My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Mandy gently shook her head and remarked, "Bradley, if you plan to use me to provoke Logan's fiancee, you've approached the
wrong person."
Bradley coldly asked, "What do you mean?"
"Do you honestly believe Esther is still susceptible to jealousy because of you?" Mandy replied, convinced that Bradley's past
actions had likely soured any positive sentiments Esther might have had toward him.
In response to Mandy's mocking gaze, inexplicable anger welled up in Bradley. The flames of fury burned in his eyes as he
gripped Mandy's neck with his icy hand.
Unfazed, she met his gaze with a smile.
The tea master gasped, spilling tea in her trembling hand.
"Bradley, a friendly reminder—murder is illegal, and there's a witness present."
Bradley reluctantly released his grip and retorted, "Mandy, this is the path you've chosen."
Undeterred, Mandy beamed and traced the spot where Bradley had choked her. She taunted, "I believe Esther's decision to
drive off a cliff is a result of her losing hope in you."
Bradley's gaze darkened, but before he could react, Mandy suggested, "Bradley, I can't be your fiancee, but I can teach you how
to pursue a woman. Are you interested?"
This proposition made Bradley, who was about to leave, hesitate. "What do you mean?"
Mandy signaled to the tea master, who discreetly left them alone. Unnoticed by either Mandy or Bradley, she turned on the
recording function on her phone placed on the table.
"Mandy, explain yourself."
Mandy took a sip. "Forgive me for asking, but do you truly understand your feelings for Esther?
"The way you treated her before stemmed from a lack of understanding of your own emotions. You mistakenly believed that
keeping her by your side and not allowing her to leave equated to love. But did she feel loved? No, she felt suffocated. She
struggled to break free."

Bradley frowned at Mandy's insightful words.
"Bradley, women are emotional beings. When they love someone, they'll do anything."
Mandy changed her tone as she continued. "All I need from you now is to tell me your true feelings for Esther and what you want
her to do."
Bradley remained silent.
Mandy didn't press further. Instead, she picked up her phone and scrolled through her social media feed.
Logan's engagement drew significant attention in Capitus' elite society, with many curious individuals attending the party.
In the photos, Esther and Logan appeared incredibly compatible. Jealousy tinged Mandy's eyes red as she observed Esther in
the pictures.
Despite her emotional setbacks, Esther seemed to be thriving. She had a steadfast friend in Jasper, and the renowned physician
Agatha supported her.
