Nina's POV. One word to describe the Women's Wear? It would be superb. Very beautiful. It feels like I'm living in a fairytale dream. Dresses were arranged in an orderly manner based on their style, color, and material. The whole boutique looks so fancy and clean, I'm embarrassed. I looked left and right to see more, it turns out that not only dresses are their but also accessories, such as feather hats, gloves, shoes, and parasols. It's like I'm appreciating the clothes of those days more now. It's really beautiful and very elegant to look at. The designs and decorations are very detailed. They are placed symmetrically. It can't be easily seen somewhere else. We continued walking until we got to a private room. Amy quietly follows me. I don't know, it's just my feeling but Amy doesn't feel human, maybe it's just my impression. How did I come up with that conclusion? It's because of her expression. There wasn't even a trace of emotion on her face, not even a cold expression. Just
Chapter Seven.Nina's POV"What the!? Hurry up or else they will catch us in no time!" the stranger shouted at me.I don't remember why I followed him but I just found myself being dragged by him while running.When I heard him shout at me, the pulse on my temple almost burst. How dare him! This is my fastest run.I suddenly have the impulse to hit him if we're not being chased and it isn't my fault if I run slow. For pete's sake, I'm not an athlete and I'm wearing this heavy dress."Why are you running!"I can't stop yelling at him because I'm already getting tired and he has the audacity to complain. And come to think of it, why are we running!? Why am I even running?I can't also understand myself, why did I let myself to be dragged here? Well what else? I can't break the grip on my hand, that's the very reason why to this day I am still following him.This stupidity! Why am I so weak!? I can't even pull my hand and stop him from running."Just! Hurry up!? You are so dramatic," he
Nina's POVOh no...Where am I?I looked around to see any familiar place or direction. I was so stupid! How the heck would I know the direction if I don't know where I am?! I didn't know the plaza's blueprint.Why did I run without asking the direction of Disfraz Boutique? I sometimes hate myself because of my stupidity but I'm not that dumb you know! I still remember the boutique's name.Yeah, even though I'm a bit stupid, I still have brains. But knowing the name would be a total help.Stupid Nina! How dare you memorize everyone's name from every Korean group you stan but can't memorize a simple direction!I suddenly felt pity for myself while lampooning. And I'm a little bit guilty whenever I get pissed at those female leads getting lost, sometimes I insulted them on why some protagonist of a story is stupid and clumsy.But know I finally understand them, how ironic not as a female lead but as a villainess.I'm very sorry. I sincerely apologize for my insult now that I tasted my v
Chapter Nine.Nina's POV.Jungkook saranghae!Jungkook smiled at me, offering his right hand.Wahhhhhhh!!! Oh my goshhhhh is this real? This is it! I can finally hold my ultimate bias.I couldn't stop shaking from excitement. I was about to hold his hand when he seemed to step away.What's wrong Jungkook?He slowly lowered his hand and his smiles were gone.What's happening?! Why!? Why!Everything went blurry and I just saw Jungkook being pulled by a...A...Beautiful lady....A very pretty lady that exceed the standard!Dang I lose! I mean compared to that lady who was beautiful, have smooth white pearly skin I'm just a speck of dust! And she have gray eyes!Gray eyes!She turned to me and grinned while pulling Jungkook away from me and hook onto his arm.WAHHHHH!!! Jungkook comeback to me my darling! don't leave me please I can't live without you–Knock. Knock.Huh? What's that!?"Lady Marina!" Rita screamed?Is that Rita?Huh? Wait? What's happening?

Chapter Ten.Nina's POVThis is it.This is the time.It is now starting.The first chapter of the novel Illuminating Darkness is finally here.We are now in front of the mansion where the Edwards luxury carriage is located.I faced my parents or should I say Lady Marina's parents. They really kept their promise that they would see me off. I wonder why Lady Marina grew wicked, her parent wasn't the type of bastard who always compares their child to others or do crazy kinds of stuff.There are many possible reasons why but I don't know. Until now I still don't know anything about Lady Marina's backstory. Mostly villains on the movies and books do have some nasty one.I just can't help but be curious.I took a deep breath to free my mind from stress. I still can't get over from our talk with Lady Niñana. I suddenly got the chills just by mentioning her name. It doesn't fit right next to me.I should clear up my mind because this is the beginning of Illuminating Darkness. I should never
Chapter Eleven. Nina's POV Gina… The moment her pure violet orbs met I could guess she is Gina, the heroine of the story. I cannot possibly be wrong about this, based on the descriptions of Janna and Mary she is Gina. And the other thing is, there is something inside me, like an instinct telling me it is her. I don't know why, I couldn't explain this feeling. It's like someone is whispering in my ears. I stood frozen, staring at her beautiful face. She really is beautiful without a doubt, not just simply beautiful. Her beauty is not like others, her beauty isn't a one-time glance but instead, she gets more beautiful the longer you stare at her. But shoot! What do I do now? I didn't expect to see her today. It wasn't part of the plan so why?! why is this happening!? Confusion was written all over her face. She looked surprised and couldn't believe that I knew her. Her bright violet eyes are covered with curiosity, making her more innocent like a little frail bunny. Who wouldn't
Chapter Twelve.Nina's POVA clear empty sky, no stars, and a silent night. Today is indeed amazing and disturbing.A lot of things happened today, many things got off hand. Things I didn't expect to happen in the early phase. Why did we meet again? I'm about to lose my mind thinking about what will happen in the morning.I should have expected the famous quote “Expect the unexpected.”But can you blame me? Those things only happen to the main characters. As far as I know, Lady Marina isn't the main character. It was really a good thing that I was able to run immediately.But what do I do now? I'm pretty sure she would remember me. Should I pretend that it wasn't me she saw last time?Know I'm on a tightrope. I can't help but blame myself for being stupid. Why did I chase the dog I don't like to chase others. I can't even run fast, so it was all futile. Even if I chase it there is a big possibility that I won't be able to catch the dog.So stupid of me to think I could catch it. Look
Chapter Thirteen.Nina's POV."Who's there!?"Suddenly we heard a shout from the right. My eyes went wide like an owl's when I saw a glimpse of faint yellow-orange light moving.Then followed by heavy footsteps.Our eyes widened when we heard that voice.It's the guards! It's the freaking guards! And it looks like they are getting closer to where we are.Oh my gosh! This can't be happening right?! How could this happen?I'm starting to panic. My pupils shrink, my hands tremble in fear, and my body turns cold. Why are my scenes always like this!? Is this a type of curse lurking on me? A bad luck because I'm a villain?There are so many possibilities that come to my mind right now. Getting caught, sent to prison, and then, punished by hanging."Tsk. Meirda," he said softly cursed so I looked up, his golden eyes met mine.Very amazing. It's shining like a star in the middle of the night. A fairytale-like experience.He frowned and stared at me. He squinted his eyes, observing me.Darn! I
