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.
Moreover, Arabella was rather delighted that Ferdinand also liked her favorite Lobelian dishes.
Her younger siblings kept getting stiff every time she said Ferdinand's name and kept getting astounded that Ferdinand was fine with it and was acting like any normal human being.
Because of all the rumors about Ferdinand, they had such a negative image of him too, and thought he might blow up any second and scold Arabella or the people around them. They even feared he might kill someone if he got irked as the rumors said.
Thus, they were so surprised that Ferdinand had been accommodating and gentle to Arabella the whole time. He did not give them glares or any kind of intimidation or insult either.
Benjamin already told their three younger siblings that Arabella was fine since Ferdinand was better than they expected and was treating Arabella very well.
