Meanwhile, Drake, burdened by his own demons, had embarked on a relentless pursuit—not just of her, but of himself. His Dissociative Identity Disorder had controlled him for years, dictated his emotions, fractured his identity.

Drake Mortel had spent the last five years building an empire, expanding his businesses across continents. But no matter how much he achieved, his thoughts always drifted back to her—Gypsy Cameron. He had never stopped following her life from a distance, watching as she pursued her dreams. She had gone on to study medicine at Harvard, specializing in neurosurgery, becoming the brilliant woman he always knew she would be. And while she chased her dream of healing others, he chased his dream of becoming the man worthy of standing by her side.But he no longer hid behind masks.

Drake stirred awake as the golden rays of the morning sun streamed through the bedroom window. The warmth of the light fell upon his face, rousing him from his deep slumber. As his eyes adjusted to the brightness, he turned his head to the side and found Gypsy lying beside him, still fast asleep. Her breathing was soft and even, her bare shoulders rising and falling gently beneath the sheets. For a fleeting moment, he simply watched her, memorizing every delicate feature of her face. Then, unable to resist, he leaned in, intending to place a gentle kiss on her lips.But just as he was about to close the distance between them, her eyelids fluttered open.“Good morning,” he greeted, quickly pulling away.Gypsy didn’t respond. Instead, without a word, she threw back the covers and began gathering her scattered clothes from the floor. The silence between them was deafening as she slipped into her dress, her movements brisk and detached.“Where’s my bag?” she asked, her voice devoid of emot

Gypsy stepped into his house, immediately fanning herself. "I feel hot. Do you not have an air conditioner here?" she asked, her voice laced with discomfort.Drake turned on the air conditioning, setting it to full blast, but it seemed to have little effect. Gypsy still looked flushed, beads of sweat forming on her temples. She shrugged off the jacket he had given her earlier, and to his horror, she looked like she was about to take off even more."Wait! What are you doing?" he stopped her just as she reached for the hem of her blouse."Are you blind? I'm undressing.""But you're in my room."She let out a teasing laugh, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Oh, please. This isn’t the first time we’ve been in the same room without clothes on. Did you forget?"Of course, he didn’t forget. It haunted him, replayed in his mind more times than he’d care to admit. As she stepped closer, he could feel the heat radiating off her. Even in her drunken state, she was undeniably intoxicating.
