[ON HOLD] An age gap dark romance. She wasn't afraid of his darkness; she craved it - and he let her crawl inside, knowing she'd never find the way out. • ✧ • Her obsession started innocently enough. A glance, a spark - nothing more than an attraction at first. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, she couldn't escape him. He was everywhere. In her thoughts. In her dreams. And she couldn't stop herself from wanting more. He didn't make it easy, though. Cold, distant, and guarded - he kept her at arm's length. Yet, the pull between them grew stronger. Every glance, every subtle touch, sent a shock of electricity through her. And though he fought against it, something in him, too, started to stir - a feeling he wasn't willing to acknowledge. But there was a secret. One she couldn't yet uncover. He was hiding something. Something dark. And somewhere in the world, as she lost herself in him, someone was killing people, one by one - a faceless killer, leaving no trace behind. The name? No one knows, but they call 'The Phantom.' As the mystery deepened, she couldn't help but wonder... Was she falling for a man who could destroy her, or was she already lost in his web, unaware of the danger lurking just beyond the surface?
