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.
"Geez. Ferdinand, this body is not just yours anymore.
It's also mine.
So, take more care of it," Arabella lightly scolded.
". . ."
Her husband was speechless.
'Doesn't he like how I worded it?'
"What did you say?
I didn't hear properly," Ferdinand cupped her face.
"I said this body is -"
She was about to repeat her words but realized there was no way Ferdinand did not hear them.
He had sharp senses. And they were so close to each other.
Their faces were just a few inches away from each other.
He simply wanted her to say it again.
[She said my body is hers…]
Ferdinand stared at her with wonder, stopping a smile from crossing his lips.
Arabella got embarrassed to say it again since he obviously looked forward to it.
His eyes were bright as he expectantly gazed at her, waiting for her to repeat her words.
She wanted to avoid his gaze but couldn't.
"No. You heard it loud and clear," Arabella pouted.
