My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

“She’s Mr. Bradley’s wife, whom he personally sent into prison for five years?” “Mr. Thomas was so nice to her, yet she removed
his oxygen mask back then. What a venomous woman she is...” “I wonder if Mr. Thomas regretted giving 1/3 of his shares to her
in his last moment!?” “What do you expect from a homewrecker’s daughter? The Warners helped her, and she bit the hand that
fed her. I really don’t know how she has the cheek to attend Mr. Thomas’ funeral!” It was cold in spring, but Esther Quill, who had
just come out of prison, appeared at the funeral of Thomas Warner, the Warners’ patriarch, in just a sleeveless dress. Bouquets
of flowers were thrown at the thin and frail woman. Even then, she walked toward the coffin in determination. ‘Grandpa Thomas,

Before Esther could go to Thomas’ coffin, Bradley Warner’s flawless face appeared before her. “Bradley,” she could not help but

rubbed red by the uneven surface. Bradley opened the car door and violently threw her to the back of the limited-edition Rolls-
Royce Phantom. Like a bloodthirsty wolf, he pounced at her with burning killing intent. “Esther Quill...”
He choked her neck with one hand and tore her dress off with the other. “Bradley Warner, this is Grandpa Thomas’ funeral. What
are you doing?” Esther had never seen Bradley like this. She was both afraid and anxious as she struggled to get up. Bradley
suddenly swooped down and bit her shoulder blade upon seeing how much she struggled. The coppery scent of blood filled his
mouth, and he felt nauseated. He let a cold sneer, his eyes impassive and mocking. “Esther Quill, you wanted a child with me,
right? I’ll give it to you!” Bradley pulled and yanked her dress...
