My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 688
Bradley got into the car and took out his phone to check on Esther's condition. As soon as he did that, he noticed a suspicious figure on the basement surveillance footage."What are you doing?" Sally Napier, a maid, grabbed the man and sternly reprimanded him, "Get out of here quickly. There are security cameras here, and Mr. Warner will see it!"The man, Mike Salter, pushed Sally away and cursed, "Shut your trap!"He had heard rumors about a wealthy heir who had imprisoned a young and beautiful woman in the basement. He was curious about what kind of woman would be kept captive by such a wealthy person."Don't mess around!" Sally rushed forward and held onto Mike's thigh, pleading desperately, "This job pays so well. If you mess it up..." Mike kicked her aside and sneered. "I've been tired of an old hag like you for years. You're just getting in my way!"The more Sally stopped him, the more excited he became. Mike approached the crystal coffin reeking of alcohol. He peered thr

"M-Mr. Warner, I was wrong!"Mike, who had started as very arrogant, now trembled in fear without any hint of intoxication. Bradley coldly pulled the trigger, and Mike turned pale, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Another gunshot rang out, hitting Mike's other leg. "Mr. Warner..." Sally was terrified and pale as she rushed over, humbly begging. Bradley pointed the rifle at Sally's forehead and spoke coldly. "Leave." Sally tremblingly closed her eyes, expecting a bullet, but it struck Mike's arm instead. Bradley's eyes were ruthlessly.Mike was in agonizing pain, nearly passing out. Bradley watched his struggles and aimed the rifle at his other arm, firing it four times. Mike eventually lost consciousness. "Clean the floor properly," Bradley ordered. Sally nodded frantically. "Yes, sir." With the rifle in hand, Bradley stepped on the bloody floor and slowly approached the crystal coffin. He pressed a button on the remote, and its lid rose. "Esther."Esther t

"I really was wrong! I'll never do it again!" Mike pleaded.Bradley cruelly smirked as he pulled Esther into his arms, his warm breath brushing against her ear. "I'll teach you a game."Esther was too nervous to move and remained still.Bradley spoke slowly. "Come, hold this."Esther's shock from the four brutal shots Bradley had fired in the basement lingered. She followed Bradley's instructions, gripping the hunting rifle."Yes, just like that."The rifle felt heavy in Esther's hands.Bradley reached over considerately, assisting her in holding it. Patiently, he guided her through the operation step by step."If I hadn't arrived in time earlier, you might have suffered at the hands of this repulsive man."Esther's heart ached in agreement.Bradley was right—without his timely intervention, she might have faced a terrible fate."What... What do you want from me?" she asked.Bradley's tone turned cold. "Aim for his forehead and gently squeeze the trigger."Ethical concerns

Esther held the rifle, feeling its weight in her hands, causing her to tremble. She hadn't had much time to think before she aimed it at Bradley's forehead. She wanted to escape, to distance herself, and never let herself be soft-hearted toward Bradley again.Bradley raised an eyebrow, his cold eyes locked onto Esther as he provocatively commented, "Esther, your stance with the gun looks quite impressive."Under the scorching sun, Esther exuded a wild beauty. She appeared like a fierce lioness, baring its teeth, shaking its golden fur, radiating an intense allure that strangely stirred others' desires to conquer her."Bradley, please, just let me go!" Esther pleaded, her fingers trembling on the trigger.Bradley seized the rifle's front end and pressed the barrel against his forehead. "I won't let you go unless I die right here."Esther hadn't expected Bradley to be so fearless, as if he was certain she wouldn't dare pull the trigger. "Bradley, don't push me!"Beneath the sun, Br

Bradley said indifferently, "Place it down."Sally obediently set the box on the table.Bradley glanced at Esther, smiled wickedly, and beckoned, "Esther, come here and open your gift."Esther clutched the rifle and wondered why he had a gift for her.As Bradley began counting, "One, two..."Before he could reach three, Esther approached and casually discarded the rifle.The pink box was beautifully wrapped, but an unexplainable urge to flee washed over her as she gazed at it."Open it," Bradley coldly instructed.Esther shivered inexplicably but proceeded to unwrap the gift. The pink bow, perhaps due to it being a gift, was elegantly tied and easy to undo.A gentle tug on one corner of the pink satin bow, and it came apart effortlessly.Inside, she found a severed hand, covered in blood.Upon seeing the gruesome sight, Esther's legs gave way, and she collapsed. It felt as though her eyes were deceiving her. She glanced at the hand, nearly the size of Sunshine's, and tears w

Esther's eyes widened with terror, and she struggled desperately as Bradley gripped her jaw firmly. He was domineering and insane, commanding her, "Swallow it!"The taste of buttercream filled Esther's mouth, but instead of sweetness, she tasted nothing but the metallic tang of blood.Bradley began smearing the blood-looking cream all over her face.He warned, "Esther, remember this. I'm only merciful once. If there's a next time, you'll watch as her hand is cut off and delivered to you."Nausea churned in Esther's stomach. She didn't care that Bradley was still there and knelt down to vomit nearby.Now she understood that the severed hand from earlier wasn't real—it was a creation by a cake artist. Despite its artificial nature, the fear it had instilled made her scalp tingle, and she felt the pain as if she were truly being tortured.Bradley paid no attention to Esther's agony. He turned to Sally and declared, "You're fired.""Mr. Warner, I'm sorry..."Sally dreaded losing su

Bradley's intense gaze fixed on Esther as he asked in a deep voice, "What did you call me just now?"Esther felt a sudden surge of nervousness upon hearing his question. "M-Mr. Warner?"Was that wrong? Should she have addressed him as "Master"? Or maybe, given his age, she should have simply called him "Sir"?"Figure it out for yourself," Bradley replied coldly, taking a seat at the dining table.Esther had prepared a beautifully presented and mouthwatering dinner.While in prison, Esther had attended various courses to improve her post-release employment prospects. As a woman, she had taken classes in beauty and hairstyling, dessert baking, culinary cuisine, embroidery, and clothing making. Her instructors were experts in their fields.Maintaining focus and inner peace was relatively easy, with nothing else to do in prison. Esther had even witnessed an inmate become an embroidery master's apprentice after completing the prison course.Bradley pushed his cutlery toward Esther an

Everyone had choices, but Esther had none. She had to trust Bradley's promise. At least seeing Felix would ease her longing for her child."Thank you, sir," Esther said, taking a deep breath to calm her restlessness. "If you don't need anything else, may I clear the dishes?"Bradley didn't respond, simply rising and heading upstairs.With her head down, Esther respectfully watched Bradley leave before tackling the dining room and kitchen. She worried he might check for cleanliness, so she wore kitchen gloves and meticulously cleaned, even disassembling the range hood.She finally caught her breath once she finished in the kitchen and dining room. However, the living room phone rang.Esther hesitated but answered. "Hello?""Can you transfer the call to Mr. Warner?""Of course, please hold."Esther recognized Mandy's voice but wondered why she was calling Bradley."Sir, it's Ms. Pendleton on the line."Esther gently knocked at the master bedroom entrance, reminding Bradley to a

Bradley's brazen words made Gabriel raise an eyebrow, and his scrutinizing gaze on Bradley intensified.Unfazed by Gabriel, Bradley calmly stated, "Mr. Sinclair, when I visited Shane recently, he handed me some video footage. It showed Esther being assaulted and abused in prison, with the perpetrators claiming it was my order. I've always dared to own up to my actions. What I've done, I won't shirk from. What I haven't done, I won't admit."Gabriel had seen the videos online. Even though Bradley had obscured the protagonist's face in the footage, he knew it was Esther. He had believed entrusting Esther to Thomas would ensure her safety, only to discover how fate twisted things."Bradley, I'll assume your words are true," Gabriel began. "Then tell me, if those people who assaulted Esther in prison weren't influenced by someone else, who put her in prison? Have you forgotten how you, in your irrational madness, expected a woman carrying your children to pay the price? Or do you believ

When Bradley brought up his grandfather again, he felt utterly unfilial as a grandson."Your grandfather's greatest wish before he passed was for you and Esther to live peacefully and happily. Sadly, all he witnessed was discord and enmity between you as a couple."Gabriel understood better than anyone that Bradley, in his youthful arrogance, felt that everything and everyone should conform to his desires. When Thomas compelled Bradley to marry Esther, almost like an arranged marriage, his rebellious nature surfaced."I've failed my grandfather's hopes," Bradley admitted with a bitter taste in his mouth.During quiet, solitary nights, he revisited memories of the past repeatedly.He hadn't desired that marriage back then. However, since he had promised his grandfather to marry Esther, he should have genuinely treated her as a wife.Despite the subsequent events not aligning with his wishes, he was painfully aware that if he hadn't been arrogant and unwilling to listen to Esther's

Esther wasn't pleasant toward Bradley. If she had evidence, she would gladly send him to prison to experience the joy of life behind bars.Bradley gazed blankly at Esther's stunning face, a hint of indescribable sorrow in his eyes. Those deep eyes resembled a chilly cold spring."Not only do you want to chop off my hand, but you also want my life, right?"Esther gestured a slice across her neck at Bradley with her hand, then turned away to tell Logan, "Let's go. Don't waste time on this.""Okay."With languid steps, Esther walked into the elevator. Once they were inside, the elevator doors shut.Outside the elevator, Bradley watched Esther and Logan like they were two puzzle pieces that matched perfectly. Instantly, he felt an unbearable heartache, as if his heart was being torn apart.He instinctively reached out to steady himself against the wall, observing the numbers on the elevator panel decrease until it stopped at the ground floor.It took a while before Bradley recovere

Throughout the entire night, neither Esther nor Logan had shut their eyes.Feeling their eyes strain, they applied eye drops. It wasn't until Esther noticed someone who shouldn't have been there on the surveillance footage."Logan, take a look at this."Perplexed, Logan asked, "What's going on?""Do you think this person looks like Shirley?"Esther was particularly sharp in discerning a woman's physique. She could immediately tell that the woman being supported by a man due to her intoxication bore a striking resemblance to Shirley."Let me see."Logan zoomed in on the surveillance footage, carefully comparing it with the footage containing Shirley. Physically, the two women indeed looked very similar.There was just one question... How would they confirm if she was Shirley?"Esther, stay here and keep watching the surveillance. I'll retrieve other surveillance footage.""Okay."Logan and Esther divided their tasks. Suspecting that the intoxicated woman might be Shirley, Est

Logan and Esther exchanged a glance. They fixed their intense gazes on Jason's face, unable to discern if he was smirking or provoking them."Mr. Taft, the evidence you seek will come."Jason scoffed. He seemed to transform into a different person as he put his glasses back on."Even if Shirley deceived me, I never wished harm upon her, let alone her death."I can consider your suspicions toward me as part of the investigation, but I hope that once everything is revealed, you can restore my innocence."I've said my piece. As long as Shirley hasn't divorced me, she remains my wife. I am obliged to cooperate in the investigation, and I hope you find her soon."Logan and Esther sensed something amiss with the first confrontation. They didn't say anything untoward until they exited the elevator and looked up at Jason's balcony outside.Jason stood on the balcony, looking at Logan and Esther and waving toward them.Logan and Esther looked at Jason before they turned and got into the

"She blocked me on all forms of contact at that time. I even tried contacting her through my colleagues' phones but found out she had blocked them, too. I thought she might be angry, so we should both calm down."Logan didn't speak and just listened quietly as Jason recounted the events of the case."I was angry that she blocked me. At my age, what's wrong with wanting a child? My parents were pushing for it, and I wondered if this marriage was what I wanted."Shirley is very beautiful. My friends and classmates say I'm lucky to have married her, but they don't know that beauty comes at a price."While my colleagues were buying properties, my wife kept changing bags. Her clothes, skincare products, shoes—everything was designer. To support her lifestyle, I work diligently, even taking extra freelance jobs to afford it."I thought I was a good husband and just wanted a child. What did I do wrong? If she had said that she didn't want a child after marriage in the first place, it wou

Gabriel took a long look at Esther, realizing more than anyone that Esther seemed to be heading toward a different extreme now. He wasn't certain if this shift in Esther's demeanor was good or bad.However, one thing was clear to him—the intersection of Esther and Bradley's lives resembled two lines crossing. After intersecting, they would drift further apart."Esther, you can investigate Bradley's criminal evidence. I won't object to that," Gabriel said with a stern face, emphasizing, "But ensure you complete your tasks on time and with quality.""Grandpa Gabriel, rest assured, I won't neglect my work."Gabriel nodded. "Go on then.""Alright." Esther stepped out of the office and approached Logan. "We can set off now.""Okay."Logan didn't inquire about Esther's conversation with Gabriel. Although they pretended to be engaged, Logan maintained a respectful distance from Esther. He wouldn't interfere much in her matters. However, he was aware that if she needed his help, he woul

Gabriel stated, "According to her husband, they argued before she went missing. He assumed she had returned to her parents' home and didn't inquire further since they often had cold spells for ten days to half a month. Their relatives and friends can testify to this."However, the cold spell extended to a month this time, which alarmed him. When he called her parents, they told him his wife never went home."Esther knew that the husband was often the first suspect when the wife went missing in cases like this."The wife bought a high-speed train ticket to her parents' home but didn't take the train back. The police traced her taking a ride-hailing car, and the driver claimed to have dropped her off on the street. The dashcam recording is proof. However, after that point, there's a blind spot in the surveillance footage. Usually, surveillance is kept for a certain period and gets overwritten after that."Logan asked, "What about the investigation on the missing woman's husband?""T

Esther rose, fixating on the distant scenery with clear eyes. "As long as he commits a crime, he'll leave traces."Logan was on the verge of speaking but was interrupted by the sudden ring of his phone."Hello, Mr. Sinclair."Gabriel's voice sounded grave. "There's a new lead.""Alright, we'll be right there."Logan stood up, turning to Esther. "We'll meet at the locker room entrance in ten minutes.""Is there a new development?""Yes."For most girls, ten minutes might not suffice even for basic grooming. For Esther, it was just right. The only issue was her long hair. Time was too short, and she lacked the opportunity to blow-dry it. Her damp hair draped over her shoulders, slightly soaking her T-shirt.Logan kept his eyes on the road. "I'll drive. You can use a towel to dry your hair.""Okay."As Logan drove, Esther sat in the car, patting her hair dry with a towel. Her hair was thick, posing a challenge to dry with just a towel.Nevertheless, Esther refrained from openi
