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.
Since Alwin was gone and she could no longer ask questions in the interim, Arabella processed everything she learned so far.
First and foremost, Renee was once Queen Evelyn of Zygos and had been married to King Chester who was an abusive and cheating husband. Chester strangled Evelyn to death thinking he cheated on her and covered it up as a fire accident. But all of it may have been planned from the start and Chester and Fatima could have been the masterminds.
Chester had also kept comparing Evelyn to other prettier women which could have triggered Renee's unhealthy obsession with beauty. Chester had also kept blaming Evelyn for being unable to marry his true love which could have been Arabella's mother.
Arabella realized this could be among the reasons why Renee decided to fool her in the past life and occupy her body.
However, Evelyn was not truly Evelyn and Renee was not the original Renee either. Their bodies were simply occupied by Evania's soul after they passed away.
