My Monstrous Husband. Chapter 34 - Defeat In The Air.
LEONARD KISH'S POV,Right in the board room were gathered members of the shareholders who had come for further deliberations regarding the ongoing project with J.K."Now that we've completed the initial stage of material procurement, we're gathered today to discuss the financing of the production phase itself," I stated, my tone firm, resolute, and unwavering, as I prepared to propel the project forward.Immediately, Sam stood up and distributed the document outlining the expenditures incurred during the procurement of materials and the proposed production costs,"Left on the fourth page of the document in your hands, you'll find a detailed estimate of the production costs and the required materials, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the project's scope and...""Leonard!" Mr. Ricardo's voice pierced through the thick silence, snapping me off my words.I turned sharply to my left, where he was seated calmly, to find the document on his desk and realized he hadn't opened it.My

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 RICARDO'S POV,Mr. Gustavo's lips parted for a fleeting second, then he burst into a loud chuckle, as he settled into the sofa beside me."Mr. Ricardo, you've never changed a bit." he said, his voice tinged with humor as he spoke with a broad smile on his face, while I waited patiently for us to begin with a small smile on my face."What can I do for you, Mr. Ricardo?" 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

LEONARD KISH'S POV,My steps were heavy with determination as I strode back to my office with Sam. With the weight of the shareholders' decision weighing heavy on me, I felt a heightened determination coursing through my veins and propelling me forward.I refused to be deterred, and not even Mr. Ricardo's staunch resistance could shake me off my goal. As far as I was concerned, his resistance had only fueled my resolution.As soon as I settled onto my armchair, I turned to Sam, whose erect posture and intent gaze conveyed his readiness. "What's the latest with Mr. Ricardo?" I asked, my voice firm and steady, bearing the weight of the situation.I knew I had to decipher the reason behind Mr. Ricardo's sudden change since it was clear he had picked sides with Richard. "Nothing much Boss. Apart from that day, he visited Mr. Yuka; they hadn't met again, except at Mr. Yuka's birthday party, which you witnessed as well." He answered, his voice firm as he spoke in a matching intensity.Hi

ELSA ELKINS' POV,After a very busy day with the children at the Orphanage - reading stories, and teaching dancing, the only thing I longed for was a beautiful escape. No sooner had I sunk into the soft embrace of my bed, feeling the weight of exhaustion gradually lift from my shoulders, than the knock on the door shattered the peaceful silence. The sudden sound was a jarring interruption to the rest I desperately needed, causing my eyes to fly open in irritation.Reluctantly, I stood up and dragged myself towards the door. As I opened the door, the sight of Leonard standing right at my doorway with a stern face made my brows crest,He was the last person I had expected to see, and I couldn't stop myself from wondering what he wanted."What do you..." I started to say, but my words were cut off as he pushed the door wide open and strode into my room with an air of confidence that made my brows furrow tightly,For the next three seconds, I struggled to comprehend what had just happene

ELSA ELKINS' POV,At that moment, I couldn't believe my ears. I poked my cheek to make sure it wasn't a dream, and yes, it wasn't. 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!" I said, gesturing towards the door, my gaze fixed intently glinting with fury

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!" He announced exuberantly, his vo

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,"You went down with a fever, and he took care of you," she continued, but I only twitched my lips and forehead in response.As far as I was concerned he caused it, and it was only courtesy that he took responsibility for his actions. But whether he chose to or not, I didn't really care, nor was I grateful in any way.I was still savoring the soup when Nanny Ruth swiftly continued, "He barely had a good night's sleep in order to monitor the room temperature and adjust it to suit your temperature." She said, snapping me out of the thoughts that had kept me busy.But her words had no effect on my heart, not even did they inflict a scratch to the wall surrounding my heart. They felt like glass against my hardened heart, shattering into pieces as soon as they met."Sounds unlike him!" I managed to say, even without paying attention to what she had just said.But Nanny Ruth's lips spread into a broad smile as she swiftly continued, "You need to see him when he came back la
My Monstrous Husband. Chapter 68 - A Wall Of Defense.
ELSA ELKINS' POV,My brows scrunched up as I gradually awoke, another day had come. Unlike before, I had lost the usual enthusiasm that had always accompanied my day.The room was shining brightly, but against my heart, which was filled with sorrow and sadness.It was a stark contrast to the gloom that had settled into the depth of my heart, and had overshadowed me. As my eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness of the day, a sharp pain pierced my head, and it banged so hard that I screwed my eyes shut, as though I was trying to shut out the pain.In that instant, the door slowly opened and Nanny Ruth walked in with a bowl of soup in her hands. "You're awake my child," She said, her voice as warm as the morning sun, but then, it lacked the efficacy to affect my heart like it had always done."Good morning Nanny Ruth!" I managed to say, my voice horse as I struggled to sit up, but as I did, a towel fell off my head which startled and surprised me.The surprise I had felt didn't las

LEONARD KISH'S POV,In that instant, something crept into my heart; a feeling I wasn't used to, and for the first time ever, I felt panicked.Determination out of nowhere surged within me, and I hurried down the stairs, my feet pounding with a fierce intensity as I rushed out to the living room,"Butler Joe!" I called, my voice ringing with a fierce determination that bounced off the walls. Immediately, his door swung open, and he dashed out of the room, stopping right in front of me like a bolt. He was panting heavily, and was trying to catch his breath."Young Master, you..." He was about to say when I swiftly interrupted him,"Where's Elsa?" I demanded, my voice firm and heavy as I stared at him. Butler Joe's mouth flew open immediately, and then he tried to say something, but nothing came out, he looked stunned. He was clearly surprised by my question, the look on his face spoke of the confusion in his heart. But then, his hesitation only fueled my growing desperation.I was r

LEONARD KISH'S POV,A renewed sense of exhaustion and weariness seeped into my bones as I arrived home later that evening.As I stood at the entrance of the mansion, scenes from earlier that day replayed in my head, and I recalled the harsh words I had said to Elsa.My brows furrowed immediately, as the weight of it all pressed heavily on my shoulders.As I pondered on it, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Well, it's her fault." But then, no matter how hard I tried to believe she was guilty, the heavy pang in my heart kept nudging at me, filling me with guilt.After struggling with myself for a while, I heaved a sigh and admitted, "I'll just try to make it up to her," Shrugging my shoulders as I tried to shove it off my mind, but the pang in my heart didn't lessen a bit, Instead, it grew heavier like a rock in the pool of my heart, even as I pondered on how to face her that evening.After about ten minutes of hesitation, I dragged myself inside and saw Nanny Ruth walking t
My Monstrous Husband. Chapter 65 - She Died.
MR YUKA LEE'S POV, I recalled how I had always beaten her like the Monster I was, all because she had always stood against me and against my dream."I wish you never told her about your intentions of going into the drug business," those words out of nowhere whispered in my head, crushing my heart further."I never wanted to tell her about it; if she hadn't confronted me... if she hadn't called me greedy and spoken ill against my mother who had introduced it to me, she probably would have been alive by now," I said out loud, replying to the voice of accusation that had risen against me.But as my thoughts and the memories lingered, I realized I was being accused, and I wasn't going to bear the blame all by myself."No! You're accusing me. I didn't tell her. She went through my stuff! Get out of my head! She shouldn't have gone through my stuff; she wouldn't have found out and confronted me about it if she hadn't," I said, as the memories from that day replayed in my head.As it linger

MR YUKA LEE'S POV,"Why must I do what you asked me to do?" Richard's response came, his eyes blazing hot with a rage that was completely new to me, but at that moment, I was already too furious to contain my wrath. "What did you just say?" I snarled as it settled in my heart that he was angry because of a woman."Are you challenging me now?" I growled, my eyes wide open in a matching intensity.The thing I hated the most was being challenged, and that was exactly what he was doing.But the words had barely left my lips when Richard firmly replied, "Or else what?" He challenged, his teeth gritted, his lips quivering.At that moment, the beast in me roared like a wounded lion, struggling to let loose, and as I tried my best to seal it in, Richard's voice came again,"Should I remain silent just like my mother did and end up like her?" He asked, his voice quivering, his lips trembling with rage, fury glinting in his eyes.His question slammed into me like ice to my surging flames, damp
My Monstrous Husband. Chapter 63 - Confrontation With His Father.
RICHARD YUKA'S POV, As soon as I left Sam, I sank heavily into the couch and filled my glass to the brim, while he sat there without uttering another word to me. I downed my drink, intending to get drunk, but no matter how many bottles I consumed, I remained sober as though I had just drank a jug of caffeine. It was something I had seen as an affliction since I was eight. I had been immune to alcohol after what happened that afternoon, which pushed me into drinking in hopes of getting drunk. At that moment, I wished I could just get drunk for a while and forget about the naggings from my father and the memories it had always left in its wake. After a while, I stood up and started walking towards the exit door, and James quickly followed. I didn't know how long I stayed out, but I stayed until I was ready enough to go back home. As we got to the car he opened the door, but I quickly stopped him. "I'll drive, go back on your own today," I said with a stern voice, and walked towa

RICHARD YUKA'S POV,"Hello!" I answered the phone, my tone cold and deep as I waited for his response,"Get back here immediately!" The angry voice of my father boomed into my ear, dripping with authority.In that instant, the dial went off ruffling my nerves. My lips twitched with a simmering fury as his words settled into my heart. My grip tightened around the phone, and my mind went blank immediately, my eyes locked in space and I seethed.My initial excitement completely disappeared and was replaced with a seething rage, and in that instant, James' voice broke into the fog that had settled around me."Boss!""Boss!!" James' voice nudged at my heart, gradually bringing me back to the present, "Boss are you okay?" He asked, his voice dripping with concern as he stared at me with furrowed brows.I turned to face him, seeing the concern etched on his face, "I am," I responded coldly, my voice tight with a surging rage, but as I stared at him, a thought crossed my mind."Was that yo

RICHARD YUKA'S POV,Although, I knew I got enchanted by her the first day I saw her, I wasn't oblivious to what I needed, and what was more important."So I wanted to kill two birds with a stone," I stated, and James' eyes widened in a mixture of surprise and confusion which made me scoff."Firstly, I wanted to check if it was true and then secondly, I wanted to drive a wedge between them if it was true!" I stated with a nonchalant air, shrugging my shoulders as I spoke, after which I took another sip.James chuckled lightly, the sound of which spoke of the disbelief in his heart as he stared at me in surprise."So, you mean you went through all that trouble just to do that?" He asked, his tone ringing with disbelief.As soon as I heard his words, I couldn't stop the scoff that escaped my lips. What does he know after all?"It's not a trouble at all, James; you just don't know anything," I replied, refusing to allow his words to downplay the effort I had put in."At least I succeeded
