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.
"Your Majesty, I'm telling the truth.
If I undo the spell I cast earlier, Rendell will begin hearing the sound from here and he would also pick up the scent of my blood.
He would know it's truly me.
You can read and hear our thoughts so you would know the truth," he said, and Arabella froze.
". . ."
She was silent for a few seconds.
If this was indeed Alwin, then he already knew everything she was trying to hide.
What should she do if he was in indeed Alwin?!
"Stop this nonsense," Arabella glared at him.
She almost believed him.
She was trying to buy time for the real Alwin or Riley to come.
'But why is everyone taking so long?'
What if she was already dead by the time someone came to save her?
"My apologies for my behavior earlier.
I had to go this far just to confirm my suspicions, Your Majesty.
I had been suspecting you since the day you ask for a divorce with His Majesty.
Your former self would have never done it.
