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.
Tempter and Savior
"You are not allowed to die again," Little Arabella heard a voice say as she felt someone carry her.
She was finally able to breathe again. She clung to whoever it was as she coughed up the water she had swallowed.
Little Arabella opened her eyes and it was hazy but she recognized that this person was different from the man earlier. It was another man.
"Ella . . . Where are you? Ella?"
She heard her brother's voice.
Shortly after, there were more people yelling her name, searching for her. They must have heard her scream.
The man who pulled her out of the water stopped moving and she panicked when she felt he was settling her down.
"No!!"
She gripped at his clothes but she was too weak to hold on. And her eyes were becoming even more blurry as her consciousness was fading yet again.
"It's alright now," he assured her and somehow, Little Arabella felt a surge of comfort and let go of his clothes.
The man soon vanished into the darkness as if he was never there.
