Dr. Alexandre Mortimer, a scientist who suffers from manic depression and multiple personality disorder, has never desired much in his twenty-eight years. A recluse by nature, he doesn't feel the need to surround himself with other people and, with his self-funded, expansive research into the creation of human-like 'companions', he has all the money he could ever desire. 

Andre, the doctor's alternate personality, is not thrilled with his host's newfound happiness. Andre is Alexandre's protector, and without a threat to Alexandre's safety, he is unneeded. Dormant. And one of the 'companions', Lilly, has convinced the doctor that he isn't real. She has him on medication to help treat his disease. Considering Lilly a threat to Alexandre's safety, Andre removes her from the equation. 

Can the doctor overcome the startling odds and save himself, as well as Lilly, from his alternate personality?All Rights Reserved

Billionaires deal by Sheen_1

"Damn you Sarah! Answer me...did you ran away from me to be with your damn lover?" Sarah slapped him hard across the cheek, he gritted his teeth, his hold on her tightened further. He pulled her towards him and held her waist hard which caused sarah to wince. He whispered close to her face, his lips almost touching hers "If you ever try that again, I promise you...you wouldn't like the outcome of what I'll do" Sarah stopped... Did that have a trace of sexiness and seduction in that or was it just her imagination. She pulled herself away from him and said "I'll do that and more if you ever cross your line with me" With that she left, Alex balled his hands into fists and watched her leave. The sway of her hips making his member have a very tantalising experience.
