Extra 17 - The Sun Is More Important

2024-10-29 19:42:56"What do you mean?" As the furrow of confusion on his forehead deepened, Otiz's eyes squinted, nearly closing.
"You must be well aware that working with me comes with the high risk of a short life, right? How many times have you gotten hurt for me? As far as I can recall, it’s happened twice. I'm not even counting the minor incidents. I don’t want you to be in danger all the time."
Ed could only remember two major ones. When Pedro and Marco nearly killed him in the forest and the time in New York. Two situations that, if anything had gone wrong, could've easily cost him his life.
"But... that's my job. I’m here to protect you. I don’t feel forced or afraid. So…"
Ed smiled and raised his hand. "I'm not accusing you of being afraid or anything like that. I just want to save you. And as for your 'duty,' I already told you yesterday; that doesn't apply anymore. You don’t have to die for me. And don’t say you’re

My BEAST HUSBAND Extra 18 - The Old Sun
"Otiz?!"Lori shrieked in surprise, seeing Otiz standing in the front room. She glanced around in panic. She hadn't invited Otiz, and it would be a disaster if anyone found out. She had stepped out after the servant mentioned a guest, but she didn’t expect Otiz to be the one who showed up.“What are you doing here? Why didn’t you call me first?” Lori grabbed Otiz’s hand, trying to pull him outside. But Otiz held her hand firmly.“What’s going on?” Lori was confused.“Did I leave something at your place? Why did you bring it here? Just take it to my apartment!” Lori continued.Lori was at her parents' house at the moment, but she wasn’t always there. Though she lived separately, she stayed at her parents' house whenever she was too lazy to handle any household chores, including cooking, eating, and the like.The house had servants, so Lori didn’t have to lift a finger whe

"Andreas, someone wants to talk to you, darling."In a nearly playful tone, Adela knocked on the office door. She closed it before hearing a response."Come in.""Come on." Adela gestured for Otiz to enter."Look who’s here." Adela proudly presented Otiz to her husband, who was visibly surprised."Oh...""I like this one." Adela giggled, winking at her husband."Hmm... yes. Could you leave us for a moment? You can come back later." Andreas gently dismissed her.Adela didn’t look pleased, narrowing her eyes, but she stepped back towards the door. She didn’t say anything, but her eyes clearly signaled that Andreas had better tell her everything later."Alright... alright..." Andreas agreed to the unspoken request; only then did Adela leave."I'm surprised," Andreas said as he gestured to the chair in front of his desk, inviting Otiz to sit."I'm surprised you managed to find me. You spoke wi

"You're sad." Ruby extended her hand, reaching for Ed's as he sat beside her on the sand.They were at the beach, enjoying the sunset. It had become a routine for them lately, whenever Ed was home. The sea breeze brought a refreshing feeling to Ruby, whose head easily ached."You know." Ed smiled and kissed the back of Ruby's hand. He didn’t say anything, but Ruby could feel it."It's about Otiz." Ruby wasn’t guessing; she was sure. Ed had talked about it, and so had AJ, who hadn’t stopped complaining since earlier that day. He still couldn’t accept that Otiz no longer worked for Ed."Yeah. I’ll be really busy without him." Ed sighed.He could already imagine what working without Otiz would be like. Ibanez could serve as a bodyguard, but handling desk work wouldn’t be as smooth. Ed would probably need to find someone who could replace Otiz and manage the administrative details."You wouldn’t be sad if you only needed him for work." Ruby gent

Ed smiled. "I was worried you'd be stubborn. Luckily, your love for her is strong enough to make this decision."Otiz nodded, then lowered his head. He had made his decision but still felt guilty."Sorry, I...""Nonsense. I'm the one who told you to go. Why apologize?" Ed immediately dismissed it."But I'm quitting halfway.""Did you want to see it through to the end? The end of that road might mean you're no longer alive. This is the right decision," Ed retorted."But you'll be alone. I should be looking after you." Otiz became emotional again. He still couldn’t fully let go."Come on... that job isn't yours anymore. And I won’t be alone either. Don’t exaggerate." Ed smiled and patted Otiz’s shoulder."I’ll miss you, but I’ll be thrilled to see you build a life with the woman you love. If you stayed with me and got heartbroken, I'd worry more. I don’t want to see you like that—an

“I don’t think there’s anything left to do. The police closed the case last week, and I haven’t seen any movement behind the scenes. The president seems convinced this was just an ordinary accident,” Asher said, folding his laptop shut.He had just shown Ed the official police investigation report that hadn’t been made public yet. Of course, he’d acquired it illegally.“Isn’t there any risk for Val? She met with Obrador’s house staff,” Ed asked. Val had made direct contact. She could leave a trail.“No. Val was interrogated by the police, but... I prepared some evidence.” Asher opened his laptop again and showed a video.Ed squinted, trying to make out the face in what looked like a CCTV recording. It appeared that Obrador was meeting Val. They exchanged words and then parted ways. Obrador got back into his car.The video showed a transaction before the accident, clearing

“What did you just call me?! I’m not pretending to be busy!” Liz was clearly not having it."If you're busy, why are you wasting time here? Or are you deliberately following me?” Asher teased.“Following you? For what? Don’t flatter yourself!” Liz snapped.“Well, you’re always here in the morning, just like when I’m here. What would you call that if not following?” Asher wasn’t fazed by Liz’s anger, while Liz turned redder with fury.“My boutique is right over there! You’re the one who shouldn’t be here! You have no reason to be here!” Liz pointed to a corner of the street where her boutique stood.“You’re following me!” Now Liz pointed back.“Why would I follow you? You’re not my type.” Asher sneered, eyeing Liz from head to toe.“Heh, Pig! Do you think I’d ever want you?! You’re

Liz smiled and waved at the customer who had just left her store. It was satisfying, as the customer had bought quite a few dresses and accessories, but it wasn't enough.The sales figures for the third week since her store had opened weren’t reaching what Liz had hoped for. Not big enough. She had managed to draw most of her customers from the boutique where she used to work, but not new ones. Liz couldn’t grow the boutique if there weren’t new customers.Liz got up from the cashier’s counter and stared out at the street. Many people—both tourists and locals—walked by, but not many looked at her shop.But there was nothing wrong with how it looked. Liz knew her shop was beautiful. It should have attracted buyers with pastel colors, mannequins showcasing trendy outfits, and a cozy atmosphere. But apparently, it hadn’t.Liz knew she had to be patient in order to see results, and that it would take time to grow. Liz

"Y...yes." Liz stammered slightly, only because she was surprised. She wasn't mesmerized by Asher, who remembered his sharp tongue well. But it seemed this time that sharpness wasn’t directed at her. Asher was still staring at Laura and Lana."So, what do these two dogs want? A bone?" Asher asked, further mocking them."Who do you think you are?! How dare you...""I should be the one asking who you are. You come here creating a scene and making accusations. This store only sells genuine items." Asher calmly returned control of the situation, preventing Lana from responding."I’m not lying. I was tricked. I thought it was a genuine product, but it turned out to be fake." Lana pointed at the bag she had thrown earlier."Where’s the receipt? Prove you bought it here." Asher extended his hand, asking for evidence he knew didn’t exist."It’s lost! Why would I keep something like that?!" Laura wasn’t backi

“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

"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

"‘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.“

"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

"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

"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
