After My Death, My Husband Who Threw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane novel Chapter 13

Liam stood, his eyes wild with madness.

When he found Chloe, she was at a high-end restaurant, surrounded by her girlfriends.

The table was littered with shopping bags from luxury stores.

One of her friends leaned in, fawning.

"Thanks, Chloe! I can't believe you got us such expensive gifts. You're so generous."

Another friend, brimming with envy, chimed in.

"You and Liam must be getting married soon, right? Make sure to invite us to the wedding!"

Chloe blushed, putting on a coy act.

"Oh, nothing's set in stone yet. But Liam's already looking at private islands. Don't worry, if we get married, you'll all be my bridesmaids."

The group erupted in excited squeals.

"Wow, Liam's so extravagant! Buying a whole island for the wedding? Chloe, you're going to live like a queen."

Chloe basked in their praise, her smile smug, her eyebrows arching with pride.

"Well, Liam did say I'm his true love. Of course, the wedding has to be grand."

The door burst open with a thunderous crash.

Liam stormed in, his expression cold and unrelenting.

Chloe screamed as he grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her out of the private room.

Tears streamed down her face as she struggled against him.

"Liam, you're hurting me!"

He ignored her completely.

His eyes were dark, devoid of any warmth—a man possessed, like a demon rising straight from hell.

The water reached just below her shoulders—not deep enough to drown her, but enough to keep her trapped.

The reservoir's walls were high and slick. Without a ladder, there was no way for her to climb out.

"Liam, did I do something wrong? Did I upset you?"

Chloe's voice trembled, her tear-streaked face pitiful and pleading.

Usually, Liam would've been moved. He would've rushed to comfort her.

But not this time.

Liam stood there, unmoved, his gaze cold and unfeeling.

Finally, he spoke his first words to her that day.

"You shouldn't have messed with Emily."
