My Monstrous Husband. Chapter 31 - Determined.
JESSICA ANNA YUKA'S POV,My fist clenched tightly as I watched Leonard and Elsa glide across the dance floor together, their laughter and whispers fueling my growing anger. Seeing them so carefree and intimate sparked a fierce rage within me, making my heartbeat accelerate in a fit of shimmering anger.Elsa had not only ruined my evening and hopes of connecting with Leonard, but had also flipped the script; he not only introduced her to everyone but also established her position as his wife.I knew I couldn't take it anymore so I had to leave, and just when I had managed to dampen my flames, I heard Richard's question, which ignited a new wave of anger within me.I couldn't comprehend why everyone was talking about Elsa. From the expression on his face, and the urgency ringing in his voice, I could tell something was wrong, and I couldn't stop myself from wondering what it could be.A spark of determination ignited in me as I determined to uncover whatever it was, 'Maybe I could lay

I was ecstatic about the day ahead; I was going to resume my job that day and I couldn't wait to get it rolling.I got to Leonard's door, and as soon as I stood right in front of his black huge door, I realized it was the first time I was standing there despite living together for a while, Just as I was about to knock on Leonard's door, a sudden pang of hesitation halted my hand in mid-air. I froze, envisioning Leonard's reaction and the expression I would see when he opened the door.With the argument from last night still fresh in my memory, the anger that flashed in his eyes as he dragged me to the car lingering in my mind, I felt a heightened sense of hesitation wash over me, but then, I knew I had to face him. I drew in a quick breath, steadying myself, as I shoved my fear behind,'The worst he'd do is not to respond,' I shrugged my shoulders as I voiced out

ELSA ELKINS POV,My smile broadened upon hearing his words, "That was nothing, Mr. Gustavo," I replied in a tone matching his, finally finding my voice."We've never had the opportunity to properly express our gratitude, my wife and I will make sure to do so soon," Mr. Gustavo said with a warm smile on his face."There's no need for that, Mr. Gustavo," I replied quickly, trying to downplay the situation. "Besides, I didn't get hurt," I added, "Thank you for the renovation, Mr. Gustavo. It means a lot to us." I said, keeping my tone low and respectful, careful not to cross any boundaries."I'll be on my way now, Miss Elsa. See you next time." He said calmly, with that, he left with his daughter.The day came to an end and I decided to go to my parent's home to pick up my lesson notes, photo frames, and some of the things I'll be needing, and as soon as I got into my room, the door suddenly opened, "Elsa, you're here!" My mother exclaimed, rushing over to the table where I stood. My l

Mr. RICARDO'S POV,My smile varnished as soon as I stepped out of the hall. Although Leonard had tried his best to keep the buyer under wrap, despite my deliberate effort to get him to say who he was.Deep within me, I couldn't shake off the feeling that his meeting with Mr. Gustavo of Avo's World the other day, had something to do with it, and since he had deliberately shielded whoever it was from me, I was going to take my chances.My mind reeled with countless thoughts as I strode towards my car, and as soon as I slammed the door behind me, I said to Bobby, who was already seated in the driver's seat, "Contact Gustavo. I need to see him now." "Okay, Boss!" Bobby answered, swiping through his official phone like a robot.He put a call across to Mr. Gustavo and handed the phone over to me after Mr. Gustavo had received it. I had just placed the phone in my ears when Mr. Gustavo's voice boomed in, "Mr. Ricardo!" He exclaimed, his enthusiasm palpable,"What a pleasant surprise to rec

Mr. Gustavo finally asked, his tone tinged with genuine curiosity, which sparked a low, rumbling chuckle from me.Since I had not visited to beat around the bush, I went straight to my purpose. "What do you think about procuring furniture products from our company?" I asked, my smile never leaving my face.Although I wasn't certain he was the one Leonard had contacted, I threw my question at him, which was an attempt to confirm my suspicion.Just as I had suspected, Mr. Gustavo couldn't contain his excitement, "Oh! I've seen the designs, they are great, and suit the standard of my rooms," his response rang out with e

ELSA ELKINS' POV,Right at the Orphanage, my initial exuberance was beginning to resurface, since I had shoved every thought about Leonard aside.As I reached for the door handle, Julian's unmistakable voice rang out behind me, making my eyebrows rise in surprise,"Miss Elsa!" She called, her shrill tone slicing through the air. I hadn't expected to see her there, especially since she was supposed to be in school.I turned sharply, and my eyes widened as Julian hurtled towards me, her pigtails bouncing with each step. She stopped right in front of me, beaming with an uncontainable joy that caused my lips to spread apart in smile."Julian!" I exclaimed, "How're you?""I'm fine, Miss Elsa!" Julian chirped, her voice bubbling with excitement, as she gazed up at me.Since she wasn't in school, I feigned seriousness as I attempted to know the reason she had skipped going to school."Why aren't you in school?

ELSA ELKINS' POV,As soon as I was done, I hurried downstairs, towards the kitchen, and upon getting to the living room, I met Nanny Ruth, whose face was radiant with smiles, "Good morning, Nanny Ruth!" I greeted her, sharing in her warmth. After exchanging warm pleasantries, Nanny Ruth said gently, "It seems Leonard brought you breakfast." Warmth glinting in her eyes as she stared at me.I shrugged. After Leonard's attitude last night and his coldness that I was used to, I wasn't about to be swayed by that single gesture, no matter how thoughtful it seemed. "Well, he did," I answered, my voice as flat as my expression. "But there's nothing more to it," I added calmly.Nanny Ruth's eyes softened, and her gaze turned inward as my words sank into her. Her smile, although still present, whispered a gentle concern."I heard the both of you arguing last night," She began softly,"But I want you to know that Leonard is a good kid and not as bad as you think," she said calmly, her words ec

ELSA ELKINS' POV,The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling window had been pulled back, allowing the ray to fall on my face that morning.I squinted and blocked the ray with my palm. The brightness of the day made my lips spread into smiles. I sat up, my eyes half-closed as I stretched my limbs, feeling a renewed sense of energy coursing through me.Suddenly, my eyes flung wide open, and I snapped off my grogginess. My smile varnished as memories of the night before, came flooding my mind. In that instant, I felt my blood begin to boil as a renewed sense of anger - like blood, coursed through my veins.My head whipped around the room, my eyes blazing with determination as I searched for Leonard,But instead of finding him, my gaze fell on series of closed doors, and my brows furrowed.Just as I was about to leap out of bed to search for Leonard, the entrance door swung open, and Leonard strolled in with a broad smile on his face."Good morning Mrs Kish!"

It was real, Leonard was standing right inside my room, giving me an absurd instruction."Leonard, are you okay?" I questioned, my sharp voice dripping with disbelief. "Does it look like am not?" Leonard's response came immediately, and for the next five seconds, I tried to find the words to describe how unreasonable he sounded, but I couldn't find any, which left my mouth hanging open in total bewilderment.My blood boiled with a mix of anger and frustration, while I tapped my head repeatedly, as I tried to put a peg around my surging anger.But Leonard wasn't perturbed a bit, instead, he let out a snort of amusement, even though I was on the verge of breaking,Ten seconds passed, but he stood rooted on his spot, and at that moment, I knew I couldn't take it anymore."Get out!"
