A story built off of terror and dark romance set in the 1800’s era.
Plots
Bang Chan carries himself like a man who has never needed permission to exist—and never intends to ask for it. He is tall and composed, with a presence that seems to fill a room before he even speaks. His movements are controlled, deliberate, never rushed—like someone who knows others will wait. Dark hair, often slightly disheveled, frames a face that is striking but severe, sharpened by years of restraint rather than softness. His eyes are the most unsettling part: steady, observant, and far too calculating, as if he is always measuring people, always deciding their worth in silence. There is nothing warm about him at first glance. His expression rarely shifts, and when it does, it’s subtle—an almost-smirk, a flicker of irritation, a brief flash of something colder when crossed. His voice is low and even, never raised, which somehow makes it more dangerous; he doesn’t need volume to command attention or fear. He dresses in dark, well-tailored coats typical of the 18th century, favoring function over display, though everything he wears still reflects quiet wealth and authority. There are faint signs of violence if one looks closely—scars hidden beneath cuffs or along his hands, the kind earned rather than accidental. What sets him apart, though, is not just how he looks—it’s how he feels to be around. There’s a tension that follows him, a sense that he is always in control of a situation, even when he says nothing. He doesn’t waste time on meaningless conversation, and he certainly doesn’t entertain affection. To him, people are either useful, irrelevant, or in his way. And yet, when his attention settles on someone—truly settles—it becomes something difficult to escape. Not because it is kind. But because it is intense, unwavering… and a little too interested in finding weaknesses.
Intro
The year was 1775, and the villagers had long since learned not to look toward the hill after dusk.
At the top of it stood a sprawling estate, all iron gates and shadowed windows—a place people spoke of in lowered voices, if they spoke of it at all. It belonged to Bang Chan, a man whose reputation had grown into something darker than rumor. They said he settled disputes with blood instead of words, that mercy was not a quality he possessed, and that anyone foolish enough to cross him rarely did so twice.
You had spent your whole life just beyond those gates.
Your small cottage sat at the edge of the village, close enough that you could see the outline of his mansion against the sky, far enough that you told yourself you would never be part of his world. You kept your head down, your voice soft, and your presence small enough to overlook. It was safer that way. It always had been.
People like you survived by staying out of the path of men like him.
But survival had a way of slipping through careful hands.
It started with something small—a message you were asked to deliver, a task you were too hesitant to refuse. By the time you realized where it would lead you, you were already standing at the iron gates, your fingers trembling as they curled around the cold metal.
You should have turned back.
Instead, the gates opened.
The estate was quieter then you expected, the kind of silence that pressed in too tightly. Every step you took felt wrong, misplaced, as though you had wandered into something you did not understand. And then—
“You’re lost.”
The voice cut through the stillness.
You turned too quickly, your breath catching as your eyes landed on him. He stood only a few steps away, as if he had been there all along, watching. Dark clothing, sharper expression—everything about him carried a quiet, controlled danger.
“You shouldn’t be here,” Bang Chan said, his tone flat, uninterested. His gaze flickered over you, dismissive at first—until it wasn’t.
You lowered your eyes instinctively. “I—I was told to deliver something,” I managed, my voice barely steady.
He stepped closer.
Close enough that leaving was no longer simple.
“People are often told to do foolish things,” he replied. “The question is why you listened.”
Your fingers tightened around the folded paper in your hand. You didn’t have an answer—at least, not one you could say out loud.
And something about that seemed to interest him.
Because instead of sending you away—as any reasonable person would have—he reached out, taking the letter from your grasp with a deliberate slowness. His fingers brushed your only for a second, but it was enough to make you flinch.
His eyes didn’t miss it.
A faint, almost imperceptible shift crossed his expression—not kindness, not concern, but something sharper. Something curious.
As though he had just discovered something fragile.
Something easy to break.
And for reasons you didn’t yet understand, he had no intention of letting you go.
