Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 70
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

ADELINE POVAfter Lucas rudely ended our call by cutting the connection, I didn't waste time thinking about his action. To divert my attention, I instantly stripped off my clothes and prepared to shower quickly for his arrival. I am so keen for this day to come. While standing under the shower with the warm water pouring from the shower head, I couldn't help but contemplate what would happen between us later. I won't deny my strong admiration and longing for his body. Fourteen days is enough time to put up an immediate consummation when we meet.What is he going to think when he sees me taking a shower in advance of our meeting? Will his glory be aroused with my scent?I'll make sure he's more satisfied later!When I had already visualized his reaction as we were doing it, I couldn't help but crack up. It made me feel as though I was going through it right now. When the area between my legs started to heat up, I started humming a familiar song that I believed to be my favorite to dive

While I waited for Lucas' car to pull over, I was still in a state of exhilaration. It wasn't easy to concentrate, as I was so excited about welcoming him back. Following the fact that I silently stood there in order to wait for him, I became aware that I was unable to be satisfied with my stance. Without a single word, I hurriedly stepped out of the mansion, holding Luke in my arms, and stopped near the car before continuing on my way. We approached the automobile stealthily and cautiously, without Lucas knowing our presence. I was having such a difficult time missing him so much that I felt the need to give him a bear hug in this instant. I know he missed us enormously.However, as soon as I discovered that he was throwing me nasty stares for some reason, I tried to walk away from him and out of his way before I had the chance to get any closer because of that. Even though he was on the other side of the automobile door, I was still able to see what he was doing inside the vehicle.

For a while, nobody could paint my face, even though they were the best painters in the world. I still have a grudge against Lucas because he doesn't value me or give me the attention I begged for from him. I started following after them once more, using my enormous strides. My emotions weren't valid, but I didn't give those intolerable thoughts credence. I'm still holding out hope that it wasn't at all what he had in mind. It's possible that he was too busy to notice my presence because of something else, and of course, it is a possibility."Luke, Lucas, wait for me!" I pretended to be cheerful with my tone of voice even though I wasn't really feeling that way and was on the edge of bursting into tears. I couldn't help but feel like a fool.When I finally caught up with them, I immediately placed one of my hands on one of Lucas's arms, taking the chance that he would notice me because of what I had done. On the other hand, I was taken aback when Lucas withdrew it in such a forceful

Upon entering our bedroom, I closed my eyes tightly and held my breath. Lucas violently closed the door, which made me almost jump from my feet. The downstairs helpers could hear it loud enough. I even bit my lower lip when he didn't speak after that. The feeling that my heart would explode at any moment added to the air inside our room, which suddenly decreased.As I closed my eyes, I felt all around me what Lucas would do to me for a few minutes. I was prepared for that, as I knew he was fuming mad. When I opened my eyes, my heart almost blew up in shock when Lucas's indescribable face appeared an inch from my face. Based on his threatening stare, the intense anger cannot be denied."L-Lucas..."I attempted to smile lightly at him to ease the situation. What's wrong with trying? My heart's suspicions were terrible a while ago, but I diverted them and tried to think that Lucas could still forgive me again. When he didn't speak and was still glaring at me, I thought maybe I could appr
Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 76
Vigorously, I shook my head in protest at his accusations. I couldn't imagine Lucas becoming an awful person just because of me. I don't want him to get to the point of being a terrible person, as he says. My eyes were blinking to stop crying at that time. I don't want to weep because he'll think I'm a loser and weak. Seeing his disappointed eyes at my existence made me shed tears deep inside my soul. The thought that I could stop them was on my mind, but I was wrong. They fell one after the other from my eyes down to my face like raindrops."What are you crying about? You are the one who is guilty of doing something nasty for me, and you are the one who has the urge to cry and act oppressed?""It's not me, Lucas; please believe me, it's not me—" "You think I'm going to acknowledge your reasoning again? Besides, what's the point of saying it's not you? It's clear from both of our eyes that you're the one in the picture. Are you really going to make up the story that it's not you? If

Because Lucas was shouting so loudly, I had no choice but to swiftly lift my eyes to his face in order to see the reaction he gave. When our eyes briefly met, his anger was still raging in his eyes. He looked away hastily. I cautiously opened my mouth a few times in an attempt to talk to him and explain my side of the story so that Lucas might understand, but before I could do so, he crossed the gap that was separating us.Is he going to hit me again?What should I do? Should I run away this time?Before my body ever had a chance to react, Lucas quickly seized my head and yanked it closer to him. It caused a tremendous amount of pain, and I was on the verge of crying out in agony. I felt several strands of my hair being pulled away from my head as Lucas held me in such a tight hold. I was in torment because of what he was doing. I wanted to shout and object, but I couldn't muster the confidence to do it. I had no choice but to let him do what he wanted me to commend since I couldn't

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
