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

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 72 - Talk About The Devil!

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,"What are you doing?" Leonard's voice came from behind me, hard and firm. Although I couldn't see his face, I knew his brows were deeply furrowed."Talk of the devil!" I muttered beneath my breath. His presence alone greatly infuriated me.But I completely ignored him, and continued refilling the glass and as I was about to lift it to my mouth, Leonard snatched it from me, spilling wine everywhere. He downed the whole content at a go, and slammed the glass hard on the glass table, which really ruffled my already fraying nerves.Deep within me, I was seething, but at that moment, all I needed was some peace and quietness, i was too weak to give in to my anger. I ignored him, doing my best to keep my anger in, and as I was about to raise the bottle to my mouth, he snatched it from me, again.He tossed the bottle off the other side, sending it crashing hard against the wall, which further infuriated me.I turned swiftly towards him, ready to tell him off. His gaze was

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 71 - Heartache.

    ELSA ELKINS' POV,Later that evening, I stepped out of the room and went downstairs, I was tired of being cooped up in the room, and needed some fresh air.As soon as I walked towards the door, I heard Butler Joe's voice behind me, "Mrs. Elsa!" He called, his voice urgent. I slowly turned towards him as I felt weak all over. "What is it Butler Joe?" I inquired lifelessly"Umm..." He hesitated as though he was thinking about whether to say or not. Noticing his hesitation, I understood immediately what he was worried about.My lips twitched slightly as I tried to muster a small smile. "Don't worry Butler Joe," I replied calmly. "As you can see I'm not properly dressed to go out." The words had barely left my lips when he began to speak again. "Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Elsa, I just wanted..." He began to say but I calmly interrupted him."It's okay Butler Joe, I understand. You don't have to explain anything to me," I replied as calmly as I could, my lips spreading a little further, wh

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 70 - What Is Wrong With Him.

    JESSICA ANNA YUKA'S POV,My lips curled upwards as I relished the memories from last night's confrontation. Especially after I had realized I could use it to my advantage.That morning, I got up to prepare some Wonton soup for Richard as I had intended to have a good conversation with him. Since I had found out from Marcus that he had always frequented Elsa's workplace and with his sudden outburst after my father had spoken about her, I needed no one to tell me that he was in love with her.Since it was going to work in my favour, I was ready to join hands with him to achieve his goal. All I wanted was Leonard.I waited patiently after knocking on his door for the third time and after a while, the door finally opened. My lips stretched into a broad smile as soon as I saw him, but before I could utter a word, his voice came: "What do you want?" His voice was stern and deep, a stark contrast to the smile on my face, his brows drew together in a deep furrow, but I wasn't going to allow

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 69 - At The Verge Of Breaking.

    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

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 67 - Mix Of Emotions.

    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

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 64 - Monster.

    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
