Novel & Cerita I Woke Up As The Villain

The comb disappears into the dark below, toward the shimmering veil of the Forbidden Zone. I realise, with a calm that does not belong to a dying woman, that I will follow it. Liam tilts my face up to his. He does this gently, with one hand, the way you tilt a lover's face to kiss her. His blue-and-purple scales are flecked now with my blood. His silver-tipped fins catch the last of the twilight the way the comb did. He is beautiful. He has always been beautiful. I hate him with a depth I did not know I had, because I am, or I have been, a queen who kneels in the market to sing babies to sleep and who has been told all seven months of her reign that she is too soft for this throne.

"Mama, wake up..." Something sickly sweet dripped into my mouth. My eyes shot open. A little boy, who couldn't have been more than five, was holding a crushed apple juice box, the straw aimed right at my face. "What the hell?" I shoved the juice away and struggled to sit up. This wasn't my soft bed in the Valence mansion. It was a dark alley behind a restaurant. "Mama!" The little boy's gray eyes lit up, and he threw his short arms out to hug me.

But I couldn't even protest as I started slipping from consciousness. Isadore gently picked me up. "Hey... asshole," I tried to speak but began coughing up blood instead. "Did he survive?" I asked with a weak voice. Isadore didn't reply but I felt his muscles clench, then he nodded. "Good. Come fucking faster next time, will you?" I didn't get to hear his answer as I finally went to sleep wrapped in the villain's arms. Only one last thought came through my mind before I completely lost my consciousness.

Wait--what do you mean? “Just be careful when approaching the Duke. Although I’m not giving you my full consent but I believe in you.” I stood up and ran towards him in an embrace “Thanks, gramps! I won’t let you down!” “By the way, your suggestion during the meeting was commendable. I’m impressed, it was such a clever idea.” I released from his embrace and cracked a smile “Well if you’ve been through tough times a lot, you’ll become a schemer in no time.” He patted my head and chuckled “Keep it up and you’ll become the villainess the world will love.” “No villainess is loved, gramps. We’re always the bad guys hated by mankind but who cares?” I shrugged my shoulders and gracefully flipped my

A chant not for her, but against her. “Villainess. Villainess. Villainess.” Seren’s stomach turned to ice. They weren’t wrong. She wasn’t supposed to be here. She had just hijacked the heroine’s story. Kael leaned down, his breath hot against her ear, his voice pitched only for her: “Let them chant. A villainess…” His thumb brushed the line of her jaw, possessive and reverent. “…is far harder to forget than a saint.” The System hummed in satisfaction.

Before I could finish, he cut me off impatiently, "Yeah, work's calling. I have to go." He rushed out the door, and I didn't press him further. However, my doubts grew heavier. Was he really that busy? I followed him, and that was when I saw the happy family scene I had just described. I lifted my numb fingers and hit record, capturing the entire scene in front of me. When I returned home, I locked myself in my room and played the video on repeat. While I lay unconscious, someone else had quietly taken my place. What was the point of waking up at all?

I cut her off. “No. You do not get to say my name like that means something now.” That made her flinch. Good. I needed her to understand exactly how far I had moved away from trying to win her trust in that moment. I was done asking permission to protect my child. If they wanted to believe I was the villain, then fine. I would be the villain who found Leo. The villain who kept him alive. The villain who made sure he never had to grow up in this mess again.

He chuckled gently and mumbled to himself, “That’s right. I’ve forgotten. I’m a villain. A lowlife.” Vivian’s energy was failing her. Her consciousness was flitting in and out from her whenever it pleased. Sometimes, she would fall into a deep sleep, then she would awaken all of a sudden at some point. In her blurry stupor, he helped her up from the bed and forced a large bowl of glucose water down her throat. She also heard him speaking into her ear through gritted teeth, “Get up, Vivian. I’m setting you and Liam free. I’ll let you live happily ever after as long as you get up!”

Jayden asked. "No, the healing worked well, nothing is wrong with him physically." the doctor replied. "Then why isn't he waking up?" "His mind isn't okay. His heart has been broken. I suspect something happened that traumatized him so much that he doesn't want to wake up to face it." "So what can we do to wake him up?" Jayden asked. "you have to get his mate to bite him. Once she bites him that will give him the strength to wake up."

Well, during my father's reign, a lot of abductions happened. I had a nice cold bath. I finally had to put a mirror in my bathroom. I had to face myself and face my fears. But each time I looked into the mirror, all I saw was Echo. His dark cold eyes. His villainy portrayed through all nukes and crannies of my soul. Last night was darker than ever. The nightmare got me sleeping in the wrong side of my bed. Indeed, my life was a mess.
