“Someone out there! Let me out!” Sherly shouted.Every time she slammed onto the door, the maids who were guarding outside her room flinched.“If you don’t open this, you’re all dead!” Sherly threatened.One of the maids felt really scared at Sherly’s warning. She moved towards the door while holding the key to the lock. But before she could unlock it, someone stopped her. It was Maid Cris.Cris shook her head as if to tell her that she should not open Sherly’s room.Even though Sherly is their superior, they cannot go against Finn’s order.The order is clear.[“My wife is out of her mind. Don’t let her escape from her room.”]If any of them goes against Finn’s order, then they will be in danger.Therefore, the frightened maid only walked backward and endured hearing Sherly’s shout.Sighing, Cris stared at the door of the room.Inside the room, Sherly was sitting behind the door. She was catching her breath as she was tired shouting and slamming the door.On the floor, Sherly looked a
One night, years ago, when the rain was pouring hard and thunder cracked the sky, Sorren got out of his car. Harriet took him inside the mansion with an umbrella. “Chairman, please change your clothes as soon as you go inside. You might catch a cold.” Sorren looked at the young lady who was also soaked in rain. Laughing, he responded, “You should go and take a bath, my dear. You look more vulnerable than me.” Harriet only chuckled. “Go on. Hurry and change. This old man will take care of himself,” Sorren said. “Then, I will go now. Please rest well, Chairman.” “Harriet, didn’t I tell you not to call me in that endearment when we are inside the mansion?” Smiling, Harriet said, “Sorry, grandpa.” The Chairman patted Harriet’s head. Harriet bowed her head and then walked back to her room. Chuckling, the chairman was about to head over his office when he saw the mud on the floor. Along with it, there was Finn’s secretary who was cleaning the mud. “Hey,” Sorren called. The secr
Dissociative identity disorder, or Multiple personality disorder, is a mental health condition in which a person has two or more separate identities. The personalities control someone’s behavior at different times. Each identity has its own personal history, traits, likes and dislikes. DID can lead to gaps in memory and hallucinations where a person believes that something is real when it isn’t. In Finn’s case, he has two identities. The “core” which is his usual personality. And the “Alter” named Victor, the alternate personality. Victor is 60-year-old and a father who believes that he could protect Finn from the other people. He was created in Finn’s mind to get rid of the loneliness Finn had when he was young. Since Finn thought that he lacked affection, an imaginary father named Victor came into his life and vowed to protect him like a parent. However, Victor was a selfish personality. He taught Finn that the only way to get rid of his loneliness is to eradicate those who aband
Using Finn’s face, the alternate personality Victor, went to the mansion’s security system room. The room was empty when he went there. As he walked inside the room with multiple screens hung on the wall, Victor locked the door. The plan to assassinate Finn’s father to protect his secret will only be successful if there was no evidence left. “Let’s erase everything,” Victor hummed as he looked at the footage which was recorded by the CCTV cameras on the hallway of the mansion. He replayed all the footage and was about to delete them, but he stopped when he saw something interesting. At morning, there are three people who visited the Chairman’s office. First was Harriet, second was Reese, Madell was the last one. After that, Finn went to the Chairman’s room. If the Chairman would die today, there would be four suspects. Victor looked at the screen. Currently at that time, he saw Harriet walking inside the Chairman’s room. A wide grin appeared on his lips. “We only need one sacri
A week ago, Zion met with the owner of Elona boutique. Sitting across Zion, Elona smiled. She stared at the young man who resembled his parents, the handsome Finn and the gorgeous Sherly. Then, with a grin on her lips, she said, “It seemed that everyone from that family came and visited my shop. The father, the mother and the daughter. And now, It’s you. It made me feel like I am already part of the family.” Zion observed Elona’s sneer before he mimicked her expression; the kind of beam that wouldn’t reach the eyes. “To be a real part of our family, meeting my father, mother and sister isn’t enough. There is one person you should meet,” Zion responded. “Do you mean you?” “Somehow. But there’s one more person. That’s the head of the house, my Grandpa, the Chairman of Fantell group.” Elona stopped for a moment before she chuckled. “Wait a minute. Is that a threat? Did you come here to threaten your father’s mistress?” “No. Even if you are his real mistress, I wouldn’t waste my
Sorren called Finn after meeting Elona. The prosecutor was still interrogating Madell, and Reese was on the run. Yet, Sorren does not want another day regretting not knowing the truth. More than the corporation’s reputation, Sorren prioritized saving his son from the nightmare and protecting the people around him. Thus, he sat in front of Finn, with Jasmine tea settled on the center table. No one took a sip as they talked in silent arguments with their eyes. Just like in the original future. “Why did you call me? I was very busy, father. Also, it is also weird for you to look for me when I know how much you hate me.” “Why did you do that, Finn?” Sorren asked. Finn stared at his father and tilted his head. “What do you mean?” Sorren gritted his teeth as he stared at his son. “Why did you kill Diana?” Finn’s eyes widened. He lowered his head and acted, “I don’t know what you are talking about. Diana left me a long time ago. She’s not dead!” “W-What?” Then with his head ha
Harriet’s POV It’s been one month since that day. I would never forget the time I saw the truth in my own eyes. That moment when Zion was begging his father to come back. [“Poor child. I did my best. But I guess you are more qualified to teach him.”] Those were the murderer's last words before disappeared. All along, we suspected Sherly, Finn, Madell or Reese. In the end, we discovered that the murderer was neither of them, but residing in one of them. It was Finn’s personality, Victor. When Cassius and I arrived in the mansion to save the Chairman, we only saw Grandpa gasping for air on the floor while holding his neck, and Zion begging his father. It was quite a sight to remember; the sight where the future changed and no one died. The Chairman was taken to the hospital. Finn either, before the police took him and interrogated. When Grandpa regained his consciousness, he told us everything, from the fact that Victor killed Diana in order to protect the police. Until now, Gran
Harriet couldn’t sleep well that night. She rolled onto her bed, thinking how and when would Cassius propose to her. She was very excited. “You look like you’re in a good mood,” Astell noticed while eating breakfast with his daughter. Harriet smiled at him and said, “Yes. It is because I found something that I shouldn’t see. Now, I am excited.” Astell chuckled. Despite everything that happened lately, he was glad that his daughter is feeling alright. “What is your plan today?” Astell asked. “I am going to check the new project you are working on. You told me to learn more, so I am doing my best to follow your steps, father.” “Really? I don’t want to force you to take this path. If you want something to achieve, you can have it.” “No, father. Ever since I worked as Grandpa’s secretary, I knew that I love this job. Please, let me enjoy learning from your line of work.” At first, Astell doubted if Harriet would really like to continue his journey as the owner of Wyatt corporation
