Princess Natasha Nicholai had spent thirteen years drenched in blood, a weapon in her twin sister Dalilah’s hands. Manipulated by Dalilah’s cunning cruelty, Natasha unknowingly carried out the slaughter of hundreds of innocents—including her own brother and dearest friend, Valerian. The weight of her crimes crushed her, but not before they finally caught up to her. In the shadow of the Imperial Palace, her execution was swift and cold—a fitting end for a pawn of betrayal.

But fate wasn’t done with her yet.

Instead of meeting eternal death, Natasha awakens in her own past, months before her fourteenth birthday—the day Dalilah’s control began. Staring at the familiar walls of her childhood, Natasha is haunted by the faces of those she once killed and the blood on her hands. This time, she vows, will be different. No longer will she be Dalilah’s puppet. This time, she will protect her younger brother, shield her friends from the senseless bloodshed, and dismantle her sister’s twisted schemes before they take root.

And this time, she will make Dalilah pay.

But as Natasha seeks her revenge, she uncovers dark secrets that go far beyond her sister’s betrayal. Someone stole her magic when she was only four years old, leaving her vulnerable to Dalilah’s manipulation. Someone—some force—gave her this second chance. But why? And for what purpose?

Her search for answers brings her face to face with Ethan Theodore, a dangerous man cloaked in shadows, whose ruby-red eyes seem to see straight into her soul. He is an enigma, bound to her fate by a thread she can’t quite unravel. Whether he will help her or destroy her remains a mystery.

In ‘The Villainess is Back to Life', Natasha must confront the demons of her past, carve her own path forward, and unravel the web of magic and destiny that binds her. In a world where betrayal is blood-deep and fate is as unforgiving as steel, she will have to decide whether to become the hero of her own story—or embrace the villainy she once lived.

The Villainess is Back to Life

ASH WAS ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING WHEN he stopped midway and stared at Chaos in my arms. "Where did this cat come from?" He came closer and lowered his back to face him. "She's so adorable!"

{"I'm going to scratch this dumbass' face if he touches me,"} I heard Chaos' voice in my mind and had to hold my laughter, seeing as how clueless Ash was about his actual nature. {"I'm serious!"}

When he was about to touch Chaos's fur, I held him higher, "It's my new pet," I exclaimed amused. "Isn't he a beauty?" Bringing him closer to my chest, I petted his head. Ash tried to caress him again, but I stopped. "He'll bite you if you try to touch him."

Sulking he stared at Chaos, "Oh, come on. I'm adorable, why would he do that?"

{"His conception of adorable is quite distorted,"} he muttered in my thoughts.

You should hiss then, maybe he'll get it.

{"Alright,"} then he hissed like a snake and even I got a little startled.
