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.
But Arabella heard it from his thoughts.
[What if you suddenly realize that you cannot be with me?
That they are more precious to you no matter what?
What if after seeing them again, you change your mind and no longer go to Estrella with me?
What if you realize you wanted to stay there for the rest of your life instead of here or Estrella?]
Ferdinand had his fears that Arabella might change her mind on the decisions she had already made.
Arabella looked at him in deep in the eyes and said, "Ferdinand, I love you."
Ferdinand gulped at her words and a blush colored his face. His face turned red and she felt his heartbeat drum in his chest loudly especially since he could not avert his gaze from her this time with how she looked at him.
"You believe me, right?" Arabella inquired and Ferdinand nodded.
"Then, please trust me. And believe in me. Believe in my feelings for you, Ferdinand," Arabella asked.
