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
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
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
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
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
