked his alter ego to release Selena now, it would be futile.

This incident had come out of nowhere, and even William was involved.

Christopher sat on the nearby couch and sighed deeply.

Christopher reflected on his recent meetings with William.

In the past, after accepting a national mission and having his identity exposed at the research base, he was subjected to live human experiments by those people.

Recently, he and his alter ego had been learning more and more about each other, and Christopher's alter ego had acquired some knowledge about live human experiments. After William was captured, Christopher's alter ego told William about the tortures he endured in the lab.

These hands, used for experiments, had been pierced countless times.

This once beautiful skin had also been punctured countless times.

Live human experiments were banned worldwide because they violated humanitarian principles.
