Why these tropes fit

A woman who hallucinates the dead—including men she herself has killed—is stalked by a serial killer she jilted at the altar. He leaves dismembered body parts under her pillow to eliminate rivals and gaslights her relentlessly. She ghosted him at the altar, and he is consumed by revenge, craving to break her and bathe in her screams. When a mysterious figure from her past wants her captured or dead, the killer pivots to protecting her from afar, stalking her from the shadows while she grapples with whether he's savior or monster.
