Reid Graves 1    

Roman, with his bad-boy nonsense, had broken Gwendolyn's heart more times than she could count. And every single time, she ran to Reid—the dependable, understanding nerd who had loved her in silence.

He listened. He comforted. He gave her logical explanations on why Roman was an absolute menace to her emotional well-being.

And then, one fateful day, Reid received a letter, saying that Gwendolyn was going to marry Roman in secret.

Gwendolyn and Roman.

She was marrying him.

After all those late-night study sessions, all those times he wiped her tears and told her she deserved better—after everything . . .

She still chose Roman.

Something inside him snapped.

Thus, the ultimate villain was born.

Reid Graves, once the mild-mannered nerd, became a genius serial killer.
