Not a husband A barrage of questions
I just prevented a hand grenade from entering the cabin. It would have been disastrous if it did. These are special grenades. Capable of totally blowing up this room. I look behind to see them. Ratri is looking not too bad. She has had previous experiences with these things so it might not be too much for her. Now that I think about it, all of them have had such experiences.Both ojou-sama and Mona are daughters of Yakuza. They should be used to seeing guns and stuff. Ariel used to lead an all girls gang. I am not saying that she is used to it but she should be okay.However, my thoughts were too lukewarm and happy go lucky. They are totally not okay. Ojou-sama is shivering. I can see her moist eyes. She is on the brink of crying. Ariel is all restless. She is walking all over the place. Mona is just standing like a statue.But then she just fell on her seat. She probably lost her strength.“This is gonna get ugly. You guys should just leave.”They are clearly nearby. I think they a
Not a husband A Face-off
I leave the room. Mona, Ariel, Ratri and ojou-sama are in the room. Maybe not. They should have left already. I need to hurry as well.I rush towards the lift but it is busy. I guess mass hysteria has broken out. Everyone is leaving. As fast as they can. But I can’t see anyone. Because, I was caught by them for a while.So I take the stairs instead. I didn’t even need the lift anyway. Taking the stairs is actually faster. While climbing down the stairs, I look around. The whole hospital is empty.This feels quite eerie. But I have no time thinking about that. When I reach the front desk, it was deserted as well. And I can see the people running around.The road is blocked. Everyone is trying to run away. But was it that shocking? It’s just a single grenade. I leave the hospital and stand outside. I had forgotten that I was wearing the hospital clothes.It was distasteful. But then a police officer came to me.“Why haven’t you evacuated yet?” (Officer)“I am evacuating now.”I avoid th
Not a husband Nothing special happened
I am currently sitting with Monga. In the basement of the police booth. Why? I am having a drink with him.Earlier I broke in here. Breaking in would be a crime but this police booth was empty and I knocked first. His servant led me to him. So I am not breaking in by any means. After that we had a debate. He didn’t recognize me at first so I kinda jogged his memory a bit. Then, he ordered his men to fight. Well fighting wasn’t too hard.There were about 20 men in the room. All armed with firearms. And he sent them all at me. They encircled me and pointed there guns at me.However Monga knew this was futile. Because, I have beaten up his men before right in front of him. He knows how much of a monster am I.Calling myself a monster would be a bit too much. But you can’t change the truth. I am a monster. At least to normal humans.The moment they were about to pull the trigger, I jumped. But I didn’t want to kill others just because we two have a scuffle. So, I kicked the guy in front
Not a husband Here I am again!!!
I was hiding behind the bar counter because there was a cluster bomb. It would detonate any moment now. And it did.*Boom* I heard that and the shockwave hit me. The heat and fire emerged and everything collapsed.I don’t know what happened but when I regained consciousness, I found myself there. I am still sitting there albeit I am buried in rubble. So, the roof collapsed causing everything to fall down. Due to the rubble, the fire went out. Thank goodness. If the fire had started then I would have become a roasted human. I check Monga.He is beside me. “Monga, you okay?”I call him but it seems that he is unconscious. I see blood too. I guess, some rubble hit him.I can’t see very well because of low light. I move my hands to feel the surroundings.We barely avoided a concrete beam. But I should get up first. I try to move the rubble that was blocking me. Monga was surprisingly, not covered in rubble.After getting rid of the rubble, I grab Monga and try to stand up. But there I fe
Not a husband The doctor’s dilemma
I was taking refuge in a bunker. Our city had something like that was completely unknown to me. Many people were in the shelter with me. But after a few moments, the police opened the shelter door.“It’s okay now.” The officer said.All of us who were in the shelter, left in an orderly manner. I head straight to the hospital. Because the patients would be back as well.When I enter the hospital, it’s busy. Every patient was being taken to their rooms. There are currently no critical cases so we are fine.“Doctor…” A nurse calls me. I look at the nurse and find out who she is. Ms. Ratri has been working here for 2 years. She is good nurse. And she is in charge of Mr. Akito.“Akito has yet to return. Have you seen him?” (Ratri)“No. Did he also escape?” I didn’t see him in my shelter. Maybe he was in another shelter.“He told us to run away. I went with Ms. Kusanagi. And Ms. Kanehaya was with us.” (Ratri)They all ran away together. I had the feeling that they knew each other.“I will
Not a husband A bride to be or not!!!!
(Ariel POV)I finally managed to be together with Akito. When I brought him home, he was wet. So I changed his clothes. But I didn’t take a look. I was too embarrassed.And he woke up and had a breakfast. He didn’t seem bothered by what I did. And he even showed me his upper body. It was full of scars. All of them were horrible. Slash marks and holes, there were countless of them.What did he go through in these five years? And he left for his job. I was very happy because he said he would come back.And I left for my job as well. I worked as a department head of a certain company but today we are getting new bosses.Our company was merged with another one and we will be working for the new bosses from today. I got ready and went to my workplace.But little did I know that I would find Akito there too. He is the bosses P.E. He drove them here and is now working directly with them. So Ms. Kanehaya and Ms. Kusanagi are our bosses. I knew about both of them but why is Akito working for
Not a husband The wife’s thoughts

It was between the heads of the Kusanagi group and Kanehaya group.The venue was a hotel that Kanehaya group owns. We arrived at the venue and entered the room.And I saw him again. This time he is dressed properly like a good salaryman. It kinda suits him but his red hair messed it up.

A high school girl was sitting next to Mr. Kanehaya.He said that she’s is daughter. So both group heads are present with their heirs.

His past 2
After he was switched with Akito, his life began as the fake Akito. I remember that Masato hid a lot of things from us when we first met.And Serus said that he doesn’t remember much from his childhood. His memories were jumbled. Let’s see how his childhood went.The first year went by without any major problems. The Sakai couple didn’t notice anything wrong with Serus. However once Serus turned two, they started noticing it.He looked different from the both of them. And the seed of suspicion was sown. They kept investigating on their own until they instinctively knew that Serus wasn’t their child.And they totally changed. Serus was three years old when they started neglecting him. They didn’t feed him for days. Didn’t provide him the basic things a child of his age needs.It was heartbreaking to watch. But watching is all I can do. Because these have already occurred.The look in their eyes as they watched Serus cry for help, it was animalistic. Like they were possessed by somethin
His past
(Ariel POV)Where am I? I remember that Serus died and Seina brought his soul in a bottle. I just remember drinking his soul and everything is a blank. Did I pass out?But this doesn’t look like Seina’s house. It’s dim and cold. There are many machines around here and there’s a big glass pod in the middle of the room.Panicking won’t help much. Keeping your wits about is the right thing to do. He always used to say that he likes my wits. Even if he is gone, his soul is with me. Let’s just survey the area for now.I make my way to the glass pod. It’s lit and there’s someone inside. The cylindrical pod is full of some sort of liquid and there’s a baby inside. The baby has a cord connected to its navel like an umbilical cord. But I can’t tell if it’s a boy or a girl. I look around for more information. The monitor is showing its vital signs. From what I can tell, it’s a completely healthy baby.But there’s something off. Why would a human baby be inside of a glass pod? Even if the baby
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
