All Chapters of Taming the Mayor's Wrath: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

An agreement that Adeline and I had made for a week did not come to pass. After the interaction abruptly ended, she has not called me again, nor has she sent me a message to coerce me into providing her with what she demands. It's possible that she was giving whatever I said to her some serious consideration. I find it difficult to believe that she won't give back my face either and that she will eventually take everything I have. In order for us to reach a deal, Adeline was required to accept my conditions. Just in case, I think I'm the more unfortunate of the two of us in the end. And it's been over two weeks since that day. Adeline called to tell me and informed me of those things. "Adeline, what are you thinking right now?" Lucas asked me by snapping his finger in front of me to get my whole attention. "I've been talking here for a while now, and you didn't even say a single word to me."I quickly changed my aura from thinking about something to giving him my full attention. We a

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

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

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

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!
