    He watched her wordlessly. She was beautiful in his eyes. She wasn't like the others he had previously killed for joy, for satisfaction. She was without a doubt made for him, he thought. Her whole existence was for him. Only him. He grinned from within the shadows. Soon he'd have her for himself. Soon she would see him and feel the same way. This, after all, in his eyes, was destiny. P.s. There is a prequel/sequel up on my page, Obsession is more like the side story that goes with it. It doesn't matter which one you read first. Warning: some violence, blood and gore in the beginning. Thank you for reading. Highest- #10 in mystery/thriller - #8 in torture - #1 in dark themes
