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.
He's Quite Cute and Charming [Bonus chapter]
"I see. So he truly does fancy you. I'm glad to hear he cherishes you," Andrew smiled without an ounce of jealousy or bitterness.
Ferdinand and Alwin were both taken aback. They both thought Andrew was still interested in Arabella but his words and actions said otherwise.
"Do you like him?" Andrew asked next and Ferdinand and Alwin both concluded that he was asking this because of ulterior motives. They concluded that if Arabella said no, Andrew would take his chance to tempt her.
"Yes, he's quite cute and charming," Arabella said and Ferdinand and Alwin choked on their own spit. They didn't understand how Ferdinand could be those two.
Ferdinand was overwhelmed with happiness though that Arabella said she likes him even if it was to Andrew himself who asked, nonetheless.
"I see. Haha. I figured you might be since all your words about him are good. But to think you would call that buff and scary-looking man to be 'cute and charming' is quite shocking," Andrew chuckled.
