Damien's life was forever changed after the car accident that killed his mother.

The novel consists of several mini-stories about therapy sessions at a therapy clinic named "Soulmate", but the letters "m-a-t-e" were broken in a storm. Each mini-story is narrated by both the psychologists and the patients, describe the patients' worldview, why they do what seems "mentally ill" to us. We often say that the patients' head is abnormal, that their way of thinking is so weird. But is there any possibility that it's because they received different (whether right or wrong) information, so they react differently? Is that just because we "normal people" haven't got enough understanding about this world? Throughout the story, we could see that therapy sessions are a two-way arrow. While the experts are affecting the patient, the patient is also influencing them,“When you look deeply into the darkness, the deep darkness is also looking into you". The story does not make any conclusion about who is right or which world is real, maybe all of them are real, maybe they are all virtual, or maybe, it all doesn't matter. Isn't the world where we live? Wherever you live, that's your world.

우리 엄마는 나 때문에 화병으로 돌아가셨다. 내가 주인공이 돼야 할 결혼식의 신부가 박형식의 파트너로 바뀐 순간 엄마는 숨이 멎어 들었고 그렇게 내 결혼식은 엄마의 장례식이 되어버렸다. 박형식은 그럼에도 결혼식을 강행했고 아예 나더러 강지연 손에 반지를 끼워주라고 했다. “얼른 끼워줘, 식 끝나면 내가 다 설명할게.” 나는 그런 박형식을 무시하며 엄마의 시체를 안고 호텔을 나왔다. 저녁 8시가 되자 신부가 바뀐 결혼식도 원만히 끝났는지 강지연이 인스타에 피드를 하나 올렸는데 거기에 좋아요가 수십만 개나 달려있었다. “오늘 드디어 원하던 사람과 결혼했어요, 다들 와주셔서 너무 고맙고 또 본인 주제를 알고 알아서 비켜주신 그분한테도 고맙네요.” “사랑받을 자격이 없는 사람은 사랑해주지 말아야지.” 그 피드 아래에 달린 박형식의 댓글을 본 나는 차디찬 영안실에서 둘을 위해 '좋아요'를 눌러주며 “오래도록 행복하세요.”라는 댓글을 달았다. 그리고는 엄마의 유골함을 안고 짐을 정리하러 집으로 돌아갔는데 그곳에서 하필 내가 산 소파에 앉아 서로를 부둥켜안고 키스를 하고 있는 박형식과 강지연을 보게 되었다.

내가 임신한 지 5개월째, 한지용은 임신한 지 8개월 된 채 이혼 준비 중인 그의 첫사랑을 데려왔다. 나는 임산부는 서로 영향을 줄 수 있어 아이에게도 좋지 않다며 지용에게 에둘러 말했다. 하지만 지용은 오히려 물잔을 깨부수고 혐오하는 듯 말했다. “시우는 지금 이혼 때문에 마음이 침울한 상태이고 의지할 사람은 나뿐이야! 그런데 꼭 사람을 사경으로 몰아야 해?” 난 메스껍고 구역질이 나 밤새 잠을 이루지 못했고 몸 상태는 점점 나빠졌다. 지용은 연시우를 기쁘게 해주기 위해 집에 백합을 잔뜩 진열해 놓았다. 하지만 지용은 내가 백합에 알레르기가 있다는 사실을 잊었고 심지어 나를 방에 가두었다. “냄새를 맡지 않으면 더 이상 알레르기는 안 생기겠지!” 난 피가 끊임없이 흘렀고 미친 듯이 지용에게 전화를 걸어 나와 아이를 구해달라고 부탁했다. 그러나 지용은 난 아직 달수가 작으니 절대 문제가 생기지 않을 거라고 했다. 그렇게 난 태동이 멈추고 나서야 단념할 수 있었다. 이때 지용이 허둥지둥 문을 열고 들어왔다.

"Ace...please...I had nothing to do with your father's death..." I whimper, protectively placing my hand over my abdomen. His grip tightens around my throat as my eyes water when I look into his eyes reddened by the effect of the alcohol that he has consumed. All I can see is my death looming over my head as I try my best to be able to breathe through my nose even if he is trying his best to block my airways. "Well, all evidence seems to state otherwise, bitch! You were the one leaking all information about us back to your father. And here I was...thinking that we had something..." his words slur but his actions are completely focused on me. Completely focused on killing me. I can feel it...I am not going to make it... ———————— I wanted to tell him that I didn’t ruin his empire. I wanted him to believe it. But he didn’t listen. And because of him, I ended up losing my baby growing inside me. I lost everything because of Alejandro Harrington. And I have spent the last two years running from him. But now he has finally found me. He is my new boss and to top it all off, I have to remain in this firm as his personal assistant. He still remembers everything and even now, he has no regrets about whatever he did. He’s here to make my life hell.
