The Canvas Murders
When a string of brutal murders shakes the quiet riverside town of Phayom, all evidence points to one person - Namping, a reserved art teacher whose eerily lifelike portraits of his neighbors suddenly seem less innocent. When a victim's body is discovered buried behind his apartment complex and his fingerprints are found on a bloodstained knife, Namping becomes the prime suspect in what the media calls "The Canvas Murders." His unexpected ally comes in the form of his next-door neighbor - Dr. Keng Harit, a brilliant but unnervingly detached forensic pathologist with a reputation for being as charming as he is cold. Keng offers to help Namping clear his name, not out of compassion, but because the case fascinates him. As the two men secretly work together, Namping realizes Keng's understanding of death goes beyond professional curiosity - his lack of empathy and calm fascination with the murders hint at something much darker beneath his surface. Yet, despite his fear, Namping finds himself drawn to Keng's intellect, his quiet intensity, and the strange safety he provides. Each clue drags them deeper into a web of deceit, obsession, and copycat killings crafted to destroy Namping's life. But when the trail begins to connect back to Keng's past, Namping starts to wonder if he's been relying on his savior... or sleeping next to the real monster. Now, trapped between suspicion and attraction, Namping must decide who he can trust before the next body shows up - and whether the danger lies outside his door, or right beside him.Concluida
Avni : His Silent Light
He held up his hands, trying to sound casual, but the sight stopped her cold-blood smeared across his fingers, dark and fresh. "Relax, it's nothing," he said smoothly, his voice trying to soothe, but her heart pounded in stark disbelief. Her eyes widened, fixed on the crimson stains, a silent scream caught in her throat. Horror dripped from every glance. "Nothing? You killed him," she whispered, voice barely steady, trembling with a mixture of fear and accusation. "You're a murderer." He scoffed, a cold shadow flickering in his unreadable eyes. "Don't insult me wifey. I'm above that." The weight of his words pressed down like a guillotine as she steadied herself, voice sharp with defiance. "I'll tell everyone. I won't marry you." A slow, cruel smile curved his lips as he leaned in, his breath ghosting against her ear like a deadly promise. "Will you? Go ahead-tell everyone. I'll destroy everything you hold dear, just like your telling would destroy mine. We'll go down together." He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "And as for not marrying me... oh wifey , you don't get to choose. You'll be mine-whether it's in a wedding dress, or buried in a legend". He wasn't supposed to pull her in-didn't even understand why he was drawn to her. She wasn't the most beautiful, but something beneath the surface called to him. A ruthless heir haunted by betrayal, he never let strangers close... yet he craved to keep her. ☆☆☆☆
