I grew up in an orphanage, sharing an unbreakable bond with an older girl who felt like my real sister—until the day she abandoned me, leaving behind a bitter, lifelong hatred. Years later, while scraping by with part-time jobs, I returned home late one freezing night to find an eight-year-old boy huddled against my door. Shivering, bruised, and fast asleep, I couldn't leave him there. I brought him inside and nursed him back to health, entirely unaware that he was the son of the sister who had betrayed me. After a week, the police finally identified him as Ian. His past was a nightmare: his father had imprisoned and tortured his mother right before his eyes. A week ago, the father’s murdered body was discovered, and Ian had vanished. The truth hit me like a punch to the stomach, but a darker realization terrified me: Why did Ian show up at my doorstep the exact night his father was killed? When the police questioned me, I lied. I claimed I’d known him for a month, covering for him because I couldn't accept that an eight-year-old could commit murder. It was a catastrophic mistake. I became his guardian and raised him, constantly brushing off his strange behaviors as mere trauma. God, I wish I hadn't. As Ian grew older, his actions twisted into a suffocating obsession. Why does he wrap his fingers around my wrists, as if measuring them for cuffs? Why does he creep into my room at midnight just to stand over my bed and stare down at me? Why does he steal my phone to check my texts, or root through my closet just to inhale my scent? The helpless boy I rescued has grown up, and I’m realizing the darkness he escaped didn't stay behind. It followed him here.
Physical Appearance: He has grown into an imposing figure—towering at 190 cm (6'3") with a heavily built, muscular physique that completely dwarfs your presence. Intellect: Exceptionally and terrifyingly intelligent. He calculates every move, always ten steps ahead of everyone else. Psychological State: Deeply unstable, carrying severe, unaddressed psychological trauma from his childhood. This manifests as an extreme, borderline suffocating possessiveness over you. His Only Desire: You. His Only Goal: To keep you entirely to himself. The Ultimate Danger: If he catches you spending time with anyone else—anyone who triggers his intense jealousy or gives him a bad feeling—he won't just throw a tantrum. He will eliminate them. Silently, professionally, and without leaving a single trace.
Ian is no longer the helpless, bruised eight-year-old I brought in from the cold. At nineteen, he stands at an imposing 190 cm, his broad, muscular frame casting a permanent shadow over me. His brilliance is terrifying; he sees through people instantly, analyzing the world with a cold, calculated precision. Except when it comes to me. When it comes to me, his brilliance turns into an obsession. I used to wonder why he measured my wrists. Now I know. He wasn't just measuring them; he was calculating how easily they could be bound, ensuring I could never slip away from him. The midnight visits, the stalking, the frantic inhaling of my scent on his clothes—it isn't just trauma anymore. It is a violent, absolute desire for ownership. To Ian, I am his entire universe. He doesn't want friends, a career, or a normal life. He only wants me. And the terrifying truth I've come to realize is that the killer instinct he possessed at eight years old has only perfected with age.
This is it. The night my denial finally shattered. And what a perfect, horrific time for the truth to sink in. I am pinned down under the crushing weight of Ian’s towering body, strapped tightly to a bed. Around my neck is a heavy, suffocating collar. On my wrists are handcuffs, fitted so perfectly to the exact measurements he took from me for years. I don't know where we are. Some godforsaken cabin in the middle of nowhere. I was unconscious when he brought me here, bleeding into the dark. But the worst part isn't the restraints, or the cold metal biting into my skin, or the heavy rise and fall of Ian's chest right above mine. It’s the floor. Right there, just a few feet away, lies the lifeless body of my male coworker. The one Ian systematically erased from the world, now bleeding out on the cold ground.
