A Nightmare Gone
“Daddy!” AJ came running down without needing to be told, and he immediately rushed to hug Ed.
“Daddy, I'm going to have a sibling; Mommy said so! I don’t need to borrow one from Derian!”
AJ announced this with a tone of triumph.
“Wow! That’s awesome. You seem really excited.” Ed also looked relieved. He had rushed home, ready to help convince AJ if he reacted negatively. But that assumption was clearly wrong.
“I’m going to play hide and seek with the baby like we did at school today. Mommy, when is the baby coming? Is it tomorrow?”
AJ slowed down a bit, realizing he didn't know the specifics but still thinking that a sibling would arrive like a package delivered by a courier.
“Not that quickly, AJ. It’ll be about seven more months before the baby arrives,” Ed said, holding back a chuckle. He picked AJ up and carried him back to bed.
AJ immediately flo

"Sorry, I can't let you get any closer right now." Ed took Ruby's hand and pulled her back behind the tree shade. Ed didn't want Ruby to be seen, even a little bit."Oh, right." Ruby hadn't realized she had stepped too far. She didn't mean to reveal herself while peeking earlier."It's over. They might leave soon." Ed glanced at the group of reporters covering Esli's funeral. The gathering was not large, yet it exceeded ten people.Ed didn't want to appear before the reporters, and he certainly wouldn't allow Ruby to show up either. They would write a new story if they saw Ruby, who looked so much like Liz.That's why they could only wait behind the large oak tree during the funeral. Waiting for things to quiet down.But even from a distance, Ed had noted who attended the funeral. Some kept their distance—like when he saw the reporters—but others stood by the grave until the ceremony was over.Ed recognized some guests he had met
My BEAST HUSBAND Another Name
"I haven't told Mom anything yet, so... it would be better if you don't bring up the funeral or anything else."Ruby spoke as they reached the EJF (El Jade Foundation) grounds. Liz had taken a different car, so Ruby hadn't been able to discuss anything else regarding her mother.“Is this a hospital?” Liz looked around, both amazed and confused.EJF is quite different now, of course. The foundation was functioning properly. Its patients weren't just Jade but also other Alzheimer’s sufferers in the country. Since it was the first of its kind, news of its existence spread quickly, and many people transferred their family members there. It wasn’t long before the foundation became quite busy.“Almost, but not entirely a hospital.” As they walked toward the elevator, Ruby pointed at the large lettering on the wall behind the reception. Her mother’s room was on the third floor."El Jade Foundation. Alzheimer Cente
My BEAST HUSBAND She Remember
"Mama!" Ruby rushed to hug her mother. Anything to stop her from screaming."Mama, it's gone. Calm down," Ruby coaxed, trying to hold back Jade's frantic movements."But... You're Ruby... Gemma!? Where are you?! Gemma!" Jade spun around in panic, searching."Your sister! Where is she?! Find her, Ruby! Don’t get separated!" Jade cried out, her voice filled with unmistakable desperation."Mama, calm down. Gemma...""I'm here." Liz, who had been watching in confusion, finally spoke up as she slowly approached. Her face was pale, and she trembled slightly from shock, but she stepped forward."I'm here," Liz repeated more firmly. Jade turned her eyes, refocusing."Gemma..." Jade's voice was hoarse, full of disbelief, and then she turned to look at Ruby."I'm Ruby," Ruby clarified, emphasizing that there were two of them, not just one."Gemma..." Jade's voice broke into sobs. Her hand reached out toward Liz, trying to step for
My BEAST HUSBAND I'll Find Him
Jade never once mentioned Gemma, Esli, or anyone else, but Ruby had seen Jade cry for them.Tears used to be a mystery to Ruby. She didn’t understand what made her mother sob like that without reason. Ruby wanted to comfort her, but she didn’t know how. She didn’t know the cause back then.It turns out those tears were for Gemma, a guilt that her mother felt for reasons unknown. Her mother regretted that they had been separated. Ruby wished Liz would understand more and give her mother some breathing space.“You’re stupid!” Liz wiped her own tear-stained cheek, then turned and walked away.Ruby didn’t chase after her; letting her go was for the best. She knew their argument would only escalate if they kept staring at each other. They both needed to calm down.“Ruby, sit down.” The gentle touch and pat on Ruby's back quickly soothed her. Ruby's breathing slowly became more regular. With Ed's help
My BEAST HUSBAND The Mocking
"Where are we going, Mommy?" AJ didn't recognize the area they had come to with Ruby.Ruby was unfamiliar with it too, but Otiz confidently led the way ahead of them. Since only Otiz knew the way, he had been their guide. They were in one of Guadalajara's large malls."Mommy wants to take you to meet someone." Ruby gently stroked AJ's head, trying to calm herself. She wasn’t sure if meeting Liz was a beneficial idea, but she had to. She needed to bring AJ to meet Jade today. Ruby was prepared in case Jade asked for Gemma again.Ruby knew she had to meet Liz in person to persuade her. There was no way Liz would come willingly after their argument yesterday."Who?" AJ inquired, holding Ruby's hand tightly to avoid getting separated in the crowded mall."Mommy has a sister, and I want you to meet her," Ruby explained."What?!" AJ was, of course, shocked. This was the first time he had heard about it."Does she live here?" AJ looked
My BEAST HUSBAND It's Enough
"Sorry, how can I help?” A woman with thick glasses and neatly tied hair appeared, looking at the three people caught up in the drama.“Are you incompetent at managing the store? Your employee hit me!” The friend, who had previously been pushed, raised her hand.“Oh my gosh! Liz, is this true?” The manager looked at Liz, who was still clenching her fists by her sides.“She touched me first!” Liz hissed, trying to defend herself.“We were just pointing out that her hair was a bit messy. The store's standards are very high; you can’t have an employee looking unkempt, right? I was just reminding her for her own good. She shouldn't be offended.” Liz’s friend continued playing the victim, and unfortunately, the manager believed her.“Liz, I’ve been very lenient with you because many customers like your style recommendations, but I can’t tolerate this forever! You can&rsq
My BEAST HUSBAND We Wanna Know
"Are you sure it's not a problem? You don't have a job anymore," Ruby asked anxiously, following Liz as she quickly walked toward Jade's room. Ruby had been silent during the journey, feeling regretful.Ruby had fought hard earlier, hoping the manager would reconsider and see that Liz wasn't at fault, rather than making things worse by causing Liz to lose her job."It is a problem because I'll lose my pay, but it's also good. I've grown tired of working there. The products are too outdated." Liz shrugged, looking indifferent, but Ruby knew that it worried her.Ruby knew all too well the despair of losing a job. She had been unfairly fired before and understood how difficult it was to find a new job."Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom," AJ suddenly piped up, tugging on Ruby's hand."I'll take him," Otiz offered, extending his hand, and AJ agreed immediately.Liz spoke again once AJ was out of earshot. "I still have about..." Liz counted her
My BEAST HUSBAND Somebody's Coming
And that joy was instantly tainted. The smile seemed to be swept away by a storm of bad memories seemed to sweep away the smile."No, I'm ashamed; I don't want to! You are here, and that's enough!" Jade pulled her hand away, avoiding her and bowing her head."There's no need. Gemma!" Jade suddenly jolted and jumped off the bed. She looked at the door in panic."Ruby! Lock the door!" She gave the order, then dragged Liz to the corner of the room, instructing her to crouch behind a plant pot."Is he coming? Is he going to take you? You have to hide! Don't let him see you!" Jade shouted."Who’s coming? No one is going to take me." Liz crouched down but tried to explain."Yes, Mama. No one is going to take Gemma away again. She can see you every day." Ruby smiled, trying to counter Jade's panic with cheerfulness."No, Ruby! If I don't resist, he'll try to take you too! I couldn’t take Gemma! He will take you too!" Jade hobbled
