I hated that I wanted to fight him, but also… I hated that a small part of me didn’t want to. And I knew one thing for certain: this was only the beginning. Because once someone crosses a line and refuses to let go… they don’t stop. And neither, apparently, would I.

"If I’m not perfect—if I don't get the best grades, the best social standing, the best husband—I’m a 'failure.' Asher was supposed to be my escape. He’s a Vale. My father would have respected that. But he chose you." I froze. The wit that usually sat on the tip of my tongue felt like lead. I looked at the bruises, then at the terror in her eyes. In this world of elite schools and fast bikes, I’d forgotten that every villain has a origin story. Vivian wasn't just a mean girl; she was a victim who had decided to become a monster to survive. "Vivian," I said, my voice softening despite myself. "That doesn't give you the right to destroy people."

If you’ll attend her show. Of course. Of course they’d figured it out. The narrative was already forming. I could see it: Billionaire CEO’s discarded wife rises from ashes to build fashion empire. The wronged woman. The phoenix. The revenge story everyone loved. And I’d be cast as the villain. The man who threw away a diamond to chase after glass. Another text. Vivian this time. **Vivian:** *Just saw something interesting. Call me.* I called. She answered immediately.

A girl you thought who would never leave you, now doesn't care about you as if you wouldn't even exist for her, wouldn't want to see you, hates you to the core, and has left you because not only am I the villain for her but apparently I was the one who was chasing her the whole time like an obsessive person who is trying to get anything he wants. Her boyfriend thinks that I am a perv or something who would try to look at her girlfriend in a wrong or tries to tease his girlfriend and lies to him to put his girlfriend in a negative light and tries to be good in front of her all the people and blames his girlfriend. So basically a girl hates me forever and a guy thinks I am someone who can't be

Raphael returned her smile wholeheartedly as he gently caressed her shoulder, but the glint in his eyes told Tami that he was about to make a joke about something—something that she is not likely to like. “Hhhmm. It was great and all, but I still don’t like that the male lead went to prison for four years,” he said as his smile grew wider. Tami glared up at him and used the stack of paper to slap his chest. “It’s realistic and it gives the end an unexpected twist. Not everyone can get away with kidnap like ‘The Raphael De Léon’, you know?” “Sshh.” He placed his index over her lips, and she playfully bit it to get rid of it. “I’m just kidding, mi nena. I love it.”

The night Cassian Arden met Seraphina Laurent. The night Elena Vale became the villainess. Her fingers curled tightly around the edge of the table. Because she remembered. Every chapter. Every humiliation. Every death flag. She wasn’t in her world anymore. She was inside a novel. A bestselling romance story she once read during chemotherapy nights before everything went dark. And she had become the character everyone hated. Elena Vale. The obsessive fiancée. The “villainess who burns at the end.” Her legs weakened. She almost laughed.

" His voice was gentle, his posture humble. He sounded exactly as he always did when he was trying to calm me down. But now, as I stared at the endless stream of floating comments scrolling before my eyes, a chill spread through my entire body. [Wait, this isn't right. If this crazy woman pushes the male lead away, how is she supposed to get HIV?] [I'm still waiting to see the villainess get sick, lose her baby, and die a miserable death. The plot isn't going off the rails, is it?] [Relax. The male lead hasn't even met the love of his life yet! Once he does, he'd give up everything, even his life, to save her. Does a psycho like this woman really deserve him?]

“That’s harder to judge than a clean villain would have been.” “I know,” I said. “Dexter was the same,” she said. “Jessica too, in her own way. Even Anthony.” She looked at me. “Why does it keep being this complicated?” “Because people usually are,” I said. “The clean villains exist in stories.
