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
Another week has passed. I am totally healed. My body feels better than ever. Probably because all of the rest.I never rested. When I was in middle school, I worked my butt off. High school was the same. Then the experiment happened and I was dismissed.The project was scrapped so I should have been dead. But I was called a failure and they thought I would not say a word about it to anyone.I didn’t and no one would believe it in the first place. And then high school ended. I began working even harder. 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. I have reunited with my wife whom I thought had divorced me but she didn’t. My childhood friend who was actually in love with me.And my good friend who saved my butt in India. And even my
Not a husband Reunion and revelation
Another day has passed. I am totally fine now. But since I have nowhere to go, I am staying in the hospital. The doctor permitted it. But I am paying the room fee so I am not freeloading.I contacted Mr. M yesterday and he said that he will be here today. I know that he will be but when? He didn’t give me a time.Monga is sitting beside my bed. He is restless. Because he will also meet Mr. M after a long time. “Calm down. He will come.”“I know but the thought of meeting him again gives me the shivers.” (Monga)Monga and Mr. M don’t get along well. They once had a huge argument and it ended up becoming a fistfight. Monga is tough and strong. He was an amateur boxer in his youth. So you can say that he is fairly skilled with his fists.But Mr. M beat him to a pulp. Because Mr. M was a practitioner of Karate and a few other martial arts. So just an amateur boxer wouldn’t stand a chance against him. Mr. M taught me how to fight. Well, I couldn’t become a master but I do have to say tha
Not a husband Settling in
I have been discharged from the hospital. It has been a week already. Now all that is left is to break into my new house.And the trouble at that time was settled quite easily. It looked like a big trouble but it actually wasn’t.It went like this.I looked at Monga and Masato. We are ready to face the enemy. Ariel, Mona and Shizuka are sitting where they were.Probably because of their past and recent experiences, they have gained a resistance to this kind of situation. But what will come? Where will they come out from?“Akito, they are coming through the door.” (Monga)Monga’s statement brought me back from my thoughts. So they are coming through the front door.And the door was opened. A man entered. Dressed casually with his glasses on. But he gave off an unnatural feeling. “Subject no. 1002, Akito, we have come to retrieve you.” He said. I am stunned at his directness. He directly called me by my serial number and told me what he’s here for.“I thought you guys scraped the proj
Not a husband A run in
I just bought Masato’s house. The money has been transferred and we will get the official procedures done quickly too.I have informed them about this as well. They demanded the address from me and I gave it to them. If I hadn’t, something bad would have happened.Now then, I should go and buy a few drinks. Although, it’s just noon. I was leaving the house and I ran into a familiar face. A face I would rather not see again. Remember that one person I was avoiding alongside Mona, that’s her. She is also one my elementary school classmate. I can’t call her a friend as I never spoke to her unless necessary.But Ariel got along fine with her. And she was also in the same middle school and high school with us. She is currently a police officer with whom I flirted to get away from her.I was entering the house next door. It was a similar house to Masato’s.A lot of houses in this area are similar. A traditional Japanese house with similar features. This gave off the old and sophisticated
Not a husband Am I cursed with troubles?
It took us a while to explain everything properly? For whatever reason, Tsubasa is sitting with us in my house. Which is somewhat bothersome! Because I am totally fine with it but the ladies are kind of on edge.“Akito, brace for impact. Another trouble approaching.” (Masato)“Don’t say it. When you say it, it happens.”Whenever he predicts something bad, it really happens. I was already tired of hearing those. But what can I do?I just prepare myself and I hear the sound of doorbell.“I’ll get it.” I go to see who has come. I walk through the long hallway and open the door. It’s Monga. Je has Rachel with him.“How did you know I was here?” “Fool. You said it yourself. I am here to visit you.” (Monga)Ahh…. I told everyone that I would be with Masato. So this is the only possible place.I bring them in. “Yo! I thought you’d never come. (Masato)“I came. I heard that Akito bought this house. But why did you sell so cheap?” (Monga)“I have plenty of money. I don’t need more.” (Masato
Not a husband Let’s explain
Today we are gathered here. In this house which is currently mine. The reason even I don’t know. I was just staying at Masato’s house and bought it. Then I told Ariel, Mona and Shizuka about this house. They came soon and started questioning. But I did leave the house to prepare for the guests. In that time, my now neighbor, came to visit. She is someone I was avoiding but being neighbors, it was bound to happen at some point. I gave up and just went with the flow.Then Monga showed up with Rachel. That wasn’t the end of it and someone new came as well.I didn’t want him to stand the door so I brought him in and now we are here. Thankfully, Masato has big table which is why everyone is sitting at the table.I don’t want to announce the seating order as it would be chaotic.Now let’s focus on today’s agenda. “So Matthew, why are you here?” I ask Matthew. The young guy with a refreshing smile and a handsome face. He is Monga’s son and Rachel’s older brother. He is a bit tan but that
Not a husband A trip down the memory lane-1
I know this will sound kind of weird but I will tell my backstory first. Because, the author can’t unravel it little by little and telling it will help prevent any misunderstandings. Everyone is gathered here. All the related and unrelated people are here.So where to begin? I think and I should start from the very beginning. Of course not everyday but a summary from my past would be better. I will be the narrator.My birth was normal. I think it was normal. The earliest memories I have are of my parents. But that’s not something so memorable.My parents more or less unqualified to raise a child. Why did they decide to give birth is a mystery? Even I haven’t figured it out.It was probably when I was four, my father hit me. And not just hit, he HIT me. Imagine, a four year old being slapped at full force by an adult. It wasn’t so nice. Worse than that was that my mother was cheering him on.My mistake was that I had eaten a candy. I got that candy from someone but I can’t remember who

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
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
The vampire
(Mona POV)In the last few days, my reality has been shattered. What I knew to be real seems fake now. Ever since my not so married husband returned, my reality has changed. His connections were too unusual.He is not with me anymore. And I am having a hard time describing my feelings for him. I am not sure what I feel for him. I was told that he is an artificial human created by my mother and Masato. And he is to die in a few months. But suddenly I am being told that there exists a vampire in our country.What’s the next thing? Are they gonna tell me that aliens are real? Nessie actually exists? I am having a hard time keeping up with this crazy situation.But I focus on the current situation. Akito and his father, Mr. Sakai are visiting Masato. Masato called me, Ariel and Shizuka to his house before they arrived.We all are here. Serus, my not so married husband, had sent a letter to Akito. It’s an apology letter from him and he has requested Akito to not help Ratri. By the way, R
Family circumstances
(Mona POV)Masato suddenly got a call from his friend, Sakai who is Akito’s father and a victim of Masato. But why did he call Masato now of all times?Masato takes his phone and leaves. I think he will call him back and ask. After a minute or so he came back. “What happened? What did he say?” I ask Masato. And he isn’t looking very cheerful.“Sakai said that he and Akito are coming here.” (Masato)“Here? Now of all times? Why would he come here?” (Ariel)Ariel has a harsh tone. Maybe she doesn’t like Mr. Sakai. Well, considering what he has done to Serus, he can be called a person with questionable morals.“He didn’t elaborate on why he is coming. He said that he will explain it face to face.” (Masato)I am a bit curious. Ariel seems plainly annoyed. Tsubasa and Shizuka have disinterested faces. Half an hour later, we hear the doorbell. Masato leaves to check. “This will be the first time we are meeting him. I wonder what kind of a person he is!” I am positive that he isn’t that
Return gift
(Mona POV)Masato has left the room to search for something. Me, Ariel and Shizuka are left here. But Masato came back soon with a laptop.He boots the laptop and starts typing aggressively. Why is he clicking so fast?“What are you doing?”“Well, I should send something to Serus as well.” (Masato)“What do you have in mind?” (Shizuka)“Serus likes chocolates. I am thinking of buying him an assortment of chocolates.” (Masato)“I didn’t know he likes chocolates.” (Ariel)“Yeah. He took a liking to it when he got some during his childhood. That’s probably the only thing Sakai ever gave him. And when he became independent, he started buying chocolates on his own.” (Masato)A side of him that no one knew. Makes me wonder how much we actually knew about him.“That reminds me, you never gave him any chocolate on Valentine’s Day?” I ask Ariel. Because she has known him the longest after Masato.“I thought he didn’t like sweets. So I didn’t give him any chocolates. But I did make him somethi
