Villainess Is Retiring Novels & Stories

"Right. So selling them does have its benefits." Ren sneered. Maleficent's face went pale. "It is a good thing Valli is such a poster princess. Willing to jump into the fire herself. She will know agony like no other. You can count on it." "What does he mean!?" Valli asked. A sinking knot now formed in her stomach. She turned to Davido and questioned. "What are you not saying? Tell me Uncle!" They all remained quiet. Malificent just from sheer anger at what was done to Valli. But she was no longer the Empress, and would not interfere. Out in the open anyway. The moment she understood the full scope of what is going on would be a different story.

"I was trying to protect—" "You were trying to sabotage." Alaric cuts her off. "And the council will not tolerate it. You are hereby stripped of your position within the pack. You have one week to settle your affairs and leave Silver Crown territory. If you attempt to contact Princess Iris or Beta Ashford during that time, the exile will be immediate." Vivienne's face goes white. "You're exiling me? Over this?" "Over attempted manipulation of pack hierarchy." Alaric's voice is hard. "Over falsifying evidence. Over targeting our Princess with lies designed to hurt her. Yes. We are exiling you."

She was just glad they had them available. Her lips curled into a pleased smile. "One task completed," she murmured to herself. Keila shot her a questioning glance. "My lady?" Carmen shook her head, stepping back toward the door, the sound of her heels clicking against the marble floor. She cast one final glance around the boutique, her expression unreadable. "The next step," she said smoothly, "is stopping that wedding." Ipu inhaled sharply, her grip tightening around the packages. Even Keila, ever composed, faltered slightly.

“No, genius. Isla. She’s pulling moves we should’ve been pulling months ago. She’s using you to sell the idea of a new empire. One that she happens to be the only mouthpiece for.” Cillian leaned back in his chair, eyes still on the screen. Belle Bellington was seen leaving DCC—now rebranded under the St. James name. The question is, what is brewing behind closed doors? Kent whistled. “She’s not subtle.” “She doesn’t have to be.” Syl dropped his coffee onto the table. “Because it’s working. And you? You’re just sitting here being noble and silent while someone else writes your story for you.”

“Good morning to our global audience. We are broadcasting live from the Global Tech Expo, and today we sit with the woman whose name has dominated headlines in the last twenty-four hours—Cassienne Rhodes.” Polite applause from the limited in-house audience. “Known online for years as the mysterious NULLWRAITH, and more recently as Obsidian _13, she stunned the world not only with her victory, but with her revelation.” Amelia turned toward her. “Cassienne, thank you for being here.” “Thank you for having me.” Cassienne’s voice was steady and grounded. “Let’s begin with the question everyone is asking. Why hide for so long?” Cassienne didn’t rush.

Still, I went on, "My best friend and my husband had sex in my grandfather-in-law's casket on the day of his burial. Then, after I exposed them, my mother-in-law and these two tried to twist the narrative and paint me as the villain. "I am the victim here. I've suffered two betrayals from the people closest to me. This is the proof." I raised the phone. "They planned this themselves. I believe even my grandfather's spirit can see that I'm innocent. And I have all of you as witnesses." I turned to Dulce and finished, "Is there any doubt left?" Vincent suddenly sat up in the coffin. "Fuck you, bitch! Victim my ass! You caused this too!" he bellowed. "Yes, I'm cheating with Stephanie. So what?!

Even so, there was still something about her, an unsettling sense of authority that made my skin crawl. “Good evening,” Viola began. “As many of you know, I am Viola Monroe, CEO and owner of The Monroe Group. If you’ve been watching the news, then you’ve heard the lies about me, how my character and my company’s reputation have been tarnished. They claim I am trying to eliminate all shifters. That I want them wiped out. That I created a drug, or poison, as they call it, to destroy them.” She paused, a smirk forming on her lips. “Well, I’m here to tell you that every bit of that is true.” I stared at the screen, then glanced at Lyanna. “She’s actually admitting it? Why?”

] I felt a jolt of nausea as his mental gaze shifted toward me. [And then, Vanessa. Once your 'hero' is a cooling corpse, I will break your spirit and mark you right here on this floor. I’ll bind your soul so tightly to mine that you’ll forget you ever belonged to another. You are the crown jewel of this conquest.] [They think they’re so smart,] Lily hissed internally, her eyes darting to the High Council members seated nearby. [Matthew thinks he’s poisoning a few rivals. He doesn't realize I’ve laced the entire kitchen’s water supply with hemlock and silver dust. Every guard, every servant, every Alpha in this room will be vomiting blood by midnight. The rogue pack is waiting at the treelin

Is there a title dispute over this serum? There is no dispute, sir! Killian shouted, sweat breaking out along his hairline as he stepped away from the podium to shield Cynthia. This woman is a unstable, packless rogue. She was dismissed from our laboratories for gross incompetence and corporate espionage. She is trying to disrupt this conference to extort our alliance! Am I? Valerie asked, a cold, mocking smile cutting across her face. Cynthia, why do not you start the slide deck? Show the international elite the brilliant core molecular structure of your miracle serum. Let them see your work.

She lost the most precious thing to her as a woman and I know how depressing it is when you start questioning yourself with regards your worth. “Go ahead and take some rest. I want you to be bold, guys are nothing, they don’t deserve your tears and besides, we already take our revenge, right?” I look at her and she bitterly smiled, “I’ll go ahead” Jai said and she headed inside their house. I get back into the car and we drive straight into our house, “I’ll see you tomorrow Quinn, same time” Hailee said, “yeah” I simply responded and walked in.
