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.
Of course, not without ogling at her for a bit first.
Now, Ferdinand felt hot too. It was then that he realized the air in the room was barely moving unless they made movements.
He glanced at the windows and they were shut tight. No wonder Arabella felt it was too warm and sweated a lot under the thick covers.
Ferdinand was reminded that with Winter coming, Arabella must have felt cold so the windows were shut tight. But when he was with her in bed, the temperature rose, especially with the thick sheets.
'I guess she did not push me away because she was angry at me or anything,' Ferdinand sighed in relief. He opened a window to let fresh air in and help Arabella cool down.
Of course, he badly needed it too. He simply could never get used to seeing his wife naked.
He folded her used clothes neatly and was tempted to use them for something else since her scent and sweat were still on them.
