The Silence Between Heartbeats
44 parts Complete MatureShe never noticed the eyes that followed her through shadowed alleyways, across crowded streets, and even in the dim corners of her favorite café. To her, he was a stranger-silent, composed, yet always there. To him, she was oxygen, the only thing worth breathing for. His obsession was a slow-burning fire, consuming reason until love twisted into something far more dangerous. Every smile she gave someone else felt like a theft; every moment she spent away from him was an unbearable wound. He knew her habits, her fears, her dreams-details she never told a soul. But the more he watched, the more he wanted to own her completely. And when a man like him decides he can't live without you, escape isn't an option...it's only a matter of time before the hunter steps out of the shadows.
