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.
Ferdinand's thoughts suddenly drifted off somewhere else.
"Hey! Ferdinand! What the hell are you thinking about? Snap out of it!" Arabella chided with a blush on her face when she saw some of the drawings from the illustrated books he read when she gazed into his eyes.
'Why was he reading books like that?! Is he into that kind of thing?' She gulped nervously.
In the books he read, there was a couple in an intimate scene. However, the lady was wearing a collar on her neck and her wrists and ankles had shackles. They seemed to be made of leather. And the couple seemed to be enjoying it despite that.
'Is Ferdinand into using those things in bed?!' Arabella gulped nervously. 'What should I do if he wants to use those on me?'
Arabella had seen a scenario like this in person in her past life since she used her body to get allies when there was nothing else she could offer.
