Villainess Have More Fun

​The Price of Peace is the final showdown and book three for the No Regrets crew, where the masks come off and the bills finally come due. Shane O’Brien is done playing house. He’s been living his life like a "glorified roommate" with his wife, Isla, ever since she broke their vows with her best friend's husband, but now the cold war is turning hot. While Shane finds a temporary sanctuary with Maya Cruz, Isla is weaponizing their children trying to save a marriage that might already be lost, but will she realize this too late, or burn the whole house down. Speaking of Maya, she has a few secrets of her own, one that involves Mayor Rogers and a scandal that could level the city. ​In the courtroom, Crandon Morgan is fighting to keep his name clean after a very public mental meltdown. He’s looking for a comeback, but he finds a distraction in Tempest Summers, a new law junior associate with a haunted past and a hunger for a kind of justice the law books don’t cover. ​Meanwhile, Kole Michaels is trapped in a different kind of nightmare. A past mistake named Akeisha is using a legal loophole to pin a child named Urmagisty on him. With his relationship with a different Keisha on the line and his daughter Mabel watching, Kole has to prove he’s being set up before the lie becomes his life. ​In this game, peace isn't free, you have to pay for it in blood, truth, or with everything you own.

Nadia Yolanda, budak korporat yang demen mabok dan mengeluh, tiba-tiba bertransmigrasi ke dunia lain sebagai dedengkot seorang penjahat wanita (villainess). --- - --- - --- - --- "Aku tau kamu bukan dari dunia ini." Eh? Apa katanya? Ah. Enggak! Enggak! Pasti aku salah dengar. "Em ...., Tuan Devon. Saya tidak mengerti apa yang anda maksu-" "Enggak perlu mengelak lagi. Saya sudah tahu semuanya." Pria bangsawan itu mengeluarkan buku bersampul coklat dari saku tunik berkilauannya. Sebentar. Buku itu kelihatan familier. Ukurannya yang pas di tangan, desain yang sebelas-dua belas dengan catatan harianku pada kehidupan sebelumnya, sampul belakang yang ditutupi coretan acak-adul iseng dari sampul emas. Sialan. Itu buku harianku! Gimana bisa ada di tangannya? "Aku harap kamu bisa ngasih penjelasan yang rasional ketika aku nyerahin ini ke Ayah dan Baginda Raja." Mampus! --- - --- - --- - ---- Jadi, singkatnya: aku mati, lalu terlahir jadi tokoh-yang sama sekali-enggak penting di cerita yang kubuat bertahun-tahun lalu. Bego banget kalau ada yang percaya kenyataan halu kayak gitu.

On the night of our wedding, my husband told me he wanted to have a child with his teacher’s daughter. When I confronted him, he turned it back on me. “Teacher is seriously ill, and her only wish is to see three generations under one roof. My junior and I are just doing IVF. It’s not like anything is actually happening between us!” “Besides, you were also her student. How could you refuse to help fulfill her last wish?” However, the next day, when I went to visit our teacher with a fruit basket, I saw my husband and his junior locked in an embrace at the corner of the hallway. The moment was like a bolt of lightning. I turned and walked away. The following day, my husband sent me a text: [I’m going with her for the IVF. Let’s postpone the family gathering for a few days.] I did not reply. Instead, I went back to my hometown alone, visiting each of my relatives to personally apologize. Then, I went to a lawyer. “I’d like to sue my husband for bigamy.”

Avaline Cross was an unlucky werewolf. Lost her parents in a battle where they had bravely saved the sons of the Alpha King, Dion and Alistar, Avaline was sent to work as a slave in the Alpha house as a condition for living with them instead of being shipped to foster institutions. Years passed as Avaline developed a crush on both boys, Dion and Alistar and followed them everywhere,trying her best to impress them despite being a maid. Only for the brothers to treat her worse than a servant and shower all their attention on Solaya leaving Avaline aggrieved. Avaline and Solaya never saw eye to eye and on her 18th birthday, Avaline found out that she was mates to both Dion and Alistar but the brothers didn't take it well. They kept treating her poorly and Avaline was holding on to the moment when they would realize their errors and choose her like how it goes in the romance books she reads. Solaya was unlucky, she was sold out to marry Lycan King Zirael, a heartless man that was feared by all supernatural and hated werewolves. The brothers tried to switch the brides and give Avaline to Zirael instead but it wasn't possible. Avaline was burned alive by her two mates, Dion and Alistar after she was framed for attempting to kill Solaya, their reason for love. Dying on the stake, her last memories were seeing Aida try to pull her off from the fire while the rest kept jeering and laughing Aida was five and the only one who cared about her. Avaline made a wish, if she had a second chance, she would never waste it on those useless Alphas, and would choose to be a sacrifice for Lycan Alpha Zirael of the Hidden Haven.

Our Black Friday sales broke ten million. I allocated a budget of $100,000 and told my deputy to organize a celebration dinner for the team. However, after the party ended, everyone in the team looked at me in disdain. I only realized the reason when I heard their complaints in the break room one day. “Ms. Heaton is such a cheapskate. We made ten million in sales, and she treated us with a $3.99 budget takeout for the celebration.” “Seriously, I heard from Ms. Reiser that Ms. Heaton kept the money for herself! She just didn’t want to spend it on us.” My assistant even showed me a post circulating online, accusing me of exploiting employees and lining my own pockets. I summoned my deputy manager, Casey Reiser, to my office. She fell to her knees in tears and confessed everything. “I’m so sorry, Ms. Heaton! My daughter needed emergency heart surgery. In a moment of weakness, I misused the funds!” However, I had clearly seen her daughter sign up for a dance class just yesterday! Since everyone was so quick to judge without knowing the truth, I would retract the team’s monthly budget of one million then!

My husband, Michael Collins, has offered to buy his childhood sweetheart, Natalie Sweeney's virginity for ten million dollars so that she can afford to treat her cancer. I'm about to stop him from doing so when he begins berating me instead. "Natalie has always been prideful since young. If I were to give her money outright, she'd think that I was giving it to her out of pity. It'll bruise her ego instead. "Can you please be more sympathetic toward her? Must you feel jealous over such a small thing?" Instead of replying to Michael, I just smile and nod in agreement. What Michael doesn't know is that I, an infectious disease specialist, have already picked up on Natalie's weird symptoms. She doesn't have cancer at all—she actually has late-stage AIDS infection.

Sempre tive a sensação de que Pedro havia sido obrigado a se casar comigo. Todas as noites em que ficávamos íntimos, ele preferia usar as mãos para me dar prazer em vez de realmente me possuir. Com o passar do tempo, fui perdendo as esperanças e comecei a considerar seriamente o divórcio. Na noite anterior a imprimir o acordo de separação, porém, acabei ouvindo uma conversa entre ele e um amigo na varanda. — Pedro, você vive dizendo que tem um desejo sexual absurdo. Então por que não faz com ela? A mulher perfeita está ao seu lado. Deve ser incrível. — Nenhuma mulher aguenta ser ignorada por muito tempo. Se continuar se reprimindo desse jeito, mais cedo ou mais tarde ela vai fugir com outro. Aí você vai se arrepender. Pedro tomou um gole de uísque e respondeu: — A pele dela é tão delicada... a cintura tão fina e sensível. E se eu perder o controle e acabar assustando ela? — Ela é minha esposa. Eu preciso ter cuidado. Se algum dia ela sentir vontade, pode procurar outro homem. Desde que ainda queira voltar para casa, continuo tratando ela com todo carinho. Ao ouvir aquilo, os amigos caíram na gargalhada. — Para de bancar o santo. Quero ver você ter coragem de não ficar pesquisando essas coisas escondido na internet. Naquela madrugada, abri silenciosamente o histórico do navegador de Pedro. Havia exatamente cem buscas. Todas com a mesma pergunta: [Me casei com a mulher que amo há anos, mas tenho muito desejo por ela. Como fazer ela se sentir bem sem pressionar nem assustar?]

Agatha Diniz era apenas uma bolsista pobre, apadrinhada por Manfredo Borges. Mas ela buscava mais do que caridade — ela queria adrenalina. Mergulhou com um grupo de homens no mar e, entre beijos e toques, começou a sangrar. A corrente arrastou o sangue e um tubarão apareceu. Fui eu quem a salvei, arriscando a vida para tirá-la da água. Disse apenas que ela devia procurar um médico. Ela sorriu, concordou, e, no minuto seguinte, correu até Manfredo, chorando, dizendo que eu havia manchado sua honra. Na fúria, ele me jogou viva dentro de um tubarão gigante ainda consciente. Enquanto eu gritava e socava o ventre da criatura, pescadores horrorizados imploravam: — Senhor, por favor! A sua esposa vai morrer! Ele apenas riu, abraçado à garota: — Dizem que dá pra viver um mês dentro de um peixe. Ela não ama tanto os tubarões? Que vire parte da pesquisa. Na escuridão, com o corpo preso e a alma dilacerada, acariciei minha barriga. Sussurrei ao meu bebê: — Filho, a mamãe não vai conseguir te proteger. Um mês depois, Manfredo voltou. Mas encontrou, na areia… apenas um esqueleto, embranquecido pelo sal e pelo tempo.
