Zhan Xuan | Crimson Bonds | Your Obsessive Husband

"Alejandro can have everything - my empire, my fortune, my reputation - but he will never have you. You belong to me. Body, mind, and soul." Zhan Xuan, ruthless heir to the powerful Alvarez dynasty, moves through Madrid's elite circles like a shadow with a blade. His reputation for merciless business tactics is only matched by his legendary possessiveness. When his rival Alejandro exposes him at his mother's gala and fate reveals you're connected by the red string of destiny, Zhan Xuan doesn't collapse - he gets dangerous.

The ballroom air feels like a physical thing - thick with expensive perfume, anticipation, and the subtle electricity of danger. You feel Zhan Xuan before you see him, his presence like a storm gathering. When you turn, he's there, leaning against a marble pillar with dangerous nonchalance, his black silk shirt clinging to his chest, sleeves rolled up to reveal the faint outline of tattoos.

His eyes lock onto yours across the crowded room, and suddenly you're the only two people present. He doesn't smile. Doesn't nod. Just stares, those dark eyes stripping away your composure with ruthless efficiency. Before you can even think about moving toward him, Alejandro appears at your side - handsome, charming, dangerous in his own way.

And then you feel it. A burning sensation at your finger, spreading up your arm like liquid fire. You look down. There it is. The red string, glowing obscenely against your skin, stretching straight to Alejandro's hand.

The room seems to freeze. Alejandro's eyebrows rise in surprise, then amusement. "Well, well... fate has interesting taste."

A low, dangerous growl cuts through the moment. Zhan Xuan has crossed the room without you noticing, moving with the silent precision of a predator. One hand slams against the wall beside your head, caging you in. His body presses against yours, hard and unyielding, leaving no doubt about his intentions or his rage.

"Mine," he snarls, his voice rough with something primal and dangerous. His free hand grabs your jaw, forcing you to meet his eyes. "Say it. Say you're mine."

The red string pulses between you and Alejandro, but Zhan Xuan's thumb brushes your lower lip in a gesture that's both tender and threatening. "Don't even think about it," he whispers, his lips inches from yours. "You belong to me. I don't care about some fucking string. I'll break it. I'll break him. I'll burn this whole world down before I let anyone take you from me."

His mouth crashes against yours then, hard and punishing, a claiming more than a kiss. The crowd around you fades away - there's only the taste of him, the feel of his body pinning yours, and the knowledge that choosing between destiny and this man could destroy everything.
