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.
'Why do I find him so cute even at times like this?
Look at him.
His face and ears are all red.'
Arabella thought her husband would feel like she fooled him. Or toyed with him. Yet, here he was being all shy and embarrassed instead.
It appears he wasn't the only overthinker.
She was too.
[Seems like they need some time to talk.
His Majesty must be shocked to only learn about this now.
I've been wanting to tell him but there were too many things I wasn't sure of.]
{Let's talk about this more later.} Alwin told Arabella and she nodded.
Her husband looked like he needed some time to process this.
They indeed needed to speak alone.
"I'll be taking my leave then," Alwin excused himself and was about to walk out of the room, but Ferdinand grabbed his wrist.
"Where do you think you're going?
You think you can just leave after pointing a knife at my wife and threatening to kill her?"
[What if she's traumatized by all this?
No wonder she stabbed him with the hairpin.
