"You're tracking me," I whispered, horror mingling with a bizarre, twisted spike of adrenaline.
Let me define my terms. When I say Liam was “worse hot,” I am not talking about mere physical attraction. Physical attraction is a puppy—it’s harmless, it wags its tail, you can put it in a crate when you’re busy.
I couldn't just call the police; to the world, Ethan was the victim's savior. I had to gather ironclad evidence of his surveillance, quietly pack my life into boxes while pretending everything was normal, and vanish overnight to a new city under an assumed name.
If you enjoyed this dark romance story, I can expand the narrative for you. Let me know if you would like to:
Ethan hadn't accidentally stumbled upon my attack. He had been tracking my original stalker. He allowed the confrontation to happen, waiting for the exact psychological moment to intervene, eliminate the competition, and position himself as my indispensable savior.
I stayed for another six weeks. Not because I was weak, but because I was ashamed. How do you tell your friends that the man who saved you from a monster is himself a monster in a better suit? How do you file a police report when the hero of the story is now the villain? “Officer, my boyfriend is too protective. He loves me too much.” They would have laughed. They would have said, “Be grateful.”
The tension is suffocating in the best way possible. While the original stalker was a shadowy threat, the new "protector" is a golden-tongued nightmare who uses his rescue as leverage to embed himself in the protagonist's life. The chemistry is magnetic but laced with a constant sense of dread, making you question whether you should be swooning or running for the hills.
A "normal" person will be slightly bruised but respect it. A "worse" admirer will get angry or insist you aren't safe without them. 3. The Digital Sanitization
It’s a chilling exploration of obsession, where the only thing more terrifying than the monster following you is the one currently holding your hand. similar book recommendations in this genre?
The “hot” wears off the moment you realize you’ve traded one source of fear for another. The stalker made you afraid of the outside world. The false protector makes you afraid of your own home. Which is worse? At least with the stalker, you knew they were the enemy.
I blocked him. He made new numbers.
