My BEAST HUSBAND A New Task
“Hiding what? You’ve got it wrong.” Esli nervously released Ed’s hand before his own could be severed.“I just want Liz to enjoy herself when she meets her friends.”Esli tried to persuade him, but Ed kept walking inside, not knowing where Liz's room was but guessing it would be on the second floor.“Wait, Don Rosas!” Esli followed in a panic, cursing under his breath.“Hey! Where are you going?”Just as Ed reached the end of the stairs, Ruby greeted them sweetly, looking normal, but her shoulders moved slightly, hiding her labored breathing. It was clear she had been running, but she tried to look as if she hadn’t.“Where have you been?” asked Ed. Ruby had emerged from the hallway leading to the back exit.“Oh, I was just seeing my friends off. They just left.” Ruby forced a smile.“What happened to your forehead?” Ed approached Ruby and tilted her head up. The bandage was quite large.“This? I fell while fooling around earlier. It’s a small wound, but my friends insisted I wear a ba
My BEAST HUSBAND Why are You Angry?
“Are you crazy?!” Ruby couldn't hold on to her tongue any longer. She wanted to curse at Esli.“Why? This should be an easy task. I see he's already quite interested in you. You just need to seduce him a bit more. Use your body, or whatever; just make him worship you.”Ruby's hand at her side clenched into a fist, preventing herself from grabbing a vase and throwing it at Esli's face. She couldn't understand how someone could be so heartless.“You might think I'm cruel, but believe me. Rosas deserves what's happening to him. You don't need to feel sorry for Rosas or act sanctimonious like Ja—just follow my instructions. That way, you can be with Jade again soon. The sooner you make him fall in love, the sooner I'll give your mother back.” Esli sneered.Meanwhile, Ruby's head was pounding. Her mind raced, searching for a way forward.“Two hundred million pesos. I want 200 million as payment,” Ruby stated firmly.“You must be insane!” Esli raged again.That amount was indeed fantastic.
My BEAST HUSBAND You Can't Ask
Ed was about to dive into the pool, but then he saw Ruby moving her hands and feet. She didn't appear to be drowning; she was swimming normally. It wasn't an accidental fall or an accident. Ruby intended to swim.Still, it was an odd decision given that it was nearly three in the morning.Ed stood waiting, unmoving and silent, by the pool's edge. Because there weren't any bright lights around, Ruby was unaware of his presence.Ruby kept swimming back and forth until she finally stopped and stood still in the middle of the pool. She hung her head, her wet hair covering her face. Ed saw her body shaking, naturally thinking it was because of the cold. But then he realized that her hunched shoulders and back were caused by crying. There was no sobbing, but Ruby then covered her face with her hands."Why are you crying?" Ed moved closer and sat by the pool's edge, knees bent.Of course, Ruby was startled. She had been very sure she was alone."You're... why... here?" Ruby inquired, wiping
My BEAST HUSBAND It's Just Don't Feel Right
"I won't ask, but I'll tell you to go to sleep. You've had enough swimming,” Ed said, putting down the towel and turning away.He would leave and sleep somewhere else—change clothes and cool down—because his body temperature was much higher than it should be, as he vividly remembered Ruby's wet, naked, and glistening body.“Cold,” Ruby whispered as Ed held the door handle.“No wonder.” Ed snorted, then turned around, approached the thermostat, and raised the temperature to make it warmer.“Next time, don’t have the idea of swimming before dawn,” said Ed, heading back to the door.“Still cold,” Ruby whispered even more faintly.“Is it still not enough?” Ed glanced at the temperature monitor. He began to feel hot. His room was never more than twenty-two degrees. He had already set it to a warm temperature of 25 °C.But as he was about to adjust the temperature again, a connection was made in his brain. It wasn't the temperature that was the problem.“Do you want me to stay?” Ed was hesi
My BEAST HUSBAND I'm Weakening
The request eventually became a hassle for Ed, as he had to think about the destination while Ruby fell back asleep. The medicine the doctor gave was quite potent, it seemed. Perhaps it was for the best, so she wouldn't get carsick.And now the medicine's effect was wearing off because Ruby was starting to wake up again."Where are we?" As she straightened up, Ruby inquired. Her head felt much better, and her body wasn't very warm anymore."Guadalajara." Ed, who didn't have a specific destination, just drove out of habit and ended up in Guadalajara."Oh, your work place." Ruby wiped her face, clearing the stickiness from her eyes, and then looked around. This was the first time she had visited the city, though she had heard of it often. Her mother frequently referred to Guadalajara as a place to avoid, not as a place to visit. She said it was dangerous.Ruby had never been interested in disobeying that order since it was so far away, but now it was too late, and the place no longer se
My BEAST HUSBAND Not For Me
Ruby woke up drenched in sweat, her body sticky, and she couldn't remember when or how she had fallen back asleep. She remembered drinking and sitting on the sofa, but nothing happened after that."Don't get sick," Ruby muttered irritably. Ruby rarely got really sick before this, but then again, she had never gone swimming in the middle of the night before.Ruby looked around and nearly screamed in surprise when she saw Ed lying next to her. He was sound asleep, still fully dressed.Ruby immediately felt guilty. She was the reason Ed had such an extraordinary day. Due to excessive stress, she had inadvertently dragged Ed into her randomness. Meeting her mother, Esli, and her new plans were too much to think about all at once.Ruby made a mental note that she must not lose control like she did yesterday. What she had done was irrational.Ruby got out of bed, and the first thing she did was lower the air conditioning temperature. She knew the room was warm because of her ability to see
My BEAST HUSBAND I Want It Too
Ruby flipped the tortilla, which had already turned brown, twice, ensuring all sides were heated before transferring it to a plate. The fillings were ready, so Ruby just had to arrange and roll them."You can cook?" Ed entered the kitchen with wet hair and a towel, drawn in by the aroma of food as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom."I'm just heating things up. This is Tita's cooking, right?" Ruby pointed to the bean paste that would complete the burrito. After sampling it for freshness earlier, she immediately recognized the taste. The fridge in the house was stocked with ample food, all of it prepared by Tita, and just needed reheating."Yes. " Ed nodded. "Tita sends food here every two or three days." But usually, the food went to waste. Ed rarely made use of it like Ruby was doing now."You've cooked before," Ed commented as he watched Ruby competently roll the tortilla with its fillings—meat and various vegetables."I've heated things up before. Not cooked in detail." Ruby wa
My BEAST HUSBAND You'll Know
“This row will suit you.” Ed pointed to a row of books that were indeed thicker than average.But Ruby’s eyes were fixed on one book, and she immediately pulled it down.“You have it! You’ve already read it.” Ruby showed the book she had just been discussing.“Why didn’t you say anything?” Ruby immediately felt like her effort to explain had been wasted.“I didn’t want to spoil your happiness.”Ruby had already sighed, ready to continue her anger, but she deflated upon hearing that reason. There was no way to stay mad with an excuse like that. Ed just didn’t want to disrupt her enthusiasm.“And I might need to hear a direct review because I need a reason to finish it.” Ed showed a bookmark stuck about a third of the way into the book.“This book isn’t my favorite type, but I’ll finish it later. It seems like there are many interesting parts to come.” Ed didn’t say the book was bad, just that it wasn’t his preferred genre.“Yes. The further you go, the more interesting it gets. Many th

My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 66 - A Happy Life
“Such chaos,” Liz lamented as she watched the crowd of rowdy children, who had become the main guests at her wedding.“Yeah, I didn’t expect it to get this wild either.” Ruby sat beside her, watching AJ hand out chocolate-covered strawberries to the other kids.He wasn’t alone—Claud, Val's second child, was helping him. They eventually grew close, even though their conversations were sometimes limited because Claud was more fluent in Italian than English. Still, they got along well enough.“How did it all start?” Ed frowned.“I don’t know.” Ruby was also unsure.“Maybe I shouldn’t have agreed when AJ asked.” Liz deeply regretted it.Somehow, AJ had convinced Liz to provide a chocolate fountain for her wedding, and it had become the source of chaos. The younger children were enjoying it, but soon chocolate stains appeared on the white tablecloths, as wel
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 65 - Busy Life
"Do I have to? I already checked that document yesterday. Can’t you do it instead?" When Ed saw another email from Otiz, he complained.It was a financial report. Since Matteo had spread his investments in every direction—across more or less thirty companies—the financial reports Otiz received came from all directions, across different types of businesses. Ed hadn't anticipated this.Being an investor wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. He still had to work.“You’re the one who has to check it. I’m just the middleman,” Otiz firmly refused.He could refuse because the request was made over the phone. Perhaps if they were face-to-face, Otiz would be more compliant. He was no longer blindly following Ed's orders, carefully sorting out what should and should not be done. He was only responsible for delivering financial reports, not reviewing them.Ed grumbled. He was quite used to reviewing company pa
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 64 - I Planned This For A Long Time
"‘What do you want to show me?’ As she approached Ed, Ruby inquired.She left AJ's side; he was busy reading a story to his two younger siblings. Elena and Elisa sat quietly, either really listening or getting sleepy. It was already time for their afternoon nap."Read this," Ed shifted, making room for Ruby to sit beside him, and handed her a phone displaying an article in Spanish. Less than two hours had passed since the publication of this hot news story.Ruby didn’t pay attention to that, though, because she was immediately stunned by the headline.‘DEA ARRESTS MAJOR MEXICAN CARTEL AND EXPOSES BILLION-DOLLAR BUSINESS NETWORK’"What... you...?" Ruby turned pale and panicked, of course."Read it to the end," Ed said, pointing to the rest of the text that she had not yet seen.Ruby read quickly and frowned. There was no mention of Ed or Rosas anywhere. Only Reyes. Marco Reyes. He was the story's
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 63 - The Expected Betrayal
Two black vans speed down a deserted road. It was already nighttime, and they were the only ones there. The end of the road was in sight—a black iron gate.“Ram it!”A shout rang out, and the vans didn’t slow down. The passengers inside, all dressed in black, held on tight as a deafening crash echoed.The gate fell, bent, but opened. The two vans barged through and stopped right in front of the brightly lit house.“Get in and kill everyone!”Another shout, and the people inside the vans scrambled out, storming into the beachside house. Some were carrying firearms; others were wielding clubs.However, as they entered, everyone froze. No one came to greet them. The house was supposed to be full of guards, which was why they had come in numbers—ready for a confrontation.In reality, what greeted them was silence. Not a single person appeared, even though the house was brightly lit.“
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 62 - What Really Hapening?
"AJ, don't make Abuela tired!" Ruby reprimanded AJ for running away with something, while Mia pursued him.But it was impossible to make AJ stop, especially since his younger siblings were laughing joyfully at his antics. Elisa and Elena had just learned to walk, and they happily followed him around.AJ couldn't stop when he had such an audience. Mia seemed to be scolding him, but everyone knew Mia could never really be upset at AJ.Ruby had to step in, followed by Ed to watch over Elisa and Elena. Although falling on the sand wouldn't hurt, the beach had sharp rocks that could scrape them."Mommy! They should chase me! Don't pick them up!" AJ didn’t want his little sisters to be carried away and stop the fun."Alright," Ruby said, intending to supervise them closely."How about we take a vacation?" Ed abruptly proposed the idea, having just finished reading a message on his phone."Hm?" Ruby was surprised. There had been no suc
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 61 - That's Not The Plan
"Here."Ed gave Otiz a handkerchief to wipe away his tears. If it had been just a few, he would have let Otiz cry—and wiped the tears with the sleeve of his jacket.The problem was that Otiz couldn’t stop crying. He had already been emotional when Ed stood beside him at the altar, and it got worse when he saw Lori walking down the aisle, escorted by flowers. It was all too beautiful and dazzling for his eyes.“Sorry,” Otiz stammered, wiping the remaining tears from his face.“What are you apologizing for? At a wedding, shedding tears is not considered inappropriate. You're just too happy. No one will blame you.” Ed gently patted Otiz’s shoulder and then turned his gaze forward.Of course, Lori was the focus of the event. Her choice of dress was perfect, blending seamlessly with the entire garden decor. Flowers, ribbons, music, and all the other elements were carefully and precisely chosen—now showcasi
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 60 - Something For The Future
Ed tapped his finger on the glass in his hand. His eyes were fixed on a single point—Marco Reyes.The man was speaking with Otiz. Nothing important. Marco was just making small talk, and Otiz was doing the same—being polite, answering Marco's questions about his law firm's progress. Ed actually needed to speak to both of them, but he chose to start with Marco first.Ed just needed to gesture with his chin, and Otiz understood immediately. He excused himself, making up a reason, and left Marco alone."I need to talk to you," Ed said as he approached."Oh? What is it?" Marco immediately followed Ed, moving to the quiet side yard. The other guests filled the living room."I want you to handle the shipment to Ecuador and Brazil next week."Marco looked as if he had choked. This was incredibly surprising. Ed had never let him touch the South American market before. Ed had always handled it himself. Marco had only been managing North A
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 59 - Perfect Grandma
"Mommy, I want to try! You be Elena, and I'll be Elisa."AJ reached out his hand, asking for the milk bottle from Ruby. He wanted to try feeding the babies—and he chose Elisa.Usually, Tita was around to help Ruby, but today Tita was busy, so Ruby had been on her own since earlier."You can, but please be careful, okay? Don’t let her choke, and don’t squeeze." Ruby guided AJ's hand to hold the bottle filled with pre-warmed breast milk, helping him apply just the right pressure so it wouldn't press too hard against Elisa's lips."Wow! Look, Mommy! She's drinking!" AJ exclaimed happily, eyes sparkling with joy. This was the first time he was directly involved—doing something for his little sister. AJ usually watched, but at first he was afraid to hold the babies. He would look in awe but wouldn’t dare touch them.“See? It’s not a big deal, right? You don’t have to be scared anymore.”&l
My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 58 - Two Little Angle
From their disheveled appearance, it was clear that Liz and Asher had either just rushed out of a room or possibly run over here. One thing was certain: as soon as they heard the news about Ruby, they had hurried over."Where? Ruby... You're pale. Why... It shouldn't be happening now."Just like Lori, Liz was out of breath as she approached Ruby, panicking. The news had shocked everyone. Liz had already planned to stay in Puerto Vallarta next week to be there for Ruby when she gave birth.Of course, Liz no longer lived at Ed’s house. She had managed to buy her own apartment.“I’m fine, and they’re fine too. But the nurse hasn’t brought them here yet. Calm down… breathe.”Ruby was already able to speak clearly and now had to calm Liz down. She was the one lying down, barely conscious, yet had to reassure everyone else."Are you really okay? No problems? Any complications?" Liz touched Ruby’s bo
