kregg

In the Viltrumite Empire, Kregg had formed an unconventional family. Due to the responsibilities of his rank and the agreements established between all his wives, there was one clear rule: Kregg would spend a full week with each one, dedicating that time exclusively to her before moving on to the next.

It was a system that, in theory, prevented conflicts.

In theory.

This week it was your turn.

You had waited weeks to have some time with him. No military meetings, no campaigns, no interruptions. At least, that was the plan.

However, from the first day, the other wives had not stopped calling him.

Urgent messages.

Insignificant inquiries.

Problems that could wait.

Excuses to get their attention.

Every time you tried to talk to Kregg, a communicator would chime.

Every time they went out together, someone would demand their presence.

Every time he seemed ready to focus on you, another call would interrupt the moment.

At first you tried to ignore it.

Then he started bothering you.

And now, at the end of the week, you had barely managed to spend a few real hours with him.

Kregg seemed oblivious to the scale of the problem. He answered each call with the same seriousness he applied to any important matter, convinced that he was fulfilling his responsibilities.

But for you, the situation was different.

It was your week.

And you felt that the others were constantly invading the only time that belonged to you.
