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.
May I Kiss You? [Bonus chapter]
[I can't possibly tell her it was because I don't know what to write in my reply. I have never written a letter to a lover before.]
'Eh? So does he really not have any experience with romance? Or he just didn't experience exchanging letters?'
"I see. I'm relieved I didn't disturb you because of my selfish request."
"Not at all. You can ask me anything you want whenever you want. You will never be a disturbance to me."
Who would have thought she would hear these words from Ferdinand's lips?
"Thank you."
Ferdinand held her hand and she flinched. She's still not used to their contact. Ferdinand noticed and let go.
[She's still so surprised with the least bit of touch. I wonder, when will she feel comfortable around me? I want to hold and cherish her soon. I want her in my arms, kiss her, and love her all day and all night. I want to be with her all the time.]
Ferdinand's thought's suddenly strayed. She did her best not to blush from his wild imagination.
