After my death my husband who threw me into the hunting grounds went insane novel

Chapter 2 The butler , looking increasingly worried , hesitated before speaking , Sir , the food we air dropped for Mrs.

Carter hasnt been touched in two days .

Could something have happened to her ? Liam let out a dismissive snort .

Shes like a cockroach shes not going to die that easily .

Shes probably holed up deep in the woods somewhere , The butlers voice carried a note of concern .

But , sir , even cockroaches have to eat .

Liams smile turned cruel Theres plenty of wild berries out there .

Shes used to eating fancy meals every day .

A little hardship might finally teach her some humility .

The butler opened his mouth to continue , but Liam waved him off impatiently .

Enough Tomorrow , Ill take a team to search the forest .

If you plead for her again , Ill toss you in there with her .

That shut the butler up .

He pressed his lips together and didnt say another word .

Chloe Harper appeared then , rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she walked into the room .

Liam , whats the surprise youve got planned for me ? The icy look in Liams eyes melted away as he turned to her .

Youll find out tomorrow , he said softly .

Chloes gaze landed on the screen in the living room , which was replaying the footage of me in the woods .

Her wide eyes filled with unease .

Isnt this a little … too much ? she asked , her voice uncertain .

Liam sighed and reached out to ruffle her hair .

Chloe , youre just too kind .

Thats why Emily always took advantage of you .

Chloe bit her lip , pretending to look conflicted .

But Emily did what she did because she loved you too much .

Liams expression darkened .

If she really loved me , she wouldnt have hurt you .

If she hadnt been so stubborn , I wouldnt have had to throw her into the hunting ground .

Chloes lips curled into a sweet smile .

Youre so good to me , Liam .

Liam smiled indulgently at her , carefully brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear .

Ill always protect you .

He used to say things like that to me , too .

I watched the two of them, their obvious affection for each other , and let out a bitter laugh .

Not that they could hear me .

After all , I was already dead .

When my dog had accidentally scratched Chloes arm , Liam had lost his mind and thrown me into the Bennett Wildlife Reserve the familys private hunting ground .

Chapter 2 The forest at night was a monster lying in wait , its jaws eager to devour anyone who dared enter .

I had been shackled and shoved into a cage , stripped of any dignity .

On my knees , Id begged him .

Liam , Im pregnant with your child .

Please dont leave me here alone .

But my desperate pleading hadnt softened him one bit .

Liam had sneered .

You think you can use some bastard child to threaten me ? Since you love animals so much , go ahead and live out here until you die .

And just like he said , I did die .

I had managed to escape the hunting dogs chasing me , but then I ran into a swarm of angry wasps .

The enraged insects covered my body , stinging me over and over .

The pain was unrelenting , like waves crashing over me , tearing into my flesh .

Sweat soaked through my tattered clothes .

My screams of agony echoed through the forest , startling the birds into flight .

It didnt last long , though .

Finally , mercifully , I was freed from the pain .

But my child would never get to see the world .
