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.

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
