Critical Chain Novel

I am Angel Lim. An avid fan of a popular novel called, 'The Angel They Adored'. It was a reverse harem story where countless men fell in love with the heroine. It's a great masterpiece but I always hated it whenever the greatest villainess harrases her. Yes. That's what I thought before reading the last chapter of the novel. It was the dying moment of princess Ledecia and for the first time, she reminisced her life. "Why did I even exist in the first place if all in my life I'll be in pain?" Those are the last words she utters before dying. And It was very painful. *Knock knock* I paused my thoughts when I heard a loud knock coming from the front door of my apartment. "I'm coming" "Delivery from lily's shop ma'am" I opened my door as I slowly approached the man standing before me. "Oh sorry? But I didn't---" realizing what he said, I immediately tried to said that I didn't order anything but my words were interrupted by a sudden pain. A sharp thing, pierced through my stomach I groaned as I see the blood flowing from my chest. How unfortunate. I wish I had treasured my life more. In the middle of losing conciousness, my honest feeling came out If I'll have the chance to live once again, I'll live free and happy. But then when I opened my eyes, I was transported into Princess Ledecia's body - a villainess from my favorite novel!

Sa isang maliit na isla na tinatawag na Tabon nakatira si Lavender, isang simpleng dalagang sanay sa tahimik at payak na buhay. Isang gabi, habang inuutusan siyang puntahan ang kaniyang ama sa dalampasigan, natagpuan niya ang isang estrangherong lalaki—basang-basa, sugatan, at halos walang malay. Tinulungan niya ito at doon niya natuklasang wala itong maalala—hindi kung sino siya, saan galing, o kahit ang sariling pangalan. Ngunit isang bagay ang siguradong malinaw: hindi siya ordinaryong tao. Sa mamahaling suot, ginto niyang relo, at tindig na tila sanay sa karangyaan, malinaw na malayo ang pinanggalingan niya sa simpleng mundo ni Lavender. Sa paglipas ng mga araw, unti-unting nabuo ang isang koneksyon sa pagitan nila, kahit hindi alam ng lalaki ang sarili niyang nakaraan. Ang hindi alam ni Lavender—ang lalaking sinagip niya ay si Adrian Zevion Alcantara, ang nawawalang tagapagmana ng isang malakihang negosyo sa siyudad, na tinutugis ng mga taong gustong kontrolin ang yaman at kapangyarihan ng kaniyang pamilya. Ngunit sa muling pagbabalik ng kaniyang alaala, kailangang pag-desisyunan ni Adrian kung saan siya kabilang—sa marangyang mundong pinagmula niya o sa simpleng buhay na nagbigay sa kaniya ng bagong dahilan para mabuhay… at magmahal.

The air in the penthouse was thick with unspoken words and the lingering heat of a shared victory. He stood before her, the ice in his gaze finally melted, revealing a raw vulnerability that stole the breath from her lungs. “This wasn’t part of the contract,” he murmured, his voice a rough caress as his thumb traced the line of her jaw. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic bird against the gilded cage of their agreement. “I know.” His fingers tangled in the hair at the nape of her neck, tilting her face up to his. The world narrowed to the space between them, to the shocking warmth of his skin against hers. “Then tell me to stop, Ivy. Give me the rules. Give me the clause.” She should. Every instinct for self-preservation screamed at her to rebuild the walls, to remember he was her enemy, her jailer, her temporary husband. But as she looked into the stormy grey depths of his eyes, she saw not the ruthless CEO, but the man who had just looked at her daughter as if she were the most precious thing in the world. So, she didn’t speak. Instead, she rose onto her toes, closing the distance, her lips a breath away from his in a silent, devastating answer. The first kiss was not a conquest, but a surrender. It was not about revenge or contracts. It was a question, and in the shuddering breath he released against her mouth, she found her answer. The cold, platinum wedding band finally felt warm against her skin.

The Moon Goddess gave Lois a mission—kill Alpha Erika and end his blood-soaked reign. Lois was born with tattoos that carried the sacred map to the one weapon that could avenge the massacre of the Moonland Pack. Sent by the Moon Goddess herself, she was created for one purpose: To destroy the Alpha who dared to erase the descendants of the divine. But to reach him, she must first get through his son. And his son, King was everything she hated—until he became everything she couldn’t resist. As Lois uses King to get to Erika, she never expects to fall for the monster trapped inside him. Nor does she expect betrayal, exposure… and a child growing within her. Now hunted by her enemies and abandoned by the Goddess who once chose her, Lois must make an impossible choice: Save the man she was sent to kill or plunge the dagger into his heart before he loses control and destroys everything—including her.
