My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

because of the blow, which looked frightening. Liliane put a hand over her swollen cheek and explained

weakly, “Brad, her kids died in prison. She must miss them too much while she’s sick. I can understand

it.” Esther retorted harshly, “My kids aren’t dead! They’re still alive. You can’t curse them!” “Enough!”

Bradley glanced at Esther, his gaze filled with resentment and hatred. Esther felt like a thousand

arrows pierced through her heart then. Her beloved now looked at her like she was poison. Although

she had decided to stop loving him, her heart still ached so badly that she could barely breathe.

“Esther, you’ll get to see them after the surgery.” Bradley fixed his cold gaze on the weak Esther and

warned her with cruelty. “But if you dare play tricks before that, I’ll ensure you never see them.” From

the corner of her eye, Esther saw Liliane look at her with a sympathetic and sad gaze. A scary and

absurd thought bubbled within her. Why did she believe what Bradley said so much? What if Bradley

and Liliane lied to her so that she would willingly donate her bone marrow to Felix? What if her kids

being alive was just a huge lie? The moment Bradley turned around, Esther grabbed a glass from the

table and crashed it into the wall, shattering it. Bradley looked back in extreme impatience and

annoyance. Esther picked up a shard from the floor and grabbed Liliane by her hair. The latter was

shocked as Esther held the shard against her neck. “Brad!” Liliane was taken aback. Bradley’s cold

gaze brimmed with abhorrence. Esther’s beautiful eyes welled up with tears while the reddened

corners of her eyes spoke of a sense of fragility. Her hand holding the glass shard could not stop

shaking. “Bradley, I don’t trust you. I don’t believe that my kids are still alive unless…” A tear slid down

Esther’s eye. “Unless you prove it to me.” “Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?”

Bradley mocked. Esther pressed the shard harder against Liliane’s skin, and the sharpness that

pierced the latter made her frown. “I’ll kill Liliane right now if you don’t prove it.” Liliane trembled in fear.

She knew that Esther would totally do what she said now that she was forced into a corner. There was

a strong killing intent in Bradley’s eyes. He questioned icily, “You’re still this vile after five years in

prison…” Esther snorted, looked at Bradley in mockery, and retorted hoarsely, “You’re the one who has

no right to negotiate with me, Bradley. You have two choices. Either you prove that my kids are still

alive, or I’ll die with Liliane!” Despite Esther’s thin arms, she was somehow so strong that she locked

Liliane in her hands and took her to the balcony. “Bradley, the countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight,

seven…” Bradley had never imagined the bright and dazzling Esther to turn into the complete lunatic

she currently was. “Let go now, and I’ll forget it. Otherwise…” The night breeze blew on Esther’s hair,

and her gaze was resolute and ruthless. “Brad, save Felix,” Liliane pleaded tearfully. Bradley was

furious as he said to Cole. “Cole, give me the b*stards’ photo.” Cole quickly handed him a photo. The

thin photo was clamped between Bradley’s long fingers as he said coldly, “They’ll be buried with Felix if

anything happens to him.” Esther’s gaze landed on the twin girls in the photo. She scrutinized them,

realizing that their eyes looked so much like hers. She finally believed that her children were still alive—

her children with Bradley were still alive. Bradley looked coldly at the delighted Esther and said sternly,

“Sign these two contracts if you want the photo.” “I’ll sign them!” Esther shoved Liliane away without

hesitation. Cole passed the divorce paper and agreement to give up on the shares to Esther

courteously, but she did not even browse the content. She took the pen and signed her name where

she should. “Can you give me the photo now?” Bradley spoke aloofly. “I can, but I want you to swear.”

“I swear,” Esther hurried to say after seeing the photo. “If you break our deal, you’ll never see your

kids.” Esther put up three fingers by her temple and swore. “If I, Esther Quill, don’t give Felix my bone

marrow, I’ll never meet my kids again.” Bradley threw the photo onto the floor and took Liliane out of

the room. “Keep an eye on her 24/7!” “Yes, Mr. Warner,” the bodyguards answered in unison. Esther

quickly caught and held the photo in her hands. There was a pair of twin girls with short hair in the

photo who wore the same new floral dress. They smiled sweetly for the camera. Esther was engrossed

looking at it. She carefully studied their faces. The girls were like her, so fair and dark-haired with sweet

dimples when they smiled. “Babies, it’s Mommy. “Babies, we’ll meet very soon.” Esther held the photo

and kissed the children on it. Her tears fell as her heart clenched. “Babies, my babies.” There was no

telling how long she had cried before falling asleep. Even then, she gripped the only photo she had

tightly. While Esther was deep asleep, the door to her room was opened. A cute head popped in

cautiously…
