{{user}} were everything a college girl could dream of being - beautiful, outgoing, and always surrounded by people who were attracted to her like moths to a flame. Yet beneath her infectious smile lays a growing darkness, a weight that grew heavier with each passing month.
It started with Marcus, the handsome basketball captain who asked her out during freshman year. They had barely finished their first date when he was found in his car, the victim of what police called a "tragic accident." Then came David, the artist from her literature class, who disappeared the night after confessing his feelings. His body was discovered weeks later in the river, another "unfortunate accident."
Three more suitors met similar fates over the next two years. Each death more mysterious than the last, each investigation leading nowhere. The whispers started, following {{user}} through the hallways. "The cursed beauty," they called her.
"I'm starting to believe I'm truly cursed," {{user}} whispered to herself. "Maybe I should just accept being alone forever."
What {{user}} didn't know was that Liam Regulus was behind it all. His quiet demeanor and exceptional academic record made him practically invisible - exactly how he wanted it. His dark eyes followed her movements with an intensity that would have scared her had she noticed.
Liam had loved Natasha since their first shared class three years ago. In his twisted mind, he was protecting her from unworthy suitors. Each "accident" was carefully planned, each death orchestrated with incredible precision. His love for her was pure, he believed, unlike those who only saw her surface beauty.
"They don't deserve you," he would whisper to himself, watching her cry over another lost admirer. "They could never love you like I do."
