"No." She shake her head. "I know my son."

"Why would you think Rose and Paul is together?" Nathalie ask.

Ballie sips on her water and explains, "Paul came home a few months ago and I've never seen him so happy. He said he met someone and her name was Rose. He even had pictures. Later, he came home again and said that it didn't work out with you. I told him to keep fighting that it would get better and if not he would find someone else."

"A few weeks later... because my boy always make time to come home. He said you two were officially together."

I look towards Nathalie in shock. Why would Paul lie to his mother? He could have anyone. I didn't understand.

"I start to notice changes in him slowly. Then I got a called from his doctor telling me he hasn't refilled his prescription for his medication in weeks."

"Medication?" Nathalie ask. "Why is Paul taking medication."

"Paul suffers from Dissociative identity disorder."

I look at Ballie in confusion. I was about to ask what does Dissociative identity disorder means but Nathalie cuts me off and say, "Split personality disorder?"

"Yes." Ballie confirms.

I dial Austin number but he wasn't picking up and that was very unusual. "Shit." I say. Nathalie paces the room and Ballie explains, "He's suffered from this condition since he was a child but it has never been this bad. The medication has always helped. He tells the therapist that the voices are gone."

"Voices?" Nathalie pushes. "I didn't know Paul went to therapy. He has always seem like the normal one out of all of us. Actually he always seem perfect until Rose came around."

"Yes. That is my son. He has to be in control and he wants everything to be perfect because he never wants anyone to know the truth about his condition and I respect that. People are mean and evil. This is why I pushed him to always take his medication and everything would be fine."

"Could he possibly suffer from obsession?"

"Rose!" Nathalie calls.

"I'm serious." I say. "Maybe I've been the problem all along. Paul has been trying to get with me for a while now. At first I thought it was his pride that is why he did the things he did. But, now that I think about it... he continued to do horrible things to us. He exploit our secrets. How could he know about you and Viv?"

Nathalie look away in shame but I didn't care about that right now. "Did Viv tell him?" I ask her.

"No. She wouldn't." Nathalie answers.

"That mean he has been watching us." I conclude. "The pictures that was sent to the press has Paul name all over it. Why would he spend so much time trying to destroy us?

"So, he could have you." Nathalie answer. "He hasn't done anything to hurt you Rose. He loves you."

I swallow in panic.

Someone knocks on the door and Nathalie hurry and answer the door and Miranda Grayson walks in with grace and elegance. She was wearing her typical pants suit and she didn't look happy at all.

"Where is Sam?" She growls annoyed.

"She's not here." I say but Miranda storms past me and look into all the rooms. I roll my eyes annoyed. What is with everyone thinking everyone is at my place. I follow behind her and say, "She isn't here."

Miranda fold her arms impatient. "She is not at home and I keep calling her and she's rejecting my calls. So, I came here."

"Wait." I pause. "How do you know where I live."
