My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

out?”

“That’s impossible,” Bradley said and strode into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Bradley caught his reflection on the elevator wall out of the corner of his eye. There were speckles of red on his back. He looked down at his hand and saw the clear bite mark on his purlicue.

Esther hated him to the core. She was like him.

They were supposed to be happy childhood sweethearts, but somehow, they had become the ones who hated each other the most in this world.

Bradley had no idea that someone wearing a mask and a white robe switched out a tube of blood on the machine just five minutes after all of them left. The staff in the lab did not notice this person who appeared and disappeared out of the blue either.

Liliane was overjoyed and asked, “Really? Brad, are you really going to marry me?”

When Bradley said those words, a vague sense of regret spread in his heart.

“You’ve done a lot these years.” Bradley thought about Liliane’s patience and wholehearted effort for Felix and said slowly, “After Felix recovers from the surgery, he’ll have to go to preschool after some rest. It’ll be difficult to fill out the enrollment form if we don’t get married.”
