"Welcome to paradise," Atlas Sauffmann greets me as I step off his magnificent yacht. Taking in the sight of his luxurious beach house on a secluded island, I smile gratefully. This getaway should be the perfect setting for my husband and I to reconnect, all while celebrating my sister's birthday.
So, why can't I shake the feeling that the island's shadows hide terrors greater than my own?
As the days unfold and my anxiety deepens, a series of unsettling events begin to cloud my thoughts. Is it the weight of my husband's infidelities? Or the elderly woman performing a beachside ritual? It could be the troubling disappearance of my medication. Or maybe, it's that damned red painting.
I try to ignore Atlas's younger brother, the charming Theus. But the effect of his art, his deep, violent brushstrokes in contrast with that white canvas... draws me in deeper by the hour.
As my paranoia grows, I start to question everyone around me. Something strange is definitely happening on this island, but if they come for me, I will be ready.
"Keep calm, Nora," I remind myself. "These people don't know you. They don't know the things you've done..."

The German's Obsession
Warning‼️This book contains abtruse topics such as Dark love, Abuse, Violence etc. You have been warned. "I thought after 3months of dealing with my anger, when I finally saw you again the desire to skin you alive and add your pretty skin to my collection would have died down." he said camly looking at me. His game on pause for a second. My heart dropped to my feet. My eyes were wandering between him and the items close to him as I blinked the tears away. "Sylas- please. You have to understand-" I felt more scared seeing as his attention was back on the board and not on me. Dying was an exceptional thing for me but death by Sylas I couldn't even begin to imagine. "Sprich nicht."(Don't speak.) His native tongue did something to me. I gulped being unable to look at his eyes even though they were on the chess board. "What did you think was going to happen Mäuschen?" he asked giving me his full attention. Every Fibre in my body wanted to run, my mind was screaming for me to run but I knew that wouldn't get me anywhere, it would just make him more excited. "Lay your hands on the table." he commanded moving the chess board further from him. I now wished he continued with his game. I didn't want all of his attention. I complied to his instruction with trembling hands knowing I had no choice. "Which finger did you use?" he asked casually grabbing the hammer and standing up causing a sob to wreck through me. I harshly bit into my bottom lip to stop the begging that was at the tip of my tongue, I knew he wouldn't listen, he only just wanted his answer but I had no control over my tears. ..
