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.
Your Heart Stopped Beating
Arabella blinked repeatedly as her husband explained with a dark expression and balled fists that she was poisoned.
It was in the wine. Alwin had checked everything and it was the wine that had poison in it.
'I just took a small sip,' Arabella paled as she realized it must have been so potent for the effect to have been instant. She lost consciousness due to the poison just a few seconds after taking a sip.
It meant the goal was to kill her.
'But why would someone poison me now? What would they gain from killing me right when Ferdinand was about to announce his decision regarding the invitation to join the Council?'
Arabella wondered if it was Lucille's doing. The aphrodisiac drug was also added to Andrew's wine. But would Lucille do the same thing twice?
Even if Lucille was assured she was not deemed as the culprit in her previous plot, it was easy to tell that the same person was responsible if she tampered with the wine again.
