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.
I Realized How Selfish I Had Been
Who would have thought hearing those words directly from his lips felt so nice?
She knew from the revelation in her dream that he loved her. And in this life, she first learned from Alwin and Raymond, that Ferdinand loved and cherished her.
Ferdinand and his thoughts and actions soon confirmed it. He did admit he liked her very much too. But didn't directly say he loved her.
There was a difference between just liking someone compared to loving someone.
Arabella would have been fine with any of the two. But Ferdinand felt both of the two for her.
And he said it to her so directly today.
That he loved her.
Arabella felt heat rise to her face as his words repeated themselves over and over again inside her head.
It was embarrassing but Arabella did feel so delighted at hearing Ferdinand say those words to her.
She wanted to be able to respond to his feelings. But she wasn't sure what she was feeling yet.
