My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Chapter 535

Esther weakly opened her eyes, gazing at the man who had astonished her entire youth. She whispered feebly, “Bradley, I hate you.”

Esther understood more than anyone else that love often lay on the opposite end of hate. Without an enduring love, could such profound hatred even exist?

“I hate you.” These three words echoed like thunder in Bradley’s ears.
