--- 2025 Update ✨--- This story has been completely rewritten and is now being published weekly ------------------------ It's really strange how there are some faces we see everyday and yet they don't really matter in our lives. They could be the girl you catch sight of regularly at your favorite coffee shop, the guy who sits next to you on train everyday or might just be someone who lives in the same town as you. You know their faces well but nothing much about them. This was the exact case for Norah Bishop when it came to Daniel Cohen. For her, Daniel was just some guy who had been her classmate for a very long time and whom the whole school worshiped but fate never gave her a chance to cross paths with him. But all of that was destined to change in just one night...

As the bodies pile up she uses her gift of glee to uncover the clues missed by the police and hopefully stop the killer from claiming another innocent victim. Her goal-- prove to the world once and for all that one does not need to be traditional to make a difference.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
