Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 75
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

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

My body was sore and heavy, as if I had an illness, when I woke up the next day. I didn't realize how I fell asleep last night in the situation between Lucas and me. Lucas claimed me not only once last night but many times over and over again. I was so tired that I could hardly count how many of them there were. And even though it already hurt so much that my womanhood couldn't perform well, he still didn't stop until he cummed.Before getting up, I looked at Lucas beside me. He was still sleeping soundly, and the proof is in his slow breathing.When I attempted to rise, the pain in my hip caused me to gasp for air, and I grabbed the side of the bed for support. When I tried to move forward with some power on my feet, it felt as if they would break in half. Add to that the discomfort I've been having in my waist, and I know exactly where it's coming from. Despite this, I persisted in telling myself to go to the closet and grab my clothes out of there. As I put on my new clothes, I cou

Before I did what Lucas wanted me to do, I stood there for a bit moment and glanced at the door to our bedroom. I obeyed my husband's command and moved slowly back into Luke's bedroom in complete silence before placing his body in his otherwise unoccupied and disordered bed. While I was doing that to him, his eyes scrutinized me with a sense of suspicion."Your Daddy told us we'd just stay here. We don't need to go to the hospital, Luke. Don't worry, son; he'll call the family doctor, and she'll take care of curing your unwanted illness. Just wait for the doctor to come."I believe it's important for Luke to hear me out and understand what's going on in everything around him. He may believe that I've given up on him at this point and that as his parents, we don't care about his suffering."So just wait, Luke? Just be patient, son. You'll get better shortly. Stay strong and don't give up just yet." This was something I murmured to him as I softly stroked his head in an effort to make t

What she said hit me hard. It's true that I don't know about Luke's illness, which is why it hurts a bit when it comes from someone else. As for Lucas, all of this is fine with me. I really don't know anything because I'm not the child's real mother. But if I say that, will she believe it? Of course not either. She might even raise some issues about it with Lucas. I don't want us to come that far. She might also call me out of my mind or a crazy bitch and told it to other people.She continued what she was saying. I was not given a chance to speak to her again. And I choose not to. That's enough!"That's the main reason why Luke has a fever. Once the swelling in his throat goes away, his fever will subside. I hope we can prevent it next time if we can avoid the main reason. Please take good care of him.""Thank you, Doctor Summertime." Luke's nanny replied to her, "Mayor Romanov has said that after you finish checking on Luke, you should stop by his office. He is waiting and wants to

While thinking about the content of what Lucas said, I couldn't move or speak for a few minutes due to shock at the emptiness. Lucas rapidly got off the bed and carried his laptop. His action seems to leave the room. And I was not wrong. He walks straight out the main door, and without looking back, he exits the room. He didn't give me a chance to clarify the words I hoped to explain to him. The most effective strategy I could employ to prevent tears from running down my cheeks was to blink my eyes three times. I was still taken aback by what Lucas declared and did in front of me, which consisted of disrespecting both me and the privacy of my personal belongings.What should I do?Think, Adeline, think!How can I contact them now that the SIM card was destroyed and it was not saved on my phone's memory?I haven't even been able to write it down on paper or memorize it, so it was safe.Feeling annoyed and dreadful, I decided to go back to Luke's room, even though I felt like I was drif

My smile didn't disappear even as I got closer to Luke's bed. I happily faced him, who was slowly chewing the food in his mouth, as I slowly sat down on the edge of his bed. His nanny slowly went out of the room without saying a word after she heard what I told her. I could tell that Luke's body and eyes are still sluggish, but there is some improvement compared to earlier. He was not the same, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak even a few words. Little by little, he is returning to being the talkative child that I used to know. And that made my worries for him go away for a moment. "It's good to know that you are feeling better now, Luke. I'll come to the idea that I should be sleeping next to you tonight to make sure that tomorrow you will feel way better. I won't leave and stay on your side tonight."Luke's eyes twinkled as he heard my words."Really Mom?"Of course, honey," I said, giving him a light pinch on the chin, which made him even more ecstatic. "You should l

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
