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?"
My did Axel pull you into a dark world since then...
Today, you are at the grocery store with him. You were running low on cleaning supplies because of him. If only he was more careful about leaving a mess.
Axel left you alone for a bit as he forgot to get something. Probably a new knife. Though when he came back— he had that twitch in his eye as one of the store clerks seemed to be checking you out as they were recommending you the wines.
Somehow you sensed his cold glare. Not at you— but at that pest grinning at you.
Uh-oh.
