His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

In the restaurant, Akira glanced at the clock in the corner, ticking softly. It was twenty-one minutes past eight. Only nine minutes remained until the bomb in the Crystal Plaza exploded. She did not know if the CAB could figure out a solution in that short period. 

"As you all know, there is a high bounty on Akira," Bonnie said. "My darling Clyde and I cannot, for the life of us, figure out why you people want to kill her. I mean, look at her. She is as cute as a button. What do you think Clyde?" 

Clyde was already getting impatient because Bonnie was hogging all the airtime on Watch. He took the phone from her hand and looked at the camera. He looked and felt a little awkward with the device in his hand. 

The people on the other ends of Watch kept commenting, asking the ugly guy to leave the interface.. Even though Bonnie was not super-hot, at least she knew angles and showmanship. Moreover, most viewers were men, and they felt like their subscriptions were being wasted by an ugly man. 

Luckily, Clyde could not see the mean comments. 

"I agree with my dear Bonnie." He said stiffly like an actor on their first day on a movie set. "I think that killing a girl, not to mention it is two lives, is a little extreme. On the other hand, the bounty on her head is quite attractive, and it is good to give people what they want." 

"Therefore, I propose a little game that will allow the unkillable Akira to escape death once more. What do you think Bonnie?" Clyde asked while feeling very pleased with himself. 

"My darling Clyde, you are so good and kind." Bonnie gushed while kissing Clyde's cheeks. "What kind of game do you propose?" 

The two of them completely ignored the dark-faced Akira and Kaito. They were talking about them as if they did not exist. 

"What would be more interesting than letting the girl attempt to save the city?" Clyde asked with an evil look in his eyes. 

"Clyde…" Once again, Bonnie became uncertain. 

"Come on, Bonnie. Let us live a little." Clyde said. "It is impossible for her to decipher the bomb. I am confident that not even the Central Antiterrorism Bureau can do it." 

Bonnie still felt a little apprehensive. She did not like uncertain things. She and Clyde had worked very hard to create a majestic bomb. And if she was going to die, she wanted to see the beauty of the Crystal Plaza exploding. 

She looked through the window and saw helicopters arrive near the tower and start circling. The sight affirmed that the two of them had made the step they always wanted. However, she was worried that she would not see the sparks before she died. 

"It is not that I think that she can stop the bomb. But should we be messing with it?" Bonnie asked. 

"Honey, nothing can go wrong. Right now, there is only one way for the bomb to be stopped. They can only use the code to stop the detonator. There are only three chances to input the code, and the timer will become faster with each try." Clyde reminded Bonnie. 

"By now, those stupid officers have already realised that the bomb is motion and pressure-sensitive. They can't move the bomb without detonation. One way or the other, the bomb will explode. What is the harm in giving everyone a little hope first?" 

Bonnie saw the light. 

Hope was the greatest demon of all in the world. If people held on to a little hope, the disaster that followed would be more majestic. 

Someone had once told her the story of Pandora's box when she was in high school. She found the story fascinating and exciting because she always hoped that she would have an opportunity to release all kinds of evil on mankind. 

And she knew hope was the worst thing anyone could receive. 

Her suffering was excessive when she was younger. 

The story of Pandora inspired her and made her understand that she could become a source of pain for those who hurt her. And if she added a little hope before delivering the death blow, it made every victory all the sweeter. 

Bonnie's story was quite tragic, and she wished she could forget everything instead of remembering everything in clear detail.

*Reader discretion advised*

She lost her parents when she was just a little girl. But she was old enough to understand death and its significance. She did not know the details, but she knew she would never see her mommy and daddy again. 

However, she did not know true evil until she started living with her uncle's family. 

At the time, she was a heartbroken child without any support, but everyone told her that her relatives would take good care of her, that she would be safe. It was her first glimpse of hope after the most painful thing to happen to a little girl. 

The hope was of a new home, even though she did not have parents anymore. 

But after living in that home for a little while, another bad thing happened to her. She was too young to understand the exact details, but all she knew is that she was in a lot of pain after it happened. And the person who hurt her was the uncle who had sworn during the funeral to take care of her. 

She cried in pain and told her aunt what her uncle had done to her. But all the woman did was slap her for saying something so horrible about her uncle, who had welcomed her into their home. She told her never to speak of such things again. 

She got really sick after that, but no one took her to the hospital. 

Perhaps, her uncle was emboldened by the fact that his wife did not seem to care about his actions. He did not stop after that first time. As a result, Bonnie lived in extreme pain and fear. She could not find a moment of peace. 

Her heart became cold because it could not break anymore. 

Every time there was a glimmer of hope, it would be crashed. She had tried getting help from teachers, the school nurse and even the police. However, she did not stand a chance against her uncle and aunt as well as their children. 

Her uncle was a respected businessman, and her aunt was a nurse. When someone came to the house to check on the matter, they would say that she was throwing a tantrum. They said she lost her parents and was a pitiful child. 

Furthermore, without consent from the guardians, Bonnie could not receive a random medical examination. 

Every time she tried to get help, she would receive a beating from her aunt. 

Moreover, her cousins began to hate her because some rumours came out after Bonnie caused a lot of fuss. Most people thought it was a disgruntled orphan causing trouble. But that did not stop rumours and jokes from flying around. 

When she entered high school, she finally broke free from the bonds of that wicked family. It was at the time that one of her classmates told her about Pandora. She did not take the story as it was explained to her. 

She saw Pandora as a woman who held power in her hands. A woman who could make decisions for herself and act on them, even if it meant the destruction of the world… Bonnie swore that she would become like Pandora. 

So, she slowly worked hard and began a career as an electrical technician. She also studied methods for killing without leaving a trace. And when the time was right, she tortured and killed her uncle and aunt. She drowned them alive in a lye solution in their bathtub after letting them experience the power of electrical shock. 

In the beginning, she planned to stop there and move on with her life. However, she felt that it would be a shame not to use her earned skills. After some searching, she discovered a new world of killers for hire, and her life changed forever. 

She never desired an ordinary life after that. 

Bonnie turned the camera from Clyde with a crazy smile as she shook off the memories of her childhood. She was no longer a scared little girl, and she was not afraid to take charge of her life and death. 

"Folks, it looks like you are about to get your money's worth. In the next seven minutes, we will play a high stake game. And the star of our show is the unkillable Akira. She will have a chance to guess the code to stop our baby in Crystal Plaza." Bonnie said. 

Clyde turned the camera back to himself. "And if she fails, the Crystal Plaza will go ka-boom. After that, we will deliver the promise that you all degenerates have been looking forward to for months. We will put a bullet into her head and end the legend of the unkillable Akira." 

Akira and Kaito looked at the clowns without a change in expression. Both of them felt like they were looking at two idiots, jumping up and down. 

"To make this game a little fairer, we will give Akira a clue concerning the code. Otherwise, we might as well just stop the farce." Clyde said. "The code is a word that connects the original Bonnie and Clyde, our great selves and the Crystal Plaza during our first meeting." 

Bonnie leaned in to kiss Clyde as she remembered their first meeting. "This is an open book exam. Feel free to check your phone or call a reliable friend for help. Meanwhile, we will be dialling the police tip line for easier communication." 

"Let the game begin!" Clyde shouted with wild laughter before shooting the undamaged part of the crystal chandelier.
