Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Timothy glanced at Harmony's demeanor and retorted in a cold voice, "Do I have to explain my actions to you?"

Harmony was utterly stunned and she could not help but widen her eyes.

Timothy's second personality was undoubtedly indifferent, cold, and even heartless.

He might not be as considerate and gentle as other men in terms of feelings and relationships, but for the past three years at least, Harmony was the only woman who could remain by his side.

He was even willing to marry her.

After learning that he had not officially divorced Samantha, his first reaction was to go ahead and divorce her.

That alone was enough to show how much Harmony meant to him in his heart.

Even though she was a little worried that he chose to side with Samantha during the annual dinner, she could understand why he did so after giving it some thought.

After all, he had to keep up appearances on that occasion. Since Harmony had a bad reputation, she did not want Timothy to suffer a hit to his reputation and bear the burden of her infamy.

However, he had never spoken to her in such a tone in the past three years. It was just…very cold.

She knew that nothing good would ever come out of Samantha's presence.

Samantha always ruined her plans and made her life worse. All she hoped for was that Samantha would die on the operating table and never wake up again!

Harmony's aggrieved eyes immediately turned red and tears gradually became welling up. "Tim, I… I'm worried about you... You know you shouldn't get hurt!"

As long as Timothy's second personality was injured, he would be in a weak position. Once the emotions of the main personality started fluctuating, he would not be able to suppress the main personality anymore.

Therefore, Timothy had never allowed himself to be injured in the past three years nor did he let himself be put in a dangerous situation. She ensured the same too.

It was exactly why she rushed up unhesitatingly to shield him from danger when Rochelle came to seek revenge.

She was fine with getting hurt, but she could not let Timothy get hurt.

He was just as aware of his situation, yet he still took such a big risk and put himself in danger just to save Samantha...

Timothy felt waves of pain stabbing his head and it became even worse when he heard her sobs.

He closed his eyes involuntarily, clenched his hands into fists, and pressed them hard on his temples.

Something seemed to be gushing out from the depths of the body and it was not something that could be suppressed.

His agonized look caused Harmony's tears to stop flowing. She was familiar with what was going on and only needed one glance to know that his mood swings were so great that the main personality could not be held back anymore.

She no longer cared about her sadness or the injustice that befell her. She hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to touch Timothy. "Tim, are you having difficulty controlling your main personality? I… I'll help you!"

Harmony then held Timothy's hand.

The next second, Timothy batted her hand away forcefully and raised his head to look at her. There was a coldness in his voice as he said, "Go away!"

Harmony was caught unprepared and staggered back a couple of steps before barely managing to steady herself.

She looked at Timothy in disbelief. "Tim... You—"

Before she could even go anywhere with her sentence, she saw Timothy's black eyes looking right at her. There was a blatant look of hatred and danger that seemed to be directed toward her.

That look was one that she was extremely familiar with...

In fact, she was so familiar with it that her soul was reeling from the shock.

That was not a look that Timothy's second personality had—it was a look from Timothy's main personality...

Although the second personality was extremely ruthless, he lacked some traces of that innate arrogance possessed by the main personality, for the main personality was truly a force to be reckoned with.

He was someone who had the right to look down on everything under the sun.

How did it happen?

How did his main personality emerge?

In recent years, the main personality attempted to manifest when the second personality's mood fluctuated too much. However, the second personality's self-control was extremely good, and coupled with Harmony's hypnosis, the main personality never once succeeded in emerging over the past three years.

She thought that the main personality had actually disappeared from Timothy's body, so it came as a shock that the main personality would be reawakened.

"Tim..." Her voice was faltering and she wondered if she had seen wrongly.

"Ah!" Timothy had a splitting headache and he covered his head with his hands once more as he groaned several times in pain.

Harmony could clearly see that both of Timothy's personalities were vying for control!

She could not let the main personality reawaken because she would have no way to suppress it once it manifested.

Timothy was only able to suppress the main personality at that time because he was in the right time and place. Moreover, she was not the one who did it, but the ingenious plan from her 'sir' as well as another factor that she did not want to admit it from—Samantha.

An opportunity like that would never come by again!

If the main personality awakened, she would be thoroughly and absolutely done for.

Harmony rushed up again, took out her pocket watch, and said to Timothy. "Tim, look at me. Look at me!"

She lowered her voice and there was a tempting voice within. "Tim, look at me."

Timothy turned around slowly to look at her.

A few minutes later, Timothy's expression gradually calmed down.

Harmony put away the pocket watch, gulped a couple of times, then looked at him nervously and called out softly, "How are you feeling, Tim? Are you better?"

She was very apprehensive.

There was a time she was extremely confident in her hypnosis skills because she was the only apprentice of her master. Although she was not as powerful as him, she had learned at least 60% of his knowledge.

She had always been quite confident in suppressing the main personality and she had always done a good job about it too.

On that occasion, however, Timothy's main personality woke up suddenly and she panicked.

She had no idea whether or not she succeeded in suppressing the main personality.

Seeing as Timothy's eyes were still closed, she began wondering which personality would he be in once he reopened them.

He could not help his palms from sweating.

Timothy's delicate eyelashes trembled slightly. His eyes opened little by little and his black eyes looked at Harmony.

There was a cold and sharp look in his eyes that was characterized by sinister wickedness. "I'm fine."

Harmony's anxious heart finally calmed down.

She was so worried that she might never again be able to see the Timothy that belonged to her.

Harmony then thought of what happened earlier and remembered how frightened she was that she broke out in cold sweat after only a single look from the main personality.

She could not help but say, "Tim, your main personality is extremely difficult to deal with. We've spent so much time and energy to suppress him, and you...you shouldn't get too close to Samantha anymore. Don't let yourself be influenced by her!"

"You should know that the main personality will be affected when Samantha's around you. Once the main personality awakens, you're the one who's going to disappear completely."

"It's not easy for your main personality to disappear, Tim, but your second personality can disappear with ease. You and Samantha cannot coexist!"

"I'm the only one in this entire world who wants you to live, Tim. I'm the only one who thinks about you wholeheartedly, and I'm the only one who will always stand by your side!"

"Everyone else just wants you dead, including Samantha! I…will never betray you!"

Harmony confessed affectionately. She stared in a mesmerized fashion at the man's handsome face and she could not help but approach him and caress the man's face gently.

Timothy did not avoid her and merely looked at her.

Harmony seemed to have received a tremendous amount of encouragement and she could not help herself from kissing Timothy's thin lips.
