Killers Don't Fall in Love Episode Five: You Were Never Supposed to Matter Remy POV

(Remy POV)

This was not the plan.

I work alone. I move fast. I don’t keep witnesses.

Now I’ve got a desperate man with too much pride and a kid who clocks danger faster than most cops breathing the same air as me while my past starts dialing my number like we’re old friends.

That’s cute.

Because the only people who call me anymore are dead… or trying to make me that way.

Seraphine doesn’t reach out unless something big is already in motion. She builds storms. She doesn’t chase strays.

Which means this isn’t just another bad night on the road.

This is escalation.

Callum still thinks he can outthink this. Still thinks there’s a version of events where he gets his kid home, washes the blood out of his shirt, and pretends none of this ever happened.

Blaire hates me. Openly. Professionally. Honestly? Respect.

But hatred won’t keep them alive. And neither will hope.

The truth is simple:

They’re in my world now. And my world doesn’t do safe exits.

I should’ve ditched them hours ago. Should’ve let the sirens take them and kept driving.

I didn’t.

Which means I’m already making mistakes.

And mistakes get people buried.

That’s Episode Five.

If we make it to Episode Six, it means one of two things:

I found a way out…

or I finally stopped running and let the past catch up.

Sydney Feron's Note

This is Episode Five of Killers Don’t Fall in Love, a 100,000-word dark romance thriller ebook.

This story contains morally grey characters, violence, crime, trauma, toxic relationships, and themes of survival, poverty, and obsession. This is not a sweet love story. This is a story about broken people making dangerous choices and finding connection in the worst possible circumstances.

Expect alternating POVs, high emotional stakes, found-family dynamics, and a fast-paced thriller plot that unfolds on back roads, in truck stops, and in places most people try not to look too closely at.

Welcome to the chaos.
