My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 790

Jasper walked mechanically, got to the burned body, and knelt heavily. He reached out his hand, but as soon as his finger brushed the body, he pulled back like it shocked him.

"Esther! I'm so sorry!

"This is all my fault! I promised to keep you safe, but I let you down!

"Esther, I... I..." Jasper's hands trembled as he tried to hold it. "I'll take you back."

Bradley seized Jasper by the collar, his voice filled with threat. "Jasper, you can't touch her!"

"Can't? Bradley, what gives you the right to stop me?"

Bradley couldn't believe this burned body was Esther, but he wouldn't let Jasper near her, even if she was just a body.

"Esther is my wife," Bradley declared for all to hear, which made Jasper and Kevin laugh.

Jasper turned to Bradley and asked, "If she's your wife, where's the marriage certificate?

"You claim Esther is your wife, but did you ever treat her like one? Not even for a day, not even for an hour!

"Ask everyone here. Ask the firefighters, the police, the doctors. Ask them how they treat their wives.
