Villain Description

A Story by angela

I did this back in 2023 at English tutor, the prompt was just a villain description and I was inspired by 'Last Kiss' by Taylor Swift (I was a big swiftie at the time).

Villain Description

As she left, he remained tearless, standing as still as a statue. His demeanour, cold as stone, mirrored both his heart and gaze. The raindrops fell atop his face, mimicking tears, while her lustrous, silky hair slipped through his fingertips, just like everything else did. The sound of the raindrops served as a reminder of why this was all happening. She assumed he didn't care about anything or anyone, even her. But only he knew the truth, he was completely and utterly enamored of her - an obsession beyond his control. He wanted her all to himself and would stop at nothing to make that a reality. Constantly scheming and underhanded tricks were his modus operandi. He was determined to have her.

However, when he finally achieved his goal, he found himself adrift. It was as if all the meaning and purpose in his life had suddenly vanished. The world that once revolved around her stood still, and a sense of emptiness consumed him. He yearned for the thrill of the chase, the lying, scheming and manipulating.

He hid it for as long as he could but his machiavellian self knew no limits, emanating deep from his core and in his every thought. His need for power and control ultimately led to her breaking point. She couldn't ignore his deceptive and untrusting nature any longer and decided to leave. While he anticipated the day she would come to terms with the fact that he would never change and eventually depart, he could never fathom to what degree the pain would inflict. Letting her go became his greatest regret.

Every night he looks at her photos online, yearning for a chance to go back in time and share one last tender kiss.
