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.
"Thank you," Arabella smiled as Eunice and Aletha wrapped her up nicely in the warm coat.
She had dinner alone again. It made her miss Ferdinand even more. Eating with him helps her appetite since he eats a lot.
After dinner, Arabella returned to her study and continued working, waiting for Alwin to alert her when the time had come to implement their plan.
Two hours later…
"Your Majesty, it's time," Alwin came to remind her.
Arabella glanced outside the window. The moon had beautifully risen and made the surroundings bright.
"Perfect."
She rang her bell for her maids to come.
Alwin made himself invisible.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunice who had been on standby outside immediately responded.
