Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 140

Nanette was already halfway sober, the alcohol haze lifting as she glanced anxiously at Isadora, whose face had gone a shade paler.

She’d played this game enough times to know the score.

Her original plan was to give these scummy guys and two-faced girls a taste of their own medicine. She hadn’t expected Isadora, the one with zero game skills, to lose first.

Nanette shot a look at the man sprawled on the opposite couch. Magnus was smirking, a glint of smug satisfaction tugging at his lips.

Damn it, was she just handing Isadora over to Magnus on a silver platter?

Was Isadora about to fall right back into the arms of that jerk because of a single kiss?

Nanette’s mind was spinning.

“I’ll take Isadora’s punishment instead,” she blurted out.

After all, men were all the same—kissing one with your eyes closed was just acting.

Elise’s hands clenched nervously together the moment Isadora asked for someone to do the kissing punishment in her place.

She’d come tonight for one reason: to keep Magnus and Isadora as far apart as possible.

But Isadora really was cunning.

Losing on purpose? Using a silly game just to get close to Magnus?

Just as Elise’s anxiety was reaching its peak, she heard Nanette chime in.

Putting aside personal grudges, Elise jumped at the chance. “Well, if Nanette’s volunteering, it’s all about having fun, right? Why not let someone else do the punishment?”

Scales, ever the shameless flirt, grinned wickedly and shoved the leggy beauty beside him aside. “Fine by me! Guess I’ll have to take one for the team and kiss you myself.”

Nanette shot him a look of pure disdain.

Of all the people in the room, he’d be her last choice.

At that moment, Magnus spoke up, his voice low and laced with mockery. “Is this how you all play games—no rules, just chaos?”

Everyone fell silent.

What, were they supposed to treat a party game like a boardroom negotiation?

Sammy raised an eyebrow at Magnus. His intentions were painfully obvious—he wanted Isadora to kiss him.
