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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
I Don't Like That King Either [Bonus chapter]
"Please allow me to heal it, Your Majesty," Riley offered. He was afraid Alwin would scold him once he sees Arabella had reddened cheeks from slaps after he left for only a few minutes.
Ferdinand's wrath would be even more terrifying once he sees it. He was still in a meeting with the other kings, but he might be back soon.
'Was it that bad? I didn't even do it with force,' Arabella asked for a mirror and was surprised her cheeks were still red indeed.
'Oh, right. My skin is sensitive. How could I forget? This was why Ferdinand's kisses on my body leave marks.'
She keeps forgetting she was still in her young body. Her skin was supple and tender at this age.
Riley then healed her cheeks to remove the redness since it was taking too long to go away. Ferdinand or Alwin might return any minute.
Arabella then decided to focus on the work that had piled up on her table.
