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.
'If she went to Zygos all alone when she's this easy to tempt, how will she survive?' Arabella was rather relieved that this was Darcus and Orpheus, people that Evania's family trusted.
If it were someone else, she would have to remind Renee not to be too trusting of every pretty face she sees.
"It's alright, my lady. It's still early morning," Darcus tempted.
"Or do you have to go to work now?" Orpheus inquired.
Arabella already told them though that she had given Renee today as a day off because she had passed out yesterday.
"No, I was given a day off," Renee said, finally accepting their offer.
[Now that I thought about it, Her Majesty must have sent that letter telling me to rest because I passed out.] Renee just realized this because Darcus and Orpheus occupied her mind.
