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 teleported them to the dining hall where food was already prepared.
Arabella had asked Alfredo to prepare a hearty meal before she went and asked Ferdinand to eat. Due to the situation, she didn't want him to waste time waiting when he was so busy and worried that he didn't even go and see her.
"You've lost some weight," Ferdinand frowned and gently caressed her cheeks.
[How could she lose this much weight in the span of hours?]
'Hours? What does he mean?'
"I did? I didn't notice," Arabella checked her hands, and she could not notice any difference. It was true though that she hasn't had the appetite. She was worried about Alwin, and she was no longer used to eating alone for three meals a day. She had gotten used to eating with Ferdinand at least once a day.
[I must have made her feel lonely, leaving her like that without explaining what was happening.]
"How long has it been since I began searching for Alwin?" Ferdinand inquired.
