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.
Mysterious Helper
The rain continued to pour in torrents as the maids rushed to close all the windows in Arabella's study at the mansion.
Once all the windows are safely shut tight, the maids did their supposed task.
When they were done, Arabella made all of them leave except for Renee.
"Renee, you look tense. Did something happen," Arabella maintained her mask of a smile despite her worries.
She was aching to ask a ton of questions and scold Renee but did her best to remain calm.
She hoped Alwin was able to prevent Renee's attempt to poison Queen Fatima.
"I… Uhm, Your Majesty, I would like to quit as your maid from today onwards," Renee informed now that she had the chance to speak. She didn't delay any longer since she needed to escape in case someone finds out it was her who poisoned Fatima.
"It seems you have decided to continue with your revenge.
Why did you decide to push through with it?
Did something happen while you were trying to verify if they were working together?"
