Chapter 685


    Esther''s eyes widened in surprise. It appeared she hadn''t heard clearly. She asked in a trembling


    voice, "What did you say?"


    Bradley gently nibbled on Esther''s ear, his voice intimate, like a lover''s. "Esther, should it be an


    ident? Or..."


    An ident? For some reason, when Esther heard the word "ident," the first thing that came to her


    mind was Thomas'' ident.


    "Bradley! What do you want exactly?" Esther asked, feeling helpless.


    Bradley''s smile turned wickedly sardonic. "Esther, tell me, what can I do to ensure that a man who


    desires my woman will never think of coveting her again?"


    "Bradley! We''re divorced!"


    Esther knew she shouldn''t provoke Bradley at a time like this, but she couldn''t control herself. She


    turned around in the confined space of the crystal coffin, locking eyes with Bradley''s intense gaze.


    "The court has already finalized our divorce."


    A murderous glint appeared in Bradley''s eyes. "Esther, I told you, this game you started will end with


    me."


    Tears of despair welled up in Esther''s beautiful eyes. "Bradley, if you hate me so much... why don''t you


    just kill me?"


    If she were dead, everything woulde to an end.


    "I want you to long for life but be unable to find death!" Bradley revealed.


    Suddenly, Esther couldn''t contain herself any longer and bit into Bradley''s neck.


    Crimson blood flowed from his wound, trickling down her neck like a small stream.


    Bradley remained unafraid and evenughed somewhat maniacally. "What? Reluctant to kill your


    husband?"


    Bradley pinched Esther''s chin, his cool fingers caressing the blood on Esther''s lips.


    In anguish, Esther asked, "Bradley, what... What do you want?"


    "Guess!" Bradley smirked and kissed her.


    He had be the master of Esther''s life.


    He wanted her to live.


    He wanted her to die.


    He wanted her to be his captive forever.


    -


    It wasn''t clear how much time had passed when Bradley reluctantly released Esther. He seemed


    addicted to her.


    He gently brushed away the stray hair on Esther''s cheek, his touch affectionate. Gradually, he fell


    asleep with Esther in his arms.


    It wasn''t until the sound of a servant entering with breakfast woke Bradley that he slowly got up. He

    pressed a remote control, closed the coffin lid, and instructed the servant, "Take good care of her while


    I''m away."


    "Yes, Mr. Warner."


    Bradley gazed at the sleeping Esther for a moment. She was only this docile and charming when she


    was asleep.


    ''Esther, the Quills will never be able to take you away from me again, just likest time.''


    -


    Unlike Liora''s tearful cries, Mandy had a good night''s sleep. She didn''t know how long she would have


    the opportunity to sleep this well. Since she had the chance, she naturally wanted to seize it.
