My Scheming Little Devil - Chapter 1102: Engraved in the Deepest Recesses of the Heart

[Mature Content:]Alaric was too close to Nicolette.Her mouth was just inches away from his.He could smell the lavender on her skin, the heat radiating from within her.But he held back, refusing to be carried away by her charm…“Mr. Allens…” she purred, and he looked down at her.Her eyes widened with desire, and he knew, in that moment, that if he wanted to kiss her, she would let him.The last thing he wanted was commitment. He knew that Nicolette didn’t want that either.But why was she this tempting?So willing?It was that willingness that confused him.She blinked, then swallowed as she pulled the jacket off her shoulders. His eyes lingered on her exposed neck.God.He just wanted to bury his mouth in that hollow spot.“Here,” Nicolette said calmly, extending the jacket to him.He took the jacket, his hand brushing hers just a second. She flinched, her face turning pink as she clutched the towel against her chest.His stomach flipped at the sight.If only that towel would give way to…Before he could stop himself, Alaric pressed his arousal against her stomach, pushing her against the wall, cornering her.She gasped at the sudden movement and for a moment, he lost his mind.“Cole…” he breathed, crushing himself against her.Her eyes gleamed with desire and a vulnerability that rocked him to his core.He would be foolish not to give in to this feeling.But he would also be a fool if he did.She had chosen to marry him.Not her boyfriend.And definitely not Lucian Crawford.Yet, he couldn't help it.She was only his for a year.But still…***************When her business and the gallery she inherited from her mother burn to the ground, Nicolette Voss is determined to rebuild—and get revenge on her father.She turned to her father’s rival, Alaric Allens, for an alliance.Alaric is willing to help, but on one condition—she must be his wife for a year.They called him Ruthless Alaric after an infamous incident 6 years ago.

Daniella was ready to pull the trigger when she felt a warm hand touches her hand.

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn’t help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire.

Firstly, what in the world is the “Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis” spell? And don’t even get me started on the “Osteoporosis” spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like “Blood Burn,” “Gradual Freeze,” and “Mental Chaos.” Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities?

Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield “Doomstorm” and “Ice Age,” swordsmen boast “Sword Rain: Homecoming” and “Wind-Cutter Slash,” while archers showcase “Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars” and “Storm Arrow.” Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named “Cancer Cell Proliferation,” “T-Virus Infection,” and “Rabies Outbreak.”

In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, “Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!”

Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, “Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don’t know!”

Even a boss character confesses, “Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!”

Modern-day corporate worker Chi Yuan opens her eyes to find herself transported to the fictional Primal Age.She inherits a mess left by her original father's past actions, filled with hatred.In front of her are five Beast Husbands, forcibly bonded by a wandering beast father, who are on the verge of turning dark for revenge.Facing these Beast Husbands, who are ready to tear her apart, Chi Yuan only feels a chill on her neck.Well, as long as her mindset is good, everywhere is Bali.Planning her escape through the night, she first takes a gentle approach to soothe the five Beast Husbands who are about to darken.Then, she seeks out the beast father with unrivaled combat abilities, hoping to sever ties with the blood of the antagonists!With her powerful golden finger, Chi Yuan walks into the comfort zone she's always dreamed of.Yet, the five Beast Husband big shots surround her, looking at her as if she were a heartless betrayer.Chi Yuan is dumbfounded...Paranoid and gloomy White Snake: “Just because I was kind to that little Ba Snake, you're jealous and want to break the bond, right?”Stunningly beautiful Merfolk: “I'll do anything for you, as long as you don't break the bond.”Commanding Lion: “You've boarded my pirate ship, you can't get off.”Sharp-tongued Celestial Crane: “So, sister has found better Beast Husbands than us?”Possessive, damp Fox: “You can only be mine, otherwise...”Chi Yuan: Weren't they supposed to hate her and want her dead? How did they end up in a competitive battleground for her affection?
