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.
Let's Live Here Together
[I never want to see her like that again. Her hands, her face, her whole body. Everything was cold. She was not breathing. Her heart was not beating. It was as if she had already died. I felt such an immense sense of loss I have never experienced before. My chest ached so much but I didn't know what to do. This is the first time I've felt such fear and fury inside me. I don't want to lose her no matter what. I don't want to feel that despair, that helplessness again. I thought I was going to go crazy. If she didn't wake up, I might have lost myself and gone berserk. I'll do everything in my power so she won't be in such a situation again.]
It had been a few minutes since Alwin left and Ferdinand had just been holding her in his arms. He hasn't said a single word and just hugged her, feeling her warmth and listening to her heartbeat.
His embrace was a bit too tight it hurt but Arabella did her best to bare with it.
