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.
"How were they able to send here?" Ferdinand frowned.
"She was not staying in Crux. She was in her fiance's kingdom. She was able to send a letter using his connections," Arabella then explained how the letter came to be why it attracted her attention immediately.
"And you decided to meet her without telling me?" Ferdinand asked, still brooding that it was kept a secret from him.
"Yes, hehe," Arabella tried to act cutely so his mood would not be ruined again.
[She's doing this intentionally so I won't scold her again. But I'm not planning to after she cried earlier. What if I make her cry again? I don't want to see her hurting like that again. And I'm not angry anymore, but I'm still somewhat annoyed that she hid it from me.]
"Where is Alwin? How could he not inform me about this first?" Ferdinand heaved another sigh.
