A STANDALONE DARK ROMANCE STORY


She should be dead.
I was supposed to kill her.

Blaire du Pont is a sight to behold. With porcelain skin, eyes that hold the entire world within them, and voice that makes every drop of word sound like a lullaby, to everyone else, she's a dream.
But not to me. To me she is a nightmare, the one that keeps me awake at night and the one that occupies my every single thought. One mission. One deal. One death. That was all that stood between me and the purpose of my life. I should've killed her the moment I saw her. But something about her restrained me and I couldn't grasp it. By the time I realized what it was, it was too late. Her life is mine to take, and not even the Devil can interfere.

He was a ghost, until he wasn't.
And he was supposed to kill me.

Theo Saints is every bit of the danger he claims to be. I know it. I've known it for a while and yet that doesn't faze me. He said he was going to kill me, he didn't. He said I should be scared, I wasn't.
A drowning person will clutch at a straw. That's what he was to me. Like a whirlwind, he threw me upside down. He is the ghost who has been haunting me but I know his secret. He is not the only one haunting and I am not the only one haunted. He said he'll ruin me, and I know he will. Ruination comes both ways, we are all ghosts in someone's past, present or future. And if I go down, I'll take him with me.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓. Book 2 in "Dark Fate" series. "Obsession is like a wildfire, consuming everything in its path even friendships and boundaries." • ✧ • Vivaan Grover is my boyfriend. He still is. But sometimes love doesn't feel like love anymore. It used to be simple - him and me against the world. Until the world turned into shadows and silence. Until the messages began, the gifts I never asked for, the voice that never spoke but somehow followed me everywhere. My stalker didn't just watch me... he haunted me. And when that wasn't enough, he made me choose - him or Vivaan. He never laid a finger on me. He didn't need to. Fear does its job when it's patient. I broke the heart I swore I'd never touch. And the moment I did, the stalker disappeared... like he was never there at all. And somehow, Vivaan and I found our way back to each other. But everything had changed. He held me, but his arms no longer felt like home. Не kissed me, but there was distance in every touch, a silence between our bodies that no words could fill. He was with me... but he wasn't with me. And just when I thought I'd finally breathe again, Kian Albrecht walked into my life. My brother's best friend. His presence is like smoke and fire, impossible to ignore, dangerous to inhale. He doesn't ask. He claims. He doesn't knock. He breaks through. And when his eyes fall on me, I feel it deep in my bones - I'm not safe, not from him... not from what he awakens in me. Now, I'm unraveling. My stalker is watching again. Vivaan is slipping away. And Kian-he's not a savior. He's a storm dressed in obsession, and somehow, I'm standing in the center of it, unable to move, unable to run. This isn't a love story. This is a warning. And I think I'm already too late to save myself.

"Don't open the door, Ruhi," Bianca warned me. "You'll let the monsters in." I should have listened. God, I should have listened. But my humanity was louder than my fear. And when the knocking came, I answered. I didn't just open the door to a stranger. I opened it to my own destruction. He didn't steal my heart. He stole my soul and the last piece of my sanity. And he wasn't the only one waiting in the dark. Pain blurred into silence. Tears blurred into surrender. In the end, it wasn't about love. It wasn't even about survival. It was about who could take more from me and how much of myself I was willing to lose before I stopped fighting. "You look beautiful when you bleed." He ran the blade down my hip. "Aarohi, my Ruhi. Isn't that what your name means? My beautiful soul. I will turn your soul so dark, you will forget what light feels like." He pressed it further, but gI didn't hiss. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of pain. "How long will you hold on, Ruh? The prouder you are, the harder the fall will be." He grazed his teeth down to my hip bone, where the wound just opened, and he bit down hard so my hips bled more. That was what Acheron Delatore was. A soul sucking demon from the depths of hell and I was his lifeline.
