Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 64
My gaze quickly focused on the ring finger of my left hand. She had a valid point. Because it has their wedding ring on it, if Lucas were to come here to the scene, he would still think that I am his wife, even though his real wife is in front of him. Unless they have a connection deep in their hearts."Do you think I can't remove—""Then give it a shot, and let us see what happens."She stopped me abruptly from my sentence."Adeline—"She intruded on me once more in the middle of my statement."What do you want, fake Adeline?" "Is it possible for us to have a serious discussion?""Sure."My forehead wrinkled at how short her reply was. Is she only laughing at me now?"Would you be able to respond to the sincerity of my inquiry?"She did not respond and just played deaf."Are you familiar with me? Do you know who I am?"She raised the corner of her mouth and furrowed one of her eyebrows as she did so. She may believe that I am an easy person to manipulate and that I can be their pupp

Even though her response had nothing to do with my concerns, I chose not to mention it. As a sudden numbness spread across both of my hands, I clasped them both in silence. My reaction was left hanging in the air, and I was unable to proceed with it. My mental state is even more unsettled than before. She says a lot of things, but the vast majority of them are beyond my comprehension; in fact, listening to them only served to further perplex me. What exactly took place with us?I don't understand why she doesn't say it straight. When she could have cut down on the length of both our conversation and our argument, instead she made it even longer."Just be thankful that you're still alive now," she continued, speaking up to me as if I owed her everything in the world. "And one more thing that you need to hear is that it seems as though you're doing fine wherever you are right now. It is not immediately apparent that you are a different individual based on your looks. Why don't you comm

As I shake my head, my eyes keep drifting down to his physical appearance. I evaluated him in great detail, from head to toe. Actually, he was a handsome man as well, but in comparison to Lucas, I find Lucas to be more endearing and charming than him. It's impossible for me not to wonder what it is about him that makes Adeline fall for him. In my opinion, he is a representative example of a typical grown man in town. "Dominic, you are not nice at all in any way. Do you wish to know the reason behind it?"He didn't answer. Based on the expression on his face, my tone of voice could possibly come across as mocking to his ear."Despite the fact that you are aware that your actions could endanger the marriage of your closest buddy, you have succeeded in luring the attention of his wife. Luke was not on your mind, but I recently found out that you are one of his godfathers. What happened?"He threw some serious glances at me as if asking me to shut my mouth, but I did not."And being one

After wrapping the scarf that I had brought around my head and placing the glasses on my eyes, I departed that spot with huge steps. I had to go home to the mansion before Luke woke up, or else, for sure, he was going to raise a question to them about where I was."Mommy? Where do you come from? My nanny told me that you went out early this morning. Why didn't you bring me with you?" It was Luke, whom I instantly spotted running around the corner of the entrance of the mansion as I opened the door. A genuine smile crept on my lips when I saw his bright expression. He ran towards me to embrace me as though it had been centuries since the last time we met. Now, I know that I already knew that I'm not his real mother and that no portion of myself is rooted in his body, yet nonetheless, here I am happily taking care of him as my own son. I won't abandon him as the real Adeline did. I will stay by their side, not forever, but until I reclaim my identity. Lucas must understand it beforeha

His comments caused me to chuckle in a feeble way. Although he is still young, he is skilled in the art of fluttering people's hearts. I managed not to suppress the smile on my face, which had become even wider. I gave him a slight pat in response."Really? How about we try this question-and-answer part, Luke?" I gestured to him while placing my hand under my chin. "Among the two of us, which one do you love more than the other, and you couldn't live without it by your side? Is it me, or should you tell me it was your dad? Be honest."After a brief period of silence during which he seemed to be considering the most appropriate response for me, he eventually spoke."Before, it was only Daddy, but now I will choose you, Mommy."Oh, and he's great at making me feel proud of myself. That is a great answer. Perhaps the fact that we are so close to one another at this point was the reason behind his choices. I treated him so kindly, and that is why."Really? When he hears you, your dad is g

My heart almost jumped and exploded with a combination of anger and fear as I climbed out of the chair when I heard what one of my men said on the other end of the line. Discreetly, I told them to watch my wife's every move before I left the mansion. I told him to keep an eye on Adeline all the time and report any unusual movements to me. It's not that I still don't have the assurance and trust that she changed; I'm just afraid of what might happen here while I'm away from her. And meeting Dominic once again behind my back was the last thing I expected her to do when I was not around."Mayor Romanov, your wife has gone outside and met today with your friend Dominic. She has been leaving the mansion as early as she can for several days to go to his apartment. We just found it out now." he repeated what he said earlier, which made me completely outraged and erupted the hidden flare of my resentment. "What the fuck are you talking about? Make it clear. Are you sure you are not only maki

Throughout the night, I was restless and not able to sleep, even though I felt exhausted the whole day and had alcohol in my body. At that moment, I wished to prepare myself to go home to surprise Adeline and, at the same time, confront her. I can't wait for the day of our return home, even though I am sure it might be one of the days that Adeline feels loathing toward me. This time, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to give her anything she would beg for. I wouldn't feel sorry for her, particularly if I saw the images of her and Dominic having a good time while I was away. Thinking of that right now makes me furiously frantic. It will surely make my entire being burn with wrath. As time went on, the fury I felt towards her intensified and was fueled."Dominic, you son of a fucking asshole! Wait for me to come home, and I guarantee that I won't allow you to get away with this and wreak havoc on my family once more. I won't let you do it again. I won't give up until I've won against yo

The following morning, when I woke up, I had a headache. Since I did not get enough sleep last night, I was already prepared for it. When I finally allowed myself to close my eyes, I knew it was already dawn outside. I was not intoxicated, but that resulted from the predicament playing in my head. To our good fortune, Uncle Elias and I had no appointments to keep that day. Today is a day off for us, and I am thankful for that. In addition, I do not plan to go for a walk or explore the neighborhood nearby. In only a few more days, we will have completed the reason why we came here. When the ache in my head seemed to expand, I gently massaged my head. It must be because I haven't gotten enough sleep. After lightly stretching my muscles and body, I went to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and filled it with ice water to quench my thirst. I am also starving at the moment.While drinking some water, I thought more about the factors contributing to my poor demeanor. I clattered the glass whe

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
