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.
How Many Children Do You Want? [Bonus chapter]
Arabella helped Dimo cut the stake on his plate since his hands were trembling from eating too little this morning and the previous day.
"T-thank you, Your Majesty. I-I can do it myself," Dimo said in a shaky voice and Arabella realized why when she glanced at her husband. He was oozing with a scary aura while looking at Dimo.
"My dear, you shouldn't scare children like that," Arabella chastised.
"I wasn't trying to scare him. This is how I usually am," Ferdinand denied. "And you don't have to take care of him yourself. Let the servants do it."
'Oh, so that was it.'
"It's alright. I will do it myself. Don't you think I should begin practicing for the future?" Arabella teased.
"For the future?" Ferdinand repeated and his ears turned red when he realized she meant for when they have children too.
He couldn't complain anymore and ate silently instead even as she pampered Dimo. She served Dimo's meals herself and her husband didn't say another word.
