"Woah," Lesley nearly dropped the bag and frappe that she was holding.

Zoe stared at her.

"You look familiar." Zoe smiled upon recognizing her. "The lady with the diamond earrings."

Lesley gaped as he looked at Donovan who must know almost everything about her.

"You said that you would give it to me." Zoe still felt a little dizzy.

"Yeah, I have it."

Zoe raised her arm. "What happened to me? Did I get beat up by those guys instead?" She reached her head.

"That happened weeks ago," Lesley said as she sat on the edge of the hospital bed. "You know me. Right?"

"Yes, that's when I got kidnapped by those armed men. I thought that I had put them all down." She groaned in pain.

"Where did you learn those things?" Lesley asked.

"When I was little, I was taught a lot about it." She smirked. "I'm very proud of it."

"We will take her to our hospital," Donovan said. "Tell the doctor if we can take her out." He told Jace who was behind Lesley.

"By the way, who is this handsome guy?" She asked Lesley.

"Donovan, my brother." Lesley almost rolled her eyes after he answered.

"And you?"

Lesley was very puzzled. "It's Lesley."

"Oh, yes. I remembered. Let me nap for a moment. This body hasn't gotten a nice relaxing sleep."

"I'm your boyfriend," Donovan said as Lesley's eyes widened. Zoe chuckled and shook her head.

Jace gave that 'what the fuck?!' look. Donovan was indeed an opportunist.

"I can sleep with you, but I doubted that I would be your girlfriend."

Donovan's plan might fail but with this personality. The chance of sleeping with her is ninety percent chance but if her personality changes, his chance might fall to forty.

They brought her to the hospital that Donovan owns after he paid for the expenses. The hospital he owns had complete doctors on duty including his psychiatrist. She rested well first for four hours and another doctor came shortly with a notice to her. She had her meal while the dextrose was connected to her. A luxury VVIP room just for her, fully air-conditioned, with television, fridge, dispenser, and mini-kitchen, just like a luxury suite in a hotel.

"Miss Zoe, I'm Doctor Blanche." He extended his hand as she stared at it for a while then she put on a fake smile that almost looked genuine and took it as he shook it. He sat down as she stared at him and shrugged.

"What?"

"I'm a psychiatrist."

"Oh, shit." She cursed. "I don't have money to pay you. I have to seduce the man who brought me here to pay for that. You should ask him about the payment because I can't touch Charlotte's money."

"Oh, interesting." Doctor Blanche smiled. "Are you aware of Charlotte and how about Autumn?"

"Of course, she's the source of everything. But Autumn earns more money." She smirked. "I know what you need. Information regarding Charlotte's matter. No. I can't tell you anything, but at least you know that I exist and Autumn."

"Then, tell me about yourself." Doctor Blanche said.

"You are straightforward, doctor." She finished her meal. "Can you please give me some dessert? Not too sweet."

The man stood and went to the fridge and turned to her when he found nothing. 

"Sorry,"

"Oh, shame." She rolled her eyes as she pushed away the tray. "Give me a bathroom break." She took her IV and went to the bathroom.

Doctor Blanche waited patiently for Zoe after he asked Donovan for dessert. Not too sweet. It took ten minutes for her to go to the bathroom and shortly, she came back, climbed up on the bed, and hung the IV. Then, she sat down and fixed the sheets.

"Alright, where are we?"

"I wanted to ask. When do you usually appear as Zoe? Do you perhaps have a journal?"

"Hmm," Zoe shrugged. "I don't do journals~~wait… oh, I do. But I won't tell. I only come whenever she's at her lowest. I am more confident than any of them. Besides, I can seduce men while they can't." She said proudly.

"Why, Zoe?" Doctor Blanche gets more interested.

"What do you mean why?"

"Why are you trying to be Zoe? Can you just leave Charlotte alone?"

Zoe scoffed as she shook her head.

"If I wasn't here, she might have already killed herself. We might be already dead by now."

Doctor Blanche was surprised but he made sure that their conversation was recorded.

"Now, Doctor Blanche. I'm tired, but I want to walk off the food that I ate."

"We can walk outside." He suggested.

"No. Let's keep that in suspense. I don't want to reveal anything about us." She smirked as she slipped off and put the robe on that the hospital provided. She couldn't slip the left arm because of the dextrose so, she held it, put her slippers on, and walked off.

To her surprise, Lesley was outside waiting. She smiled charmingly at Lesley.

"Where are you off to?" Lesley asked.

"Just for a walk. I need to exercise." She smiled at her.

"But you have a fever."

"I'm fine, pretty lady." Zoe winked and extended her hand. "You can walk with me."

Lesley flushed as she nodded like a little girl and held Zoe's hand while she was dragging her IV.

Donovan and Jace nearly gaped at Zoe's attitude. She's casually seducing Lesley. Just like that. Donovan felt a little angry. He wanted Zoe or Charlotte or whoever she was to seduce him like that. But he will use his charm later. He's sure that Zoe will find him attractive.

"Sir, I need to speak with you." Doctor Blanche approached Donovan.

He went to Doctor Blanche's office as he played the recorder. They had thought that maybe Charlotte was suffering from depression until Zoe came up. But they need to learn more about Zoe, Charlotte, and Autumn. The reason why Charlotte survived was because of these personalities. The personalities might trigger in a very specific situation. Charlotte on the other hand had a fever, the fever might be caused by her PTSD. But they need to check further.

"She looked fine right now," Donovan said. "Physically." He crossed his arms.

"Yes, we need to learn more about her past. We need to speak to Charlotte herself. Since Zoe won't tell everything."

He nodded his head.

"Based on the reports you dug, I think she stopped her session because of money."

"Yes, that is why I brought her here. She rejected any help to provide. Forcing her was good enough."

"Hmm," Doctor Blanche sighed. "It's not good to force someone. Anyway, I will start with her session schedule. It's best if she won't get stressed too much."

"Hmm,"

"Donovan, please don't make it hard for Charlotte. Let her decide."

"I will think about that." He stood and went outside to the garden. It's already afternoon and they were supposed to go clubbing. Lesley insisted on Charlotte so they were about to go to the Club.

"When can I have this removed?" She asked. "I'm fine. I already sweat and I want a nice shower. We can have a bath together!" Zoe said and reached Lesley's hands. Donovan frowned and reached Zoe's waist.

"We can bathe together." He said as Zoe smirked and pressed her hand on his chest.

"Sneaky, yes we can do that."

Lesley frowned at her brother and shook her head. Donovan bent down to kiss her but Zoe stopped his lips.

"I haven't brushed my teeth."

"It was fine with me," Donovan said, which made Lesley and Jace cringe as they looked at each other. Donovan doesn't kiss around. That's what they knew.

"Hmm," she winked at him as she reached Lesley's hand. "Let's leave this place."

Lesley sneered at her brother, satisfied with Zoe's reaction as they went back upstairs. Zoe brushed her teeth and changed her clothes. Lesley mentioned clubbing and Zoe was up for it.

"I would love that. But I don't think I have any clothes for clubbing."

"Don't worry, I got you. You will make my brother droll."

Zoe faced the mirror and asked for a lip balm as Lesley rummaged through her purse and gave it to her. She fixed her hair and they walked out of the private room.

"Uh, how am I gonna pay~~"

"Don't worry. We own the hospital."

"Oh," She nodded her head. "So, the psychiatrist a while ago was also your employee?"

"Yes,"

"Oh, how rich are you?"

"I can give you a lot of diamond earrings." Lesley grinned.

"Very tempting. But I think when Charlotte woke up, she would give it all back. Now, let's party."

When they arrived at the house, Lesley escorted her to the room that they provided for Charlotte. Zoe quickly went through the closet.

"Everything here is yours."

"Nice." Zoe smirked.

"Now, I'll get ready and be with you shortly. You can now have your bath." Lesley chimed. She can't help but hop in excitement.

"Great."

Zoe pulled her shirt up as Lesley quickly left the room and dashed to her room. She didn't realize that Donovan had sneaked in and locked the door. He went to the walk-in closet and watched Zoe stripping. She smirked at him.

"Wanna bathe with me?" She asked.

"Yeah," His mouth watered at seeing her front naked with only a bra. She tilted her head and admired his expression.
