Semua Bab My Monstrous Husband.: Bab 141 - Bab 150

ELSA ELKINS' POV,A great sense of excitement washed over me as I stood at the packing lot, staring at the beautiful orphanage, a home I had missed so much.I was still lost in my excitement when someone's voice snapped me back to the present."It's nice to have you back, Mrs. Kish." I turned sharply to find the Director standing behind me, and I pulled my gaze away, slightly embarrassed.The director who had never been so nice to me was smiling from one ear to the other as he stared at me.Well, the power of status, I guess."Good morning, Mr. Director!" I greeted calmly. "I'm really sorry about my long silence."I thought it was the right thing to do, even though Leonard had told me he had already explained to him.He stretched his hands towards me as soon as he heard me."It's alright!" He beamed, eyes glinting with greed. "It's really nice to have you working with us, Mrs. Kish!"Oh, wow!I knew it all along. He had stopped referring to me by my name. I guess I'd have to learn

ELSA ELKINS' POV I couldn't dismiss the possibilities of what Richard had told me as I walked towards Leonard who had been waiting for me.I had always suspected Leonard's intentions and Richards words had only fueled it."Shall we?" He asked, smiling at me, but I felt a creeping sense of sadness and disappointment within me.I looked straight into his eyes, trying to see the real devil in him, but it seemed to be perfectly hidden in that warmth or should I say feigned warmth? Huff!I nodded, contemplating whether to believe him or not. He swiftly moved towards the passenger's seat and opened the door for me."What's wrong?" He asked after he had ignited the engine. "You seemed worried about something."I turned to find his brows furrowed in concern and I contemplated if I should ask him about it. But after a few seconds I decided against it and forced a smile on my face."Nothing." I said calmly and turned away. I didn't want to alert him or give him a hint of my suspicion, lest he

ELSA ELKINS' POV,It was twenty minutes past two o'clock A.M, I couldn't go back to sleep. I kept thinking about what Leonard and Richard had told me, and I couldn't stop wondering who was lying between them.The thought of Richard being right about Leonard filled me with a great sense of sadness and I really wished he was wrong.I turned towards my left to find Leonard sound asleep beside me; I needed a breath of fresh air.I crawled out of the bed to the kitchen, for a cup of something chilled, I really needed something to cool my mind.I was stunned to find Nanny Ruth seated beside the fireplace, seemingly lost in thought."Nanny Ruth?" She snapped out of whatever had kept her busy as I walked towards her. "What are you doing here all alone?"I saw her smile faintly at me. "Old habit!" She muttered.My brows furrowed. Does that mean she had always done that?She asked if I couldn't sleep and I told her I just had some things on my mind, then she asked me to join her.Without hesit

RICHARD YUKA'S POV,Without saying a word to me, she took to her heels. I swiftly ran after her and caught up with her in the middle of the driveway, holding her hand."Elsa, where are you..." Her head whipped towards me and her welled up eyes snapped me out of my words."Please, Richard," She said. "Let me go."I watched in surprise as tears streamed down her face and I felt my heart ache, yet I refused to let go of her hand."Elsa, I'm so sorry about that." I began to say. "I'm really sorry you're hurting."She pulled her gaze from me and shook her head causing the tears to fling off her eyes.Her shoulders shuddered and sobs broke out of her lips. I walked closer and wiped the tears of her face, then I pulled her into my arms. Unlike before, she didn't resist me, she let me hug her, soaking my shirt with her tears. Although, I felt her pain, I couldn't deny the satisfaction I derived from seed I had sown between her and Leonard.I guarded her back to the car after she had cried

RICHARD YUKA'S POVMr. Godfrey halted in his track as soon as he heard me, then he turned to face me."What do you mean by that?" He demanded, his words heavy with a shimmering anger as he shot fiery darts at me.I chuckled loudly as soon as I heard him. I knew he was only trying to remain upright in the presence of everyone.I stood up. "Come on, Mr. Godfrey," I said, shrugging."You wouldn't want me to start talking about your commitment and dedication to the growth of the company, which you've never failed to adhere to, would you?" I asked sarcastically.Mr. Godfrey's brows furrowed upon hearing my words, from the look on his face I could see the fear building in his eyes even though he was trying his best to keep his calm demeanor.But I wouldn't let him off my hook. I had found the perfect scapegoat; he gave himself freely, so I decided to make best use of him."We both know you're not as righteous as you claimed to be, so why pretend to be one now, when we can all have what we
