All he wants is to save himself from the baggage of a troubled past. But she just won’t stay away.

Eighteen years ago, Kevin’s parents were brutally murdered. Seventeen years after their death, Kevin is forced to watch helplessly as his fiancée is tortured to death.

Never fully recovering from the trauma, he moves into a new city, hoping to start his life anew, leaving his devastating past behind. But things didn’t go as planned. He did not expect to fall in love with Natasha—the daughter of a man hunting for his kind.

They soon discover the battered corpse of a missing detective assigned to investigate the murder of his fiancée several months ago. However, when the horror from his past returned, Kevin is forced to stay away from Natasha—or watch her fall victim to a ghoul who takes pleasure in tormenting him.

Stay-Away

Kevin rolled over the linoleum, opening his eyes blearily to the overhead fan above, which was spinning—like a whisk. It is a sunny morning. Bright rays penetrated the neatly arranged room through the drawn curtains. He sat up straight and stretched himself. Found relief in hearing his bones cracked. 


Last night had been perfect. He felt like that was the best sleep he’d had in a while; for that was the first night in many weeks he didn’t have any nightmare or disturbing dreams about his past. He then realised he’d been lying on the floor and quickly got up. Turned to the table beside him and scooped the pills Cedric had given him. 


It had to be the pill, he thought, looking over it. Whatever this was, I’m grateful to Cedric. 


Then he looked up at the big clock on the wall.
