We build our theories here and try to discuss them. We really don't know anything about Rika's true motives, not why Iwabuchi is so obsessed with her. Anything can happen next. It may even turn out that Akiba is Iwabuchi's "companion" and they are jointly trying to destroy Yamada's family. It may also turn out that Rika has been cheating on Soska all her life and only now it has been revealed.
Based on one of Mita's works (Scandal in Neon Tokyo), I found that Iwabuchi appeared in the same chapter as the main villain in that manga. In addition, I noticed that the structures of these manga are very similar, from which I concluded that Iwabuchi is the main villain. Based on this, I try to build my theories, relying not only on what is shown to us in the "account", but also on another work of the author.

I want to dedicate this comment to all Akiba fans. First, I want to discuss her actions in the last chapter.
I'll start with the fact that Akiba lied when she told Misato how she defined Rika's room. Look at that episode when Misato and Sosuke were standing in front of the hotel, there is light in almost all the windows. But Akiba says that the light was on only in one window. Even when Akiba talked about watching the flashing window of the room where Misato was, we see that there were more than one window with a burning light. And it's also important that in the two scenes that we were shown, the light in Rika's room is not on, only the laptop monitor lights up there. The next important point is that Misato begins to notice strange things in Akiba, or rather in her behaviour and hobbies. But for some reason, Akiba fans don't pay attention to it. It's just as strange that Akiba asks Misato to watch from the outside how she goes to catch Rika. I have a suspicion that Akiba needs to talk to Rika face to face and no one should hear this dialogue.
Next, I will move on to the previous chapters of this arc. I'll start with the fact that the original plan that was discussed at the meeting of the "Soske team" was changed by Akiba. Changing it at the last moment and without discussing it with other participants looks kind of strange. It's also strange how Akiba got into the hotel. It's also strange how she interrogated Akito and how she behaved at the meeting of the "Soske team". Or rather, she's sure she'll get Soska after the party.
And the last thing I want to remind you is all her previous oddities. 1. A photo of Soska on her phone, which she did secretly. 2. Her hobby is spying on others. 3. The ability to use and the presence of hidden cameras. 4. Her behaviour in the episode in the bar. 5. Her strange behaviour (guilt) at the end of the school trip arch.
I have an assumption that Akiba is an agent of Ricky or Iwabuchi, but I'm not sure which one yet. And now I would like to hear your excuses and thoughts on this matter.

But let's be honest with ourselves. Everything that I wrote in the comment above will not make any sense, because further the author will simply forget about what he wrote in the previous chapters. So it was with Shingo's daughter (son), so it was with Marupi's monthly earnings. Well, or it can happen like Miyabi's phone, when she didn't even realise that her phone was replaced.
I mean that the author can't write in the suspense genre, he kind of tries, but he doesn't succeed. He came up with a "fantastic" plot twist, but he didn't think of how to explain it plausibly and concisely. So I think that this can happen to Akiba, he will come up with a plot move that will shock everyone, and everyone will just forget about those plot holes that were before that.
Something like this will happen. It turns out that Akiba not only found Rika's room, but was also able to photograph it of Rika having sex with Iwabuchi. Having broken into Rika's room, Akiba will blackmail her with these photos. Well, you realise what an absurd situation I'm talking about.
In reality, it will turn out that the author fucked up and decided to feed his readers. Of course, I hope that the author will be able to fill all the gaps and plot holes, but the closer to the end there are more of them and there are no explanations for them.

Sheesh... is it really going to go there? Are they really going to have Akiba get raped and livestream it?
Only hope is satsuki taking rika hostage or gang making an entrance with cops
They probably will use sex toys on akiba first and make her cum that will probably break sousuke heart and at the moment of penetration, someone will Make an entrance Or it can be rika's sex videos on the display not akiba

Rika asks if Akiba is a virgin, and judging by Akiba's reaction, it seems like she is... So... ugh. I really don't like where this is going.
Best chapter drop in this week!!
Rika really believes in her understanstanding on Sousuke. I'm sure what she whispered to Akiba was "because he loves me so much." I'm very sure of it.
A few things I picked up from this chapter:
1. Rika doesn't want to divorce Sousuke. She even seems pretty bothered whenever Akiba brings up Shiho.You can see it because Rika always immediately cuts the conversation off when Akiba mentions Shiho. She also seems very bothered by Akiba being close to Sousuke.
2. Rika is extremely confident with her understanding on Sousuke. I'm sure if Sousuke has been acting alone this whole time. Rika's understanding on him is 100% on point. Unfortunately though, Sousuke met Akiba, and she became an unexpected variable for Rika.
3. Rika still wants to keep the marriage going, and it seems like she also knows Akiba has feelings for Sousuke. She says she's currently making preparations. And then she also says their marriage is going to keep going.
4. Rika asks whether Akiba is still a virgin, and says she'll give her a very painful punishment.
From these things, here's my speculation:
1. I think deep down in Rika heart. She does really care and love her family. But she just shows it in a roundabout way. Kind of like a tsundere. A classic tsundere line for this would be something like "It's not like I refuse, since you're the one forcing me to."
2. I think Rika's confidence is going to be a really easy weak point for the author to exploit. So it should be pretty predictable that the way the author will takes down the antagonist (Rika) is just by making sure what Rika believes doesn't actually turn out to be true.
3. I think Rika made this whole thing (the secret account) just as a temporary action and in the end she intends to go back to being the "good" wife. We could see, since the "momonga" account can't continue anymore because Mori has been lost, and if the "preparations" she mentioned are related to her pregnancy, this feels like a one-way path for Rika: she goes in (makes the secret account) > then comes out (by using her pregnancy as the exit) > and it's done (back to being the "good" wife).
4. I get the sense Rika has some kind of sensitivity around virginity and treats it as a serious punishment. Did Rika lose her virginity in the past in a painful way, or in a way she didn't want?

Chapter 91 dropped. I wished it'd go with a little more exposition, but...it was interesting.
- Chapter starts with Misato spting in the corner, with Akiba talking to Rika. They enter the room and close the door. Akiba says that help will not come to her( Rika). Akiba says it's time to break the chain, for Sousuke-san to defeat Iwabuchi and came there, where they are. Rika notices the "Sousuke-san" and teases it a bit;
- Rika( in a sarcastic tone) says she's surprised to see Akiba-sensei there. She always leaves her daughter in the other's care...but then she wonders if Shiho, her daughter, is in second place, near someone else...in a cold stare she says the person Akiba takes care the most is her( Rika)'s husband, isn't it( The Kanji used is 主人, Shujin, meaning lord, or husband. But the furigana says Sousuke-kun. It's a play of words with the meanings for both of them);
- Rika asks Akiba to give her a reaction, she's looking like a boring person. She also asks if it's OK to take after the parent of just one child and show such a strong favoritism. She feels like the other parents may not like it. Akiba-sensei is already unreliable as it is, and there're plenty of parents who aren't happy about it, either. If word got out that she( Akiba) was trying to lay a hand on what belongs to someone else...she'd be helps in utter contempt;
- Akiba counter's by saying that Rika is quite confident, even though she was so scared that she was running from Sousuke. Rika is intriguided that Akiba is saying she's scared. Akiba says that she meant exactly that, Rika is running away because she's afraid to hear the answer from Sousuke. That Rika is a coward that is afraid of being told she's getting a divorce;
- Rika repeats the statement that she's afraid of divorce. Akiba agrees again, but before talking any further, Rika bursts out laughing;
- Akiba asks what's so funny, and Rika excuses herself, by saying it was so funny that she laughed so hard, it made her stomach hurt. Rika recompose herself and says that the idea of Sousuke-kun bringing up divorce with her is simply unthinkable. Such a thing does not exist. Akiba-sensei's wish will not be fulfilled, it's impossible;
- "That person"( Sousuke) has such un uptight personality, no one can deal with him, that's why. Akiba counters by saying that the last part was just speculation from Rika's part. Rika says that she has no choice, and will let Akiba in on something, just once: Rika didn't disappear because she ran away. It was for the sake of preparation. Akiba repeats the word preparation. Rika explains that Sousuke can't divorce her. And the reason is...;
- She tells, while Akiba directly close to her. Akiba exclaims a "What the hell is this?!". Two guys appear from the door behind Rika, and catch Akiba. Rika teases Akiba by saying Iwabuchi is so worried, he asked to place people in her room, and how annoying they are;
- Rika also says that she had the chain, but it was pointless in the end, wasn't it? Akiba surprises by pulling a stun gun and paralyzing one of the guards. She says that not really pointless, as she hasn't come with such a half-hearted resolve( to be defeated so easily). She turns to the other guy and asks to le her leave, but is blindsided by Rika injecting her with a syring and asking "leave where"?;
- Akiba is surprised by the injection and asks what did Rika do. Through the door, we hear Misato being caught. Rika asks if she let Misato Outside, but says that, knowing Akiba, it probably was to call for help if something happens.But sadly, Rika saw through it;
- She asks if Akiba understands now that there was never an opening to take advantage of against Rika. "We, as a couple, will continue on together, from here on out", Rika says;
- Falling, Akiba taunts Rika about her confidence, but Rika is underestimating Sousuke-san too much, he isn't that weak. Rika is bound to suffer a painful punishment later. The adulterous woman will be abandoned, by Sousuke and Shiho;
- The only thing Akiba doesn't seem to understand is why Rika has gone to such lenghts just to not release Sousuke, to keep him at bay. Rika repeats the about the reason why...before giving Akiba a cold stare( the same she gave when informing about her pregnancy, after the school festival arc, when they met in the restaurant) and saying she won't tell her;
- Groping and feeling Akiba, she has a feeling that Akiba is a virgin. And then praises herself when having it right. Rika gives a cold smile while saying that she has a harsh punishment in store for nasty little bugs;
- Back at the venue, Sousuke and Miyabi finnaly catch Maruppi...who is near Iwabuchi. In a formal way, Iwabuchi asks if there's something Sousuke needs with the No.2 Maruppi. Sousuke thinks that means the smartphone was handed to Iwabuchi. Iwabuchi explains to Sousuke that it's OK, he was thing about thing he didn't need;
- Iwabuchi picks his mic and thanks everyone for gathering there today, but it's time for the final show;
- The chapter ends with Iwabuchi telling Sousuke that he will give him the ultimate despair.
Some minor nitpick about chapter 91 that i really enjoyed was how they treated Rika's eyes and expressions here.
But funningly, it seems that Rika's overconfidence on Sousuke not betraying her was shaken a little when Akiba talked about Divorce. Her eyes were a little more open in that little space of page. It seems that we, as the readers, were presented with at least the opening on Rika's weakness.
Moreover, 2 bodyguards, and the pregnant woman defeats the one with the stungun...with a syringe. Why were we worried about the hotels security, anyway? Satsuki entered there easily, i believe...
- When talking with Akiba, she kept her "scolding big sister" speech style, and her eyes were normal, clear, just some minor changes in expression( just like she does with Sousuke, Shiratori and Shingo);
- When trying to show a little more superiority by showing "understanding" of the situation, her eyes close, and she takes a somewhat formal approach, just like Iwabuchi( she also did it when showing Sousuke the ultrasound);
- When ascertaining dominance over the situation, her eyes become pitch-black, and she begins treating Akiba like a nuisance;
- Whe exerting full dominion over, she switches to her blurry expression with the pitch-black eyes, and treats Akiba like a bug( the same expression she used when Akiba and her met at the restaurant and the pregnancy news).

It's kinda funny how overly prepared everyone is: guys hiding in the room and on standby just in case, a syringe with sedative ready to be used, etc.
My theory last week almost make it.
1. Rika does make shocking statement
2. Rika make akiba knock
3. Misato being cought
Still wait, what Satsuki will do. I think her appearance will come soon

I don't think Akiba was so shocked by such words. I think Rika said something like this, "I've become like this because of Soska's guilt." And it was probably rape, and Soska didn't save her then... And Misato's father turned out to be the rapist...
It's not a bad chapter, but I'm so tired of the "we hear the entire conversation except when they whisper for no goddamn reason" trope... And Jerry, I mean Roadrunner, I mean Rika escapes because she manages to stick a syringe on Akiba when she was pointing a taser at her... man...
We won't be getting any exposition until the utmost climax, where Rika will deal the finishing blow on Sousuke, believing he can take her and the "true/greatest love" plan. Also, if it helps: the tankobons start with a chapter whose last number is 9, and ends with chapters whose last number is 8. The content is dosed, but purposedly sandwiched between those( 8's giving a cliffhanger, 9's giving something to look forward to). So, if you want some sort of "big revelation/ twist", you have better chances at waiting for those.
