Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe jerked awake. “I killed someone. I killed someone." She looked around, realizing she was lying on a comfy couch.

Chloe shot upright, staring at her hands and mumbling, "I killed someone. I killed someone."

The memory of killing Linda kept bombarding her mind, making her thoughts race and her breathing quicken.

A cup of warm milk appeared in front of her, and a soothing voice followed. "You didn't kill anyone. You just had a hallucination because of your condition."

Chloe held her face, sighing in relief. "I thought I'd really killed her."

She took a moment to calm down, then accepted the milk from the man. "Dr. Winston, how did I get here?"

Winston replied, "You called me before your episode, and I tracked your location. When I found you, your car was parked by the roadside, and you were semi-conscious."

Chloe couldn't remember any of it.

After a pause, she said, "I'm out of meds. Could you prescribe me some more?"

"Of course," Winston said. "Your condition has been stable for a long time. What triggered this episode? Was it the diary?"

When Winston found Chloe, she had been clutching a diary tightly.

He offered the diary to her. "Don't worry, I haven't read it."

Chloe didn't take it. "You can read it. It might help with my treatment."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Winston was Chloe's psychiatrist and the only person who knew everything about her-whether it was the sexual assault she suffered, the drama with Lucas and Linda, or the 'Trophy Boy' boyfriend she had three years ago. She had no Secrets from him. But since her condition stabilized, they hadn't been in touch for months.

Winston put the diary away. "Alright, I'll keep it for now."

Chloe seemed more awake. "Where's my phone?"

Winston handed her bag to her.

Chloe checked her phone. It was already four in the morning. She was shocked, "I slept that long?"

Winston said, "You woke up once. Your dissociative identity disorder acted up, and you tried to kill me. I had to give you a sedative."

Chloe not only had depression but

also mild dissociative identity

disorder. Including today, it had only flared up twice. During an episode Chloe would lose herself, lose

el

control, and sometimes exhibit other

personalities, with no memory

afterward.

The first episode was the night she attempted suicide. She didn't remember how she'd done it.

Chloe didn't realize Linda's diary

would trigger her dissociative

identity disorder. She didn't think her

resilience was that weak. The only possibility was that her condition had worsened.

Chloe looked up, her eyes falling on Winston's neck. There was indeed a red mark. So, the hallucination of killing Linda wasn't just a hallucination. "I'm sorry, Dr. Winston."

Winston adjusted his glasses, smiling warmly and making Chloe feel at ease. “There's no need for apologies between us."
