last update Last Updated: 2024-12-10 19:43:58

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

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 104 - A Slap.

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,Laughter from the balcony drifted into my room causing my muscles to tighten in displeasure. I knew I had to leave. I crawled out from the middle of the large bed and dragged myself out of the room. I shot one last glare at the balcony before turning away.A strong yet gentle, cool night's breeze kissed my skin as soon as I stepped out of the mansion.Sighed!"Where should I go from here?" I murmured, but the breeze kept calling me towards the garden and almost immediately, I yielded to it's allures.Deep within, I just knew I needed to go somewhere - somewhere far away from anything that had to do with Leonard.As soon as I sank into the soft white cushion in the swing, I sighed even as memories from Daniella's visit strolled before my eyes and made it watery.The thought of not attending her wedding broke my heart, and I wished I could just disappear from Leonard's dungeon forever.I was still lost in my thoughts that I didn't even hear the approaching footsteps u

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 103 - I'm Already Married.

    LEONARD KISH'S POV, Silence stretched upon us, but Jessica's gaze was poking, it held an unmistakable anticipation, accentuated by the broad smile plastered on her face. As I stared at her, I knew I had to carefully remind her not to have any wishful thoughts. "Leo!" "Leonard!!" Jessica urged, her eyes glinting with a mix of excitement. How could I possibly drench that excitement with a disappointing response? I reasoned, looking for the most unhurtful way to tell her, but before I could form the words, her voice came again. "So you have a plan to remarry, right?!" She stated with a wide smile."Aaargh!" My tightly pressed lips loosened as I adjusted in my seat and cleared my throat. "I actually haven't thought about it," I answered, my voice heavy with sincerity. Seeing the anticipation in her eyes and knowing what she wanted, I couldn't possibly hurt her feelings, not after what she had done for me. "Besides, I'm going to be married for thr

  • My Monstrous Husband.   chapter 102 - What's Your Plan

    LEONARD KISH'S POV,Jessica chuckled. "Well, a weirdo like my father," She replied, shrugging her shoulders.After about three seconds of silence, she began to speak again."Well, I can't say for certain, Leo, but I know my father would always keep his weapon very close to you, so that you'd always be cautious of your moves. I guess he wants to instill in his enemies the idea that one wrong step from them could lead to their destruction," She continued, causing my lips to part in slight amusement and surprise."Don't you think Mr. Ricardo could easily find out about her location?" I asked her, still amused by what she had just said.Jessica couldn't help but scoff in amusement. "Never Leo." She answered with a confidence that made my brows furrow in surprise."Although Mr. Ricardo might find out that she's in Campeche, her location would remain a mystery," she quickly added. "Besides, she has a lot of persons monitoring her every move, so it'd be very difficult for Mr. Ricardo to ge

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 101 - Three Years.

    LEONARD KISH'S POV,As soon as I heard her words, I almost couldn't hold back my excitement. The fact that she could come up with something got me almost jittery.I leaned closer, my gaze fixed intently on her. "Tell me about it," the words tumbled out of my lips.As soon as Jessica heard my words, the smile on her face grew. More confidently, she sat up again."He had an affair with a lady," She began to speak, twinkling her brows, but her words had left me rather confused.I couldn't grab how that would stir Mr. Ricardo's loyalty to Mr. Yuka. I knew there was something more than that.Jessica's gaze never left my face, she was reading my every response, but she kept mute as though she was waiting for me to let it out - my confusion."There must be something more to that, right?" I let it out, breaking the teasing silence that had stretched upon us, but she didn't say a word.I cleared my throat and shifted a little more comfortably on the couch, since it had to do with her father, I

    JESSICA ANNA YUKA'S POV,As soon as I finished my meeting with Marcus, I drove straight to Leonard's home late that evening.As soon as I drove to the entrance of his mansion, I found him standing outside waiting for me with a broad smile on his face."Sica!" He exclaimed, his voice booming with infectious excitement. "What are you doing here at this hour of the day?" Despite the smile on his face, I felt a sad within me. I wished he wouldn't ask me that question anymore."I've got some good news, Leo," I answered, my lips parting into a smile.I knew that with my news concerning Mr. Ricardo, he would have no choice but to let me stay as much as I wanted."Really?" He exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement as soon as he heard me. "Come in!"As soon as the door closed behind us he asked "Have you had something to eat? I could..." I wasn't there for a meal, and since I knew he wouldn't be eating with me given that it was past his dinner hour, I swiftly declined it.I just want

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,Later that afternoon, I got ready to meet Mr. Gustavo, whom Julian had told me hadn't left Divanshire.As agreed the previous day, Sam came to pick me up and in no time we were at Divanshire.As I sat with Mr. Gustavo in the lounge, I noticed he had lost his usual exuberance and vigour for life."Have you been well, Mr. Gustavo?" I asked him, my eyes fixed on him forcing a smile to my face. The sight of him looking like the shadow of himself pierced my heart, since I wasn't oblivious to the cause of his anxiety.Just like Mr. Fernando, the news about him was all over the internet. His sudden and drastic decline, along with his mysterious fall had been the talk of the day, and as I sat right there with him, I couldn't stop feeling sorry for him."How can I be well, Mrs Kish?"
