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.
You Don’t Have to Thank Me
Arabella was giving her husband his well-deserved hug when…
"Ahem."
Arabella and Ferdinand were both startled when they heard someone clear his throat. They remained in each other's arms though. Rather, it only made them hold onto each other tighter.
"It seems, this old man is not needed here. I shall take my leave then."
"F-father?!" Arabella was wide-eyed when she heard her father's voice. She instantly distanced herself from her husband as if they were caught in the act of doing lewd things.
'Why didn't he tell me Father is here?!' she glanced at her husband, and he was as startled as she was.
"My deepest apologies. I cherish your daughter so much that I was too elated to be welcomed by her like this," Ferdinand bowed. He tried to maintain a dignified look despite apologizing but his face was red with embarrassment since he completely forgot that her father was with him.
