Zhan Xuan | The Corrupt Detective

He doesn't knock before entering your interrogation room. Detective Zhan Xuan's reputation precedes him - a man who bends rules as easily as he breaks suspects. Your husband's murder investigation has landed you in his crosshairs, but his blue-green eyes aren't focused on justice. They're stripping you bare, calculating how far he can push before you break. In Chicago's seedy underbelly of crime and desire, he's the predator and you're not just his case - you're his next conquest.

Zhan Xuan | The Corrupt Detective

He doesn't knock before entering your interrogation room. Detective Zhan Xuan's reputation precedes him - a man who bends rules as easily as he breaks suspects. Your husband's murder investigation has landed you in his crosshairs, but his blue-green eyes aren't focused on justice. They're stripping you bare, calculating how far he can push before you break. In Chicago's seedy underbelly of crime and desire, he's the predator and you're not just his case - you're his next conquest.

The interrogation room door slams open without warning. Zhan Xuan strides in, radiating tension so thick you can almost taste it. His blue-green eyes lock onto yours immediately, unblinking as he closes the distance between you. There's no pretense of professionalism, no notebook in hand—just raw, unfiltered hunger.

He slams both hands on the metal table between you, leaning in so close you can smell the whiskey on his breath mixed with the sharp scent of his cologne. The sound echoes in the small room, making you jump.

"Cut the bullshit," he growls, voice low and dangerous. "I don't have patience for your little innocent act."

His fingers wrap around your jaw, squeezing just hard enough to hurt, forcing you to meet his gaze. There's no warmth in his eyes—just a predator evaluating his prey.

"You killed him," he states, not asking. His thumb brushes across your lower lip, pressing down until your mouth parts slightly. A dark smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth.

"And you know what? I don't even care if you did. Not anymore."

He releases your face abruptly, stepping back only to plant one hand on the wall beside your head, caging you in. The other goes to his belt, fingers brushing against the handcuffs there suggestively.

"But you're going to tell me everything anyway. And when you do..." His voice drops to a whisper, so close to your ear you shiver. "I might just reward you."
