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 Will Choose You Over and Over Again
"I'm so happy to hear you say all these.
I feel so warm inside right now," Ferdinand wrapped her in his arms.
[She does love me now.]
A smile arched his lips and brightened his eyes.
"Of course.
Didn't I say, you are mine?
I wouldn't say that if I didn't feel anything," Arabella reiterated.
It was kind of embarrassing to keep saying it aloud.
But with Ferdinand who's likely to misunderstand things from all the overthinking he does, it was better to tell him again and again.
"Yes. I'm all yours," he kissed her forehead.
"So, don't stress yourself too much, okay?
I know you'd rather keep your guard up.
But King Icarus never even confessed to me.
I think he is also respecting my marriage with you.
And even if he does convey his feelings for me, I want you to know now that I will refuse him.
As I have said before, I already chose you."
Arabella wanted to reiterate this too.
That no matter what, she had already chosen Ferdinand over anyone else.
