My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577 

“L… I…” 

Esther trembled as she looked at the gruesome photo once more, her fear and panic still very much alive. 

Bradley’s expression was dark and foreboding, his eyes resembling an enigmatic black hole that seemed to draw Esther in. 

“Who sent this to you?” he asked.
