Not a husband A confrontation
(Mona POV)It has been another week. Akito will be released in two days. As usual, we are at the office. But this is the time when we leave to visit him.I look at Ariel. She is working fast. She has a big bag by her desk. That’s probably today’s lunch. She always cooks lunch for him. “How nice!! She gets to feed him everyday and Akito eats it like he misses it.” (Shizuka)Shizuka is mumbling beside me. We both work in the same cabin and sometimes she talks about the other girls around Akito.If I count then Akito has a total of 4 women including me. How can that guy be this popular?“Maybe I should learn to cook as well.”“Are you planning on stealing a march?” (Shizuka)“Eh…did I say it out loud?”I only thought of that but to say it out loud…“I knew it. You really are planning on stealing a march. I won’t let you. We will fight fair and square for him.” (Shizuka)“But I am still his wife.”“He doesn’t know it. He thinks that you divorced him. So I will steal his heart. And yet ne
Not a husband A talk about the past
(Mona POV)Akito told us to take shelter and he himself had left for somewhere. We all tried to toe him to the bed with a rope. But that didn’t work. He just broke the rope and left.I take Ariel and Shizuka and leave. I have already called my father and he sent a car for us.After getting in, we all heaved a big sigh. “What was that?” (Ariel)“Just a normal grenade thrown at Akito.” “Why would a grenade come flying at him? He is still hiding something.” (Ariel)“Maybe.” I seriously don’t know why does he feel the need to do so. But he isn’t telling us something.“Where did Ratri go?” (Shizuka)“Maybe helping the patients. She is a nurse.” That’s true. That Ratri has some idea about what is happening but she won’t tell us either.And we reached a safe place. Outside of the city bounds. But this place isn’t too nice.“This place is too far away and it’s dirty.” (Shizuka)“I know. This used to be a weapons storage but now this is just an abandoned place. It is intended to be used as
Not a husband Learning something new
(Mona POV)After some time, we left the Mathers mansion. We head back to the hospital. The commotion had died and the patients were returning to the hospital.When we enter, we found Ratri. “Where did you go?” “Helping the patients. I was in a bunker but for convenience’s sake, tell everyone that I was with you.” (Ratri)“Where is Akito?” (Ariel)“I don’t know. But I see doctor there. I’ll go ask him.” (Ratri)Ratri went to ask the doctor about Akito. We go to him as well. But Akito isn’t here.That’s when something happened. Akito came on a stretcher. He was heavily wounded. The doctor immediately sent him to the operation theater. Ratri was going in the theater and she told us to leave but we refused. Ariel is grim again and I can’t think straight. After this, I don’t know if I will see him or not. But he is getting scolded. A lot. We all sit outside the operation theater and wait.Some time later a man came. He was a black man. Normally you don’t see them here but he was limpin
Not a husband Waking up
I wake up. That’s it. Because currently all of my mental composure is at work. The amount of pain running through my body is unimaginable. I haven’t even opened my eyelids yet.Because they are so heavy. I can’t pull them up. I remember it. That time when I woke up midway through the surgery.I was fully conscious and I screamed. It was a deathly wail. But soon I fell into a deep slumber. I don’t know how many days have passed. Or has even a second passed? That’s how fuzzy my mind actually is. But laying here won’t help. Fortunately, I am conscious again. Meaning, I can focus on healing myself.Normally, it would be impossible for me to survive that attack. A normal human would have died right away. Because I was caught in a barrage of bullets.I tried to avoid getting hit in my vitals but the damage kept on piling. And I had lost way too much blood.Clinically, physiologically and even realistically my survival is impossible. Because the bullets fired at me were lead bullets. It wou
Not a husband Recollection of the past
I think you guys might be wondering why am I talking like this. It’s a chapter where I look back at my past.I cannot look at everything but I will touch on the important bits. My story which started 25 years ago is going.I was born with the name Akito Sakai. I know. It’s a really common name. My family was kind on uncommon though. My date of birth, August 8. I was born on a Tuesday.That doesn’t matter. I should begin with my parents. I really don’t want to say their names so it’s Mr and Mrs Sakai.They gave birth to me. For that, I am neither happy nor grateful to them. In the first place, I owe them nothing.There’s a saying that children owe their very existence to their parents but! It’s a big but when it’s my case. I owe them nothing. They reluctantly gave birth to me and reluctantly raised me. Giving me the bare minimum just to keep me alive. I thought they would never educate me. But they had their reputation to uphold. So they sent me to the nearest elementary school.I us
Not a husband Beginning
I open my eyes. I feel a lot better than before. I don’t know what time it is but I feel better. I can see properly. I can hear sounds. My breathing is a bit on the rough side but I will live.I try to move my head but I couldn’t. Is this a plaster? A neck plaster. So I am stuck.Because I can’t feel my body. Why? Normally the anesthetics would just put me to sleep. It would be for a short while. If you seriously want to put me to sleep then use bigger doses. Use morphine or even more dangerous stuff.I guarantee I won’t die. But this feels familiar. My whole body is paralyzed. I can see and listen. I try to speak and I can speak fine. So only my body is unresponsive.Meaning, the culprit is Mr. M. He had said before that he synthesized a special anesthetic just for me. I even tested it and the results were the same.I guess he gave some to Monga? That man had the uncanny ability of anticipation. He almost always perfectly anticipated things.He never fails to impress. So this will p
Not a husband Regroup
It has been 2 days since Mona had that conversation with me. I have recovered. I can walk now but it would still take me some time to fully recover.I am taking it easy. I have never let my body fully heal. I always patched things up and rushed out. I never cared for my body. But this time, the damage is too severe.I have accumulated a lot of stress and my body won’t do as I say. So I have to heal. It means that I get to have another full week of rest.I don’t know what happened after Mona left. Only Monga came to visit me. I asked him about the situation. He said that no one has made a move yet.The government is probably hesitant. Because two yakuza gangs have become involved in this mess. And they are rather influential.So the government could jeopardize its own credibility if they made a wrong move. The Kusanagi and the Kanehaya group have a lot of connections. From local government to the parliament, they have a lot of people in and out of the system.So it will be harder for t
Not a husband Next move

High school was the same. Then the experiment happened and I was dismissed.The project was scrapped so I should have been dead.

But my parents ran off on me.I was sold and became married. Got divorced because many things happened. And I escaped from this country because the government was hunting me.I spent five whole years traveling and sometimes working as a part time assassin. And now, I am getting a much deserved rest.
