Suddenly, a sharp pain radiated from Bradley's heart. He instinctively clutched the edge of the crystal coffin, his keen eyes locking onto Esther's emotionless face.
"Esther!"
Esther's eyes were cold, lacking the human warmth one would expect. "Is there anything else you wish to command?"
Without warning, Bradley seized her by the neck.
Esther displayed no signs of pain or relief. A sense of defeat washed over Bradley, and he staggered back, gazing at Esther.
Esther was seemingly oblivious to Bradley's turmoil and smiled gracefully at him.
"Bradley!
"Bradley!"
Mandy's voice pierced the air, causing Bradley to exit the secret chamber decisively.
"Is there something you need?" he asked.
Mandy handed him a neatly arranged fruit platter, speaking gently. "I've prepared this fruit platter for you."
"Set it down and leave," he commanded.
Mandy obediently placed the fruit platter on the table and left the room.
