Bradley wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, haunted by the image of Esther bathed in crimson. His eyes blazed with pent-up rage, ready to burst forth, He seized Estherâs delicate neck, forcefully pinning her to the table in the visitorsâ room. He then trapped her legs with his, rendering her immobile.
âHeart?â he said, gripping her chin with hatred. âEsther, this question should be directed at you. You concealed the fact that you were pregnant just to divorce me!â
Estherâs heart sank, overwhelmed by self-disgust. It was her fault. If only she had been more vigilant, she would not have fallen for such an obvious trap of âFelix falling into the waterâ.
âYou owe me a child!â Bradley declared brazenly.
In response, Esther bit down hard on his hand, drawing blood. Her heart ached with pain.
Bradley grabbed her hair with one hand, his gaze filled with resentment. âAre you a dog?â He smeared his bloodied hand across her pale face, creating a stark contrast.
As he took in her shattered beauty, he couldnât help but be entranced.
A shiver ran down Estherâs spine when she noticed the change in Bradleyâs gaze.
âBradley, release me!â
Bradley tightened his grip on her hair, growling, âYou should be grateful!â
âGrateful for what?â Esther asked, puzzled.
Bradley caressed her eyebrow like a precious porcelain piece. âWhy the act, Esther?â
He leaned in and forcefully kissed her lips. She whimpered, trying to push him away, but he remained resolute.
He whispered something in her ear.
Esther stared at him in shock, then regained her senses, gritting her teeth. âBradley, this is the visitorsâ
room. Are you insane?â
Bradley said savagely, âIâm not negotiating with you, understand?â
Esther had never imagined that Bradley would become the person he was today. In her memories, he was poised, shining like the bright moon in the sky. The current Bradley seemed like a deity fallen off the divine altar.
âI just had a miscarriage!â
Bradley grinned and arrogantly said, âEsther, you should be grateful that you had a miscarriage!
Otherwiseâ¦â
As Bradleyâs aggressive gaze swept over Estherâs face, Esther flushed.
âNo!â Esther replied.
Bradley no longer sought to punish Esther and lowered his head to kiss her.
Esther struggled desperately. Tears flowed from her eyes like broken pearls. She looked at Bradleyâs face and suddenly remembered what Kevin had said about Bradley having liver cancer.
He probably would not have much time left if he did not undergo a liver transplant.
