Tamed By The Boss

16. Split personality.

“I don't understand what is happening but grandpa, please if you have called me for this, I should leave as I have an important meeting on Skype,” I said with a tight smile.

“And yes, Grandpa, I have sent you some wines at your home, taste those. You are going to feel that you are in your thirties,” I said with a bright smile knowing how my old man loves drinking.

“Asher,” he tried to say something however my father interrupted saying, “Let him go. I would handle his mess as usual.”

I was about to stand but stopped by grandpa who said, “Duke, you should leave instead of Asher. I already talked with you but it seems you don't want to understand the depth of the situation.”

“Also, stop covering your past mistakes. We trio know what result we got because of your mistakes,” grandpa said, looking at me with sadness and tears in his eyes.

Father scoffed and left without saying anything. Grandpa sat near me, keeping his hand on my shoulders.

“It is okay, grandpa. You don't have to feel bad. Moreover, I don't want you to be stuck between your son and me,” I said with a sigh.

“Why can't you control your rage then?” He gave me a tight smile and then bowed his head.

“I am sorry grandpa but he always infuriates me. Didn't you know how he was trying to hurt my feelings?” I blew some air and bowed my head.

I never behave like a jerk with him though I hate his son from the core of my heart.

“Don’t you know the reason?” He said as I gave him a confused look.

“I don't remember doing anything that could be causing him to be mad at me or I guess he is getting mad for no reason,” I rolled my eyes.

“Where were you on 16th November?” He asked with a sigh.

“16th November? I don't remember as two weeks have passed but I guess I might be in my club or my home” I sighed, trying to recollect a specific incident.

However, I couldn't get any incident, rather I remember the 15th November incident. That day I saved Aurora.

“Asher, are you again getting blackouts? Has the problem become severe? Do you need someone to help you?” My grandpa asked in a soft voice as I closed my eyes, recalling my condition.

“Asher, you don't have to hide anything from me as I know everything about your condition. So if there is something, please tell me. I want to help you,” my grandfather said.

I gulped my saliva recalling how sometimes I feel as if I'm somewhere else and doing something different.

Don't know if this thing is real or not, it's my subconscious mind or in reality, but at one moment I'm here and the next second I find myself somewhere else and do something regarding which I remembered nothing, whenever I woke up.

The only thing which I always remember is tiredness which lingers throughout my body.

Does it mean I am again drifting in that horrible situation? No, it can't be. I am meditating regularly.

“Asher?” He broke my trances.

“No, I am fine.”

I had to lie so I couldn't get a kick from the company. I know he loves me but then he loves his business as well. I am sure he is going to choose his business over my feelings.

“Do you know Michael Jordan?” Grandfather asked after some time.

“If you would have asked me about a girl, I might have tried to recall her,” I shrugged nonchalantly, taking a glass of juice.

“Be serious,” he sighed, extending his mobile towards me.

“What?” I narrowed my eyes as there was a photo displayed over his screen.

“I don't remember,” I said but suddenly I recalled he is the same British guy who tried to tease Aurora in Marcus's pub.

To be honest, I wanted to kill him but I got busy with my work. So this man slipped from my mind.

“What happened, Asher? You got something to share,” he asked as he read my face.

“No, but what happened to him? And why are you asking this question from me?” I composed my face and gave him a fake grin.

“Did he do something against me?”

I acted confused so I could understand what all this is about?

“Two weeks ago, he died in an accident. The thing concerning is you threatened him a day earlier. So officers are trying to put a cuff on your hands. That's why I am asking where were you that night?” He said with some doubts over his face.

“I want to help you, Asher, so be honest with me,” he added as I negatively shook my head.

“See I don't know this guy much. It's just he upset me but it doesn't mean I have killed him. You know grandpa, I can be a douche but not a killer,” I sighed, remembering where I was on 16th November but I couldn't recall.

“Do you happen to know any Marcus Melvin?” Grandpa said, giving me another blow.

Marcus, Aurora's boyfriend? Now, what happened to him?

“He is in the hospital and that too after you visited his pub on 16th November,” grandpa said, blowing some air.

“Hang on! I visited his pub on the 15th, not on the 16th. Also, that day I wasn't alone. Someone was with me, I remember after dropping her home, I came to my office.”

“Who was with you? Were you with her on the 16th too?” He arched his brows as I narrowed my eyes.

“Not at all,” I shrugged nonchalantly.

“Asher, we have proof that you visited a pub on the 16th either you are lying or you know what I mean.”

“What?” I squinted my lids as grandpa arched his brows.

“Alvis, the bastard?” I muttered, rubbing my jaws as he nodded. “I don't think so. My condition is in control. If you don't believe me, ask my psychiatrist. She told me that I am in control.”

“Also, as she told me to not take tension, I don't take it,” I sighed.

“Are you sure? So your problem of split personality is in control?” He said without any expression.

I rubbed my hands and felt the heaviness. My head was throbbing badly so my entire body.

“Asher, answer me, are you fine or not? Has Alvis returned? Is he again taking over your body?” My grandfather asked, keeping his hand over my shoulder.

“I have to go now as I recalled my girlfriend is waiting for me tonight,” I stood, holding the table, and walked slowly towards the door.

“No, not today, especially here. I have to be in my senses,” I muttered, rubbing my palm.

“If indeed my second personality has returned, grandpa would be the most dangerous person for me. He wouldn't only send me somewhere but also he would never allow me to come back.

My palm was getting sweaty, and my muscles were getting tightened. I could feel I am losing control.

It was the same feeling that I felt before getting blackouts. It's the same feeling that I was getting five years ago. It's the same feeling that I get whenever Alvis, my other personality, takes over my body.

Yes, I have a split personality; Alvis Nicholas. He is a twenty-four years old guy, he is obsessed with blue and red colors. Also, he is obsessed with me.

I mean he hates me as he thinks I am weak. I need others to support me otherwise I would fall apart.

My thoughts were broken after hitting my head at the pillar.

My eyes were half-opened and my lips were parting slowly. My mobile rang but unlike other times, I couldn't move my hands. I felt like I was frozen.

To be continued.
