Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 103
When we finally arrived at the hotel after our nearly 24-hour flight, we found that it had been well worth the wait. While we are there, we are going to make that hotel our home base. Because of its proximity to the shore and the opportunity to swim in salt water, Lucas recommended that we stay at this place. The site is home to one of the most renowned great hotels in Florida's state capital. Because so many people from all over the world choose to stay at this hotel, its reputation has spread far and wide throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The Micasa Grand Hotel is its proper name. At the airport, a limousine serving as the hotel's car greeted us and took us to our destination. It wasn't until that moment that I realized that Lucas was a very prominent guest in the area. At first, I was a little reluctant, but once I watched Lucas get into the car, I decided to go and did not have any hesitation about following him. I lent a hand to Emily as she brought Luke to the vehicle. Beca

Several times I tried to capture Lucas' eyes, but his eyes were shut every time I did that. As if doing that would make his fatigue decrease. When Lucas opened his eyes, I forced a wide smile. By that time, he had become devilish, as he glanced everywhere as if preventing me from gazing at him. After a while, his body slowly fell and lay on top of me, which caused me to gasp for air. Lucas even gave me the reason to have difficulty breathing because of the weight of his whole body that he put on me. "Lucas, get off me! You are too heavy! Do you want me to pass out? Get off of me. I cannot breathe, please!" I pleaded with him while rubbing and patting his back in an attempt to grab his attention.Lucas just cracked up, as he may think that I am just fooling him to get down. Instead, to attend to what I declared, he slowly kissed me on my dry lips to seal it, as if doing that would make me shut my mouth. I gasped in the air again after he removed his lips from mine. Even though he move

After watching me shut the door, Lucas automatically reached for my hand as soon as it was available. He double-checked the door of our room to see if it was already locked. We both gave a few glances to the opposite room, where our son was currently resting with Emily. After a few minutes of staring at each other, Lucas and I made our way into a hallway in a deliberate way. It wasn't until that point that I discovered how stunning the entire hotel was. As we were checked in in the VIP suite room, the surroundings were very peaceful. While heading to the elevator, we interact with a relatively small percentage of the hotel's staff members, and the rest are our fellow guests who also reside in the VIP suite."Shall we buy them food later when we go up?" I asked Lucas to break the silence that enveloped us both. "Maybe they are hungry."Gradually, Lucas looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. I know he knows who I'm talking about. I don't need to say who it is. One of his hands wrapped

When Lucas and I got up to the room, it was almost time for dawn to break. At this time, nature is at its best. The sun's golden rays already give a bright color to the clouds that can be seen outside the see-through, thick windows on the other side of the hallway. Last night, Lucas and I made the decision to hang around outside the hotel for a while and observe the world around us while we were there, just the two of us.Even though the happenings around us weren't significant and vital, they nonetheless managed to cheer us up and make us grin as if we were having a date. The redundant noise and sight of waves promote a meditative state. We feel unburdened and lighter, which positively represents our mood to be happy all through the night.In addition to that, we eat some foods that are only available in this area and nowhere else on the side of the planet. While we are also out, we can't help but stop at the stalls positioned outside the hotel to have a few glasses of liquor. At fir

Last night, I didn't realize what time I fell asleep and went to bed. The only thing that comes to mind is that I was holding onto Lucas's body while staring intensely at his face for an extended period of time. Thinking back on the first time I met him and everything that we attained together throughout the time that we had together makes me smile in secret. From the day I woke up with no recollection until the day I remembered who I really was. Looking back last night to those days made me marvel that it's already been a while. I just don't pay so much attention to that event in our lives."Hi..." I greet him in a tone that is a bit uncomfortable. The first thing that caught my attention was the large blanket that was already covering the majority of my body. My gaze wandered aimlessly inside the room until it finally settled on the bulk of Lucas body. In a while, I only barely became conscious as a result of the sounds of his continued kisses on my cheeks and lips. All I thought w

As I walked closer to the hotel entrance, I tried to widen my smile. I slowly took a stride closer to them. Lucas, Luke, and Emily were already standing near the entrance, where the grand piano is, and waiting for me. Earlier, before I came down, I called him, but he didn't answer, so I just sent a message. Still, I did not get any response from him, so I didn't expect them to get there before me. I even thought that I would be the one to wait for them. I didn't even know where they were earlier, so I did not bother to knock on Emily's door. Maybe I knew that Lucas would go to their room and tell them to prepare so we could go out and eat our lunch. "Hi, have you all been here for a while? I apologize if it took me some time to get here. How long did you wait for me?" I asked them as my eyes hurriedly glanced at Lucas.Gently, I stroked Luke on his head as he hugged me from one of my legs up to my waist. He even looked up at me to get my attention, still focused on his father, Lucas.

When we were already eating, Lucas still didn't glance and talk to me. He only nods and shakes his head when I ask him something. Lucas didn't bother to say a statement. Even though we were still eating, he instantly stood up when he finished his food and was done eating. I didn't ask where he was taking off, which was opposite to what my eyes wanted to comprehend. He paid our table bills to the cashier and immediately left the dining area without looking back at our table. I can't help but feel my stomach flips at what he did. I knew what was wrong with Lucas and where he was coming but wasn't he too childish to act this way? It's not reasonable.Oh my goodness! What should I do with you, Lucas?Without a single word, I laid down the utensils I had with me and promptly placed my two hands on my lap, rubbed them together, and then let them rest there for a while. I am aware that my lips are trembling at this very moment, but I am unable to express it to my tablemates, who are my son

My stride quickly became rushed after a short while. I couldn't even bring myself to consider where he may have been at that very moment. I just made the decision to search the entirety of this hotel while keeping in mind the possibility that I might find him. Just give me time. I am going to track you down today, Lucas Romanov. "Excuse me, Miss, have you seen a man this tall?" I couldn't stand it anymore, so I interrupted one of the hotel staff just to ask that. After gesturing to her Lucas height, she stopped walking to listen to what else I had to say, which I immediately took advantage of. "He is wearing a green short-sleeve garment with black slacks as a partner to his clothes. He looks casual in his clothes while bringing a black leather bag with him.""No, I did not see him, Madam. I apologize.""It's alright, thanks a lot. You don't have to worry. I will walk around and find him."As time passed, I spoke with a number of other staff members at the hotel, but they all provided

ANNIKA POVWho would have thought that all the ordeals Lucas and I encountered in the journey we could overcome by moving to another country?“Mom, hurry up!” Luke got my attention as I looked after them from my instance. “We must take some pictures before the increasing snowfall destroys snowmen,” he continued.My lips parted to give them a genuine smile. It almost reached my ear. My parched and cracked lips became painful due to the freezing weather in the country. The season is winter.“Yeah, I'm coming.”“Be careful, Wifey! You might fall. It's slippery!” Lucas yelled, who was there with Iris and Luke.“Instead of worrying, why don't you come here and lend me a hand? It's dangerous, right?” “You need help?”I rolled my eyes heavenwards. Does that even require to be asked? He could see that I was struggling to step closer to them. Why are the snowmen they made so far from o

The next day, I decided to visit Uncle Elias in the prison. His sentence is life imprisonment, and there is no chance of parole, but for me, that's not enough. He deserved more agonizing and severe punishment for him after knowing what he had done to Annika. He never did anything reasonable in his life anyway.“Why did you do that?!” I yelled as soon as I saw him approaching. If I could have broken his bones at this moment, I would have done it. “What's done is done, Lucas,” he answered calmly. To my ears, it sounded like he was proud. Sitting before me, I hit my hands on the table. If there were no police guard in the area, I would have already broken his neck and killed him. “There's no benefit in any regrets—”“How many more innocent girls have you robbed of a chance to live a normal life? Aren't you ashamed of what you did? You are disgusting! Most of them are minors! Didn't your body even tremble after you did that horrible thing to t

LUCAS POV I was heartbroken, and my heart seemed to break into a million pieces as I scrutinized the anguish reflected on my wife's face. I clenched my fist while I couldn't help but tighten my jaw. I was devastated as I assumed we would have no more challenging situations. But look at this: I was dumbfounded to find out that there is more. Heart-wrenching is the best way to describe my feelings towards my wife, not pity. At this moment, I really want to punch Uncle Elias face until it bleeds and see wounded pain so I can get revenge on my wife's behalf. If I can do that now, I will undoubtedly do it without regret.“Don't do anything dangerous that you will wish undone later, Lucas. Let's just let it go. That will also give us precedence over other information about us within the country. I'm embarrassed to ask you this, but I don't wish everything to get major problem of our family.”I didn't make a reply, but at the back of my mind, I wi

In two weeks of our honeymoon, Lucas and I made the most of it. We truly made the most of every moment, indulging in delicious food and intimate moments, taking some rest, and occasionally, taking a dip in the seawater to restore our bodies for long endurance. We are sole, so having intimate moments was not that tough. By reason of that, on the day that we had got to leave the place and return to reality where our two children were waiting. We didn't have anything to regret. Coming to have a vacation in this place is worthwhile and also priceless, to be accurate. It is worth the price: money, ambiance, and precious time with my husband.“Tell me honestly, Wifey, did you enjoy our two-week vacation? Or was it not enough?”I nodded in response. We are packing our things now, putting them back in the traveling bag. Tomorrow, we have an early dawn flight.”Do you want to have an extension period?”“No, this is already enough.”

So proud of myself. I gave back a cheerful and broadened smile at Lucas for his every word of acclaim. Am I mistaken in my response? I am different from other women because I have him. Why did he respond like that? Does he have a twin without me knowing? It might be as cliche as it may sound, but for me, he was the only Lucas Romanov in the world. “Am I incorrect?” I asked him and was almost about to crack up at his surprising and unimaginable reaction. “I have you, Lucas, which made me unable to be typical of another woman. Is it difficult to figure out?”“Yes, sure. You are right, Annika. I'm only only.” Lucas replied, slightly ripping off my cheeks. Despite the fact that the beginning of our love story was not significant in most people's eyes, I can only say one thing. We both felt love that was pure, even though it transpired at the wrong time with the wicked reasons behind it. Lucas and I were wounded in our cores and separated for quite a while. It taught us countless life le

Seizing for air, my eyes darted away while turning red. I'd instead stare out the car window to cover up my face. Lucas surely knows a lot of gibberish things. He kept getting on my nerves even though it was not his intention. As I spoke, my heart pounded with pressure. I felt Lucas motion to my side, probably to continue what he was doing, but I ignored him. My eyes remained outside as if he was not with me. Unhurriedly, I bit my lower lip to reduce the uncertainty that I felt. My body reacted and heated up at Lucas actions. If anyone else saw that, they might think he was out of his mind and a maniac. Lucas cannot close his pointed tongue and does not know the boundaries about speaking such things. I mentally roll my eyes. He cracked up so hard when he saw my response to what he spoke out. He was very pleased with the unexpected retort he got from me. Consistently, I ignored him. I didn't dare to look him in the eye as I learned my whole being was bewildered.“Don't worry, Annika.

As I expected, Luke's nanny Emily still resided in the mansion. Her appearance did mature but she was still the affectionate nanny of Luke. I didn't know if she knew my real identity because she always smiled at me from the day that we met and every time she made eye contact with me. To think about it, that seems impossible. My face is now reversed. I'm in my real appearance. There are no specks that once in the past five years, I pretended to be Adeline. Not unless Luke who is chatty like Iris, will tell her who I am. In that case, the reason was acceptable. “Mom, don't worry about my sister. I can take care of her too. Just enjoy your vacation with Dad. You don't need to think about us.” Luke stole my attention by expressing that as he rubbed his sister's back presumably to comfort her. “I'm a big boy now. I won't leave her alone or behind. You can depend on me right, Mommy?”“Alright Luke, thank you for your concern. I appreciate that.” I replied and

Our honeymoon vacation is organized for two weeks. At first, I did not approve when Lucas told me to decide which country I wished to go to. To be honest, I don't like to go out of the country, especially without our children so Lucas chose to have a honeymoon on one of the well-known beaches within the country. If we ever go and schedule to have a fun vacation in another country, the children must be with us. In my honest opinion, we don't require this. It's not necessary to do this after all we are already old. I believe the honeymoon is only for newly married couples who don't have children yet. And we are not counted among them. “We already have a child, Lucas. Is that still essential for us?” I appealed to him when he opened up about this concern to settle in. “Yes, that's a normal thing Annika to the couple after marriage. Even if we have a child, we can still do it. There is nothing wrong with that.” “But, we won't be required to

Adeline's parents also attended with so much excitement at our wedding. They never criticize me as a replacement for their daughter in Lucas and Luke's life. Lucas was correct. He already dealt with everything before he set a dinner with his entire family. They cannot stop saying gratitude and compliments for the greatness of my soul. At this moment, I feel like they are genuine for saying those words. They're not acting up just to please me. Unlike when I was in the shoes of Adeline, their words were full of bitterness and remorse towards me. I did not expect that their behavior would not as tough and rough as before, especially Lucas's mother. The level was diverse then.“Welcome to our family, Annika!” she exclaimed, she kissed me on both of my cheeks after hugging me.I just emphasize a slight smile. I couldn't halt my lips from trembling as I was frightened of them on the day that Lucas introduced us. Like even if Lucas told me to calm down because h
