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 Love the Sound of Your Heartbeat
"I don't just go around slapping and stabbing someone.
I'm really not violent.
This was a first due to the circumstances," Arabella peeked at Ferdinand's face to see his expression and he chuckled lightly.
"I know.
You don't have to worry.
You have always been gentle and kind.
And you're still so adorable no matter what you do.
But be careful not to hurt yourself.
Are your hands alright?" Ferdinand asked and Arabella blinked repeatedly.
"You're not angry? I slapped Alwin really hard."
"That's his fault for scaring you like that," he checked her hands and was relieved they were alright.
Arabella was speechless and just stared at her husband for a few seconds.
Love does work wonders.
Just earlier, Ferdinand was thinking about killing who stabbed Alwin.
But when he learned it was her, he was worried about her instead.
And now, he didn't mind her slapping Alwin real hard.
It was true though that Alwin provoked her first.
[She keeps on surprising me.
