Taming the Mayor's Wrath Chapter 98
"Luke, where do you want to go or what do you want to do on your birthday? Tell me."It was two weeks before his birthday when we asked him. We are now hanging out in the theater room. Watching the newly released children's movie. Lucas and I went to watch it with Luke to bond. It's raining cats and dogs outside the mansion, and we are too lazy to leave to have fun for the day. This is the only thing we agreed to do since we didn't want to go out because of the bad weather. I was lying on the long sofa, while Lucas was on the sofa opposite me. Luke was busy with his toys."My birthday?"Luke's eyes were full of confusion at what I said. I don't know if he's just out of his mind to forget the meaning of a birthday or if they're just celebrating it right now. That is the impossible reason. Lucas would not allow his only child not to celebrate his birthday. That's a normal thing for parents to do to their children anywhere in the world."Yeah, your birthday, Luke. It means your special d

My hands couldn't stop sweating as a result of even more intense pressure. We are now heading on our way to the airport, three days before Luke's exact birth date. Lucas suggested that we had to do that because, on the day of Luke's birthday, our bodies had already recovered from the fatigue of the long trip."That's fine with me, Lucas." I only replied when he stated that.From the day Lucas declared that we were leaving the country to celebrate Lucas birthday, I couldn't feel at ease thinking about what was going to happen during the day of our flight. I always catch myself floating and spacing out constantly while thinking about it."Maybe nothing bad will happen. I'm just too paranoid and think frightening things. It was just me."I have to convince myself every time I think about it so my heartbeats will slow down."That's right; nothing harmful will come to me or us."Another problem is that I was worried because this was the first time I would board an airliner. I don't know my

Suddenly the whole area became quiet after Luke acknowledged my response. If our son understood my alibi and bought it right away, Lucas didn't. After a minute or two, I noticed how quickly Lucas's reaction had altered. He is disappointed in me, and it was written on his entire face. Yes, it's my fault that his happy mood shifted and was ruined, and of course, I regret that big time. I was too carried away by my emotions and sentiments, not knowing it could result in something like this. I should express happy feelings, especially when Luke is with us. Ruining my husband's good mood by accident was not my core intention."I'm really sorry." I felt embarrassed and guilty, so I opened my mouth to ask for forgiveness while looking at Lucas without Luke seeing it. He was now crouching at my side, looking out the window as he watched the skyway we were currently crossing over. Luke's eyes were full of admiration and adoration, as if he had just seen the place for the first time."Next tim

Both Lucas and I were able to locate our seats in a reasonable amount of time. It was not far from the gate where passengers entered the aircraft. I noticed that Luke was beaming from ear to ear despite the fact that he was sitting on the chair in total and utter stillness. Luke's attention was immediately drawn to the program that was playing on the television in front of him. The screen was tuned to show one of his all-time favorite animated films. As a result, he no longer gives much thought to anything else that is going on in the world around him."Look at your son," I managed to convey to Lucas, who rearranged our things.He administered what I told him and let out a light chuckle after observing what his son was doing."He no longer cares about his surroundings, Lucas.""Don't bother him; he's fine. Since his babysitter was there, there is no reason for you to be concerned. That's better compared to the past travels we had years ago, when he shed tears almost all of the time an

Lucas moved closer to me and leaned in. I can pick up on his signature fragrance, which is not overpowering to the sense of smell. It stings in every corner of my nose. My skin felt the warmth from his hot breath as well when I felt his breath just a few inches away from my face. I readjusted my position in the chair and brought the menu forward just a hair so that he could read it easily. It took him a few moments before he was able to select what he wanted to eat. "Please bring me one serving of white pasta and a salad with vegetables. Pineapple juice is my drink."Lucas could have seen and felt the intense gaze that I was casting in his direction, so he veered around to face me. We locked our eyes with each other for a few moments in front of the flight attendant, as if they were talking in silence. After a while, he looked away as if he were burned by my deep gaze."How about you, Adeline? What kind of food are you craving today? You are free to choose anything you wish to have.

When we finally arrived at the hotel after our nearly 24-hour flight, we found that it had been well worth the wait. While we are there, we are going to make that hotel our home base. Because of its proximity to the shore and the opportunity to swim in salt water, Lucas recommended that we stay at this place. The site is home to one of the most renowned great hotels in Florida's state capital. Because so many people from all over the world choose to stay at this hotel, its reputation has spread far and wide throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The Micasa Grand Hotel is its proper name. At the airport, a limousine serving as the hotel's car greeted us and took us to our destination. It wasn't until that moment that I realized that Lucas was a very prominent guest in the area. At first, I was a little reluctant, but once I watched Lucas get into the car, I decided to go and did not have any hesitation about following him. I lent a hand to Emily as she brought Luke to the vehicle. Beca

Several times I tried to capture Lucas' eyes, but his eyes were shut every time I did that. As if doing that would make his fatigue decrease. When Lucas opened his eyes, I forced a wide smile. By that time, he had become devilish, as he glanced everywhere as if preventing me from gazing at him. After a while, his body slowly fell and lay on top of me, which caused me to gasp for air. Lucas even gave me the reason to have difficulty breathing because of the weight of his whole body that he put on me. "Lucas, get off me! You are too heavy! Do you want me to pass out? Get off of me. I cannot breathe, please!" I pleaded with him while rubbing and patting his back in an attempt to grab his attention.Lucas just cracked up, as he may think that I am just fooling him to get down. Instead, to attend to what I declared, he slowly kissed me on my dry lips to seal it, as if doing that would make me shut my mouth. I gasped in the air again after he removed his lips from mine. Even though he move

After watching me shut the door, Lucas automatically reached for my hand as soon as it was available. He double-checked the door of our room to see if it was already locked. We both gave a few glances to the opposite room, where our son was currently resting with Emily. After a few minutes of staring at each other, Lucas and I made our way into a hallway in a deliberate way. It wasn't until that point that I discovered how stunning the entire hotel was. As we were checked in in the VIP suite room, the surroundings were very peaceful. While heading to the elevator, we interact with a relatively small percentage of the hotel's staff members, and the rest are our fellow guests who also reside in the VIP suite."Shall we buy them food later when we go up?" I asked Lucas to break the silence that enveloped us both. "Maybe they are hungry."Gradually, Lucas looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. I know he knows who I'm talking about. I don't need to say who it is. One of his hands wrapped

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
