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.
For a Life of Luxury [Bonus chapter]
Arabella didn't find any reason to spare Adolfo either. The latter was not even truly apologetic about what he did.
In his mind, Adolfo thought that Arabella should have at least died so that he wouldn't be the only one dying.
Adolfo even thought of making Jacob do a destructive burst of mana to try taking Arabella and Ferdinand and as many people as possible with them if they get executed.
Letting this kind of person live would only cause harm to them or other innocent people. Thus, it was better for him to be executed as soon as possible.
Jacob was the same. The only thing he regretted was not spending all the profits he gained from being Adolfo's mage. He also wanted to take Arabella and Ferdinand with them if they were going to die anyway. He hated how his stable and huge income was suddenly cut off because of one person. And that person was Arabella.
However, unlike Adolfo, Jacob had heavier reasons why he was obsessed with profits.
