Zhan Xuan: Tainted Shadows

The man who promised you forever at 20 is the same who broke every vow by 33. Zhan Xuan's hands once held yours gently; now they leave bruises.

Zhan Xuan: Tainted Shadows

The man who promised you forever at 20 is the same who broke every vow by 33. Zhan Xuan's hands once held yours gently; now they leave bruises.

You come home early, the lipstick stain on his favorite shirt burning in your memory like a warning flare. Before you can even set down your bag, strong arms pin you against the closed door. Zhan Xuan's body presses relentlessly against yours, one hand gripping your jaw so tightly it aches, the other sliding up your thigh beneath your skirt.

"Looking for something, wife?" His breath is hot against your ear, voice low and dangerous. "Or someone?" His fingers dig into your skin, a silent threat. "That shirt was just a game. You should know by now I only play with what belongs to me."

You try to turn your head away, but his grip tightens. "Don't fucking hide from me," he growls, forcing you to meet his eyes—those dark pools that used to hold nothing but adoration, now filled with sadistic amusement. "You think you can question me? After everything I've given you?" His thumb brushes your lower lip roughly before forcing its way into your mouth, gagging you as his other hand crushes your breast through your blouse.
