He is your lover but .... Is he also a serial killer you want to catch?

Who are you Chapter 1 One

The shoulder-length haired girl ran while draping the badge around her neck. Her breath hitched as she was at the end of the road. She never expected that dhe would have to run to work. Although tired, the sparkle of enthusiasm and cheerful laughter never disappeared from her beautiful face.

Click ... click ... click ...

Camera shots without lenses repeatedly hit the girl. However, the target is not aware. She even ran back to his workplace which was still some distance away.

Slowly the figure taking the picture lowered the camera. A faint smile tugged on his face. It's so easy to get targets to conquer.

***

The detective office located on the highway was busy. The girl before was barging in. She quickly sat down at her desk. She closed her eyes and took a moment to catch her breath.

The sound of a thud on the table startled her.

"Detective Song Yifei, how did you catch the killer when you're always late every day? Even your comrades have already left to investigate cases, and you've only just arrived here!"

The girl immediately stood up and saluted.

"Then I'm leaving now, Mr. Han!" she said then hurried to leave.

The middle-aged man with thin gray hair in front of her before widened his eyes and shouted again,

"Stop right there, Yifei. You're not going anywhere until you finish the punishment for your tardiness!"

Yifei who was already at the doorstep immediately returned. However she must obey the man because he is the leader.

***

The young man was in a dark room. Some photos hanging there. His face then returned to a smile as he hung several Yifei photos there.

Soon he rushed out of the room and locked it. The ringing of the phone made him pick up the phone immediately.

"Have you done it?" asked the voice on the other end.

"You take it easy. I'm still watching her. When the time is right, I'll take action."

"I hope you're not wasting your time, Leo."

"Of course not, but I still have to be careful. The target this time is very different. She's a detective. You don't want things to fall apart and she knows everything, right?"

"Fine, I trust you, but I hope you don't waste too much time and fail to finish this."

Leo immediately agreed. He then hung up the phone. Staring at the large mirror in front of him, he still smiled faintly.

***

The girl in the simple white dress lay stiffly. Her eyes widened with a deep fear. The wound in the form of a circular wound was clearly visible on her neck. Her hands and feet were tied with a red ribbon.

Several people rushed over to observe and then shook their heads. The girl had lost her life in such a sadistic way.

"How? Did you guys get anything?" asked the crouching man. His gaze did not leave the girl's corpse.

"Her name is Feiyang. She's a college student," replied the younger man standing not far from him.

"Then Detective Cheng, go to that girl's college now. Find out anything about her!"

The very young detective remained stunned in his place. The man who was with him turned and looked annoyed.

"What are you waiting for? Why are you still standing here? This investigation won't work if you don't hurry up and are still daydreaming in this garden. The culprit is probably preparing to flee!"

The rookie detective was still standing stunned. Slowly he responded to his senior's reprimand,

"But Senior, isn't this the same as the previous case? Maybe it's a serial murder case."

"So you want to stay put? All right, you stay here. No need to investigate!"

Detective Cheng immediately apologized and hurried off. He didn't want to listen to his senior's anger anymore because they hadn't been able to catch the killer from the previous case that had similarities to this case.

***

"What's the matter, Detective Huang? You sound so annoyed. Was it because I wasn't there?" Yifei asked. The girl was clutching the cellphone around her neck while organizing the messy files.

"You can still joke?" said the voice on the other end, sounding still annoyed.

"Things are really messed up here and that new kid even dares to disobey my orders. He's acting smart!"

Yifei chuckled. Detective Huang and Detective Cheng did not get along. Detective Huang, who is the most senior, has the right to give orders or decide something, while Detective Cheng, who is still new, tries to stand out in the team by giving his opinion.

All this time Yifei had always tried to mediate with them. Even though they are fighting, neither of the two detectives was hostile towards Yifei.

"So what? Do I need to go there? But what about my punishment? Mr. Han won't just let me go."

"All right, all right, you just stay there. Don't worry, I can handle that smart-ass brat."

Yifei laughed. She guessed that by now Detective Huang must be waving his hands and lighting a cigarette as was his habit when he was upset. Yifei's laughter then disappeared, she remembered that now they were in the middle of a serious case.

"So how did it go? Is there anything in common with the case we're working on?" she asked, after clearing her throat for a moment. Now their team is devoted to handling the 'Red Ribbon' murder case. Of course those who reported also found similarities with their team's previously unsolved cases.

"That's true, but we also have to investigate other possibilities. That's why I sent that idiot to the victim's campus."

Yifei fell silent. Just five days ago, another girl's body was found with her hands and feet tied with red ribbons in an abandoned park that had never been visited and now another body was found. People will be more and more anxious and doubt their ability to catch the serial killer.

"Could this be a serial murder?" Yifei asked in a low voice.

"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. We still have to investigate other possibilities."

Yifei agreed, even so she still felt bad.

'This case, could it be a serial murder case?' She muttered to herself.

***

Leo was alone in a dark room. He smiled as he took one of the photos which was none other than Yifei's.

"Calm down, we will meet soon. At this time, sooner or later the path we take will bring us together. Everything will be fun then," he said, looking at the photo of the detective girl with sparkling eyes.

The cell phone rang loudly in the room. Leo immediately picked up.

"What did you do until she is found die?" said the voice on the other side. In the background of the person who called, the sound of the television was heard reporting the death of the girl victim of 'Red Ribbon'.

A smile tugged at Leo's lips.

"Relax, everything will be fine. Nothing will go wrong."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
