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.
Weigh the Consequences [Bonus chapter]
After listening to Renee's story, Arabella asked the former what she planned to do. And Renee said she would resign as Arabella's maid.
It was so she could move freely, and Arabella won't be implicated in her future actions. Renee was thought full enough to think about that.
But Renee was furious and hurt that she wanted to kill Chester and Fatima. She said she would poison them or do whatever it takes in any way she could just to ensure they get a taste of suffering too and end up dying painfully just like the way she did as Evelyn.
Renee's hatred for Chester was rekindled after seeing him again. Rather, it was only buried deep inside her heart. The embers were fully alive all this time and were just waiting to be set ablaze.
Fatima was a different case though. Renee died thinking Fatima was her friend. Thus, after calming down a bit, Renee thought she would try to verify first if Fatima was truly in cahoots with Chester.
