Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress
Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul. The naïve Arabella evolved. *** “Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally… he fell to ruin! With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Another Plot
Internally, the Duke did not want to believe it at first. He wanted to deny it. So, he thought that maybe, Dimo could have misheard.
But the evidence Alwin gathered proved it. There was a record of the Head Butler and Sonia talking about it.
Arabella could vividly recall that he was ashen as he listened, and he looked like he would burst into tears.
The Duke loved Brent and Monica as his own. And he was even willing to continue raising them if only Dimo hadn't heard everything from Sonia and the Head Butler.
Duke Olivier loved Sonia too which was why he was utterly disappointed, hurt, and furious that the latter had only been fooling him from the start.
It was probably one of the reasons why he could not execute Sonia. He still had lingering feelings for her but no longer wanted to be with her after what she had done.
