My Husband Wants Me Dead Chapter 1
“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, I’m here to send you off…’Before Esther could go to Thomas’ coffin, Bradley Warner’s flawless face appeared before her.“Bradley,” she could not help but murmur.“Esther Quill, who allowed you out of prison?“Who allowed you h

Esther had never seen Bradley like this. She struggled, shaking and crying.“Bradley Warner, let go of me!“Let me go!”As Esther thought she would be devoured by the wolf that was Bradley, the window was knocked in haste.Bradley, overwhelmed by anger, calmed down and got up from Esther in disdain. He opened the car door and got out.“What is it?”Cole Johnston held a phone and told him anxiously, “Mr. Bradley, Mr. Felix’s condition has worsened. Ms. Anstey says that the hospital just gave her the notice of critical condition…”When Bradley heard that, he pulled the car door open and told Cole, “Keep an eye on the funeral.”Bradley’s full attention was on his son in the hospital.Ten minutes or so later, he stopped the car at a Warner private hospital. He opened the car door and dragged Esther, who was barely dressed.Esther staggered before Bradley tossed her to the doctor and nurses.“Check if she’s a match right now!”In unison, the doctor and nurses answered, “Yes, Mr.

Bradley looked at Esther’s pale face with interest and reminded, “Esther, the kids you spent ten months carrying, they’re still alive!”Esther rose to her feet in shock.“That’s impossible!”She had gone to prison being pregnant, but her children had been announced dead once they were delivered, having suffocated in her womb for too long.“How’s that impossible?” Bradley leaned back on the chair confidently. “It’s easy for the Warners to take a pair of babies out of prison. Don’t forget you’re still my wife legally. You think I had no right to handle the b*stards you carry?”Bradley’s words overwhelmed Esther. She looked at him as if she was trying to determine how true what he said was.“Work with me obediently, and I might be kind enough to tell you where those b*stards are.”Esther stood up shakily and looked up at the ruthless man, asking seriously, “Are my kids really alive?”“Do I have to lie to you?”Esther shook her head. She dared not trust him, yet she hoped that eve

Jasper was in a navy suit, and his hair was slightly long and curled. He smirked and asked indifferently, “I’d also love to know when you will divorce Esther, Mr. Warner.”Bradley snickered. “Jasper, as your business rival, consider this a kind word of advice from me. There are plenty of fish in the ocean. Why waste your time on a murderer?”‘Murderer?’ Jasper shook his head in his mind.He could not fathom why the sharp and ruthless Bradley in the business world was this stupid about women.“Bradley, you must be blind not to see Esther’s worth.”Jasper and Bradley stood at loggerheads. Their commanding presence put their assistants and secretaries in distress.“If you divorce Esther right now, I’ll marry her right off the bat.”Bradley smirked cruelly and went straight to the point. “Your family won’t agree.”Jasper shrugged, saying, “I graduated from Stanford. Even without the Searle family’s background as support, I won’t starve my wife. You, however, shouldn’t you give a

Esther took over the slightly fragranced handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face, interrupting Jasper.“It’s not important now. I just want to find my kids.”Esther thought that she would never stay a second longer by Bradley’s side once she found her children. She would leave with them forever and never meet him again.Jasper looked at how thin Esther had gotten and comforted her, “You’re too weak now. Take care of yourself so that you can take good care of your kids when you find them.”His phone rang, and only a “Y” appeared on the screen as the caller.“Esther, I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first. There are daily necessities you’ll need in these suitcases, and I’ve prepared a phone for you with my contact information added there. Just text me if you need me.”It was expected that Jasper was busy since he was running the Searle Group. Their friendship was thus precious since he could still make time for her despite his busy schedule.“Jasper, pleas

“Liliane, this slap is for Grandpa Thomas!“This slap is for my—”Esther slapped Liliane several times, but soon a furious Bradley came due to the ruckus in the hospital ward.“Esther, what are you up to again!?”Bradley grabbed Esther and threw her to the bedside cabinet.Blood streamed from her forehead 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 co

Felix approached Esther as softly as he could. He carefully placed a lollipop beside her pillow, saying gently, “Pretty madam, the medicine is bitter, but it won’t be with the lollipop.”Esther had actually woken up before Felix came in.She was unwilling to interact with him because he was Liliane’s kid. She was afraid she would involuntarily project her hatred for Liliane on this innocent child.However, there was an inexplicable jolt in her heart when Felix approached her. She wanted to be close to him for no reason.“You… Why are you here?” Esther asked in a hoarse voice.Felix’s clear eyes glittered when he saw that she was awake and answered, “Ma’am, you’re awake?”Esther touched the boy’s cheek and asked softly, “You’re alone?”“Daddy and Mommy went to work!”Felix tried to climb up to her bed clumsily, but he was too short. Thus, he was unable to do so despite several attempts.Esther could not help carrying him up.“Ma’am.”Felix looked so alike to Bradley, yet he w

Esther pulled out her phone to call Jasper from the cab’s backseat.“Jasper, it’s me. My daughters are in Sunflower Welfare.”Jasper arched his brow and asked, “How do you know?”Esther told him about how she and Felix had worked together, and Jasper asked with a frown, “Esther, do you fully believe what a child says? Aren’t you afraid that it’s a trap?”“I can’t care as much now. Even if there’s only a sliver of a chance, I want to give it a go.”Jasper replied, “Alright, we’ll meet at the welfare home later.”“Okay.”Esther had lost her freedom behind bars for five years. Now that she sat in the backseat of the cab, she appreciated the bright neon lights of the city at night.The cool breeze kissed her face, and she took a deep breath before smiling genuinely. This was the smell of freedom.The map showed that Sunflower Welfare was on the other side of the city. Even though it was not peak hours, the roads were still congested. The experienced cab driver ended up stuck on th

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
