"Some call it stalking. I say walking, just extremely close behind."

He knows everything about her-her gum flavour, her bus schedule, the exact way her keys jingle when she comes home at 7:43 every night. To him, that's not creepy. That's devotion.

When following her isn't enough, when collecting her trash stops satisfying the ache, he decides it's time to take the next step. After all, she left the window open... that's practically an invitation.

Love can be sweet.
Love can be terrifying.
And sometimes, love can be close behind.

And every time I go live, every time I smile, I wonder if he's already closer than I think. Because obsession doesn't stay behind the screen forever. Eventually, it knocks on your door."* You can block anyone... except the one already inside your shadows? "You can block a name. You can't block an obsession."

THE WATCHER. by KingKenzzy

Cold, powerful, and dangerously obsessed, he's watched her for months from the shadows. He knows her routines, her smile, the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's nervous. To the world, he's an untouchable billionaire, ruthless and controlled. But when it comes to her, control is slipping. When she accidentally stumbles into his world-an overheard phone call, a mistaken identity, a stormy night-he decides watching isn't enough anymore. He wants her. Needs her. And he'll do anything to keep her close... even if it means unraveling her world to remake it with him at the center.

I trusted him, but he turned out to be a creepy psycho who kidnapped me. • People say I'm the epitome of a good girl-obedient, kind-hearted and graceful.

I wanted to be a columnist. But everything changed during one family trip to a hill station. That's where I met him. At first, I fell for his sweet words, his kind gestures and his caring attitude. No one could have guessed that the same man would turn into my stalker! That he would kidnap me...! and lock me away in a lonely cottage, cut off from the outside world. This is my story-my fight to escape a psychopath. But can I truly get away from him? Or will Stockholm syndrome win?
