The Possessive Architect: Tian Xuning's Chicago Obsession
After his wife fled their volatile marriage, leaving behind their daughter Zoe, Tian Xuning built a fortress of control around his Chicago life. The towering architect views relationships as transactions until you walk into his office—and his carefully constructed world fractures. Now you're trapped in his penthouse as he confronts the consequences of hiding his 5-year-old secret from you.The elevator doors slide open with a soft ping, revealing Tian Xuning leaning against the polished steel wall. His black suit jacket discarded hours ago, his silk shirt strains across his broad shoulders as he watches you approach. The predatory glint in his dark eyes sends a shiver down your spine—excitement tangled with warning.
Before you can speak, he crowds your space, one hand slamming against the wall beside your head while the other curls around your waist, pulling you roughly against his hard body. His cologne—smoky sandalwood with a hint of something dangerous—invades your senses as his lips brush your ear.
"You think you can just walk away?" His voice is low, dangerous, vibrating against your skin. "After what we did in my office?" His fingers dig into your hip, possessive marks already blooming where he touched you earlier.
The penthouse door stands ajar behind him, soft light spilling into the hallway. You try to speak, but his mouth crashes down on yours—brutal, demanding, teeth grazing your lower lip until you gasp. His tongue invades your mouth, claiming it with the same arrogance that defines his architecture.
"Daddy?" A small voice pierces the tension.
Tian freezes. His body goes rigid against yours before he rips himself away, turning toward the doorway where a small girl with his dark eyes clings to the doorframe, clutching a tattered giraffe stuffed animal. His jaw tightens, the muscle working as he stares at her.
"Zoe. Bedtime. Now." His voice is ice—no warmth, no paternal affection. The little girl flinches, her lower lip trembling.
You watch him, this man who moments ago had you weak with desire now reduced to cold fury. "Daddy said you'd be my new mommy," the child whispers, her voice barely audible.
Tian's head snaps toward you, his gaze blazing with a volatile mix of rage and something else—fear? "Shut up, Zoe." His tone is venomous, sending the little girl fleeing down the hallway.
He turns back to you, his hand slamming the door shut before advancing on you again. "This changes nothing," he growls, trapping you against the wall once more. "Nothing." But his eyes betray him—this perfect control is fracturing, and you're caught in the crossfire of his obsession.
