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.
All-Nighter
After a day of visiting the territories her assistants hailed from, Arabella focused on work the following day.
Raymond had sent a lot of work both to her and Ferdinand to accomplish as soon as possible. They were both in Safiro for a week, after all. Thus, a lot of paperwork was lagging behind.
Raymond had been swamped with it in his office the whole time they were in Safiro. So now that they were back, they had to help him so he could take a short break since it should have been their work in the first place.
As the Prime Minister and Ferdinand's butler, Raymond had no choice but to do all the work in their absence. He was very much competent but he also had a family to take care of. He hasn't gone home for a week since the issue in Safiro was revealed.
'His children must miss him a lot,' Arabella recalled the two little angels. It must be lonely not getting to see their father. Clarisse was very much understanding as well to have been allowing this for years.
