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.
End of the Assembly
After all the days fully packed with meetings and socialization, the last day of the yearly Assembly finally arrived.
A party was scheduled for today as a celebration of the success of the Assembly and all the ties they formed in this gathering.
And of course, Arabella and Ferdinand had to attend.
"You are stunning," Ferdinand kissed the back of Arabella's hand when he came to escort her.
She couldn't help but smile and blush at the look on his face.
When the maids finally allowed him into her room, Ferdinand was wide-eyed and speechless for several seconds before he collected himself and complimented her.
It seems all her maids' hard work paid off.
They did more than a good job in dressing her up and doing her makeup and hair.
Arabella's maids had dolled her up more than usual, so Ferdinand waited for her for a while.
Thankfully, her husband had learned to be patient.
And he didn't really mind waiting for her since he always gets surprised every time.
