Chapter 1Midnight on the River Styx

The day I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, my longtime crush finally confessed his love.

He gathered his friends and family, chartered a luxury cruise ship, and threw a massive engagement party.

Thus began our week-long romantic getaway.

But when midnight struck...

A romantic requiem echoed through the ship...

Lock your door, Ms. Rabbit, cover your face tight.

Your breathing will stop, you won’t toss turning tonight.

Rest in peace, beautiful soul, in the pale moonlight.

Slowly, the number of living people on board began to dwindle.

The day my DID diagnosis became official, my world lost all its color.

Outside, rain poured in sheets. Inside, I stood clutching my medical file, tears streaming down my face.

My parents had kicked me out, and my best friend was ignoring my calls.

Just when I thought the whole world had abandoned me, Cole appeared.

He took me back to the Vance family estate and confessed to me in front of all his friends and relatives:

"Mia, I promise you, no matter what happens, I will never leave you. I love you, and I will love all of your personalities."

Cole’s parents were incredibly open-minded. Flipping through my medical file, they said:

"A famous actress and a psychologist? Such positive personalities! Mia, this just goes to show what a kind-hearted child you are!"

"Exactly! Our son is so lucky. He gets to marry two wonderful girls at once!"

I frantically wiped the tears from my face and forced a smile.

They didn’t know that besides the host personality, I had been diagnosed with a third.

The Rainy Night Butcher.

The moment I touch rainwater, that bloodthirsty version of me is unleashed.

Just like right now.

No one noticed that a page was missing from the medical file.
