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.
A month just passed by without getting a chance to see her husband's face the entire time. She was truly thought of as an unwanted wife now. She could hear some of the maids whispering about it.
Althea was wide-eyed when she heard something outrageous.
"Poor Madam, Marquess Claudius already went to his mansion without taking her with him. It's already blowing up in the city that she was indeed unwanted," one of the maids said.
"After all, no matter how pretty the madam is, our lord can no longer see so he wouldn't what she looks like. How would he like her without even seeing her face once," a second added.
"Right? I heard they first met at their wedding so they have never seen each other," a third joined in.
'He left me here in the castle?' Althea frowned. 'That bastard?! How could he live his wife behind? What would they think of my family now?!'
