Devilish secretary - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Pitiful Ray Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Pitiful Ray Ray nodded vigorously, crossing his arms like an offended cat.

“Yes!

It’s totally unfair!

I’ve been here the longest after Alexander and Gray, and yet he gets all the deep, dark secrets!” He huffed.

Lilith smile.

“And you really don’t know why?” Ray puffed his cheeks.

“No!

It’s like he was just born with it.

Like some dark, broody, all-knowing villain character!” He squinted.

“Honestly, I think he’s cheating.” Lilith chuckled.

“Cheating?

That’s not how this works, human doll.” Ray groaned dramatically, pulling away from Lilith and throwing his head back against the pillow.

“Well, it should be!

If anyone deserves to know everything, it’s me!

I was the first personality after Alexander!

I was the cutest!

And do you know how hard it was to learn human things?!” He turned his face towards her, looking utterly betrayed.

Lilith raised an amused brow.

“I can imagine.” “No, no, no, Miss Mystery, you don’t understand.” Ray sat up and gripped her wrist, his expression dead serious.

“I didn’t even know how to use a toilet back then!” Lilith blinked.

And then- She lost it.

A full, rich laugh escaped her lips, her body shaking as she tried to contain it.

“Oh my god, human doll!” She covered her mouth, but her shoulders still trembled with amusement.

“You-what?!” Ray groaned again, flopping onto his side, pulling the blanket over his head like a sulking child.

“It was awful!

Alexander and Gray never let me take control much, so I didn’t know how anything worked.

The first time I had to go-” He peeked out, his cheeks turning a bit pink.

“-I cried.” Lilith wiped the corner of her eye, still giggling.

“And then what?” Ray pouted, looking up at her with big, betrayed eyes.

“Gray had to tell me how to do it.” Lilith clutched her stomach, laughing even harder.

“Oh no-” “It’s not funny!” Ray whined, but his lips twitched slightly.

“Do you know how embarrassing it was?

I thought I was going to die!” Lilith took deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

“I can’t believe this… So, what, did Gray give you a toilet tutorial or something?” Ray groaned, covering his face.

“Yes.

And he would not stop teasing me for weeks after that!” Lilith shook her head, still grinning.

“I swear, you’re the most ridiculous human doll I’ve ever met.” Ray peeked at her through his fingers.

“But you still love me, right?” Lilith smirked and reached out, ruffling his already messy hair.

“Unfortunately, yes.” Ray beamed.

“Then that’s all that matters!” Lilith let out a sigh, still smiling.

“You’re impossible, Human doll.” “And adorable,” he added with a cheeky grin.

Lilith rolled her eyes, flicking his forehead lightly.

“Sure, sure.

Now, let’s focus-tell me more about Darkness.

If he has all the memories, then that means he probably knows the real truth behind everything, right?” Ray’s grin faded slightly.

He sat up, playing with the hem of his hospital gown.

“Yeah… I think so.” His tone was quieter this time.

“But the problem is… he doesn’t share those memories.

Not with me.

Not with anyone.

He just knows things.” Lilith’s brows furrowed.

“That’s strange.

Usually, personalities have to experience things first-hand to remember them.” Ray nodded.

“That’s why I say he’s cheating.” Lilith smiled at that but didn’t comment.

Instead, she aksed.

“So, Darkness was born because of you?” Ray hummed.

“Mhm!” He frowned.

“I think I made him on accident.” Lilith watching the changes in his expression.

He wasn’t his usual bubbly self right now.

There was something off in the way his lips pressed into a tight line, the way his brows furrowed like he was trying to solve a puzzle he couldn’t quite figure out.

“You made him?” Lilith echoed, tilting her head.

Ray nodded, his fingers gripping the blanket on his lap.

“I didn’t mean to… but when the accident happened, it was dark.

I thought I was going to disappear, Miss Mystery,” he whispered.

His voice had an eerie softness to it, something fragile and breaking.

“It was so painful.

I could feel myself slipping away, like I wasn’t real anymore, like I was just… fading.” Lilith’s chest tightened.

She had seen him that night.

Cold.

Bloodied.

Drenched in the rain.

Barely clinging to life.

She took a step closer, her piercing blue eyes locked onto his.

“And then?” she pressed gently.

Ray swallowed.

“Then… he appeared.” His eyes darkened slightly, distant, like he was watching something unfold in his mind.

“I don’t know how, but he took it all-the pain, the fear.

All the things I didn’t want to feel.

And when I woke up in the hospital, he was just… there.

Like he had always been a part of us.” Lilith studied him carefully.

Darkness.

The personality with no name.

The one who claimed he was the real Sebastian.

“And you said he’s younger than you?” she asked.

Ray pouted slightly, clearly unhappy with the fact.

“Yeah!

He’s only one day old… But somehow, he knows everything about us.

All the dark memories, all the secrets even I don’t know exist.” He huffed, crossing his arms.

“How unfair is that, huh?

I’ve been here since we were seven!

And I still don’t know everything.

But he does.” Lilith’s lips curled slightly.

His frustration was cute, but the situation itself wasn’t.

“So, let me get this straight,” she said slowly, placing her hands on her hips.

“Alexander tried to erase you and Gray, and you ran away to protect yourself.

That night, when the accident happened, you were so scared of disappearing that Darkness was created to take over the pain and fear you couldn’t handle?” Ray nodded quickly.

Lilith’s eyes narrowed.

“So, in a way… Darkness was born to survive,” she murmured.

Ray’s pout deepened.

“Maybe… but he’s not like me.

He doesn’t feel things the way I do.

It’s like he’s hollow, but also full of anger at the same time.

He doesn’t want to exist, but he refuses to disappear.” Lilith exhaled slowly.

This was more complicated than she thought.

Alexander, Gray, Ray… and now Darkness.

Each of them had a role.

Each of them had a reason for existing.

And yet, the body belonged to one person.
