Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 132
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.

Shocked for a few minutes, as if cold water were being poured on me. I was contemplating what Lucas wanted to tell me. My forehead was wrinkled and creased when I grabbed the cell phone from his hand to see what he was talking about. But Lucas didn't let go of his mobile device for me to see what was on the screen. I couldn't help myself but be confused right now by what he is trying to tell me using his logic this time. Lucas once again managed to bring that person into our conversation after a long time that had nothing to do with our fight earlier. He just really wants to empathize with others. This is really a typical Lucas character that I've known for a long time; he is just looking for someone to blame so that his anger towards me grows even stronger and stable for the time being of our fight."What are you talking about, Lucas? What happened to Dominic, as you want to say? Has the number of sinners in the world decreased? Is he dead? Why? Are you not kidding me?" Nervousness

A few days have passed before the day Adeline and I agreed to meet in secret. She just let everything that happened with Dominic settle first before she acted according to her plans. I haven't dug up all the details about them or about at what happened. I let her tell me herself if she wants to that but in the end it didn't took place. Anyway, I respect her decision. Who am I now to judge her and interfere in her life, right? I am just a nobody to her.I was able to openly communicate with her because Lucas didn't forbid me from using a mobile phone. He did not confiscate it either. The only thing he forbade me to do from time to time was leave the mansion alone. And since that day, I haven't been able to leave the mansion yet. I'm just here inside, wandering around. Sometimes in the garden, in the kitchen, on the balcony, in the gazebo, and often in Luke's room, playing with him."You didn't leave the mansion?"One afternoon, Lucas asked me when he came home early and caught me at th

I sighed a few times while looking at myself in the full-body mirror, which is inside our room. I turned around to see if the clothes I was wearing could fit perfectly on my body. This is the last moment I will see this face every time I am in front of the mirror. A few more days, and it will be completely replaced by my real face. My old appearance is coming back. Whether I admit it or not, I'm also already used to this look. While staying at the mansion, being Adeline was also enjoyable and quite challenging for me.At first, I really hated this face. Of course, who would like the face of a cheater? No one. But as time goes by, I feel like I will have sudden separation anxiety when I have already undergone plastic surgery to change it. It was also exciting on my part, because once my face is back to its real shape and appearance, I am free to meet my family. What I mean is that my real family is Annika. I think that's the only thing that calms me down now and prevents me from feelin

Lucas gave me a tight hug and a firm kiss on the lips before he got into his car. We left the mansion almost at the same time as him. He is the driver of his car because the family driver of the Romanovs was with us. He will drive us to the shopping mall we are going to. I just shrugged it off. I'm used to it. And still, he wouldn't go with us when we went to the mall. If he does come, he will still not go inside the toilet where it is scheduled to switch and exchange with the real Adeline."Mom, let's buy some burgers later!" Luke exclaimed as he sat prettily beside me."Sure, Luke. How many burgers do you want to eat?" Instantly, I agreed to his request.I sent a message to Adeline saying that we are on our way to the location right now. I also told her what she needed to do right after we were done switching. Including Luke's request to purchase burgers and Lucas' invitation to go to the park right after that. I just received a like reaction button from her, followed by the message
Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 137
As I walked slowly through the entrance of the shopping mall while still holding Luke in my arms, I made sure that I had taken time to breathe and calm myself, even if it was difficult. If only I were capable of stopping the flow of time at that particular moment, I would have done it. The more sentimental side of me doesn't want to say goodbye to Luke and Lucas just yet. I still don't want yet to let go of being a mother to him and a wife to Lucas. If only I could have the opportunity to have a conversation with the real Adeline right now, I would tell her that we would have done the switch plan tomorrow. Even though I pleaded and begged with her, I would have done it. But no, I can't, and I shouldn't. We can't postpone our plans today. It is now or never. I do believe that now is the right time to carry out the plans. I am also scared to death that maybe later I won't be able to let go of them anymore when she gives me another chance and permission to stay for another day and night
Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 138
When I saw Adeline's number pop up on the screen of my cell phone, I was in such a chaotic mood. She did not stop calling. In a hurry, I got to my feet and moved cautiously away from the table so that I could answer the phone call. When I turned around to face our table, I saw Luke and Emily staring at me with wide-set eyes. Their expressions made it clear that they were unable to speak as a result of what I had done. I did not pay any attention to them and carried on having a conversation with Adeline as if I had not seen them. "H-Hello?""I'm already here, Annika. Where are you?""We are still in the fast food chain. Luke is still eating, and—""I thought I was the one to go with Luke later to eat a burger after we switched. Why did you change your mind without informing me?"She said something, and I couldn't help but find her tone of voice irritating. I think Adeline hasn't changed as much as she promised me. Even in this way, her patience is already running out. What if their ch

Adeline and I stared at each other for a moment as our eyes widened. I don't want him to peek under and see that two pairs of feet are inside this cubicle. I gave Adeline a signal several times to answer his question, but the only answer I got from her was a no."Come on Annika, give him a response!"“No, you should answer him.”“What?”"Mom? Where are you? Did you fall asleep?"With so much panic, I quickly reached for a bowl. Adeline's eyes were strangely looking at me. I'm already sweating cold. I see Adeline looks like that too. I signaled her again to answer Luke's question so that the boy could be reassured that I was still inside the cubicle. She vehemently shook her head while giving me a sign to answer her son's questions.“G-Give him an answer,” she whispered in a tone of urgency.“No, you should give him an answer now. From now on we've already switched, haven't we?” I whispered back struggling hard to hold my breath.She clasped her hands together. Begging.What the heck!

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
