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.
"Right. Then, go on," Arabella agreed since she knew there was no end to this if she kept telling him she could do it herself.
His eyes told her so.
"I'll wash your hair first. Please sit down so you won't get tired," Ferdinand said with bright eyes at getting her approval to do this.
Arabella obediently seated herself and obediently observed her husband, waiting for him to make a mistake so she could tell him she could wash herself on her own.
However, he picked up the right one for her hair. He got an ample amount on his palms and lathered it up before applying it on her hair.
[I have to be careful so it doesn't go into her eyes.] Ferdinand thought as he silently focused on shampooing her hair.
While he was busy, Arabella picked up the soap for her body so could apply it herself. But Ferdinand noticed and caught her hand.
"I'll apply that as well, my lady. I'm trying to do my best so please be a little patient," Ferdinand teased.
