“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...
My BEAST HUSBAND I Still Wanna Know
Ed opened the pill bottle given to him by Diego; there were a few left. He hadn't taken any since arriving in New York. That medication only alleviated his facial pain, which had now disappeared.Diego hadn't been prescribed any depression or other medication for the past few months. According to him, Ed's condition had improved. As Ed became less concerned about Liz, his condition improved.“Wrong… all wrong.” Ed muttered. He didn't blame Diego. He acted and drew conclusions based on the situation Ed described. The story was wrong, so of course, the conclusions were wrong.Ed poured all the remaining pills into the wine he had been drinking. There was still half a glass left. All the pills sank, not dissolving immediately, but they couldn't be consumed anymore.Ed didn't want to take them anymore. Enough was enough. He shouldn't need them anymore.Ed sat back down and stared at the stairs. He just stared, as he still didn't know what to do to calm his heart.Ed stood up after daydrea
My BEAST HUSBAND It's You
Ed lowered his cup, twirling his finger on the rim. He chose his words carefully, not wanting to admit his silly thoughts."I used to only like coffee. It was bitter, sour, and fragrant, and I thought it was enough. However, someone made tea for me. I wasn't interested, but I tried it, and it turned out—it wasn't bad. A calmer fragrance, a milder bitterness... I liked it too."After hearing all that explanation, Ruby couldn't understand why Ed would always mention tea while they were together."You... tea is you. You are like tea! That's why I chose tea leaves for that phone!" Ed finally explained the situation clearly, as Ruby was still unable to understand."Oh... Ooo... I see." Ruby nodded, wondering why Ed had to explain it in such a roundabout way. He could have just said it simply.Ruby's cheeks slowly turned red. That answer made her blush. The tea, which had been a mystery, turned out to be simple. However, it didn't leave a simple fe
My BEAST HUSBAND Yes or No?
“I’m just asking. Am I not allowed to know? This is AJ's future," Ruby said, not unafraid of Ed's anger, but they needed to discuss this issue.“You are allowed, and you already know the answer. AJ will come with me. I have the right…”“Don’t I have the right? I am his mother.” Ruby did not want Ed to forget that she had bet her life for AJ.“I know. So what do you want? AJ is also my child. Do you want to deprive me of that right again? Do you want to keep him from returning? Am I not worthy to be with him?”Resistance without anger. What Ed said was roughly the same as what he had shouted the other rainy day—when Ed had driven Ruby away. But the tone was very different. There were no shouts or curses.While looking Ruby directly in the eyes, Ed stated the facts. Ed was not demanding, but asking for what was rightfully his. There was nothing wrong with either of them.The co
My BEAST HUSBAND Is He My Father?
"How about you live in New York?" Ruby asked again. She was brave, as Ed had not shown any anger since earlier.There was laughter, but only for a moment. Ed fell silent after realizing Ruby was not joking."Oh, you're serious?" Ed thought Ruby was making a joke."Yes." Ruby knew the chance of Ed agreeing was only a fraction of a percent, but it was worth a try."You know who the Rosas are, right?" Ed wanted to make sure. If Ruby didn't understand, he would provide clarification."Yes. I know."Ruby knew why Ed was called ‘Don’ and not ‘Señor’ like the others. The title Don was very rarely used because it referred to nobility. The title was special because Ed had power that 'normal' people did not have."I can't leave them. They are my family. I have to be there."It was the exact answer Ruby had imagined, and she knew it would be nearly impossible to change. The Rosas family had been there for decades; she knew Ed's departure would not be simple."What makes you hesitate?" Ed asked.
My BEAST HUSBAND You're My Father Right?
Ruby looked around. "Ed?" She panicked and sought help. Ruby had no idea what to say.“I’ll call Don Rosas if you need him.” Otiz quickly suggested.“YES! Yes, now!” Ruby didn’t even try to answer AJ. She avoided his gaze.“Mommy…”“We'll find him. Beast… I mean… he… We will find him.”Ruby was completely distraught and could only stammer as she continued walking, holding AJ's hand. She followed Otiz, who finally found Ed.“He's over there.” The entrance was near a museum corner, which Otiz pointed to.Ed was talking to someone, making Ruby blink twice. She could only see the profile, but she knew that the man's handsomeness was above average. His eyes were so blue, they looked artificial.“Who…”Otiz shook his head with an apologetic smile. “I can’t tell you that.”Ruby didn’t press further, but she understood that Ed was likely handling something related to his work.Ruby reached for AJ's hand again, but AJ pulled away.“Let's call Beast.” AJ ran off.“Wait!” Ruby chased after him,
My BEAST HUSBAND Yes, That's Right
"Really!" Otiz shook his head convincingly.Ed clicked his tongue and glanced at Ruby, who was already pale. It was clear that Ruby had no idea how to respond. Ed himself didn't know how to explain, but he didn't avoid the situation.Ed gently pulled AJ aside so he wasn't blocking the way, then squatted down in front of him."When did you hear this?" Ed asked."Yesterday. Tita was talking to Otiz." AJ pointed with full certainty.Ed glanced again, and this time Otiz looked down in regret. He remembered now. He had indeed chatted with Tita, but he didn't expect AJ to understand and overhear. They were quite a distance away, and the conversation should have been too complicated for AJ to follow."Let's go to the triceratops section first." Ed held AJ's hand, trying to divert his attention. He hoped that AJ would forget later."What did you say?" As she followed Otiz, Ruby hissed."Tita asked if you two were going to get back toge
My BEAST HUSBAND Why Now?
Ed heard the door open and saw Ruby coming out of AJ's room. Ruby usually put AJ to bed, said goodnight, read stories, and other things. But she had never stayed for hours like tonight."AJ couldn't sleep?" Ed asked, putting down his drink.Ruby just sighed and sat on the floor near the low table Ed used for his drink, leaning against it."AJ was asking a lot of tough questions," Ruby muttered."Here." Ed handed her another glass filled with wine. Ruby looked like she needed it."I'm not sure this is a good idea." Ruby accepted the glass anyway. It had been a long time since she drank alcohol. But maybe she needed it now. Her neck felt stiff from the day's tension."I'm not sure this is a good idea either." Ed repeated. He had only started drinking wine recently, so his tolerance for alcohol might have changed.Previously, Ed had avoided it because he knew that mixing Diego's medication with alcohol was fatal. After his wedding day, E

“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
