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
*****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
Finding herself sitted and waiting in the car; Alannah was deep in thought. Although she'd just been released from jail on bail and it felt great to be free once more. But her freedom had come completely out of thin air. A mysterious miracle. She was desperate for answers but she'd been asked to wait in the car by her benefactor. He'd introduced himself to her earlier as Connor.She'd asked herself why Connor helped her. She knew he wasn't doing it for charity because who the hell bail people out of jail for a living? Clearly, he wants something in return. But what could he possibly want in return? Only one way to find out, she thought.Few moments later, he was in the car. He seemed quite calm and composed and in no rush to explain anything yet. But she didn't have that kind of patience. She turned, fixing her stare on him which was supposed to make him uncomfortable and start talking. Fortunately, it worked. “What’s wrong? You look shocked” Connor said, in a deep, calm tone. A ghos
The interior of the house is even more beautiful than the exterior. “This is beautiful!” She shrieked almost screaming with beams in her eyes. “This is the waiting room, it’s where visitors stays when coming to visit while they’re waiting for whoever will attend to them” Nanny McPhee was explaining. “A waiting room? Wow. It’s beautiful” Alannah said, admiring the Spacious waiting room with an inviting white light and the most beautiful chandelier she’s ever seen! If this is just the waiting room, how will the other room look like? Alannah was still wondering before Connor’s voice interrupted.“Let’s go” Connor said, “We really don’t have the time for a tour right now, I am famished and I have a virtual meeting to attend very soon, Nanny McPhee” Connor continued. “Alright, I’ll go ask the maids to set the table, run your bath and of course, prepare a room for beautiful Alannah here” Nanny McPhee said Smiling and Ushering them in.The Living room was even more huge and extremely beauti
*CONNOR* It’s very lively on the ship. I had decided to blow off some steam. I wasn’t even supposed to be traveling on the ship, but, I didn’t want to travel by air, I wanted to travel alone because I didn’t want to be on the radar. I sighed after taking a shot and had noticed a girl staring at me from my corner.Taking one glance at her before puffing my cigarette. I’d sworn not to look at her the second time but I could feel her gaze on me, almost like she was piercing through me with her eyes. I took another glance. This time, taking my time to suck in a few details. Her shirt was too white to ignore, yet rough. She'd knotted the edges of her shirt which left her navel naked. Her Jeans were short, barely covering half of her thighs. Her dark, brown hair looked a mess, covering her face slightly.I knew I’d been staring for too long but I just couldn't help it. Lucky for me, She was staring right back too. She slowly readjusted the hair on her cheekbone and gave me a welcoming loo
**CONNOR’S POV** “Alannah Campbell, Orphaned since she was Eight, her parents had died in a car accident and her uncle took custody since then, She celebrated her Twenty-First birthday Five days ago, actually, I don’t know if she actually Celebrated it” Andre went on, Laughing. “Okay? She was raised by her uncle? Where and who is he? Any educational background? Criminal record and all?” I’d asked. “Yes, I was getting there” Andre replied. “Her Uncle is Eddie, Eddie Smith, Her Mother’s elder brother. He’s a drug dealer and Alannah is too, it says here that she’s also an addict. She’s wanted in Five different states, California inclusive. Heard she ran away from her uncle, with some money and all.

This chapter is rated 18 and if you’re not up to the age of 18 DO NOT READ!!**CONNOR** I told Alannah we would be having a conversation tomorrow morning. What are we going to talk about? How was I going to question her? I was thinking as I worked through the paper works in front of me, Damn it! I wasn’t concentrating. I need to get some sleep, I thought as I walked out of my study and make my way to my bedroom, sleep isn’t something that comes easy to me, and tonight, I know, is going to be one of those nights. I laid down but, I couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning on my bed. “Ugh, God” I groaned in frustration. Picked up my phone and punched in a contact. “Good Evening, Mr. Connor” the female voice at the other end of the phone had greeted. “Evening, Ava, I want you in my apartment in five" I said in my extremely dominating and intimidating tone. “Yes Sir” Ava answered from the other end of the call obviously terrified of me. Ava is a 22 years old lady being just
**Alannah** What was going on? I laid on my bed as I thought to myself, thinking about how I am going to have a real conversation with Connor without having the urge to strangle him. I and Connor don’t really get along, Now he’s harboring me in his house, meaning I’ll have to wake up and see his face each day and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Now, I wished I have a relative here, but, sadly, the one relative I have is my Uncle back at home and No, I will most definitely not want to go back to him.Occasionally, I get scared Eddie would find me, but, at least I’ll get to Live a little before he gets to know about my whereabouts. I shouldn’t worry about him now. Just when I was getting ready to get to sleep, I heard some strange noises, I have no idea where the sound was coming from and I was not really keen on finding out, I had planned on ignoring the sound and just get some sleep, but, it got harder to sleep when the sound grew louder. “Harder, Faster”
