“B-Bradley,” Mandy said in fear, stuttering.
Bradley stepped closer, clutching Mandy’s throat. His eyes turned sinisterly crimson.
“Bradley…”
Mandy wondered if the enraged Bradley might strangle her to death.
Bradley stared coldly at Mandy’s face, finding no admiration in her delicate features. “Mandy, tell me, what did you

Bradley had gone to great lengths to keep Esther with him. What did that signify? Esther was his weakness.
“Mandy, remember. I’ve given you and your mother a peaceful life, understand?”
Mandy bit her lip and nodded gently. As she watched Bradley leave, she took a deep breath and slowly got to her
feet. She glanced at her delicate hand, blood trickling from her palm, and smiled inwardly.
