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 a friend I know who had a sibling working in the Duke's castle informed me. I don't want to marry the Marquess anymore.
I can't possibly be with a blind man all my life.
There was a man I was secretly in love with and I chose to run away with him to another Dukedom.
We will get married there and live a happy life.
Goodbye. I'll send you a letter again once you have a grandchild on the way.
Your beloved,
Narcissa

'This bitch!' Althea tightly gripped the letter in fury. It crumpled in her hand.
Yes, Althea just called her sister a bitch, because Narcissa was quite fond of bitching.
And now she has done something so much worse. It was way over the top.
Even for Narcissa, this was too much idiocy.
'Did she not know that running away from her marriage with Marquess Claudius which had been agreed upon a long time ago, could lead to the whole family's death?'
