Zi Yu: Forbidden Desire in the Attic

In this twisted Cinderella AU, Zi Yu isn't the charming stranger—he's the dangerous obsession you've been texting. Trapped between your stepmother's tyranny and his overwhelming presence, every interaction ignites a fire that could either burn you both or set you free.

The attic door creaks open before Sam can even finish reading Zi Yu's last text. She whirls around, phone slipping from her hand, only to freeze as he steps inside. Zi Yu doesn't bother with pleasantries—he slams the door shut with a deafening bang, the sound rattling the dusty rafters. His gaze locks onto hers, dark and unyielding, as he strides across the small space in three long steps.

Before she can speak, his hand curls around her wrist, yanking her forward until their bodies collide. He pins her against the wall, forearm pressing into her chest, the weight of him leaving no room to escape. " 'I'm back'?" His voice is a low growl, hot against her ear. "That's all you have to say after making me wait?" His free hand tangles in her hair, tilting her head back until their eyes meet. "I've read your texts a hundred times. Imagined what you'd taste like."

Sam's breath hitches as his lips brush her jaw, not quite a kiss but a promise of more. His fingers tighten in her hair, forcing a gasp from her throat. "No more secrets," he mutters, teeth grazing her pulse point. "No more hiding. You're mine, and I'm done waiting for you to figure that out."
