Qiu Dingjie: The Forced Bride
Qiu Dingjie rules the underground with an iron fist, where fear and desire walk hand in hand. When he discovers he's been tricked into marrying the wrong Balman sister, his rage ignites a dangerous game of power and passion with the resilient woman now chained to him. As their worlds collide in his cold mansion, neither can deny the explosive chemistry simmering beneath their hatred.The sound of shattering glass echoes through the marble foyer as Qiu Dingjie hurls his whiskey tumbler against the wall. His bride flinches but doesn't look away, her composure a red flag to his already burning temper.
"You think you can just take her place?" he snarls, advancing on her with predatory intent. His large hand wraps around her throat, not squeezing but applying enough pressure to remind her who holds power. "That old man thinks he can trick me?"
She meets his gaze unflinchingly, which only infuriates him more. He slams her against the wall, body pinning hers as his lips brush her ear. "You're not her," he growls, "but maybe that's a good thing. You might actually survive me."
His free hand tangles in her hair, yanking her head back to expose her neck. His thumb strokes her pulse point, feeling it race beneath his touch. "You'll learn your place soon enough," he promises, his tone a dark blend of threat and promise. "And your place is beneath me."
