“Eat. You have to eat. I won’t let you see AJ until you’ve eaten.” Lori didn’t budge and continued holding the bowl of thin porridge sprinkled with minced meat and scallions in front of Ruby’s nose.

This was her third attempt to persuade Ruby to eat. Lori had backed down twice, but not this time.

“I want to know how AJ is doing.” Ruby insisted on getting up to see AJ.

“Listen, Ruby. First, Ed might not even allow it, and second, you’re sick. Would you like to see him in this condition? AJ is also sick, and you want him to see you like this? Your fever hasn’t even gone down yet!”

Lori pressed Ruby’s forehead slightly. In addition to taking Ruby's temperature, Lori also gently pushed her back to ensure a peaceful eating experience.

“Eat. Your fever won’t go down if you don’t eat.” Lori lifted a spoonful and brought it to Ruby’s lips. Her eyes n

    “Today is much better. According to the doctor, after Senora Herrera stopped refusing to eat, her condition improved dramatically. She is not yet allowed to get out of bed, though. Still in the process of recovery,” Otiz reported in detail, without being asked.But Ed heard everything, so the report was not in vain. Ed would have ordered him to shut up if he didn't want to hear it.“Should I ask her to leave once she’s healthy enough?” Otiz asked. Because Ruby's condition had changed, he needed to update the order.But Ed had not changed. He still didn’t know what to do.“I will wait for your decision.” Otiz finally took his leave after waiting in vain.“Hey, Otiz.” When he turned around, Otiz was greeted sweetly by AJ, who had just opened her eyes.“Hello, AJ. You look fresh.” Otiz raised his hand, and AJ slapped it.“Ow! That hurt. You have such a strong h

    "Where are we going?" AJ inquired, carefully placing his hand, still connected to the IV, on the wheelchair's armrest. Ed had just picked him up and transferred him to the chair."A surprise." Ed adjusted AJ's hair, smiling."I love surprises!" AJ clapped his hands softly."Take it easy. Don't jump around. Remember what the doctor said." To prevent him from overdoing it, Ed tempered AJ's enthusiasm."Hm..." AJ muttered and nodded casually. He was worn out from hearing the rules and eager to leave his room. This was the first time he was allowed out of his room since the transplant procedure."We're going out." Ed pushed AJ's wheelchair. Their destination was not far, but a surprise awaited them in the front room, where the commotion had been four days ago."Are we going for a walk or... Oh, MOMMY!"AJ shouted, nearly making Ed lose his grip, but Ruby, quick to understand how AJ would move, immediately raised her hand, stopping him from getting down, even though she also couldn’t wait

  • My BEAST HUSBAND   Just Get Him

    “That's great! This is a fantastic opportunity!” Lori exclaimed, excitedly slapping Ruby's thigh.“What do you mean, great? Aren't you listening to me?” Ruby was annoyed. She had just explained how she was in a difficult position with Ed.Ruby felt relieved to finally meet AJ, but it was definitely unpleasant to have to see Ed every time, who was not friendly at all. Ruby hoped for sympathy, not Lori's cheerful shouts.“You're too stiff! Look at it from a different angle. Being close to Ed means he can't avoid you. You can freely woo him again! Don't you realize that?” Lori clicked her tongue in exasperation.“But I don't want to woo him!” Ruby shook her head, sighing.“Don't you want to make peace with him?” Lori frowned."Yes—at least for AJ's sake, but I'm unsure if wooing is the right approach. I don't want Ed to misunderstand and think I'm chasing him again. Ed will get frustrated and think I'm presumptuous and rude.” Ruby didn't want to complicate matters.Ed was already difficu

    "Se... Señora Lizeth?" Tita stammered, stepping back from Ruby, who had just been about to greet her. Ruby was already smiling.Upon seeing Tita's lack of warmth and even fear, Ruby knew Liz must have treated her very poorly."No, this is my mom," AJ responded, his mouth still full of omelets."What?" Tita was understandably more confused."You called her Lizeth, but this is my mom. Not Lizeth. Her name is Ruby," AJ explained smoothly."I didn't...""Simply put, she isn't Lizeth—even though she looks like her. She's Ruby. And AJ's mom. That's all," Ed muttered as he walked past Tita, heading toward AJ.Tita blinks rapidly and looks at Ruby, who is now awkwardly waving at her. Ruby would talk to her again later; maybe explain a bit to clear up any misunderstanding."Do you want something else to eat? The doctor said you can eat anything now, just not in excess," Ed said, still not looking at Ruby, only ruffling AJ's hair.

    Ruby did want to follow Lori's advice, but it was not as drastic as living under the same roof as Ed.“AJ, I won’t live in that house. Mommy will stay somewhere else.” Ruby didn’t have a plan yet, but she was considering finding a cheap homestay or Airbnb since she would be staying for months.“Why not? I’ll be there. Beast will be there too. The house is big, and there are many rooms.” AJ refused to accept her decision.“You can be there, but I can’t.” Ruby shook her head, glancing at Ed, who remained silent, his disapproval apparent in his narrowed eyes.“But why?” AJ frowned, the signs of disappointment clear on his face.“That house... it’s not our home. Mommy can’t stay in someone else’s house for a long time.” Ruby fiddled nervously with her phone on the table."But... Beast said I could stay there." AJ lowered his head, putting down h

    AJ wasn't exaggerating when he said the house was beautiful. Situated by a large lake, it had a unique charm. The soothing blue view was a stark contrast to what AJ usually saw in New York. That alone was enough to make him ecstatic.The two-story white house with a blue triangular roof was designed for relaxation, as Ruby noticed a hammock, swing, sand pit, barbecue area, and even a small tent right by the lake to ensure its residents could enjoy a variety of vacation experiences."Mommy, come here." AJ, still slightly hunched due to the wounds on his back, pulled Ruby towards the stairs."I'll carry you." Ruby extended her hand. Climbing stairs was still too much for AJ."I want a room upstairs too, but Ed said no." AJ sounded like he was complaining and hugging Ruby."That's right. You're not allowed to go up and down the stairs yet." Ruby fully agreed.AJ pouted immediately. Apparently, it didn't work. AJ must have learned that his mothe

    “What do you think I would do to her?” Ed asked again with a frown.“I’m the one asking! Why did you bring my mom into this?!” Ruby couldn’t help but panic. She could take any insult or anger from Ed, but she wouldn’t stand for anything involving her mother.“My mom doesn’t know anything about this. She’s sick and...”“Mommy, why are you upset at Beast?” AJ tugged on Ruby’s hand, looking confused.“Otiz.” Ed called out to Otiz, who immediately crouched down in front of AJ."Hey, did you know that Tita claimed to have discovered a basement? How about we go check it out now?” Otiz was coaxing.“Basement? Is it dark?” AJ was interested but still hesitant."No, but you'll find plenty of cheese." How about it?” Otis extended his hand, and AJ took it.“Let’s go.” Otis picked up AJ and quickly moved

  • My BEAST HUSBAND   I Need It

    **FIVE YEARS AGO**“K... you... why are you... What do you want?” Ruby stammered in fear, staring at the bald man sitting in front of her.Ruby had experienced many terrible things in her life, but so far, being forcibly dragged into a nightclub was the most terrifying. She was walking home from work when a hand suddenly grabbed her.“You need a little trim,” the man replied.“What?” Ruby was so shocked that she forgot her fear.“Ruby Herrera.”Ruby's eyes widened. She never told that man her full name. “How...”“I want to offer you money. You need it, don’t you?”Ruby wanted to laugh hysterically out of tension. The question sounded like a joke at an awkward time. The answer was obviously yes—everyone on this planet needs money from the moment they are born.“I will pay all your debts and cover your mother’s medical expenses, as long as you do something for me.”“How do you know?!” Ruby was astonished. Even her coworkers didn’t know much about her mother’s condition.“I... I don’t...

    “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

    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

    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

    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
