When the Villainess Goes Good

The moment I became aware of my role as the "vicious female supporting character," the male lead—my childhood friend whom I had imprisoned and tortured—was kneeling at my feet, his teeth gritted against the pain, his body trembling.

My hands froze.

In the story, I imprison the male lead, Daniel Thorne, torturing him physically and emotionally, subjecting him to every kind of humiliation.
