Just Meet Her
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Liz touched the transparent divider in front of her. It wasn't made of glass, but of unbreakable plastic. It was designed to prevent incidents from happening. A desperate prisoner might shatter glass. The plastic material was for safety.
There were a few small holes in the divider to ensure that conversations could be heard in both directions. Liz sighed as the door behind the divider opened, revealing her father.
His handcuffed hands looked thinner, and his once-bulging stomach was almost flat. The hair on his face was unshaven.
“Liz? You actually came?!” Esli was very surprised. When he was called, he heard the name of his visitor, but he couldn't believe it. This was the first time Liz had visited.
Esli had been sentenced almost a month ago—he would be spending around eighty years in prison due to multiple corruption charges—so he was now allowed visitors. Liz was the first to come to see him since the verdict.

My BEAST HUSBAND Stop Worrying
"Ugh! Wait."Ruby stopped walking and sat back down, trying to catch her breath. Everything she was wearing right now was her own choice, tailored to her size, but somehow it all felt wrong—tight and uncomfortable.Ruby had hoped she would feel calm and be fine because there was nothing weighing on her heart right now, and this situation was very different from her marriage as Liz. But she still felt nauseous and terribly nervous as the day arrived."This isn’t even the first time," Ruby sighed, taking a deep breath.The small amount of food she had managed to eat while getting her makeup done now felt stuck in her throat.This wasn’t Ruby’s first time getting married—though it was the first time using her real name, so she shouldn’t be this nervous. Ruby rubbed her chest to calm her racing heart. She was really worried about messing up the wedding."Tea! How about some tea?" Lori suggested patting Tita on
My BEAST HUSBAND Daydream That Came True
"Why hasn't she appeared yet?" Ed asked Otiz, who seemed to be running towards him. Ruby was late—only ten minutes, but still late. That's why Ed had let AJ go earlier; he was too impatient to see his mother."Senora Rosas doesn't appear to be feeling well, but Tita said she's better now. She'll be here soon," Otiz replied."Is she very sick or...?""Tita said it's just nerves." Otiz reassured him."Oh? So, it’s not just me." Ed murmured, rubbing his chest, relieved that he wasn’t alone.Ed knew that this wedding had been carefully planned and should go smoothly, but it didn't ease the anxiety in his heart."You do look nervous." Otiz smiled. He was amused because Ed, who usually wore a stoic expression, couldn't hide his true feelings this time. Ed's face might look stern to most of the guests waiting, but Otiz knew that it was just extreme nerves."I need to calm down." Ed muttered, taking several deep breaths.
My BEAST HUSBAND I'm Not Wrong
“This is delicious!”AJ got exactly what Ed promised: a large chocolate fountain. Various fruits and marshmallows of different shapes surrounded it, already skewered and ready to be dipped into the thick, fragrant, sweet liquid.“Yes, but don’t bring it near your mother!” Lori sternly warned, knowing that a drop of chocolate could stain Ruby’s dress.“Yeah... yeah...” AJ mumbled and pouted, but he made sure not to approach his mother when he had chocolate after that.Lori was AJ’s weakness. She spoiled him but was also very strict when scolding him. She wasn’t afraid to make AJ cry if he was in the wrong.Ruby remembered this repeatedly and planned to invite Lori over often in the future so that AJ would learn not to be too spoiled.“Thank you,” Ruby whispered as Lori sat back down beside her.“I don’t.” Ed, who was beside Ruby, muttered. He coul
My BEAST HUSBAND I'll Accept Anything
“You dare interrupt me…”“Sorry, but I won’t stay silent when someone accuses me without reason.” Ruby smiled.Mia was stunned. Mia realized that Ruby was not the same girl who used to remain silent under her oppressive influence.“Aunt Mia, you said earlier that you wanted Ed to be happy by choosing the right woman, didn’t you? I want the same. I’ve always wanted Ed to be happy. Lacking nothing. Always. There’s nothing wrong with that intention, is there?”Mia clicked her tongue. “That’s what you say! Who will believe the words of someone like Ramos? You and your father...”“My name is Herrera, not Ramos—and now Rosas. I won’t deny who my father is, but I won’t let you lump all his children together. I’m different from Liz.” Ruby glanced around, realizing she was speaking too loudly, and then lowered her voice.“It&
My BEAST HUSBAND He'll Be Fine
"Don't." Ed reached for Ruby's phone, which was already raised in front of her face, ready to make a video call as soon as they arrived at the hotel."Just for a moment," Ruby pleaded."You were the one in a hurry to leave the house, Ruby. We just got here, and you already want to call him?" Ed was slightly amused.Ruby had been excited to leave, but during their trip—a roughly three-hour flight—her excitement dwindled and turned into worry."What if AJ throws a fit? This is different from before. We've never left him alone with someone else and stayed overnight somewhere else." The farther away she got from AJ, the more uncertain Ruby became.They were in Tulum, on the eastern coast of Mexico—the opposite side from Puerto Vallarta. It wasn’t too far because Ed had chosen a place within reach, just in case they suddenly needed to return because of AJ."Otz didn't report anything, and when I asked, he said everything w
My BEAST HUSBAND She's Difficult
“I actually don’t know.” Ed gave a wry smile, a mix of regret and resignation."When my father died, I wasn't at a stage where I wanted to learn about business matters. Javier and I grew up in a peaceful environment. We had fun however we wanted—Javier would always drag me along to have fun.” Ed smiled, knowing that it was always Javier who had the wildest ideas for their fun.“I once visited the tequila factory, and that’s all I knew. I only learned about the remaining details after my parents passed away. It was not a pleasant experience to discover this information, and it was already too late to inquire. That incident occurred shortly after our visit to Esli."Ed suddenly remembered. “We received an invitation from Esli. I met Liz, and that was the last event I attended with my parents. After that, everything…” Ed gestured with his hands to show how everything had fallen apart.It was a bit
My BEAST HUSBAND He Just Scared
"I don't want to." AJ grabbed the car door, gripping it tightly. He wouldn’t let Ruby open it."AJ, you're going to be late." Ruby didn’t scold him; she was already at the point of pleading. After battling with AJ earlier this morning, Ruby was exhausted. AJ had refused to go to school, which made no sense since he shouldn't have had a reason to hate anyone yet. It was his first day of school."AJ, we've been talking about this for a week. You have to go back to school. This isn't up for discussion. You must go." Ruby emphasized, trying to push the door on AJ’s side, but it wouldn't budge."Ed!" Ruby called out, asking Ed to unlock the front door because AJ had locked it again."Do you want me to walk you inside?" Ed offered a more peaceful approach, not wanting to force AJ to go in alone."Okay." AJ mumbled in agreement, still reluctant, but better than before. Ruby wasn’t entirely pleased. Normally, AJ didn’t need to
My BEAST HUSBAND Inviting A Problem
Ruby could still lift her head.“Just dizzy. I guess yelling so much this morning wasn't healthy,” Ruby complained. She already felt exhausted from all the drama, even though her day was far from over.Ed smiled and started the car. “You're too tense. I think it's not just AJ who's anxious about his first day of school.”“Indeed,” Ruby muttered. Of course, she was also worried about AJ's situation. Although frustrated and angry, Ruby was genuinely concerned that AJ might struggle to fit in.Ruby knew Ed chose that school because of its quality, but it was vastly different from AJ's previous school.“Relax. AJ is very sociable and friendly. He is also acquainted with some of the children who attended our wedding. They go to the same school. It won't be completely unfamiliar,” Ed reassured her.At the wedding, some guests had brought their children, who helped AJ devour the chocolate fountain. Th

“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

"‘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

"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
