In My Next Life I'll Win the Heart of the Male Lead
There's nothing wrong with Adelaide's life. There's nothing wrong with being cheated on. After all, half of marriages end in divorce and most end from infidelity. There's nothing wrong with getting addicted to an otome game. After all, everybody has something they're obsessed with. There's nothing wrong with reincarnating as the villainess instead of the heroine. After all, the villainess is richer and more powerful. There's nothing wrong with the villainess chasing after one of the love interests. After all, it's not like he's the canon route. There's nothing wrong with Ophelia's life.
The Wish of the Villainess
I don't move.
I can't move.
I can't look.
Because what I just heard...can't be true.

A gentle hand touches my cheek and turns my face toward...
Toward Lucas.
Tall. Dark hair, green eyes, devilishly handsome - no.
Absolutely infuriating.
Irritating.
Obnoxious.
Infuriatingly irresistible bastard.
He smiles.
So softly.
"...Hello."
There's no missing the adoration in his gaze as his hand brushes against my cheek, loving.
There's a tension in his muscles. A wariness.
He's expecting me to start yelling at him at any moment.
I'll do much worse than yell at him.
I grab his stupid face and pull him in for...
an angry
furious
desperate kiss.
