Never Trust the Therapist

Seven years after suffering abuse under hypnosis in the office of a respected psychotherapist, Chloe Reeves is a ghost: identity erased, trust annihilated, memory fragmented by suggestions that ordered her to forget.Now, with a false name-Clara Moretti-and a meticulously orchestrated plan, Chloe once again crosses the threshold of Evelyn Hart's studio. No longer as a vulnerable patient, but as a predator disguised as prey. The goal is one: to unmask the woman who destroyed her and her husband Julian, the surgeon who took advantage of her induced helplessness.Session after session, Chloe insinuates doubts, memories, veiled threats. Evelyn, the perfect therapist, begins to crumble: the bergamot scent becomes toxic, the scratching pen an accusation, the cream-colored sofa an altar of guilt.But while Chloe believes she is weaving the web of revenge, she discovers disturbing clues: a recurring symbol-a circle with a dot in the center-, anonymous packages, forgotten recordings, a pendulum swinging in the dark.The truth reveals itself to be vaster and more monstrous than she imagined: Evelyn and Julian were not isolated monsters, but pawns of an occult organization that, for decades, has used hypnosis, drugs, and manipulation to mark and control its "subjects." Chloe was not just a victim. She was an experiment. And her revenge... perhaps it was guided by the very shadow that now watches her.When the circle closes, Chloe finds herself at the center. With a USB drive containing her "complete diagnosis" and a voice on the phone scheduling the next appointment.Because the therapy, the real one, has just begun.And this time, the patient is her.
