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.
Wrong Offer
"N-no. But I… How can I be a good son-in-law?" Ferdinand asked out of the blue. He didn't want to lose out to Icarus on anything, so he was being competitive yet again.
He was grateful that Arabella was assuring him she would be on his side no matter what, but he still wanted to take action before things were too late.
He couldn't help but compare himself to Icarus since he feared the latter would slowly steal his spot as Arabella's husband if he let things be.
If he cannot win over Benjamin, he could only hope to get their parents to remain on his side.
Arabella stopped herself from giggling. That wasn't the answer she was expecting. Her husband truly worries a lot. But she understood since she would probably think about these things too if she had in-laws.
