Behind Closed Doors: Violence in Intimate Relationships (7 Volumes in Total)

About This Novel

There are 7 volumes in the set, namely "Almond", "Black Water Lily", "Only He Knows Everything", "Four O'clock in the Afternoon", "Headhunting Game", "Invisible Guest", "Rose's Encounter" and "Almond": Everyone has a set of structures in their head, which are similar in size and shape to almonds, so they are called "amygdala". When receiving external stimulation, the "amygdala" will light up red and react differently, making us feel joy, disgust, uneasiness or fear. But my "amygdala" seems to be broken and does not respond at all to any stimulation. The doctor said this is "alexithymia". To me, happiness and sadness are just abstract concepts; emotions and empathy are just vague printed fonts. But fortunately, I have my mother and me. Grandma, my life was not bad. Until that Christmas. First, it was my mother and grandmother, then three passers-by and a policeman who tried to stop me, and finally the man. Six people died and one was injured. The man's suicide note said, "Today, anyone who smiles will leave with me." Grandma died to protect me, and my mother became a vegetative state, and I just watched it all happen in front of me, without even a drop of tears. From that day on, no one called me a "cute monster" like my grandma, and I became a real "monster" in the eyes of others. Until I met another monster. "Black Water Lily": Everything was fake, but the murder in Giverny was real. Reality and illusion were intertwined, just like the black water lily, which was elusive in the west of Paris. In the small town of Giverny, where the famous painter Monet once lived, a murder linked the fate of three women: Fanette, an eleven-year-old girl with great artistic talent; Stephanie, the only female teacher in the town, and an old woman who witnessed everything in the dark. The three of them have a common secret, and they all dream of leaving Giverny. This beautiful village is like a prison for them. On this day in May, the cage of Giverny opened its door for them, only for them. The rules of the game were cruel: only one of them could escape, and the other two had to die. "Only He Knows Everything": "When I hit her for the first time, I expected more reactions from her..." A chilling story unfolded immediately. The writer Oliver has been in love with his wife for many years, and they have created many novels together. Excellent children's book, life is enviable. Until one night, after a pleasant dinner, Oliver suddenly punched his wife, causing her to curl up on the ground, and then continued to hit her until she was unconscious. The past was pieced together bit by bit... "Four O'clock in the Afternoon": Faced with his ugly body and boring soul, he remained silent and laughed endlessly. Is what I did a good deed to help others, or is it my own salvation? In order to escape from ordinary life, Emil, a middle school teacher, and his wife Juliet moved to a riverside cabin to hide in seclusion. As soon as they settled in, their only neighbor came knocking on the door. He arrived at four o'clock every afternoon and left on time after sitting for two hours. Emil tried to escape and asked his wife to pretend to be sick, but the neighbor kept calling. Emil finally couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Bernardin out of the house. But one night two days later, he heard the sound of machinery in Bernardin's house. He went over curiously and found Bernardin lying on the ground in the garage, turning on the engine of his car and trying to commit suicide...
