21. Investigate His Girlfriend

Claire slowly opened her eyes and immediately felt pain in various parts of her body. She scanned the room until her gaze settled on the man who had captured her heart.“How are you feeling right now?” Arsen asked with a gentle smile, kissing the back of her hand. “My whole body hurts,” Claire replied with a smile. She watched as Arsen pressed the button next to her bed repeatedly. A few moments later, a female doctor and a nurse entered the room. They gave her a brief smile, then performed the standard checkup typically done after a patient regains consciousness. After the doctor checked Claire’s condition, Arsen immediately breathed a sigh of relief because the doctor had already allowed Claire to go home tomorrow. She just needed plenty of rest and to take the medication prescribed by the doctor, and the wounds on various parts of Claire’s body would heal quickly. Arsen immediately approached Claire, who was staring at him, as soon as the doctor and nurse left. “Claire, you kno

22. It's Getting Confusing

Arsen felt like he was watching a thriller right now. Without realizing it, he held his breath when all that could be heard was silence. His eyes remained fixed on the computer screen, which showed nothing but a highway with many vehicles passing by. Then a woman’s slightly hoarse laugh rang out. Arsen and Freddy got goosebumps hearing that chilling laugh. “You want to play games with me?”Thud! That accent! Arsen had heard it before. The British accent that had come from Claire’s mouth when she was torturing Emily a few hours ago. Suddenly, Arsen’s whole body broke out in goosebumps. His heart was beating twice as fast. “Miss, please release my partner. He’s almost out of breath. You’ll face multiple charges if you end up killing an officer on duty,” one of the officers pleaded cautiously. A snort was heard. “Lucky for him he isn’t blonde.”Then silence. “Mark? Mark, are you okay? Mark!”A groan was heard, followed by a rather violent cough. “Did you knock her out?” “She passe

23. Claire's Weird Behavior

Finally, after spending a day and a night at the hospital, Arsen took Claire back to his apartment. After giving it some more thought, he decided to pretend he knew nothing. After all, it wouldn’t be fair to Claire if he suddenly distanced himself from her. They needed to sort out all these issues and improve their communication so they wouldn’t make hasty decisions. Since he had been bold enough to commit from the start, Arsen had to be brave enough to face everything that happened in their relationship. Before that, they stopped by Claire’s apartment to pick up some clothes and other essentials. She acted just like the Claire he was used to—innocent and often feeling awkward. Arsen felt a moment of relief, because honestly, he wasn’t ready to face a different version of Claire. “Your apartment is really big and luxurious, Arsen. I feel unworthy of being here,” Claire said as soon as they entered Arsen’s apartment.“Leo’s apartment is way more luxurious than this. Just make yours

24. Alter Ego

“Paranoid?” Leo burst out laughing and shook his head. “You spent the night with your girlfriend, and you call that paranoid? What an amazing new word.” Arsen tossed a piece of paper that had been folded so many times it was worn out. “I have a psychopathic girlfriend—oh, no! Is she crazy, or possessed? Ah, I can even see Rose in Claire.” He chuckled, resting his head on the bar counter. “It seems like I’m the one who’s gone crazy here. We didn’t even do anything more than kiss all night—no steamy scenes like most other couples.”Leo unfolded the paper, examining Arsen’s messy handwriting scribbled across it. Rose’s name was listed next to Claire’s. Below them were descriptions of their respective skills, distinctive traits, dislikes, and even the colors of underwear they often wore. He raised an eyebrow and snorted. Then his eyes fell on the name Tatiana beneath Claire’s, and a question mark beneath Rose’s. All four names—including the one with the question mark—had distinct perso

25 Claire's Father's Past

Leo stared at Arsen for a moment before setting the can down on the table. “Rose. She’s Dutch, 24 years old, does whatever she wants, flirty, and she’s the one keeping James from wreaking havoc everywhere. She’s like the one who keeps all of Claire’s alter egos in check so they don’t cross the line.” Arsen froze in his tracks. His image of Rose and Claire as distinct figures suddenly dissolved, replaced by the image of Claire’s face shifting into three other personalities he’d only learned about in the past few days. He shook his head, refusing to believe it. “You said James is British, Tatiana is Russian, and Rose is Dutch. It’s obvious you’re just making up this alter ego nonsense, Leo. It actually sounds more like Claire is possessed by three spirits from three different countries, and the real Claire is always hidden by them. I’m sure that’s what’s happening.” Arsen laughed derisively, then snorted. “Arsen, you have to believe...”“How can I believe you if you’re saying it with

26. The Reasons

“And you pretended not to know him a month ago, but then just let him stay at your hotel? He must have had bad intentions toward Claire, right? After hearing your story just now, I’m convinced he’s just as evil as his mother. He must want to harm Claire too,” Arsen interrupted angrily. He hurriedly grabbed his phone to call Claire, but she didn’t pick up.“Unfortunately, I don’t want to lie to you right now. That man once raped Claire when she was just six years old. Meanwhile, Viviana often abused Claire because of her hatred for the little girl. That’s why Claire developed three alter egos as a form of self-defense. Before my mother died, she took Claire to a psychologist because her behavior was so erratic. Especially after she once injured a maid so badly that the maid was seriously hurt,” Leo explained.Arsen stared blankly at his phone screen, but his mind wandered. He turned to Leo for further explanation. “Why was Claire suddenly with your mother? And how do you know that Se

27. Evil Plan

Josh and Emily had just arrived at Darkest Nightclub, one of the nightclubs in Portland. They made their way through the crowd packed onto the dance floor, swaying their bodies as they watched the strippers perform. They looked around for someone until they finally spotted him on the long sofa in the corner of the room. Emily kept waving back at several people she recognized there as Josh tugged on her arm to get closer to the man.“Ahem.” Josh cleared his throat to draw attention away from the two people consumed by desire. The man with jet-black hair stopped groping the beautiful, sexy girl beside him. He turned to Josh, and his face immediately lit up.“Joshua William! You finally showed up! What’s wrong with your face? What’s wrong with your neck and cheeks?” the man asked in surprise, noticing the bruises on Josh’s face and the bandages on Emily’s neck and face. “My little sister’s crush punched me in the face like a madman, just because I slapped that damn girl’s face. Then t

28. Pretend to be Rose

Emily walked alone toward the empty parking lot without looking back, eager to get to Fireside Grill to meet Arsen. Even though he always rejected her, she refused to give up.She was going to carry out her plan tonight: trap Arsen into sleeping with her and get pregnant, so he would take responsibility and they would be bound by marriage forever. Emily smiled to herself as she imagined her plan going smoothly thanks to the aphrodisiac she’d brought. She hadn’t told Josh or Sergio about this plan, because it was purely her own desire to have Arsen. She was truly obsessed with him and wanted him no matter what. Love had truly blinded her. As soon as she reached her Lamborghini, she bent down to look for her car keys in her small purse. She kept rummaging through the contents of the bag, not realizing that someone was already standing beside her.“Looking for this?” the person asked, flashing a crooked smile and raising an eyebrow. Emily jumped in surprise upon hearing the voice of s

29. James' getting stronger

"Wow!" That was all Freddy could say after hearing Arsen’s story about Claire. "Is that all you have to say?" Arsen protested, looking indignant. Freddy raised both his eyebrows. “Then how am I supposed to respond?” “At least give me some advice. What should I do?” Arsen paced back and forth in Freddy’s apartment living room with his hands on his hips. “I don’t really understand much about alter egos, but I’ve heard you have to be mentally prepared when dealing with someone like that.”“You’re stating the obvious, Fred. Who’s mentally prepared to deal with someone who suddenly acts weird? Most people would just think they’re crazy or possessed.”They fell silent after that. Freddy looked like he was trying to recall something. “Brandon said Claire did seem strange. Her ID card did indeed say Claire, but in the interrogation room, she said her name was Rose. He even felt uneasy when facing her.""Did her behavior just change out of the blue?" Arsen asked curiously. Freddy nodded.

30. Persuasion

Arsen rested his head on the steering wheel after parking his car in the apartment basement. After waking up with his whole body aching and catching Rose returning around 3 a.m., he decided to stay in the car and wait. He should have just ended it all and gone back to living a normal life. He wouldn’t have to feel paranoid when Claire was in his apartment, wouldn’t have to be startled when she suddenly turned into a different person, and wouldn’t have to deal with love anymore.But he couldn’t just walk away from it all, walk away from that girl. After all, ever since Claire and her alter egos had arrived, his perspective on life had begun to shift, little by little. He no longer felt bored with his life, no longer hated autumn, and had begun to forgive his father, even though it was very difficult. So why should he leave that girl just because she has alter egos? If Claire could choose, she would surely want to live happily with her family, not be seen as strange or crazy, and be a
