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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Don’t Get In My Way [Bonus chapter]
'That bastard! What was I worried about?!' Arabella wanted to throw her shoes in Ferdinand's direction.
She got stressed and worried for nothing. She glared at him and he flinched.
[Why does she suddenly look angry?! I have to make this quick. She seems pissed for some reason.]
'Make it quick indeed. What do you get from playing around?'
Even if Ferdinand was strong, what if he accidentally got hurt?
'Wait, why do I sound worried again? No, I'm just worried about who will do his work if he gets hurt. Raymond and I would be swamped with work.'
Yes, that was it. She was just worried about the workload and how the other territories would think of it as an opportunity to attack once they hear Ferdinand got injured.
She wasn't worried about him at all despite knowing he could just kill all those gigantic monsters all at once.
Yes, that must be it, right?
She kept trying to calm her raging heartbeat but her hands were still slightly trembling from seeing Ferdinand almost get hurt.
