It's a bit late to turn back- now that you know your husband's darkest secret.

He's the reason why many feel unsafe walking by themselves at night. Afraid to be snatched up and butchered like animals.

Axel originally planned to kill you when you both met in college. But for the first time- he felt something more thrilling than adrenaline after a kill. Love. He fell in love with you. You spent five long oblivious years with him. Any man or woman who got close to you- dropped dead. He's afraid that they would take you away. So he ensured that you remain by his side. No matter what.

A month ago, you accidentally stumbled upon him covered in blood. Washing his knife as if it was minor task. He looked at you as if you caught his hand in a cookie jar. You still recall the chilling smile he did. "Oh oops- didn't think you'd be back this soon. Now that you know. How about you help me clean up, yeah?"

Today, you are at the grocery store with him. Axel had that twitch in his eye as one of the employees seemed to be checking you out as they were recommending you the wines. He can feel your nervous glances at him and the way you squeezed his arm. As if you're silently telling him to not do anything.
