ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: “..Like Me”
**CONNOR** “We’re not really different from each other.” The words of my father kept replaying in my head. What if he was right? There’s no what ifs, he’s right. We’re not different from each other, I had just hit and pushed Alannah, she could’ve been badly hurt but fortunately, she isn’t. I dug my hand in my pocket as I let those thoughts run through my mind, removing my hand with a pack of cigarettes, I took one and lit it before taking a puff. Why did he have to come to where we are? Why does he always have to show up? Just why? I kept asking myself questions as I walk around the yard absentmindedly. I might not have an answers to all of my questions but I knew one thing, I knew I was done running, running away from him and hiding from him. I am going to face him now and let him know I’m not that little boy he’s always thought me to be. I can stand up not just for myself but for everyone around me, including Alannah. Remembering Alannah, I knew she probably see me
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY FIVE: No Secrets
**ALANNAH** “Connor?” I called and like he wasn’t expecting me to have found him, Connor stood up immediately he heard my voice and he turned to look at me, he looked broken and sorry and I only smiled, he looked so handsome and I just love this man despite everything, I knew he would never hurt me on purpose, he felt bad for pushing me, hence the reason he couldn’t bear to look me in the eye. He stood there, not taking a step or even making any effort to move close to me. “Hi.” I said and smiled again and this time he smiled back. “Hey.” He said like a little boy before looking down at his feet and making some tapping noise with his feet. “I will kill you if I hear that sound again.” I threatened jokingly and he lifted his head to look at me, he smiled. I went close to him and just hugged him, that was the only way I could let him know I love him and I’d stay with him through everything, he shouldn’t worry about me leaving because I’d never. He’s the father
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY SIX: Confused
“No more secrets? Did I just agree to no more secrets? There’s more but how do I tell him? He already thinks he’s an horrible person and now telling him he should be expecting a baby would be, I don’t know. Lately, I really don’t know much.” I started thinking to myself as I placed my head on Connor’s shoulder and closed my eyes. My stomach growled and I opened my eyes at the sound of Connor’s laughter. “You’re hungry?” Connor asked laughing and unable to deny that fact, I nodded my head. Truth is I’ve been really hungry lately and not just hungry, I’ve been craving for a lot of things and I have no idea how long I could hide that I’m pregnant. I really want to tell him, watching him smile and stare at me so lovingly in hopes that I’m not hiding anything from him makes me want to puke. I just want to let it all out, but I’m worried about his reaction, I want him to be happy when he knows and clearly the reaction I’m looking for is not one I would be getting anytime soon, so fo
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN: The BathSex and talk
We ate the rest of our dinner in silence and when we finished Connor and I decided to just go to bed immediately. “Are you really Okay.”’he asked, still worried about the previous incident. “Yes. How many times do I have to tell you I’m fine.” I said as I smiled at him, really, I’m not fine, I want to press further for answers and although I knew he isn’t ready because he doesn’t think he’ll make a good dad, I wanted him to still tell me why he thinks so, that way I’ll be able to tell him being a father isn’t something that comes with a manual, I need to have a talk with Connor. “You just seem sick but I’m glad you’re fine now.” He said and kissed my forehead. “Let’s go shower.” He suggested and I agreed, I’ve been breaking a lot of sweat lately, plus, I just want to feel the cold water on my body. I nodded in agreement as I started pulling off my clothes. Connor had gone to the bathroom to run our bath while I pulled of my clothes. “How long will it take you to get
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT: Dropping out
I adjusted to his embrace and we both spoke for a while, the answer he had given me about him also wanting to be a father gave me the assurance I needed, it’s not so bad after all, he wants a baby just as much as I do but probably not just yet, I could wait and even the baby bump could wait a while before it starts protruding. I rubbed my belly and accompanied Connor’s palm to my belly also, I smiled when he gave it a slight rub, unknown to him that he was rubbing his future child. “I’ll really love to drop a seed and watch it germinate inside you, really.” Connor said as he kept rubbing my stomach and that act made me smile. “Soon. Since you want it.” I said. “I want it.” He answered and shifted a little, not long after, I heard slight snores and knew he was asleep already. I’d slept in the afternoon hence the reason I haven’t fallen asleep yet. “I’ll tell him about it soon.” I thought as I yawned, boredom is beginning to draw me in and I knew I’d fall asleep really
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY NINE: Worst Birthday
“Oh Now I don’t know how to count?” My uncle screamed and before I could say Jack, he slapped me. “This is supposed to be Ten.” He said again, I had no idea, I had only wanted to leave that place in a hurry, I tried to explain to him but he didn’t listen until Sean stepped up. “Come on now, She’s new. Don’t blame her.” Sean said, standing in front of me and my uncle calmed. “You’re right. Get the son of a bitch that she delivered to over here.” He said to the other guys and they scurried off immediately, my uncle also left the room, leaving just I and Sean. “I’m sorry about that.” Sean said, pulling me up and dusting my body for me. “It’s fine.” I said, the slap still stung and I just walked back to my room. “Worst birthday ever.” I said to myself as I winced, my cheek burns as a result of the slap and I placed a cold towel on it, walking to the mirror I checked my cheek and it was red, I kept massaging with the cold towel when I heard a knock on the door, the d
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FIFTY: Delivery gone wrong
It’s been a year of selling drugs for Uncle Eddie, doing a little and getting in trouble here and there. I wanted to stop, I needed to. “What you gonna do now?” Sean asked me. “I don’t know.... maybe after delivering this, just tell him I’m done.” I answered. “Do you think he’d listen? I mean if it were that easy, I would’ve been out by now.” Sean said puffing his cigarette. “Yeah. I know.” I answered as I face palmed myself. “But, I’m his niece and I’m 19. I know better than to snitch on him, the least he could do is just let me go.” I sighed as I thought about leaving the drug business and the cons, Sean was right, My uncle doesn’t seem like one who would take things easy with me regardless of the fact that I’m his niece. “Let’s see how it goes.” Sean said and I nodded. “What are you doing?” He asked as he walked towards me. “Studying. It’s Algebra and it’s.......” I started saying. “You lost me at Studying, bro. I’m bouncing.” Sean coughed and we both la
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: I Quit. Clean.
We got home, I and my uncle got out of the car, leaving the guy who’d came with him to drive it to the garage. Making our way inside without talking. “I need to talk to you, Uncle.” I said without being scared, I didn’t stutter or fumble my words as I said it. “What’s that honey?” He asked still smiling. “I want to quit. I’m done.” I said in a serious way which made my uncle only laugh at me. “Oh. You’re so funny.” He said while still laughing and he stopped abruptly and took a close look at me. “Wait. You’re serious?” He asked with a stern look and somehow I got scared. “Y... Yes.. I am.” I answered with my shaky voice, I looked down at my shoes because I couldn’t look at his face. “What Do You Mean?!” He yelled and this time his eyes were red. “Uncle please. I just... I want a life, I want to get to live like a normal teenager, please Uncle.” I said with my voice shaky, I was crying now. “You could leave. You can quit, I have no problem with that.” Uncle

ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR EPILOGUE
*****5 Years Later**** **ALANNAH**“Ariel!” I called. “Get back here!” I added as I ran around the house chasing after my toddler. Having a baby isn’t what I thought it would be for me, I would be occasional stressed out and the little one isn’t helping. Running around and trying to catch her, my phone rang.Ring ring ring came from my phone, I paused for a while to see who it was and I smiled as I saw it was Connor.“Hey baby.” He called from over the phone with a smile.“Hey.” I answered breathlessly. “Ariel, No, Stop!” I yelled again and I heard Connor laugh at me.“What’s going on over there?” He asked still laughing and doing nothing to stop his laughter.“Your daughter.” I started saying. “She’s driving me nuts.” I added, wincing dramatically like I wanted to cry. “I’m tired, I need a break, a vacation where she doesn’t get to come.” I ranted.“Oh, So now she’s my daughter?” He asked and I just know he did that with a raised eyebrow. “You’ll have a vacation but definitely
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY NINE: “Will You Marry Me?”
After waiting a while, a doctor finally came outside and we all stood up to walk over to him.“How is he?” Julia asked before any of us could speak.“Calm down Julia. Let the doctor talk.” Uncle Matt said and the doctor let out a small smile.“He’s stable now.” The doctor announced and Uncle Matt and I let out a sigh of relief, although we were shocked, Alannah held her chest for what seem like minutes before getting control of her breathing.“Can we see him now?” Julia asked, cleaning her tears with her palm.“Yes. But, he’s asleep now, I suggest you get him something to eat and let him rest before getting to see him.” The doctor said, leaving us alone as we said our thanks.“He’s Fine!” Julia screamed, jumping on me and all smiles.“Yes, Yes He is.” I laughed too and after some time of celebration, we all made our way to go freshen up and make some food for Adrian when we get home.“You need to take a rest.” I said to Alannah and she smiled, hugging and holding me tight.“I’m just
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT: Losing my best friend
I was going to handover the papers to him when we heard gunshots, ducking, I jumped over to where Alannah was standing in a bid to protect her. Uncle Matt’s and his men shooting became rampant and we made our way to the safety, I saw my dad trying to escape and I immediately ran over to him, pouncing on him. I slowed him down.“You don’t want to do this.” He said trying to stand up. “I’ve been waiting for years to do this.” I punched him and he spat out blood. “That’s for Alannah.” I said. “This is for Nanny McPhee.” I said as I punched him again. “And this..” I said making my hand in a strong fist. “.... is for my mother.” I punched him hard not giving him a chance to breath or even speak. He was still so strong because he immediately rolled over and was on his feet in no time.“No fucking time pass by that I don’t remember how you killed her.” I let my anger surge through me as I dashed to where he was, he spun around quickly not letting me get to him.“She killed herself.” He answ
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN: Breaking News
I opened my eyes in a dark room with a fuzzy head. My head and ears ringing, I tried so hard to remember what had happened but the more I tried, the more my head ached. “Where am I?” I asked myself as I tried to stand up and it was then I realized I was tied to a chair with my hands behind my back, my legs tied up too and my mouth duct taped. I groaned.“The more you try, the more painful it becomes.” I heard a familiar voice say, I strained my eyes to look properly and I saw Steve, Connors dad. I struggled more on the chair and tried to say something that only came out in a muffle as my mouth was taped already, he lifted his hands up and a man, My Uncle, came closer to remove the tape from my mouth, I spat and inhaled.“What do you want?” I said.“You know what I want. Connor does too.” He answered. “You just tell him to step down and everyone is fucking happy. That son of a bitch is stubborn and if anyone could talk to him, it’s you.” He added.“And you really think I will?” I said
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY SIX: Kidnapping Alannah
Getting home, Connor made sure I took my supplements, we decided to stay back and watch TV for a while before going to rest.“The Multibillionaire and most eligible bachelor is set to be a father soon? Are these rumors true....” Came from the TV and Connor immediately switched it off.“How did they know?” I asked, puzzled. We’d made sure to not let anyone else in on the news except close families and maybe the servants around the house.“I don’t know but things about me don’t pass by the media that easily, they always find it all out eventually.” Connor answered.Ring ring. The doorbell rang and one of the maids had gone to answer it.“Connor! My man!” Adrian called as he made his way to us. Julia followed suit and gave me a hug.“Congratulations.” Julia said. “Thank you.” I smiled and turned to Adrian who also congratulated and gave me a peck.“And I’m sorry about Nanny McPhee. We’ll all miss her.” She added.“Yeah. I’ll really miss having her around.” Adrian added.“It’s Okay, lets

Connor helped me to the bathroom and also assisted with my bath like I was a little baby, he was so gentle like I’d break if he does something stupid.“Goodnight little one.” Connor whispered before kissing my belly and I only smiled a little.“When are we holding McPhee’s Funeral?” I asked and he sighed.“I’m three days time.” Connor answered, “it totally skipped my mind to break that news to Adrian and Julia, they love her.” He added.“I know. You were too excited.” I said and he smiled.“I still can’t believe I’ll be a father soon.” He smiled again. “It’s exciting.” He added.“It is.” I said as I yawned.“Oh. You should go to sleep now, it’s been a long day and you’re most likely tired.” He said.“Goodnight.” I said, resting in his embrace.“Goodnight baby.” Connor whispered back and I closed my eyes to give into the sweet arms of sleep.The loud clanking downstairs and the door opening woke me up. “Good Morning.” Connor said in a singsong way. I rubbed my eyes before I opened them
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR: Breaking the news; I’m Pregnant.
“Connor, I have something to tell you.” I said as we got into the room. “What’s that, Baby girl? Are you Okay?” He asked, pulling off his clothes.“Yes. No. I’m fine, I’m good.” I told him and something about the way I answered made him walk closer to me.“What is it then?” He asked, lifting my face up.“I’m pregnant.” I rushed out the words like I was eating something very hot. Connor dropped his hand and moved a few steps farther away from me.“What?” He said, confused. “You’re what?” He asked again.“I’m pregnant.” I repeated. “I’ve been aware of it for a month now and I couldn’t bring myself to tell you..” I started saying. “I know you’re not ready to be a father and it’s fine if you don’t want to have anything to do with me anymore or the baby. I just thought it’s only right that you should know. You’re the father.” I said and he still looked shocked.Connor didn’t say a word to me, he slowly walked out of the room and I laid on the bed devastated. “I probably shouldn’t have tol
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY THREE: Plan
**ALANNAH**“What?” Connor asked and I nodded as I repeat myself.“That is my uncle.” I said again in shock.“Eddie Smith.” Uncle Matt announced as he walked back into the small barn and I nodded.“How did you know where we were? You got our location?” Connor asked and Uncle Matt shook his head.“No.” He answered.“Then how?” Connor asked again.“Alannah told me where you guys are, she’d called to inform that you were in potential danger and had sent the location, we came here as soon as we could.” Uncle Matt explained and Connor smiled.“Thank you.” Connor said to him as we made our way out of the barn. “Lisa!” I called as I ran towards my best friend. “Are you Okay?” I asked and she nodded as she swallowed hard.“I’m Okay.” She managed to say. “You should’ve seen Mr. Connor, he beat the shit out of all of them. He’s a freaking Superman.” She added and that was how I knew my best friend was fine. I looked up to see Connor talking with Uncle Matt and I smiled. They both walked p
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER SIXTY TWO: Brawl
As I looked around in search of Lisa, my phone rang. Ring ring ring. “Hello. Uncle.” I answered the call as I sniffed.“Where are you guys? Are you okay?” He asked and I could hear the worry in his voice. I sniffed again before I answered.“I’m good. Nan McPhee is dead.” I announced.“What?!” Uncle Matt said, shocked.“He killed her but I swear, I will not spare him when I find him. I’ll kill him, Uncle. I swear.” I threatened as I hold back my tears and made my hand into a fist.“Calm down, Son.” Uncle Matt said. “Where are you guys.” He asked and I told him I’ll send him the address immediately I drop the call, I was looking for Lisa. He hung up and I immediately sent him our location which I’m not sure he got because just as if sent it, the service left my phone and I groaned in frustration.“Lisa? Lisa?” I heard Alannah call and I rushed to where she was. Lisa was also tied down and fortunately, she was still alive. Alannah and I struggled to untie her but the knot was tied too ti
