Iris had always found solace in the ordinary. Her days were painted with the laughter of her loving boyfriend, a stark contrast to the chilly silence that filled her home. While her family wrapped themselves in layers of cold indifference, Iris wrapped herself in dreams of a brighter future, choosing to ignore the emotional frost that lingered around her.

But peace is often a fragile illusion. As autumn leaves began to fall, a shadow crept into their small town-a serial killer with a sinister obsession. Whispers of the "Redhead Butcher" sent chills down spines, his ruthless hunt targeting those with fiery locks. It was a twisted game of fate, and Iris found herself caught in the crosshairs.

The first victim was discovered just days later, a haunting reminder of the fragile line between safety and terror. As fear gripped the community, Iris's vibrant auburn hair, once a source of pride, now felt like a neon sign marking her for death. With each sunrise, she could sense the tightening noose of danger, the thrill of life overshadowed by an impending doom.

As her boyfriend's comforting presence transformed into an uneasy shield, Iris was thrust into a frantic race against time. With the killer lurking in the shadows, she was forced to confront the family she had long ignored and uncover the truths they had hidden. In a world where love and fear intertwined, Iris realized that the fight for her life would reveal not just the darkness of a killer, but the hidden depths of her own resilience.

"𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞." He glared at her with a cold, harsh expression and said, "What am I supposed to do with you, my doll?" Fear washed over her, but she gathered her strength and begged, "Please let me go. My children need me. They're so young, and they can't survive without me, please." Tears streamed down her beautiful amber eyes, but she tried to hold back her emotions in front of him. The thought of her little ones made her feel suffocated and hopeless. The man seemed moved by her tears, but his face remained bitter as he said, "You should have thought about this before you ran away with that bastard." Shocked and hurt, she shot back, "Do you even hear what you're saying? Do you have any proof of these accusations?" She continued, "How could you think so little of me? We've been together for almost four years. I always believed you loved me." Tears filled her eyes as she added, "This isn't love-love is built on trust. I trusted you completely, never questioning why you came home late, why you seemed to hate me, or why you left me on our wedding night. Yet here you are, ruining my reputation without any proof." He ignored her desperate questions and tightened his grip on her neck, his eyes turning red with fury. "Trust? You talk about trust. It was my faith in love that kept you alive. If anyone else were in your place, I'd kill them without a second thought." She struggled to escape his choking hold, fighting desperately. Suddenly, he released her and walked away, his anger clear as he never looked back. Coughing and gasping for air, she lay there, her body trembling. Tears blurred her vision as she felt like a broken soul. The nightmare her life had become seemed overwhelming. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-𝟏: 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬

"you wanna do this now? right now?" she questioned, walking away from him with furyawakening the desolate forest surrounding them. She couldn't wrap her head around this night. her life will never be the same, and it's mostly because of him. "we got nothing else to do, do we?" they sighed together, allowing reality to settle in for the first time of the night "i'm sorry, okay? i'm sorry for everything" he breathed softly, clearly still processing all the things that have happened in the past 12 hours "you can say sorry once we get out of this. i want an explanation, not an apology" he muttered walking past her "how about this? i could use some explaining from you too, so let's do that in the meantime. then i'll explain" she said, slightly angry.
