Not a husband Prologue
“I am here.” Standing in front of a tall building, our protagonist exclaims. His looks are average. His build is average.But currently he is tired. He sighs heavily. Because, he is standing in front of his wife's office.It's not like I really wanted to get married. But, I was forced into this. My family had taken a huge debt from a mafia. And I had to work to the bones to be able to pay the monthly interest.Then, one day, the mafia wanted the money back in full.My parents were startled at that. I worked even harder than before. But I couldn't meet the deadline.I was taken into custody. And then I found out that I was sold. My parents actually sold me to the mafia. Pretty common, right? This situation was really common if it was a manga or a novel.Why do I have to suffer? And another big bomb was waiting for me. I was about to be married to the daughter of the mafia boss.She was the same age as me. But after that, my life became a living hell. So much that I had to act to save m

I am standing outside of my wife’s office. Hello, I am the main character of this story.I will introduce myself later. Let’s begin the story. I was thrown out. I was abandoned. And yet, here I am.After all these years, I am back. Although I am not back for any particular reason.I am here to check things out. Thinking this, I take the first step into the building.But call it a stroke of bad luck or coincidence, I got a leg cramp.I fall down right there. At the very door of the building, I fall down due to a leg cramp.It hurts. My muscles feel like they are tearing apart.I can’t move my leg. But even after seeing me like that, no one came to help. I guess nothing has changed.I am still the failure I was. At least to them. I would like to say that I have improved or more like, I wasn’t incompetent to begin with.That was just an act. But even so, they treated me way too harshly.I move to the side to recover. The pain subsided and after five minutes, I could stand again.“Let’s d
Not a husband Mayhem
The talk with father was refreshing. I remembered some things. Some good memories and some bad ones.But still, it was fun. I hadn’t met him in a long time. But he is still the same as ever.Though I have to say that age is taking its toll on him.I am sitting on a bench outside of the office building. Technically I am still in front of the office.But the day is nice. I thought, why not?And here I am. Sitting lazily on a bench. Completely occupying it.I was about to doze off. But someone was calling me.“Hey…hey….” I was being shaken. I look up. I see a girl. About 14 to 15. Wearing a school uniform, she was shaking me.“Yeah, what is it?” I say, with a dry tone. I was about to nod off but she woke me up.“Can you help me?” She said and pointed at the tree behind me.I look at it. I see that a kitten is on the branch.I guess she wants me to get it off the branch.“The kitten?” I ask her while pointing at the kitten.*Nod nod* She nodded.I get up and pull up my sleeves. I climb th
Not a husband Reminiscence and rescue
I am stuck. The robbers have completely surrounded us. We are the hostages. The bank had just opened.Not many people are present. I look around. I think including the bank staff about 20 people are here.The robbers have weapons. And judging from their looks, they are trained. They are well coordinated and they work efficiently.Their weapons are also modern. Only a well-off mafia or some kind of shady organization can pull this kind of stunt.Again, they could be from the military. Excommunicated or kicked out, they seem to be seething with hunger.Hunger for money. After being kicked out, I went all around the world. Getting to know people and gaining experience.From the look in their eyes, they are starved. They are hungry for money and women.They are checking out the female employees. Any moment now, they might drag one of them to a different to have a little fun.I can hear the police from the outside. But they are not interested in the police.Working like it was nothing, they
Not a husband Awkward
I saw someone I really don’t want to see. Fortunately that person hasn’t realized that I am here.When that person was tidying up the robbers, I tried to run away.Not run but slip away. But I am caught. The police outside are questioning the victims.“Are you alright?” One officer asks me.“Yeah.” I said that in a lighthearted tone. I really wasn’t that scared anyway. But I really have to run away.And even if that person sees me, they probably won’t recognize me.I am ashamed of myself for saying this but it is better if she doesn’t see me.That person or rather she should not see me. She finally fulfilled her dream of becoming a policewoman. I don’t wanna disturb her.The officer who was asking me questions was done. So I prepare myself to turn on my heels.But then came someone blocking my path. It is her.I try to stay calm and maintain a stance where I don’t know her.“Have we met somewhere?” She asks me. She has become even sharper than before. I need to be extra careful.“No.
Not a husband Meeting the wife

I get away from the bank robbery but then encountered my childhood friend.Somehow I ran away from her and decided to have a peaceful meal and leave this city.But the worst was still to come, I guess?!!I sigh. Not really but in my mind. It is a long and depressing sigh.Because, I am currently sharing my table with my ex-wife.Why? I scream in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Did I do something wrong or is someone plotting against me?I hold my head and become even more depressed.But I hadn’t noticed something, yet.My ex-wife is staring at me. Really carefully looking as if appraising me.But I don’t think, she will recognize me. She never had an interest in me. We seldom talked even though we were married.So I don’t have worry about her recognizing me.I just have pull this off somehow.I breathe and calm down.I have yet to introduce myself, right?
Not a husband Another trouble follows
I left the diner a while ago. It has been more than an hour. You must be thinking that I am currently sitting in the train.Wrong. I should have boarded the train normally and left. NORMALLY!!!!!But, when I reached the station, the train was already there. I pass through the ticket counter and head to the train.However, that never happened. When I was about to step my foot into the train, I felt an impact.Someone hit me from behind and I pass out.It’s a blank. I don’t know what happened after that.Now I am here. Sitting in an abandoned garage. Pretty generic. It’s one of those abductions. I am abducted.But I don’t see the perpetrator. Who did that to me?I think I know who it is. But now, I have nothing to do. My hands and feet are tied together. How did they do it?They tied my hands and passed the rope through my legs to tie them as well and then made the final knot on my back.I can’t move. Even sitting is actually hurting me. This is definitely a sadist. Pretty good at bondag

A nightmare
What I am currently doing is something many would dream of. I am sleeping on Anais’s lap. It’s an experience that may never come again. Which is why I am thoroughly savoring this moment. This sensation, the feeling, I am burning these in my mind.Well, it would have been even more enjoyable if I wasn’t seeing the souls of the dead.I can clearly see the souls of the dead. Worst of all, I recognize all of them. During my time as a cleaner, I had to take out a lot of trash. They really were trash. I didn’t hesitate to get rid of them and now, they are in my face.“Get up, you freak!” One of them grabs me by the collar and drags me down. What’s interesting is that I fell down. But I didn’t feel any pain. And Anais disappeared. So, it is a dream. But her lap felt so real! I get up and look at the ghost. He was a small time drug dealer whom I took out in Egypt. Monga was the contractor. He bore ill will towards Monga and his family. I took him and his team out.It wasn’t anything speci
Results of the curse
Anais put his head down on the bed and stood up. He looks like he is in a lot of pain.“What’s happening to him?” (Anais)“I guess he just got his punishment. Hmm…from the looks of it, it’s a curse. Eastern curses are hard to understand. But I think he is being haunted by a lot of souls. I’d say staying away from him would be the wise choice.” (Shankar)Anais ponders for a moment.“Is he in any immediate danger?” (Anais)“No. The curse itself won’t kill him. However he can die if his mind gives up. We should observe him for now. Besides, someone who specializes in curses is coming here soon.” (Shankar)“Do you mean that Ratri girl?” (Anais)“Yeah. She comes from a priest family. This man sure is well connected.” (Shankar)Anais and Shankar look at the sleeping Serus. His face is slightly contorted due to the curse manifesting in his dreams.On the other hand, Seina is explaining things to Mona and others. “Serus is not only being targeted in this world, he is a major target for the ou
Sinister punishment
As I climb the stairs, it hits me. The pain is slowly spreading throughout my body. It didn’t hit me immediately but it’s there. So, I just have a delayed pain response. Still, that initial pain was only intense for a second. Now it’s a dull pain flowing through my body.I took the stairs to check my condition after that fall. Can I function normally or will I be unable to move afterwards? So far, the pain is the only thing that’s bothering me.Soon I reached the 20th floor and walk in the hallway. But the pain is clouding my consciousness. It’s intense.I was standing on my feet but I think I was unconscious. Because I have no idea how I entered the flat. When I came to, I was sitting on a sofa. I look around to check. Anais is sitting right next to me. She probably cried a bit. Her eyes are red and slightly swollen.“Anais, were you crying?”“I was. You made me cry, again.” (Anais)She seems upset. I guess it’s only normal.“Sorry. I just had to test it out.” “Who tests it out lik
Meeting the savior
I was waiting to meet my savior while Anais is sticking close to me. I mean, why is she so close to me?“Anais, can you explain how your grandfather started working with a Japanese terrorist?” “That’s simple. After Akito busted them, the leader ran away. He went to Europe to get more help. However no one helped him. Because the Akito they knew was you.” (Anais)“It really was just a name problem. I was known as Akito so no one wanted to help him. And, what happened?”“The word of that man reached my grandfather. We knew who the real Akito was and who you were. So we teamed up with him to catch you. It took us a while to convince him that there were two Akitos.” (Anais)“Then you came to India where I was and abducted me. Did you send a word of my abduction to Akito?” “Yes. I think everyone knows by this time that you have been abducted. And this is a very simple plan so they have probably guessed as well what was happening.” (Anais)That’s true. So they won’t be coming. That’s a rel
The pact with the witch
Where am I? I open my eyes to check. It’s dark and I can’t see. I am lying on something soft and something soft is touching me. The pain is still coursing through my body.I try to move myself but something is grabbing me tightly. There’s a tickling sensation on my neck.The soft sound of breathing, this softness, it’s a woman.What’s the last thing I remember? I had just broken free and was very weak. Anais suggested something ridiculous and that’s it. I don’t remember anything after that.“Anais, wake up.” I call her name to wake her up. But her grip got tighter. She’s gotten stronger. “Anais, wake up. You are strangling me.” I try to tap my hands to wake her up. “A…”Her grip loosened and she sat up, rubbing her eyes.“You woke up…” (Anais)She is still a bit drowsy but she seems to have woken up.“Yeah. Where are we?” “I asked one of your followers to shelter us. He arranged this place for us and transported us here. Then you were treated. I have to say, you are something els
Someone, kill me!
Being crucified like this isn’t a bad thing. The pain is almost gone. But I won’t heal like this either. It’s been two days. They didn’t feed me or gave me water.I wonder if they really want to kill me. Then I would suggest crushing my heart or head. Those would instantly kill me. If they want to torture me and slowly kill me, I would suggest letting me bleed.My bleeding would most probably stop before it’s fatal so they will have to try a little harder if they want to go that route.My mouth hasn’t been gagged. But I have no one to talk to.I have been thinking about this situation. The conclusion I came to is very simple. That Japanese dude wants Akito. So he abducted me. Maybe to lure him here.The French wanted me. So they cooperated with each other. How did they find out who I was? Or am I overthinking it? Maybe they abducted me knowing I am Akito. Because I have used his name for 25 years of my life. Or more like my whole life. I can’t be sure. So I can only wait. Am I even i
He is unbelievable
(Mona POV)The self proclaimed vampire Seina gave us an explanation. His explanation was a bit hard to follow since I prefer to think logically. It took me a few moments to truly understand what he was saying.“Anyway, as long as Serus doesn’t do anything, he should be fine.” (Seina)I was about to ask him something but someone got a message on their phone.It turned out to be Mr. Sakai. He looked at his phone and suddenly dropped his phone.“What happened, dad?” (Akito)He couldn’t say anything. He just kept pointing at his phone. When Akito picked it up, his face distorted. What did he see?“What is the matter, Akito?” (Masato)“It seems that Serus is in trouble.” (Akito)How can that guy be in trouble? Didn’t he escape from the troubles?“What happened?” (Masato)Akito passed the phone to Masato. But he didn’t let me or other girls see.“This is serious. At this rate, Serus will die before he will normally die.” (Masato)What’s happening? How can Serus be in life threatening situati
Abducted once again
A week has passed since Frank made contact with me. I have sent my package to Masato and I have already requested Akito to not help Ratri.I know that she is trying to save me. But there’s no saving me. I am beyond redemption. I have my death planned out. It will be a Viking style death. I will sit on a raft and set sail and then light that raft on fire.My remains would be too damaged to be analyzed. That way, I won’t have to worry about me being cloned.I am sitting in my room. Ratri is helping Ma with cooking. Papa is busy in his office. This house has a lot of people living here. The members of the group all live here. I have no shortage of people. I have been playing chess and cards. But I do play video games as well. It’s really fun. It has been a while since I was able to play video games.I remember my time in France. After leaving Africa, we made our way to England. It wasn’t a bad country. But I have to say that food wasn’t exactly stellar. So we made our way to France with
