Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 125
After hearing her say that, I quickly ended the call by hanging up. If I hadn't caught my hand on the doorknob because I was surprised, I would have gone tumbling to the ground and possibly broken some of the bones in my limbs. My physical body seems to be losing strength and becoming lighter, as if all of my blood were leaking out of the nerves in my body. Because Adeline called me out of the blue and it was completely unexpected, I have no idea what my response will be.She seems hard to believe, especially since, back then, she treated Lucas and Luke as if they had no value or importance in her life. I don't understand what made her mind change. For sure, she had a reason behind it, as it was impossible that there was nothing and suddenly she was like this.Money? Does she need a huge amount of money?I want to protest and oppose her statement. I want to say that she can't do that to me now that I already accept everything. She can't do it now that I've already learned to appreciat

Despite the fact that his words of concern impacted me deeply, I couldn't help but feel terrified. In spite of that, I am very well aware that Lucas wasn't fed up at all. The moment he shared such knowledge with me, I was already on the edge of breaking down even more and more loudly. Not because I was moved by what he said, but because of all of the challenges I am currently facing in my life. It appears to be difficult and burdensome to settle. Lucas is completely unaware of what I was able to overcome. He had no idea of the fact that his wife was the cause of my current struggle and that it was making it difficult for me to breathe."You must take care of yourself, Adeline. What if you accidentally bumped your head? You'll forget about your son and me again. It's hard and sad to see it happen again, as it was a new adjustment. It would be nice if your old memories would come back if that happened, but what if not? What if the result of what happened to you was worse? We will go bac

Lucas and I didn't have a dinner date outside the mansion as we planned that night because I still couldn't calm down even after almost an hour passed after Adeline called me. I feel like I still have her voice in my head and keep hearing it. That thing made me even sadder for some reason. "It's alright, Adeline. You don't need to force yourself to go out. We can reschedule it. You don't have to feel guilty, either. It's okay, honey. We still have plenty of time for that."The last thing Lucas said made me even sadder. I don't know if I can still do it with him. Can we still have a chance to go out by ourselves? When? I know Adeline too; she surely won't stop until she gets what she wants. Of course, I'm the loser here, so how can I fight for them? How can I fight for my rights for things at first that I knew weren't mine? And even if I fight, will I win in the end? Of course, I am not, right? She is the real wife between us. What do I have against her? Nothing.I just nodded to him

In order to cover up the sadness and embarrassment that had so rudely engulfed my whole body at that time, I closed my eyes tightly to hide it from Lucas. I don't want him to see my tears fall again and make him more concerned. I can't stop my lips from trembling at the thought of Lucas finding the truth behind all of this mess. I am not yet ready to explain again. A terrible fear still immerses me, no matter how hard I try to hide it from Lucas. After a while, I felt one of Lucas' palms touching my jaw as if he were tracing my jawline down to my inlet. It went up again and ended next to my chin. He holds it still, as if he wants me to see his reaction and facial expression presently.The proximity of his face to mine allowed me to detect the warmth of his breath on my skin even before he was striving to breathe it in. When I opened my eyes, which were still a little bit wet from weeping, Lucas greeted me with a calm kiss on my lips, using his soft lips that had a taste of the glass o

The following morning, before Lucas left for work, he was successful in retrieving my cell phone and returning it to me in working order, as if nothing had happened to it. I don't understand how he was able to complete the task in such a short amount of time that it was already fixed and finished when I woke up. I've already expressed my gratitude to him numerous times, yet all he does in response is give me an affectionate hug."Honey, I have to leave for work right away because I'm already late if I do not leave right now." Lucas declared as his eyes shifted to his wristwatch. "Are you going to wait for me to get home later? We shall begin our plan to conceive a child as soon as I come home, and we will do it carefully and immediately." Even more provocatively, Lucas grinned seductively at me, which caused me to giggle as if he were making an idle comment about me at this moment.I'm still in bed; his kiss on the top of my head was enough to wake me awake. After first getting up to

My eyes broadened at what Lucas did. He also closed the door backward and noisy slammed it because of his haste to leave. I was left behind, still sitting on the bed and staring like crazy at the door where he exited. Strange smiles hurriedly escaped my lips by thinking about that now.Lucas is really crazy.Gradually, I couldn't stop a strange smile from appearing on my lips even though I tried to conceal it. I realize that it felt good to get out of bed at this point where Lucas is extra sweet. After fixing myself and checking it in the mirror multiple times, I left the room. I went to Luke's room only to find out that he had already eaten too, like Lucas; Emily had already fed him earlier."How about you? Have you eaten, Emily?"She shook her head in response that she had not eaten yet. I gently patted her shoulder."Let me eat before you first. After that, I hastily will go upstairs so you can eat. I'll take care of Luke for the time being while you were eating in the kitchen.""O

An agreement that Adeline and I had made for a week did not come to pass. After the interaction abruptly ended, she has not called me again, nor has she sent me a message to coerce me into providing her with what she demands. It's possible that she was giving whatever I said to her some serious consideration. I find it difficult to believe that she won't give back my face either and that she will eventually take everything I have. In order for us to reach a deal, Adeline was required to accept my conditions. Just in case, I think I'm the more unfortunate of the two of us in the end. And it's been over two weeks since that day. Adeline called to tell me and informed me of those things. "Adeline, what are you thinking right now?" Lucas asked me by snapping his finger in front of me to get my whole attention. "I've been talking here for a while now, and you didn't even say a single word to me."I quickly changed my aura from thinking about something to giving him my full attention. We a

I was stunned and almost stumbled after getting out of his car when he loudly slammed the door to close it right after we arrived at the driveway of the mansion. He marched continuously towards the main entrance of the mansion and left me speechless at what he did. I just heard that he called the family driver to carefully park the car in the garage. I felt my heart skip a beat in surprise at watching him do that. My eyes widened as I clutched my chest with that event. I didn't expect this to be his reaction once we went home to the mansion. I thought he was not angry at me at all, but I was wrong. It looks like I misjudged Lucas mood earlier because I thought we were okay.Is he that mad at me? Why didn't he confront me?Why does it have to be shown in his action?He used to be open to all of his problems.I waited for a while outside before I entered the mansion. I took a few deep breaths before doing so. It was just a normal act of the maids every day I reached inside the mansion.

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
