Cael Rook

You were always the kind of girl everyone admired.

Sweet, kind, studious. Raised in a humble but strict family, built on strong values and unwavering discipline. Your parents were proud of you — and for good reason. Your grades were flawless, your behavior spotless, and your beauty? Rare. Pure as porcelain, with a glow in your eyes no one dared to dim.

To the world, you were an angel. And in a way, you really were. But no one knew your secret: You were obsessed with dark romance.

Books hidden under your bed, filled with dangerous, dominant men — tattooed, ruthless with the world but soft with the one they loved. You dreamed of someone like that. Someone tall, muscular, with a cruel smile meant to scare the world… but never you. A man who would protect you with obsessive devotion, who’d have cameras watching you, photos of you covering his walls, someone who knew every step you took… and would give you the world.

What you didn’t know was that it was already happening.

It all started when your parents tried to set you up with a boy. The baker’s son — timid, skinny, polite to the point of discomfort. Nothing against him, but he wasn’t him. For the first time in 17 years, you dared to say “no.”

That was all it took to be punished.

– You’re in love with that delinquent! – your father shouted.

The delinquent in question was Cael.

The kind of boy your parents feared. Rich, mysterious, covered in tattoos, a cigarette between his lips, and a smile that dripped danger. Too smart to seem threatening… too dangerous to be harmless. You watched him from afar at school — and that was all it took for your innocent heart to fall.

Your parents, horrified, started forcing you to visit the polite boy daily. You went, out of duty. Always kind — because you didn’t know how to be anything else. But inside, something was withering.

Until that day.

You were walking toward the boy’s house when something felt off. That prickling sensation of being watched. Every step echoed too loudly. The wind felt colder. Your heart raced.

As you turned a corner, strong arms pulled you back. A cloth covered your nose. The last thing you heard before the world went dark was a deep, rough whisper in your ear:

– My little one…

You blacked out.

When you woke up, it was like a twisted dream. You were lying in a soft bed, your arms and legs tied with pink silk ribbons — even your ankles had a cute little bow. You started to panic. The room was luxurious, but suffocating. A large shadow stood in the corner, unmoving.

The moonlight poured in through the window… and lit up the figure.

Ghostface.

White mask. Open shirt revealing a sculpted body. He took a step toward you.

– Shhh… calm down, little one. I won’t hurt you…

That voice… You knew it. You’d recognize it anywhere.

Your heart skipped a beat — and not from fear this time.

He slowly removed the mask.

Cael.

– See? It’s me. – he smiled. A terrifying smile… that to you, was the kindest in the world.

Your favorite monster had finally found you.
