Harrison immediately went inside his car and he didn't wait for his mother and also for his private lawyer. He drove too fast. His face is like a mercury thermometer, while he is boiling to disappointment and anger, his face turning slightly red.
He couldn't accept his defeat and it crumpled his ego and pride. He was expecting that his evil plan would make Hale's life a living hell. He carefully planned for this just to make sure that that trainee would never come back again to his company. The school has full trust in him that all of the students having a work immersion in his company would pass the evaluation and even graduate.
His head is spinning right now. He lost some idea of how to vanish that trans to his territory. He hates Hale so much, that he is irritated looking at him. For him, he is such a weirdo. When he touched his shoulder, he felt like he was being splashed with acid, and made him feel the heat.
"Dammit! Traffic is killing me again! Just fucking ashoole!" He pushed the horn and punched the door.
His blood pressure is rising, he really dislikes waiting too much to get the highway clear and smooth for driving. He picked up his tumbler to sip a little amount of water. Due to his unnecessary move, he got choked and coughed dramatically then caught his breath.
"Why didn't the sign turn red? It's been ten minutes. What is going on?"
He forced himself to be patient. After another shot of waiting, the lane got cleared. He raises the speed of his car until he immediately reaches his house. He is longing to drink a rum to sprinkle his broken heart. Today is a bad day for him, he needs to enjoy it by doing his habit.
The maid heard the horn outside the gate. She was busy in the garden taking care of the flowers.
"Lando, open the gate!" she commanded the security guard who sleeps on the breakfast table.
Harrison pushed the horn button again. "Hey! Where are the security guards here? Have you heard the horn, haven't you? Bullshit!"
Lando was approached by Manang, the grandmaid of Fuentabella's residence. "Lando! Why are you sleeping during working hours? You open the gate! Get quick!"
The available security guard yawned and came to his senses. He realized that he was on duty and Harrison was waiting outside. He ran and opened the gate to let the car in.
Harrison went ahead to the kitchen then got the glass and poured a rum. He drank it without ice cubes and it made him cough.
"Shit! Why this drink is insane to me as well!"
He walked fast to go to his room. By his carelessness and making such rush movements, he slipped on the third level of the stairs.
Manang saw him roll from the stairs until falls on the floor. She panicked and approached him to check if he was breathing.
"Oh god! Lando! Lando, call an ambulance!"

After a few days...
"How are you, my son?" Allena asked about the situation of Harrison while he was touching his head of him.
"W-W-Where am I? Why is this place so familiar?" Xander was confused.
"You are in a hospital, Harrison. Are you not aware that you fell on the stairs a few days ago?"
"H-H-Harrison? Who is Harrison? And why are you calling me with that name? It's been a mystery to me in that name even before I heard it."
His mother got confused as well. "What is happening to you? Why are you acting like this?"
"You don't understand me, Ma. I am not Harrison, my name is Xander! Why is it so hard for you to understand? And by the way, you are still not answering my question. Who the hell Harrison is?"
Maurice is not ready yet to reveal the truth. She is planning to make an excuse. She is aware that Xander is alive and has a mental condition. That is one of the reasons she changed the name of his son to avoid triggering the trauma. When she called the real number of his son long ago, she saw how her son reacted violently and it made her cry and worried.
"My son, I am glad you are recovering. I hope you don't get injured again. I worried too much about you."
"I am totally fine, I don't feel any pain right now. Can I be discharged as soon as possible?"
"Sure, your wish is my command."
"And will you let me go to my office, I just want to be productive again and work my job."
"But y-"
"Don't stop me, Ma. Again, I am totally fine. Nothing serious happened to me, just let me do what I want."
Allena didn't have a choice but to listen to his son. She doesn't want to stress Xander or else she will see the nightmare in her front again. She went to the doctor to ask for a discharge. After a short process, the nurse went to the room to remove the things put on Xander's hand and nose.

The lunch break has just ended. Hale went inside the building and proceeded to the training room. While he was walking slowly since the floor was a little wet and newly mopped, Xander saw him and tried to stop him.
"Hale... Hale, stop right there."
Xander approached him. When he was near him, he got hugged and kissed on the forehead. He is wondering right now what is going on.
He is not expecting that Harrison will do that. He is so confused and asks himself why Harrison is acting like Xander. He is supposed to believe his gut but he isn't convinced himself to believe it as that is the reason why he got jailed. He will accept that Xander is really dead, and Harrison is not Xander or anything else.
"I really miss you, Hale. It's been a while."
The man in front of him was going to kiss him but his palm rushed to hit it with the face of Harrison. "You pervert!"
He turned back and walked faster but carefully ignored him. Xander is following him until he is reached and stopped to move.
"Why are you doing this to me? Do you still love me? Are you mad at me? What did I do wrong to you?"
"W-W-What? You are getting on my nerves! Why such a horrifying speech! What are you saying about love? For your information, we didn't have a relationship, Harrison. And yes, I am so very fucking mad at you because you framed me and let me get arrested because of the alleged theft. How dare you to poison my mind to forgive you!"
(Slap)
Xander became speechless and he let Hale go. He massaged his face while his hands were trembling. His heart is racing right now. He doesn't have an idea what he did wrong. He is very interested to know who Harrison is as it destroys his image, especially of his secret girlfriend.
His eyes began to water and eventually, his tears fell. He has never been slapped by Hale because he loves him so much. This is the first time he gets hurt by the person he loves.
"Good afternoon, boss. You are finally here," Armando saw him and approached him immediately. "How are you? It's been a while. How was your head feeling?"
He has an idea that Armando might know about what Hale said to him. He grabbed the opportunity to ask Armando for information.
"I can say that I am fully recovered. I don't feel any pain right now."
"That is good news, boss. Thank god!"
"Uhhmm Armando... I have something to ask you."
"What is it, boss? I am open to that."
"Lately, I met Hale and talked to him like a close friend. But I don't think we are on good terms. He was so mad at me. Just why? I don't really understand. I was shocked when he didn't hesitate to slap me."
They looked at each other and stayed in silence for a second. Armando's mind is playing like a devil.
His mind says, "Am I facing the host of this person? He is not Harrison today, right? He is, finally, Xander."
"B-B-Boss, I think it is your right to know the truth. I hope you are ready for the revelation... The cause of anger of Hale's you is you made a big mistake to him. You are the one who made him suffer in jail for almost a month."
"I don't know what you are talking about about."
"It seems you still don't know your situation. Your body doesn't have only one personality or owner but two. You are not just Xander, you are also Harrison."
"Then who is Harrison?"
"You have a DID, a multiple personality to be specific. Your alter is Harrison, the personality created with your traumatic mind. When you have been in a tragedy, your inner self gives up, so your other self was formed to catch the mental torture."
"Then who really is Harrison?"
"Harrison is the opposite of your attitude and personal traits."
"Oh God! Why do I have this kind of disorder!"
