2024-10-29 19:42:56Ed opened the chapel door roughly. Forget about manners; he just wanted to confront Javier. Ed sighed when he found his brother kneeling with clasped hands, praying in front of the altar.
"Do you think I wouldn't know what you're doing?! Don't pretend to pray!" Ed snapped.
"Sssttt... Don't be rude, Ed. Sit down and wait until I finish," Javier replied.
"You..."
"Ssssttt..." Javier silenced Ed again and bowed his head in prayer.
Ed could only grumble angrily as he reluctantly sat down.
"Don't expect me to leave until we talk!" Ed hissed, warning that he would wait however long it took for Javier to finish praying. Javier wouldn't be able to escape by pretending to pray.
"Tsk!" Ed clicked his tongue, as there was no response from Javier anymore. He had to wait. Ed rested his chin on his hand and stared at the black robe-draped back. Even now, Ed can still remember his surprise when Javier first said he wanted to become a pastor.

"I didn't ask you to be infatuated with her directly, but just give Liz a chance first," Javier persuaded again after Ed still didn't respond."Do you like her that much?" Ed glanced at him in astonishment. This was the second time he had encountered someone defending Liz without hesitation."Yes. She's sweet. The other day I tried to help ease Liz's burden, and she refused, saying she didn't want to lie and cheat. She even reprimanded me---a pastor shouldn't lie. She's right about that." Javier seemed amused. It's amusing to recall the occasions when Liz had to remind him of his status."What exactly happened?" Ed inquired, intrigued by the exchange that prompted Javier to fiercely defend her."I couldn't get Tia Mia to listen to me, but I could ask Tita and the others to pretend, so Liz could still appear to be working. Or at least handle lighter tasks. However, Liz rejected that plan, and she continued to work as usual—just like any other servant

"It's not usual for you to eat here."Ruby turned to see who Mia was reprimanding. Javier, who had just arrived, was now sitting across from her."I wanted to eat with Ed. It's been a while since we ate together," Javier smiled, glancing at Ed, who was sitting at the end of the long table. Tita specifically asked Ruby, who usually sat anywhere, to sit at the far right end of the table, affirming her status as Ed's wife.It was a place Mia had never been assigned, but she wasn't saying much today. It was the first time Ruby had seen Mia not talk much. Usually, Mia would always mock or blame her for something during meals."When are you going back to Guadalajara?" Pedro interrupted Ed and Javier's conversation."Not your concern," Ed replied shortly, returning his attention to Javier.Ruby lowered her gaze, suddenly wanting to laugh. She found satisfaction in witnessing Pedro lament Ed's disregard for him. He then covered his embarrassment by
My BEAST HUSBAND I'm Not Afraid of Your Face
"Who?!"Ruby began to panic, then got out of bed and groped around. The light switch was quite far from the bed. There was a faint light coming in through the partially closed curtains. Ruby could see a figure crouched on the floor, but it was still dim."What do you want?" Ruby inquired, feeling a bit relieved upon finding the switch and flicking it on. The room brightened, and the strange figure was clearly startling to Ruby."Ed?" Ruby stood still for a few seconds, convincing herself that Ed really needed help. She was worried he might just be drunk. Ruby didn't want to approach Ed if he was drunk.But upon seeing Ed still hunched over with beads of sweat trickling down his neck, Ruby knew something was seriously wrong and immediately approached him."Ed? What's wrong?"As she leaned in closer, Ruby only then realized that whatever Ed was suffering from was serious. It was confirmed by the groans and short, hurried breaths."What.

"Repeat it again.""Huh?" Ruby was confused. She had already repeated herself twice, and her voice was clear enough."Repeat," Ed requested."I... am not afraid... of your face." Ruby stood up and let go of Ed's hand. The hand no longer resisted, nor did it seem like it wanted to destroy anything."I have never been afraid of your face." Without prompting, Ruby reiterated her words, sensing their impact. Ed quickly calmed down.Indeed, it had an effect, which surprised Ed as well. He didn't understand how those words eased his pain. It didn't disappear entirely because Ed still felt the pull of pain, but it no longer burned or drove him crazy."You fainted when you saw me," Ed said."Ah, that... I was surprised. I didn't know your face would... I was very surprised, and I was in pain. Nauseous and everything else. Tense, even vomited."Ruby explained that she felt embarrassed as she looked down. Earlier, Ruby didn't mind

"Leave! I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be helping here anymore. Senora Mia won't ask for this again."Tita complained desperately as she saw Ruby standing in front of the sink, washing breakfast dishes. Tita had already chased her out of the kitchen when she tried to help prepare breakfast, and apparently, it wasn't enough."Don't!" Ruby protected the plate in her hand as Tita attempted to snatch it away."Ah!" Ruby reluctantly let go while Tita sneakily tickled her waist."There!" Tita pushed Ruby away with a satisfied smirk."But what should I do?" Ruby complained. She didn't know what to do now. She had become accustomed to her routine in that house, and now she found herself perplexed. She preferred being able to work. She might not have been interested in cleaning up horse manure, but she was also not interested in simply sitting around without any tasks."How about this?" Tita shifted and handed her a tray. It held a cup of coffee and tw

"We really didn't know about this, Don Rosas. They suddenly seized the marketing territory in the west."While tapping his fingers on the table, Ed listened to the sudden report."San Diego?" Ed asked."Yes. It seems like the new DEA is really working hard." The person reporting seemed fearful."I'll take care of it later. You guys should just use another safe route. Stay away from that area. For now, use the eastern route for supplies to LA. Houston or New Mexico," Ed said."But it will be very costly. There will be expenses...""I know, but only for now. We'll raise prices later if the profit margin turns out to be small. But for now, we need a way in." Ed waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.The command should have been easy to obey, but because they were too surprised, the two standing in front of him looked at each other."What else?" Ed asked, puzzled as to why they needed to repeat themselves."Nothing. We
My BEAST HUSBAND Another Unwanted Part
"I was daydreaming," Ruby apologized to Otiz, while also apologizing to Lori for ignoring her. "I'm sorry," Ruby said."Yeah... yeah," Lori, who had been running, caught her breath and then patted Ruby's arm."You should have told me you were going out. We could have gone together," Lori said, casually linking arms with Ruby."Hm?" Ruby was clearly confused by the sudden familiarity.Lori acted as if they had been friends for years, although it was clear that Ruby wouldn't confide in her about anything. Their relationship hadn't progressed that far yet. But perhaps this was just how rich girls socialized."But at least we're meeting now. You wanted to visit that new bar, right? They say it's cool." Lori pointed across the street to the colorful building. The new day was approaching evening, but the lights on the front of the building were already on, offering a lively atmosphere inside."Oh, no. "I'm going shopping," Ruby said, pointing to a
My BEAST HUSBAND Why It's Prohibited?
Ruby should have anticipated it, but she was still surprised when Lori opened her jacket. The dress she was wearing wasn't much different from Ruby's. From the beginning, Lori had come to visit the bar.But slowly, Ruby felt grateful. Lori's appearance at least diverted some of the attention she was getting. Since she entered, Ruby has felt uncomfortable with the stares from the patrons. They didn't bother to look away politely, but instead enjoyed ogling her body. This made Ruby realize that being beautiful and sexy also had its downsides."Did you see that? They said there would always be a new DJ every week, and they promised to bring in famous DJs. So, the music here is bound to be exciting," Lori pointed towards the dimly lit stage where someone was busy setting up and spinning various equipment in front of them.Ruby saw them directly for the first time, but she knew that the music blasting into her ears was coming from those gadgets. Ruby arrived late in

“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
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
