LEONARD KISH'S POV,

As soon as I got off the phone, Sam asked, "Boss! Is anything the matter?" His words dripped with caution, his concern etched on his face as he stared at me.

The words had barely left his lips when I turned my phone to Sam and showed him the photo of Elsa and Richard, smiling cozily at each other in an eatery, and Sam's brows creased.

"Do you know where this is?" I asked, my gaze fixed intently on Sam, as I demanded an answer from him.

He scratched his head, and hesitated a little. "I think it's close to her workplace." He answered, his voice a stark contrast to his initial determination.

As soon as I heard his words, I pulled my gaze from him. "Do you know the exact location?" I asked, my jaw clenched in determination.

"Yes Boss!" He answered in a small, his tone ringing with caution.

"Judging from the surroundings, I'm certain it's Yucoco. An eatery close to her workplace that specializes in local dishes. It is said that she's a regular customer of that place and

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 76 - A Test.

    JESSICA ANNA YUKA'S POV,I smiled, not surprised by his question. Deep within me I was glad he had asked."I'm not certain about it, but there's definitely something between them," I replied, my eyes narrowing as I tried to wrap my head around what it could be. Yet, Leonard's furrowed brows didn't relax at all, and in that instant, I knew I had to grab the opportunity before me.Don't worry Leonard, you can leave it to me," I said, my voice filled with a rising determination. "I promise you, I'll find out about whatever it is, and get back to you."Deep within me, I was excited Leonard was asking for something for the first time ever, and I was determined to make good use of that opportunity.I realized it was an opportunity to get closer to his heart and I was determined to do everything I could to help him solve that puzzle. "Okay!" Leonard replied, nodding his head as he stared at me. "I trust you Jessica, and I hope to hear from you soon." I could see the hesitation in his ey

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 75 - Fallen For Her?

    LEONARD KISH'S POV,His words dropped in my heart and I began to wonder why I was really concerned about her opinion.In that instant, I realized I had been doing it for a while now, which was something I wasn't used to.The more I pondered my thoughts, the angrier I became, as I realized she was turning me into a stranger even to myself.I was still fuming over the effect she had on me when Sam's words broke into my thoughts. "Could it be you're beginning to fall in love with her?" He asked.My brows gradually smoothened, as his words settled within me. For the next three seconds, I heard the gentle thud of my heart growing loud, but my mind was as blank as a new slate.After a while, I snapped out of that unusual feeling, refusing to dwell on his words anymore, and I chuckled, the sound of which echoed the amusement I had felt from his words."How could you even say a thing like that, Sam?" I asked, peering into the rearview mirror, my tone laced with incredulity.Sam shrugged his

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 74 - Grumbling.

    LEONARD KISH'S POV,I awoke as early as five-thirty in the morning to get ready for work, and texted Sam to come earlier than usual, since I couldn't bring myself to face her when she woke up, I knew the best thing to do was to leave.She was soundly asleep by the time I left the room. I had touched her head and she didn't seem to have a fever. As soon as Sam drove out of the mansion, I felt his gaze on me, and then his voice came."It seems you didn't have a good night's sleep, Boss." He observed calmly, but I couldn't get myself to say a word to him.My mind was clouded with the thought of Elsa and the words she had said to me. After about a minute of remaining silence, I voiced out the thought that had kept me busy."Am I really a monster?" I asked Sam, my voice laced with sadness as I peered into the rearview mirror, anticipating his response.Sam's brows crinkled in surprise and his jaw dropped slightly. For about four seconds he felt lost, staring into the rearview mirror.It w

  • My Monstrous Husband.   Chapter 73 - Am I A Monster?

    LEONARD KISH'S POV,Her words dropped in my heart like a rock, and I felt a great sense of guilt surging within me. Getting into an argument with her was never intended. I had only wanted to stop her from drinking, but she wouldn't stop getting on my nerves.I had thought she was smart enough to know that excessive intake of alcohol was dangerous to her health, but she had only annoyed me and made me say words I never wanted to say. "You're nothing but a heartless demon!" Elsa continued, her voice filled with a venomous hatred. "I wish I never met a monster like you."Her eyes glinted with fury as she stared at me. The veins on her face were clearly visible as she spoke with gritted teeth, but her accusations had only ruffled my composure.A light chuckle escaped my lips, even though I wasn't amused at all.Yes, I felt hurt and my chuckle was only a weak attempt to mask the pain those words had caused me.But then, I wasn't going to let her see how hurt I was. I felt hurt every t

  • 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
