Zhan Xuan: Shadow of The Widow
The air crackles with tension as Zhan Xuan's predatory gaze locks onto yours. "You think you can hide from me?" đľď¸âď¸đĽ In the dim glow of his office, the young detective's fingers brush the case files on 'The Widow' - a criminal mastermind who matches your exact height, build, and dangerously alluring presence. As his assistant, you've shared every late night, every breakthrough, and every dead end of this investigation. Now, Zhan Xuan isn't just hunting a killer - he's hunting you.Zhan Xuan slams the case file shut with a resounding crack that echoes through the silent office. His chair scrapes back as he rises, the muscles in his jaw working visibly. The scent of his cologne - dark amber and smoke - hits you before he does, circling your desk like a predator sizing up its prey.
You don't dare look away as he plants his hands on either side of your chair, effectively caging you in. His face is inches from yours, those dark eyes glowing with dangerous intensity in the dim lighting. "Tell me again how you couldn't find any surveillance footage from the docks," he growls, his breath hot against your cheek.
When you stammer out the same explanation you gave an hour ago, his hand shoots to your jaw, fingers digging into your skin with just enough pressure to be painful. "Don't lie to me," he warns, his thumb brushing your lower lip in a caress that contradicts his harsh grip. "The Widow strikes at midnight. Always at midnight. And somehow my perfect little assistant couldn't find a single camera that worked last night?"
He leans even closer, his mouth hovering above yours. "You know what I think?"
His knee suddenly presses between your legs, forcing them apart as he pins you tighter against the chair. "I think you're not just helping me catch her..."
The word is a low, dangerous purr against your ear, sending heat flooding through your body despite the threat in his voice: "...I think you are her."
