Chapter 4 FOUR..

Aiden who just closed from work and he was about to get into his car when his phone began to ring and it was an unknown number, sighing he pressed the receive button and put the phone near his ears. "Hello" "Doctor Aiden" came Clarrisa's voice from the other end. "Who is this? I don't think I have this contact" Aiden was not sure who was on the line. "Pardon my manners doctor, I stole your contact from my fiancé and i just wanted to ask you something" "Clarrisa?" He was not sure.

"Actually, sorry to call so late but i just wanted to ask you something" The man leaned on his car while placing his phone on the other ear, "Tell me" "Is Alex still taking his medications?" "What do you mean, ma'am?" "Ummm" Clarrisa paused, she didn't want to sound like she was prying into Alex's private life but she really wanted to know. She wanted to be sure If the love he was showing towards her was genuine. " The thing is, my fiancé has been behaving weird like he is being extra loving and sensitive towards me so I wanted to know if he is still taking his medications or..." her voice trailed off and Aiden couldn't help but sigh. He for one never liked Clarrisa either but he never showed it. To him, she was self conceited and nasty but this was a thought he always kept to himself. "Ma'am" he began to talk after a while, "I believe Alex is in a better position to tell you if he is still taking his medications or not, I am his doctor and it is a right that I must keep my patient's information confidential and with that I can not tell you" "Oh I see" her voice was laced with a hint of disappointment, "thank you for your time" and like that, Clarrisa ended her call while Aiden rolled his eyes before boarding his car. By the time he got to Alex's new house, it was already past four in the evening and the man was on his couch with a bottle of wine twirling in his hand. Aiden didn't even look surprised to see him, he knew Alex was obsessed with this house the moment he came here. "I wasn't expecting you until later," Alex said from where he was seated. "For a man who stays alone in this kind of a house, I sure need to be weary of myself" Aiden added before perching on the sofa near him. "Wine?" "Not at all" the doctor answered, "are you okay by the way? Your fiancé called me" This piqued Alex's interest and he finally turned his attention to his doctor. "What did you say?" "Clarrisa called me and she was asking if you were still on medication, she wanted to know why you have been behaving all lovey dovey towards her and...." What he was saying made Alex to cackle, was Clarrisa kidding him right now? "Did she really do that?" He couldn't help but gulp his whole drink down, "she could have just asked me right? Why would she go calling you?" His laughs continued to intensify and Aiden couldn't help but feel worried. "Are you even okay, Alex?" "Why?" Alex stood up and walked over to his wine rack before pouring himself another glass and he went back to his seat, "Do you think I have also lost it? The real reason why I am here?" "Sorry" "Let's talk about why you are here, Aiden" Alex announced after a while, "I don't want to bore myself with the talks about Clarrisa and anything that concerns her" "Of course" Aiden stood up and walked over to the wine rack too, "I might need a drink" he took a whole bottle of vodka before going back to his seat. "So tell me Alex, what nonsense you were speaking about yesterday" "First and foremost, I am not Alex" He figured it would be better he told Aiden the truth before he could ask for help. Not like he couldn't take Gerald down on his own but he needed all the help he could get and right now he was fighting with his "supposed" best friend. "What do you mean?" Alex closed his eyes for a while before opening them again, this time he placed his wine glass on the table before turning his gaze back to Aiden. "I am not Alex, In Fact I am Jayden and I kind of woke up in Alex's body a few months ago" "Wait, I don't even understand what you are trying to say" a look of confusion was hovering over his face, "what are you trying to say?" "Listen to me doctor and perhaps you will understand what I am trying to say" "Oh, okay" Aiden nodded and Alex continued his conversation. "Remember the family that lived here before they were supposedly involved in an accident and Gerald got everything?" "Hmmm, the Baxter family" "Yes, I am the son of that family" "What?" Aiden's eyes opened as wide as saucers, "what are you trying to say? "I am Jayden and a few months ago, precisely the day Esmeralda called you over I magically woke up in Alex's body after I might have been dead for ten years" The glass Aiden was holding immediately fell out of his hand and his mouth hung open in awe, did he hear right? "What?" Alex sighed while massaging the space between his brows. For a man who was a doctor, Aiden was reacting way too much. "Can you listen to me doctor?" "Yes" he answered almost in a whisper, "I am listening to you" "I woke up in his body and I find out that the man who is about to become my father in law is the same man who massacred my family ten years ago and had me run over by a car and my body thrown into the ocean and now I trying to take revenge on him" For a moment Aiden was speechless, he had heard about people going mad but this was the first time he was experiencing it firsthand and man it was not funny. "Have you taken your medicine today?" This was the only thing he was able to ask and Alex had a "what the fuck" look on his face. "You think I am joking?" "This is the most insane thing I have ever heard, Alex" The man scoffed and stood up, he walked over to Aiden and bent down in front of him with a sly smile across his face. "You think I will waste my time calling you here and make up this cock and bull story? You actually think I have time for that?" "But..." the words hung in Aiden's throat when he realized what was happening and the look of fear on his face was priceless, "You mean you are a ghost?" Alex shrugged, "technically" "Oh my gosh!!!!" He screamed and pushed the man away, this was the most ridiculous thing he has ever heard or seen and his actions made Alex laugh a little even if he didn't want to. He finally stood up and went back to his chair, "Bianca took it better than you" "Bianca knows?" "Yeah, of course" "So you are saying you are the son of the Baxter family and you somehow woke up in the body of Alex? Like the real Alexander chase?" "Absolutely" "Then where the heck is he?" Alex shrugged again, "I don't know, I think he will be back" This was one hell of a story and Aiden was still finding it hard to believe, this only happens in movies but here he was, then it struck him. "Did you say Gerald killed your family?" "You heard right" "Wait, I heard the whole family was involved in an accident on Christmas Eve, so...." His voice trailed off when reality dawned on him, "it was all a lie?" "Gerald is a bastard Aiden and that is why I must take him down no matter what, I can let him go Scot free for what he did to my family" Alex announced through gritted teeth, "he is the bane of my existence" "So all this is just a show? You are marrying his daughter and...." "Alex is the one marrying her, I don't like her and I never will. She irritates me and I hate her" "Ouch, that is bad" "So are you in or out?" "Pardon" "Will you help me or not?" Alex stated. "I am still finding it hard to believe Alex, I mean where is the real Alex?" Jayden sighed, even Bianca didn't ask so many questions. "I don't know Aiden and I don't know when he will be back but I must make sure I get my revenge on Gerald before that happens and that is why I must make haste" "But...." The doctor tried to talk but he was interrupted. "Look doctor, you can get to know everything about me as time goes on but now is not the time for you to ask me a thousand and one questions, I do not have that time. Just know that I am not Alex and I do not need to keep taking his medications" "Sure" he nodded, he was already having a headache just listening to all the stories. "So will you help me?" "Where exactly do I come in, Alex or should I call you Jayden? "On my wedding day, I want you to break into the Gerald mansion when no one is around" Alex announced and the doctor went silent.
