(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.

(Mona POV)I am normal. At least most people would say that about themselves. I tried too. But I am not normal. It’s not like I am physically or mentally challenged. But my family is not normal.My father is the current head of the Kusanagi house. Our house has a long history. And aa the head’s daughter, I was expected to many things.My father only has me.

Not a husband My husband misunderstands me
(Mona POV)I met him, my husband, Akito, for the second time a day after we met again.I was attending a meeting with my father. 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. I gave a light nod and take my seat with my father.He was standing next to Kanehaya group head. I was thinking of many things when I noticed a girl. 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. But what’s up with her?She is pinching Akito and he is just tolerating it. Why doesn’t he say something?And the meeting began. My father asked him about who Akito was? But Mr. Kanehaya answered it kinda weirdly. Why does Akito have to succeed the Kanehaya group? And Akito gave a humble refusal
Not a husband My husband is abnormal
(Mona POV)We worked like normal. Akito is standing by our side. He is told to be our helper but we don’t we much help. I can deal with office work just fine.I thought Shizuka would need some help. But she seems competent enough to deal with this much paperwork.And Akito is just standing by us. I told him to take a seat but he declined.“I am your bodyguard. I have to look that part too.”He said that and is guarding us. But I can see her. The woman he talked to looking at him occasionally.I looked her up. Her name is Ariel Mathers. She is the section chief and has been working in this company for three years.A good and diligent office worker who is the same age as me. There are no problems in her records and she does her work perfectly.Her name is kinda foreign but that’s due to her half British lineage. Her father was British who decided to stay in this country. Why Akito knows her? She has been together with him since elementary school. From elementary to high school, they we
Not a husband I take it back. He is insane
(Mona POV)I am in the hospital. Sitting right by Akito’s side. His surgery is over. He will be released in a few days. By the way, Shizuka is sitting with me.We both have been coming to visit him together. After us comes Ariel. I asked Akito and he said that the three of is have been coming here every day.She even brings him lunch. Which is really not necessary but he complained saying hospital food is bland. I guess it is a bit bland because it’s for the ill.But now Akito is grinning. He is grinning with his eyes closed. Maybe he is thinking of something.“Akito, stop showing that disgusting grin. Why were you so disgustingly grinning?” (Shizuka)Shizuka gave him a sharp blow. Even I think that’s a bit too much. She likes him so much but her way of speaking is like he is her mortal enemy.“Ahh… I was just considering my remarriage.” (Akito)What did he say? He still thinks that I have divorced him. I should clear up that misunderstanding as well or he might commit a crime by marr
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

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

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.

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

The movie and vengeance
(Akito POV)Ever since I have stepped foot in India, I have been a bit dramatic. I am feeling like my emotions aren’t in control. On a sudden impulse, I came here to watch a movie. The movie is supposed to be good. I heard good things about this movie. I bought two tickets and got us some popcorn to munch on with some cola. Our seats were at a corner of the theater. The movie is about to begin.“You like this actor if I remember correctly, don’t you?” I asked Ratri. “Yes. I have been a fan of him since childhood. I find it hard to believe that he is the same age as my father.” (Ratri)“Well, he takes good care of himself. See, the movie is about to begin.” The lights were off and the movie began. Very typical for a movie opening. It took about 5 minutes just to get to a movie scene. The beginning is full of sponsor names and stuff like that.Anyway, I won’t describe the movie word for word. It’s a good movie. The story is a spy thriller. Two countries at odds with each other. One

The actual truth
(Mona POV)Everything has become complicated. Serus or whatever his name is, has totally messed up our lives. Masato said that Akito is coming here with my mother. I patiently wait for them to arrive. Ariel and Tsubasa did wake up. They started throwing a fit about wanting to see Akito. We had no choice but to make them remember. They were present when Serus revealed everything.One thing is still bothering me. Why are their memories so jumbled? They were supposed to have gone to the same elementary school. But what Serus said doesn’t match with Ariel’s memories.I guess only one way to find out. It’s usually our parents who raise us. So they remember things we forget. My mother has a lot to explain.Currently, we are all sitting in the hall room. With a grim look on her face, Ariel is silent. She has been that way ever since we made her remember what Serus said.Tsubasa is also the same. How is she so attached to Serus?I feel like nothing has changed. We still don’t know anything.

I really want to make him pay
(Mona POV)The last thing I remember is my husband saying some incomprehensible words. They exactly weren’t incomprehensible but I couldn’t make anything out of them. I had signaled others to take the initiative and capture my husband. I know that they also harbor some sort of feelings for him but he moved before us.I passed out after the white smoke hit me. Waking up, I found myself on a mattress. Ariel and Tsubasa are on my each sides. I sit up and try to assess the situation. The floor has tatami mats. It seems like the house which my husband had recently bought. “What time is it?” I asked myself expecting no one to answer it for me.“It’s evening. You were conked out for more than 5 hours.” I heard an answer. It came from behind me. I look back as well. There, I find a seated Shizuka. “What are you doing?” “Meditating. His actions made me do something that I wasn’t accustomed to do. I have to recompose my mind.” (Shizuka)She sits normally. I also sit facing her. “What e
