Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 114
The next day I woke up early to prepare for the big day for our so-excited Luke to go to Disneyland to see the animals. The problem is that it was already noon, and Lucas still wasn't there to pick us up. Several times I went back and forth to our room, but he still wasn't there. There is no sign of him coming back from the place he mentioned yesterday. I tried to call his mobile number, but for some reason, I couldn't connect to the line. I can't stop myself from thinking about things that could happen to him or have happened to him. "Where is Lucas? Don't tell me he forgot that today is Luke's birthday. That is impossible." I spoke in silence and full of worries to him.I couldn't be calm anymore and was bothered when our waiting time for him reached noon. We talked about it before, and we needed to go to the place earlier, so Luke enjoyed it more. And I don't understand why Lucas is doing this thing to us. He can meet his friends tomorrow, or if not, later, right after we celebrat
Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 115
It was almost three oclock in the afternoon, and Lucas still didn't show up himself. I'm already in a panic because, in my sanity, I can visualize that some terrible thing has already transpired. I can't stop myself from overthinking stuff that hasn't even happened yet, even though I tried my very best not to think about it. I also attempted to call my parents-in-law several times to let them know what happened; fortunately, I was able to stop myself from doing that. There will certainly be more problems because of their response if I do not hold myself accountable. I already know that it will happen, and they might even blame me for this thing and say it's my fault.It's not my fault, but for some reason, I feel guilty. If it weren't for what I did, maybe he wouldn't think of leaving to meet his friends.My level of anxiety is through the roof of the hotel room, which is why I am pacing back and forth constantly in front of Emily and Luke. I was no longer able to keep my concerns and

If Emily hadn't caught my body right away, I would have fallen to the floor right after that call from Lucas. If earlier I was already weak and my knees were going to collapse, now I feel twice as much of it. If it was mild earlier and I could still handle it, now my strength is not enough to make me go into a trance. I can't get it out of my mind that I think something else happened to Lucas besides the simple reason for losing his mobile phone. My gut feeling kept telling me this right now. Nothing has been proven yet. I know he is careful with the things he possesses, especially his phone. I do believe that this is one of the most valuable things in his life. And with the thought that he also has a lot of bodyguards with him.How might Lucas lose his cellphone?That was absurd and a bit impossible to take place. Yeah, we're already there. I don't know what really happened, but something is fishy. Something doesn't match with what really happened, as Lucas stated to me."Are you oka

At that precise moment, I was going to dash out the door of the hotel to check on Lucas, but before I could do so, Lucas' bodyguard grabbed hold of me and dragged me to our room in a way that went unnoticed by people who were in the area. Who among you wouldn't be shocked if you found your husband covered in scratches and bruises when he came to you, as if he had been in some kind of accident or gotten into a fight with another person? No one will just stay still and do nothing, seeing that, right?Of course, you will be in a panic after seeing that. The first thing you should do is ask them what happened. Cause that's your only way to vent the anger that's boiling inside of you."Don't hold on to me! Let me go! Allow me to leave. I'm going to talk to my spouse. Who are you to stand in my way? What happened to him? Why does he still have so many cuts and scrapes on his body? They are not even healed, as if it just happened a few hours ago. Tell me honestly! What happened to Lucas? P

A few minutes passed, and I was still shocked while intensely looking at Lucas. Still, I couldn't move my body for a few minutes to get near him, even though I wanted to when I saw Lucas up close in front of me. Earlier, I just saw only superficial damage to his face, but now that he was only a few inches away from me, I realized that there were also traces of bruises and punches on his face.What really happened to them? I wonder.I believe it's not just a simple mess. Couldn't they have been ambushed? But who's behind it? His opponents in politics? That's too awful. If that's the reason, how come they know where he is right now? By any chance, those people and goons must be updated on his whereabouts."Lucas," it barely made it past my throat.Lucas smiled widely at me when our eyes met, as if nothing else had happened to him, as he opened his arms for the embrace. To him, everything is just a normal scene. I can't help but feel sympathy. It creeps into my every fiber and vein as I

When we returned to the hotel, Lucas insisted on preparing a magnificent cake design in a rush, even though it was already late at night. I don't know how the baker at the hotel managed to fulfill his request, but they did what Lucas asked for. It was unbelievable because the design of the cake is all about animals, or the Animal Kingdom, located at Disneyland. I know it was hard to make in a short span of time; kudos to them. Surely Luke will like it even though it's just the cake and not his real-life experiences. "We can celebrate the rest of the events tomorrow." Lucas spoke as we walked to the hallway of the hotel and brought our son's cake with two of the staff of the hotel.I don't know if Lucas was just saying that to ease my heart or to lift my heavy thoughts."Alright, if that's what you want."Even when Lucas is able to take a step on his own, he still has my full support. I had a hard time pulling myself away from him while thinking back about the event that took place e

The following morning, Lucas proceeded to wake me up early, as we had discussed the night before; nevertheless, this went against what I was expecting to happen. Lucas woke me up early, not because of that but because he ordered me to pack my things. According to him, we were leaving and heading back to the country today. This was in contrast to the plan that we had made the night before to stroll down the beachfront early in the morning with Luke. "Why?" I asked bluntly."Let's go home, Adeline. I want to go home."As I jumped out of bed in a hurry, my eyes drew further apart. I could sense the desperation in Lucas's voice. I was sure I must have been dreaming the whole thing. But when I saw Lucas sitting on the edge of the bed and staring up at me with dreamy eyes, I knew something was off. It dawned on me that I was not in dreamland, as I had previously believed. Actually, Lucas was having a conversation with me about it."Huh? What do you mean, Lucas?""Come on, Adeline. Hurry up

Upon arriving at the airport, I was even more nervous for some reason. I'm constantly looking around because I think there are people secretly watching us that we don't pay attention to and are just buying some time and the opportunity to do us harm. Whatever happened earlier didn't disappear and leave my mind until we got on the plane. I know Lucas notices me but chooses not to say anything. When we got inside and sat inside the plane, only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you okay? Why are you acting like that? I've noticed you've been restless for a while now." Lucas asked one after the other, unable to stop himself now from inquiring about me.Automatically, I shook my head to hide it. I don't want to give him anything else to think about besides the problem at his hand. It will be an additional burden for him, for sure. It's okay for me to think about it and panic. Nothing, Lucas; just ignore my presence.""Why? Is that about what happened and our haste to return to th

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
