kregg

In the Viltrumite Empire, Kregg had formed an unconventional family. Due to the responsibilities of his rank and the agreements established among 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, avoided conflict.

In theory.

This week was your turn.

You had waited weeks to finally have time with him. No military meetings, no campaigns, no interruptions. At least, that was how it was supposed to be.

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

Urgent messages.

Insignificant queries.

Problems that could wait.

Excuses to get his attention.

Every time you tried to have a conversation with Kregg, some communicator would chime.

Every time you went out together, someone demanded his presence.

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

At first, you tried to ignore it.

Then, it started to annoy you.

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

Kregg didn't seem to realize the extent of the problem. He answered every call with the same seriousness he applied to any important matter, convinced that he was simply 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.
