21 Dual Personalities

He got into his room, closed the door, and locked it as usual. Even though he was concerned about her who was always there to take care of him when he was sick, he couldn't do the same in return for her.

***

Though killing once wasn't enough to satisfy his mind. Now the thoughts of wanting to get rid of someone was raiding his mind. The sole reason behind him asking Adrienne to Kill someone for him was because he had to keep his mind under control.

Killing 12 was more than enough for him, but now even the thought of blood getting on his hand fascinated him, though he was only getting rid of the scumbugs in the society he was actually going crazy as the time continued to pass.

He sat behind the door as he continued to think about all the matters that were concerning him, but the main problem for him was how he could get out of the mess that he is in.

More than anyone else he knew about the fact that he would get caught sooner or later at this rate. Though he always tried to act like a perfectionist, he couldn't bring himself to be the perfectionist he wanted to be.

He tried to calm himself down but instead fell asleep on the floor without realising, the morning came with a few knocks on his door.

"Master, please wake up! You need to get ready now, otherwise, we will be late." She knocked on his door at 8.00 AM sharp as usual but to her surprise there was no response, before barging in she decided to wait for another few minutes, and then she called him again.

"Master is everything alright! I am coming in," she started counting as usual. Even though she reached 10 he didn't open his door neither was there any response.

She tried to open the door with the key but to her surprise she couldn'the other key was still in the door lock.

Even though her body was aching all over she had no choice but to take care of him. She took a few steps back and kicked the door open, but the door didn't open all the way. The door didn't open all the way as there was a weight behind it.

She managed to push it a little further and get into the room.

All she could see was Adrienne lying on the floor covered in sweat, she put her hand around him and managed to get him on his feet and get him on the bed and cover him with the blanket and rushed outside to get the doctor for him.

Though she couldn't do so for herself, Adrienne quickly called the doctor over for him.

The doctor's diagnosis was non-other than that he was down with a fever, since he couldn't go to work she quickly called and asked others to clear out his schedule for him for the next 3 days.

While the doctor was examining him, she got herself properly dressed and went to get some ice and a towel to wipe his sweat with.

She saw the doctor out and returned back to his room and wrapped a few ice cubes with the towel and gently placed it on his forehead and continued to wipe away the rest of the sweat on his body.

Even though Aiden thought that she wouldn't know about him taking care of him last night, from the first step he took into the room she knew that it was him, and even though he used to be a cold and ruthless young man to everyone else he was someone who could sympathize with anyone anytime.

As she was gradually feeling alright she did mind taking care of him but Adrienne knew more than anyone else that she was the source of his high fever and the worst case being Aiden's immune system being weaker.

If the fever was to get control of his body she knew more than anyone else that he would be in grave danger.

Since she was afraid of his words she didn't dare to move her hands to his chest this time, the words that came out of his mouth the last time were more than rough and being a girl who had protected her dignity all her life amidst the job she did she feared of his words even though they were complete lies.

"Master, please get well soon I am sorry for causing you all this trouble," she said as she sat in the corner of his bed.

"Don't worry you didn't cause me this, actually, it might be me who caused you the fever that you are having now. I was down with a fever before you even realised." Aiden said as he opened his eyes a little.

"Young Master are you alright?" She quickly disregarded the words that he just uttered.

"Yes, I am all right, now get out of the room and take better care of yourself. I can take care of myself, you don't have to do that for me."

"That's fine master, thank you for the kindness you showed to me last night I shall take care of you until you are alright. Nothing can stop me from doing so."

"Well, I am impressed," he said while trying to sit leaning onto the bed frame.

"You can come to the other side of the bed, you are sick too anyways, he said tapping on the bed. There is a lot of space on the other side and I don't think it is alright for me to stay like this."

"Master, is that really you? Did you by any chance hurt your head when you fell onto the ground last night?" She asked confused about his word. These kinds of words that never came out of his mouth in the past scared her more than anything.

"Do I look different? I don't think so. Stop spewing nonsense I am purely offering you some comfort, you can come and lie on the bed and rest. "

"I don't dare to!" Adrienne said as she got off the bed and finally decided to walk out of the room trying to figure out what exactly was wrong.

"Don't leave!" he said.

"Master I don't think this is appropriate, you are my master and I am someone who is supposed to serve you not. Sleeping on the same bed as you are completely out of context."

"What nonsense are you spewing? I am not asking you to sleep with me. I am simply asking you to lie on the other side of the bed and rest. I have pretty enough space on this side."

Their argument continued for another few minutes, but Adrienne's words didn't change. The question that was left with her was whether she should call a psychologist or not but if he was to talk about something else at this rate she knew that he would get into much more serious trouble.

"Come here for a second!" He said bringing back his authoritative voice.

Adrienne quickly walked back to him forgetting everything else, he grabbed her hand dropped the bowl of ice on the floor and pulled her onto him.

"Adrienne believes it or not I am not Aiden!"
