She was a wreck. Her emotions were all over the place. She tried not to care, but every night, the gossip and the images she conjured in her mind tormented her endlessly. There was no escape.
Dr. Stone's hypnosis sessions were her only refuge. Desperate for a break from reality and a good night's sleep, Selena turned to him for help. It wasn't a permanent fix, but it was better than living in constant agony.

With a resigned sigh, he prescribed her stronger meds and gave her a slew of instructions. Selena nodded, got up, and left his office.

With a flick of disdain, Joy pulled out her checkbook and wrote a check for five million dollars. Still, Dr. Stsaid nothing. Joy upped the ante to ten million. His eyes flickered ever so slightly. Joy tore off the check with a smile and slid it across the table. "Telleverything about Selena." Half an hour later, Joy emerged from the office and gestured for her assistant. Mr.
Wu stepped forward, "Miss, what do you need?" Joy leaned in and whispered a few instructions into his ear.
