The Contradiction

2024-05-16 07:00:20Ed parked his car haphazardly, then stepped out with wide strides. His unattractive face looked even more terrifying as he approached Otiz, who also seemed panicked.
"You're already here," Otiz said, looking surprised because Ed's journey duration was too short.
The shopping area wasn't as far from Ed's house, but still, the journey shouldn't have taken just an hour.
"Have you found her yet?" Ed hissed, squinting at Otiz.
"Not yet. I'm sorry. But this area gets very crowded at night," Otiz gestured around, attempting to defend himself from further wrath.
Indeed, the area was becoming increasingly crowded with both locals and tourists. Once the sun wasn't scorching, many people hit the streets, whether for a stroll or to enjoy the various street music echoing loudly. There were even a few flamenco dance performances, attracting large crowds and blocking the narrow alleys. It made it even more difficult to find someone. The area resembled a night mar

Here's the corrected version:"Wha…"Before Carlos could grasp what was happening to him, a kick landed on his cheek. Carlos screamed in pain, possibly breaking his jaw. The others, who were dancing, began to notice the commotion and backed away, revealing Carlos struggling to get up."Dammit!" Carlos cursed, but his anger subsided when he could finally see who or what caused him pain. His attacker approached with a grim face, exuding a thick aura of menace."Wait! You…" Carlos tried to rise and received assistance, but it was rough as Ed grabbed his collar and choked him again.Ed pulled him up from the ground so they could face each other. Carlos's confused expression quickly turned pale and trembling when he realized who the man standing before him was.He had never met Ed, but he had heard rumors about the Rosas family's damaged heir due to an accident. And that face is clearly before him now."You seem to like playi

“I don’t know! Really! I didn’t see when Carlos gave Liz the drugs! Believe me. I wouldn’t have let it happen if I’d seen!”Lori sobbed, spewing out words of self-defense. Of course, Lori was scared because Ed was glaring at her, demanding answers.“How could you not see?! You’re the one who took her there!” Ed shouted."I took her, but I didn't follow her around. I already told Carlos and the others not to mess with Liz! I didn’t want this to happen either.”Lori covered her face and continued crying. Their night of fun was obviously ruined. Lori had seen Ed carrying Liz out and immediately knew something was wrong, so she followed by taxi. The situation forced her to sober up quickly. Fortunately, she hadn’t drunk much.Lori was also in shock, not expecting drugs to be involved. She had only ordered a light cocktail for Liz.“Can he really not talk?!” Ed shouted at Otiz as he stared at the still-closed ER door. There were two victims in there. Liz was one, and the other was Carlos.

"Please give this to Senora Rosas when she wakes up. It will help neutralize the drug in her system." The doctor pointed to two sealed boxes of fresh milk.Ed nodded with his eyes on the nurse, who was adjusting the IV stand and tubing to ensure they weren't pressed under the patient's hand."Call me if you need anything." The doctor nodded and left. His demeanor was very formal, knowing full well that Ed was the one ensuring his paycheck every month.“Thank goodness there were no complications. All her organs are fine.” Javier, who was still there, sat and stared at Liz.The doctor explained her condition, and there was no serious harm because they found the right drug in time.Ed nodded and sat by the bed. “It seems this is the first time she’s taken a drug like this.”Ed repeated what the doctor had said. An additional factor prevented Liz's condition from worsening. Liz might have ingested too much, but her body was healthy beforehand. Because her body was relatively clean, there

“I… I had a fight with my father. So, I changed his name. That’s it… Out of anger, I changed it. I made him a stranger.” Ruby crafted an excuse in her panic. She didn’t know if it made any sense.“A fight… because of our marriage?” Ed guessed.Ruby didn’t answer. She bowed her head because it was easier. She would let Ed draw his own conclusions. She didn’t have a long enough reason to continue that lie.“Hello?”Ruby looked up, realizing Ed was answering the call. Ed didn’t feel like walking and wanted to know why Esli was calling.“What is it?” Ed asked again, because Esli was silent. Surprised to hear Ed’s voice.“Don Rosas? Is that you? I’m surprised.” Esli laughed nervously.“I just wanted to ask about Liz. I haven’t heard from her in a while.” Esli was friendly and sweet, of course.“Liz? She’s…”“DON’T… Ah!” Ruby was able to guess Esli's question from Ed's answer, and she panicked immediately. She had to stop Ed from explaining her condition. Ruby raised her hand, causing the I

Ruby couldn't even remember all that happened, let alone prepare for it. All Ruby remembered were colorful lights, loud music, and lots of people."Did you enjoy it so much that you forgot, or do you think it's so ordinary that you're confused about which man I'm talking about?" Ed sneered cynically.Ruby, still busy piecing together her memories and trying to come up with an excuse, had to lower her head again. She didn't know what to say or how to explain, because, from any angle, she was at fault. Maybe she should have been more firm in refusing when Lori invited her.However, she had to become Liz. It would have been very suspicious if she suddenly rejected that lifestyle."I remember," Ruby half-lied, because that choice was better than the explanations Ed had mentioned earlier. The decision to not know which man it was made her look very much like a slut."I didn't mean to be like this. I was just bored after being at home for so long. So... I followed Lori," Ruby said.She mana

“Why not? Didn’t you read my message?” Ed met Otiz outside the room, sounding dissatisfied because Otiz had not followed his orders.“Senor Reyes contacted me about that,” Otiz replied, gesturing to his two men to stay. They would guard the room Ed had just left. It couldn't be left unguarded.“What do you mean? What does that idiot have to do with it?” Ed didn’t understand why Mayte’s father had to get involved.“His father knows Senor Reyes and asked for his help—to save his son’s life,” Otiz explained.“Oh.” Ed was no longer surprised. Carlos is associated with Liz—part of his world. Most likely, he was a wealthy and influential person. He approached Marco Reyes to ask for help to save his son.“Where?” asked Ed. He knew Marco would definitely ask to meet.“I haven't made an appointment.” Otiz wouldn’t make an appointment without Ed’s approval.“Now. I won't delay his death.” Ed would meet Marco, but he didn’t want to change his decision. He would meet Marco out of courtesy. Even t

"That kid is just foolish. Please, he's my only child." Failing to reason, Miguel merely pleaded for mercy."My wife is also one of a kind, and your son chose to flirt with her instead of the other women there," Ed retorted, taking another sip of his drink. He glanced at Marco, who was slowly straightening up."But... but... I beg you to forgive him. It was just foolishness, an uncontrollable desire." Miguel continued to beg."I implore you not to make this a bigger issue. I understand your anger, but I don't think this needs to be resolved like this. I'm sure they were just caught up in the moment and situation; they didn't mean anything serious. The influence of alcohol and drugs can turn anything into chaos. People in that setting are prone to making mistakes."Marco finally joined in persuading, but in the wrong way. He spoke clearly and politely, but he had just accused Liz of accepting Carlos's advances—it wasn’t just Carlos's fault if they appeared to be about to kiss. Liz was a

"Forgive me!"Lori rushed in and hugged Ruby as soon as she entered the hospital room. Ruby, who was standing by the bed, could freely return the embrace now that the IV lines were no longer a hindrance. As Lori cried, Ruby hugged and patted her on the back."I had no idea Carlos would be so stupid as to give you that drug. I warned him repeatedly to be careful and not mess up when he was with you. He must be deaf, or maybe just brainless."Lori began to rant, and Ruby listened with a smile. She was no longer angry with Lori.Though Lori’s insistence had caused Ruby a lot of trouble, it was true that Lori just wanted them to have fun together. She meant no harm and was simply following what seemed appropriate for the lifestyle of rich kids. Ruby just wasn't used to it.And seeing Lori's remorse now, Ruby couldn't possibly hate her. Lori's kindness was rare; Ruby hadn't encountered it often since taking on the role of Liz. Especially after understanding what Lori had gone through—conce

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

"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
