All Chapters of Taming the Mayor's Wrath: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I went back to our room to consider what I had learned after taking one of the housemaids on a tour of the manor. I thought back on the few bits of information I had managed to lose. It is obvious that I used to be incredibly awful at them and everything. The cook attempted to send a snack after lunch, but I was so consumed with thoughts of all the things I had to get done that I found it difficult to sit down and enjoy the desserts. Is this who I really am? What if there had been a possibility to exchange one person's soul for another? And I am one of them? Is that even possible? I have a strong sense that I am not the real Adeline. The problem is, I do not know how to explain this to Lucas while I have his wife's face and ring. Personally, I noticed something out of the ordinary. If I were her, I would at least have an innocent heart. What if it turns out that you are indeed this woman? You are simply unable to acknowledge it because you have no recollection. I sighed and laugh

Luke's nanny swallowed hard as if she had a lump in her throat. I will not let her do this. She cannot rule me because I have responsibilities. I am the wife of her boss, not anyone else. My husband is no longer treating me well; will she even take away my rights to my child? That is terrible. She cannot tell me what to do or not do. If she dislikes me, she has the option to resign. I can now provide better care for my child. She did what I wanted while lowering her gaze to the ground. I did not say anything to humiliate her; I simply did not like how she approached me earlier. She remained standing by our side while carrying Luke in her arms. My son continues to look at us alternately. Perhaps he was perplexed by the sudden rise in the tone of my voice. "I am sorry, Madam." I did not respond. I bit my bottom lip as I returned my gaze to her. I believe my words have caused her significant pain. I was furious with her. Her actions will suddenly become erratic without explanation. I s

"Are you going to make a change over time? Will we be able to mend our broken family? You do not seem to remember who you are. What the heck is this? You did not have to wait long to see him again—it was only one day after you were released from the hospital, Adeline!" he pointed me.His booming voice echoed throughout our room. "How much longer will you make me look foolish, Adeline? Answer me!" When we got back from the park, he immediately brought me to this room. Allowing Luke to enter his room first was a cunning plan to hide the fact that he was mistreating me. The rage that was consuming him at the moment was beyond his control. Because of his rage, both of his shoulders swung up and down repeatedly. He placed both hands on his waist, implying that if he did not do it, he would physically harm me. I know it is only a matter of time before he makes a threat against me. I can not blame him because I was also at fault. "Lucas..." I tried to explain, despite the fact that I knew

Lucas's menacing glare intensified and his jaw tightened even more. I wanted to run out of this room, but I felt numb all over, so I pushed against the bed's other side in an attempt to hide, and instead of listening to his order, I fled. He felt as though examining every inch of my body—from my head to my toes—would persuade me to comply with his wishes. I took a forceful swallow after another, trying to calm myself. I have no more explanations or reasons to give him at this time. All he asked of me was to accept his words and deal with the fallout. Follow whatever he instructs me to do. I should give him all he needs from me so that we can finish it and get some rest. After he got what he wanted, there was no way anyone, not even a strand of my hair, could be hurt. Adeline, you simply pretended to be ignorant and turned a blind eye. Like earlier, I know it will not change, so I do not want to keep begging with him. I will exhaust myself trying to explain that to him, but he will no

LUCAS POV I waited for Adeline to reply, but even though I recently completed everything, she has not responded as of yet. She can remember every detail, I have no doubt about that. And just pretending that she was not remembering anything. I first got to know her when we were both in college. She is the type of person who, once I catch her in the act of lying, will not stop until she gets her way. I care so much for her that I find it impossible to let go of my affection for her, despite everything that she has done to me. At the end of the day, I still make an effort to forgive her in the hopes that she will eventually alter her current course of action. "Are you really not going to answer my question? It is now up to you to make a decision. I will not compel you to respond." Even though I will not acknowledge them, I have noticed a lot of strange behaviors and changes in her since the accident. My wife appears to have made significant advances. Her eyes are innocent to begin with
