100 Days to Seduce the Devil

"Master, wake up…"

Jane heard a very familiar voice. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision became blurry because of the light and mist in her surroundings. She blinked several times, instinctively rubbing her eyes in an attempt to clear her sight.

"Where am I?" Jane whispered, confused. She glanced around, seeing nothing but the pure white space stretching out infinitely. "Am I dead?" She felt like she was floating in the air.

Her heart clenched in her chest as she tried to piece together what had happened. Jane reflexively brought her fingers to her temples, expecting to feel a hole in her head. She shot herself right in front of Monica, Tatsumi, and Vincent. It was her admission of defeat. Killing them and staying alive were all meaningless since Ethan and Nathan were gone.

"Master! You've done it again for the second time around." Bam-Bam's upset voice resounded in her ears. It turned out the magical creature was flying behind her.

When she turned to look at him, Bam-Bam's hands were folded across his chest while looking upset. But there was a trace of tears in his eyes. 'Did he cry?'

"Why are you doing this to me?" The magical creature complained. "You left me with no choice again. Both you and Ethan! You know that I grew fond of both of you and I became attached. Even though I shouldn't be interfering anymore. But here I am… I can't turn a blind eye to those injustices!" Bam-Bam ranted out.

Jane was still confused, frowning at his words. "Why are you here? And tell me where I am." She asked him coldly. Jane felt like her heart had become numb. Her entire world was consumed by the loss of her loved ones- Nathan and Ethan.

It was so hard for her to accept it. She met Bam-Bam's eyes, her face filled with pain and rage.

"Fine. Master! I'm here to explain everything. I'm here again to make a deal with you while giving you a chance to correct the things you wanted in the past."

Jane's curiosity was piqued the moment she heard that.

"What do you mean by that?"

Bam-Bam's mood changed right away as he gazed at her with a newly found hope in his round eyes. His face lit up with enthusiasm while patting Jane's shoulder. "Remember, I've given you a One-hundred-day mission. Out of that one hundred days, you still have twelve remaining days."

"So? What's then? Nathan is gone. My son is gone. I don't want to live anymore." Jane stubbornly said.

"Master! Listen to me first. Sigh. Alright. I'll have to bring you there now."

Without waiting for Jane's response, Bam-Bam pressed his two paws together and a bright light suddenly engulfed them. It did not take long before Jane and Bam-Bam were transported back to the past.

After reaching their destination, Jane frowned when she realized where she was right now. She roamed her eyes at her surroundings. The place was very similar to her previous headquarters of Phantom Assassin Guild.

"Master… Here is our deal! And your last … and final mission." Bam-Bam looked at her intently.

Jane felt the need to listen to Bam-Bam so she stayed quiet, waiting for his explanation.

"You are now back to the night before Nathan and the Syphiruz Mafia attacked your assassin guild. In a few minutes, you will meet him again. Alive." Bam-Bam emphasized his last word.

Jane's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, anticipation evident in her eyes.

"Are you telling the truth? I will be able to see Nathan?! He is still alive… here?"

Bam-Bam smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, Master. This is your last chance to make things right for both of you. Within these twelve days, you have to make him fall in love with you again."

Jane was taken aback for a moment. "So in short. You should stop him later from killing your comrades and you must avoid taking your life. If you try to commit suicide again, I can no longer save you, Master."

Jane didn't know what to say. She had mixed emotions right now. But the overwhelming desire to see Nathan and Ethan once again gave her strong resolve to accomplish this last mission. All she cared about was being reunited with her loved ones. This time she promised herself that she would protect them both.

"What will happen if I succeed in my mission?" Jane asked him.

"A Miracle!" Bam-Bam promptly responded with a wide grin. "You can be with your loved ones again."

Those words were the ones she wanted to hear the most.

"What if I fail my mission in twelve days?"

"You will lose them again, Master," Bam-Bam replied with a serious expression on his face. "So… make the most of your time. Do your best, Master. This is my last gift for you."

"Why did you bring me in this timeline, Bam-Bam? Why didn't you choose the time before Vincent and Monica deceived both Nathan and me?" Jane asked him inquisitively.

Bam-Bam took a deep sigh. "Have you forgotten, Master? This was the time I intervened in your life. I can't bring you back to that earliest timeline except this."

Jane nodded as Bam-Bam's words made sense to her.

"Alright. I understand."

Bam-Bam looked at her for a long moment. After a while, he flew toward her and embraced Jane. The magical creature was very emotional right now as he knew what Jane had gone through in life.

"Master, don't worry. You will be able to see Ethan again. He is alive here and well. And he is just three years old at this moment. You haven't seen your son. And this time you have the chance to take care of him. So go now and claim your rightful spot as Nathan's lover and Ethan's mother!"

Jane felt so touched by Bam-Bam's words. She appreciated Bam-Bam's help. He was always there when she badly needed him the most.

"Thank you, Bam-Bam. I owe you a lot. I swear I will not waste this opportunity you've given to me. I will do the right thing. And this time… I'm gonna win this battle."

At that moment, Jane vowed that Monica would pay for what she had done. No matter what it took, no matter the cost, she would make sure that Monica would never walk away unscathed in this lifetime.

Unknown to Jane, Bam-Bam made a big sacrifice just to make this miracle. He was rooting for her, hoping that she would be able to succeed in her last mission. Her fate, Ethan's fate, and Nathan's fate were all in her hands now.

"Master, I have to go now. You have to prepare for your encounter with Nathan. He and his men were on their way now to attack and infiltrate your headquarters." Bam-Bam reminded her. She must not waste her time.

"I know what I must do now." Jane's eyes were filled with determination.

Without further ado, Jane made a move, summoning all the members of her assassin guild. Black Rose, also known as Cherry, was the first person she met as she commanded her to call everyone.

As Jane waited, her heart pounded with a mix of emotions. Soon, one by one, her comrades began to appear, emerging from the shadows like ghosts from her past. Familiar faces—people she had fought alongside, people she had bled with, and people she thought she would never see again.

Her chest tightened as she looked at them. It felt surreal, as though she had been thrust back in time. Memories of missions, of alliances formed in the heat of danger, flooded her mind. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

'They are all here… I thought I would never see them again. I blamed myself for their deaths. I caused them their demise… But now, I am reunited with them.'
