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.
I Won’t Go Anywhere
If Ferdinand was being honest, he had been nervous every single day even after marrying Arabella.
He feared losing her to someone else. He got jealous and envious of the people she spent time with.
If it was up to him, he wanted her all for himself to adore. He would not allow her to mingle with other people and have her holed up here in his palace in Estrella. He would not even let anyone else lay their eyes on her nor get a single whiff of her scent.
But he felt that doing so would not make her happy. Thus, he had to live the way everyone does and observe what makes her happy.
Earlier, he was so relieved that marking her as his mate was finally completed. He felt so much bliss and pleasure from finally consummating with her that he ended up falling asleep so soundly for about two hours.
He didn't hear a single sound even though he should have heard the twittering of birds or the moving about of other people in the palace.
