Arsen’s eyes widened at her question, then he burst out laughing. He immediately hugged Claire again. “No, you don’t need surgery. You have to believe in yourself—that you’re strong, stronger than all your alter egos—so you can control them.”

“If I may ask, what are my alter egos like? I was once spoken to by a Dutch student in his native language, but I didn’t understand a word. He said that I’d often spoken to him in Dutch before,” Claire asked, pulling away from Arsen’s embrace.

  • His Broken Angel    40. What Claire Truly Felt

    "Claire, I'm so disappointed in you. You've become a murderer!" "Dad, I've never felt like a murderer. I've never done it. Dad! Please listen to me!" "No, Claire. You've betrayed my trust. Now get out of this house! I can't stand to look at you any longer. I’d rather have Sergio than a murderer like you.”“But Dad, I’m not a murderer! I’ve never done it. Don’t believe Sergio, Dad. He’s two-faced! He’s been hating me even though I don’t know what I did to him.”“But all the servants are witnesses, Claire. You’re lucky I didn’t throw you in jail.”“Why are you doing this to me, Dad? Why would you choose to defend that wicked woman? A woman who isn’t even related to me by blood. Where’s your common sense, Dad? Did you forget about Mom that quickly and turn to that woman?" "Get out of this house, Claire, and don’t drag your mother into this! Don’t make me order the bodyguards to drag you out of this mansion." "Dad, I don’t want to! I love you, Dad!" "Get out right now! Don’t make me

  • His Broken Angel    39. Switching Role

    “Rose? How is that possible? Were you the one who tortured Emily too?” Josh asked, confused, his face still facing forward, not daring to turn his head to the side. "Nothing is impossible in this world, honey. As long as God never sleeps, your eyeballs could even move to your feet if He wanted them to." Rose giggled for a moment, making the silence of that night feel strange. "Oh, actually, I really hate torture. But since I found this weapon in the seat crease, I want to mess with you." She laughed happily at having succeeded in scaring Josh. “You’re a total psychopath!” Josh hissed angrily.“Ugh, don’t call me a psychopath. I’d rather spend my time at the salon or sunbathing on the beach than seeing blood. Eww, blood makes me sick,” Rose replied, shuddering. Josh tried to process what Rose had said. This girl’s personality was completely different from the one who had tortured Emily. He saw an opening here to take her down. After gauging the right moment, he grabbed Rose’s han

  • His Broken Angel    38. The Plan Succeeded

    "Are you ready to carry out our plan? I’ve already told Leo and Chloe to set a trap for Arsen tonight," Sergio said, watching Claire as she walked toward the lockers."Yep! I’m going over there first. You should leave if you don’t want Claire to get suspicious about us being together," Josh replied, then walked toward the lockers where Claire was standing. Josh approached Claire with a single rose in his right hand. Once he was right behind her, he held the rose up in front of Claire’s face, startling her so much that she immediately turned around to face Josh.“Josh?” Claire said, furrowing her brow. “A beautiful flower for a very beautiful girl,” Josh said, then winked at Claire.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you flirting with me?” Claire asked, playfully hitting Josh’s arm.He laughed at Claire’s reaction, which still looked startled. “I’ve told you that I love you, Claire. Can’t you tell from the way my eyes always look at you with so much love?” Claire immediately grew som

  • His Broken Angel    37. Rose's Plan

    The anger that had nearly boiled over, slowly subsided and vanished completely after hearing that confession.[There are so many things I want to tell you, son. Can we set aside some time together to share stories? I really miss those days.] Arsen couldn’t hold back his smile this time, not caring that his vision was starting to blur. “Of course! I’ll take a week off and we can tour Portland. I’ll show you the beauty of autumn along the Willamette River. You’ll definitely love it—the air here is so clean and cool.” A chuckle sounded on the other end of the line. [Dad can’t wait to see it. Alright, son. I’m heading out now. The sooner the better, right? See you.] After that, the call ended.“So? What’s up? You look happy,” Leo asked as soon as Arsen moved the phone away from his ear with a broad smile. “Turns out Claire was right. Forgiving and letting go really is very difficult. But once I was able to do it, my heart felt truly at peace,” Arsen replied, his face beaming.Leo gentl

  • His Broken Angel    36. The Phone Call

    Leo clenched his jaw and balled his fists. “You’re a total asshole! You were pretending to be Rose?” James just gave a wry smile. “I could have killed you while you were asleep. Even that guy named Jack.”Leo didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t act rashly when facing James, because it would surely affect Claire. He couldn’t use a weapon. So the only option that crossed his mind was to handcuff James’s hands to stop him from going any further. After a brief scuffle, Leo finally managed to subdue James, though his arm and forehead were slashed by a knife. He was panting as if he’d just run a marathon. It turned out James was getting stronger. James had cursed him with the harshest words, but then lost consciousness after Claire took over. He hurriedly called Paul on his cell phone. “Paul, we’ve got a big problem now.”***Arsen was lost in thought near the glass wall of his apartment. After James had suddenly attacked Andreo by pretending to be Rose earlier, they agreed to give Clai

  • His Broken Angel    35. A Lesson From James

    “Claire, calm down. Don’t force yourself to dwell on the past. Take a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Come on, you can do it,” Paul said, giving her instructions to help her regain her composure.Claire followed the doctor’s advice, just as she had done when she was with Arsen. “Do you feel calmer now?” Paul asked.“My head is spinning so badly,” Claire complained, holding the side of her head.“Alright, you should rest for now. We’ll resume the therapy tomorrow,” Paul said as he took a small syringe filled with clear liquid and injected it into Claire’s arm. “Now we should all leave this room so Claire can rest and clear her mind,” Paul suggested as he packed up his equipment. Leo smiled at Claire briefly, then left the room, followed by Andreo.“You have to be strong, Claire. You have to believe that you can control your alter egos so the therapy process succeeds quickly. The most important thing is to confront James, and you’ll find peace within your heart. Be certain that you a

    After seven hours of working at a restaurant that was always packed with customers, Claire was finally able to go home. She had no choice but to walk to her apartment, since public transportation had stopped running at this hour.Josh couldn’t give her a ride home tonight, and hailing a taxi—which

    Claire blinked, confused by the man’s words. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—I was just in a hurry to get to the café,” Claire said after snapping out of her bewilderment. She didn’t even know the man standing before her, so why was he acting as if he knew her so well? “Oh, my name isn’t Rose.” The

    A week had passed since his encounter with Rose, yet Arsen still couldn’t forget her. Almost every night, he would visit his favorite bar or the places he’d once gone to with Rose, but he never managed to find her. Leo still hadn’t given him any news, and that made him anxious. It was as if she we

  • His Broken Angel    4. She's Disappeared

    "I knew you’d be captivated by her too." Leo’s voice drew Arsen’s attention to the girl. "Who is she?" Arsen asked curiously. "Her name is Rose. She’s every man’s fantasy. But none of those men have ever felt her body," Leo explained, his gaze fixed on Rose. The girl sat at the bar counter, s
