How could she still say she loves me? She placed her head on my shoulder and after a while I noticed she was asleep, she needed the sleep, she’s been stressed and also had a great shock today. I lifted her up and carried her in my arms bridal style, she flinched a little but finally relaxed in my embrace. I carried her up to our room and placed her gently on the bed, taking much care so I wouldn’t wake her up. I decided I needed a bath too and just as I was about to start pulling of my clothes, I heard my phone ring. I picked it up and the caller ID identified Uncle Matt, he probably has a lead already I thought as I picked up the call. “Uncle?” I said answering my call in a low tone. “Connor, I have news.” He said. “Okay, Share.” I answered, standing up and pacing the room. “Your father is back and I heard he’s in Paris, he had hosted a fair that killed a lot of people but sadly, he’ll be getting away with it. But, I’m gonna make sure he doesn’t, I’ll nab him and make him pay
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER THIRTY NINE: Pregnancy Test
**ALANNAH** These past days had been horrific, first an attack, then meeting Connor’s dad and the fair. Julia spent days blaming herself for suggesting we went. She healed after a while and everyone of us went about our daily business. Connor controlling ACE from Paris and Julia and Adrian running their joint business, for a while we’d forgotten about the unfortunate events. “What do you guys say we go for a picnic this afternoon.” Connor suggested. We spoke about it earlier and we decided everyone needs a break especially Julia, she needs to overcome her new fear of going outside. Adrian agreed and I nodded. “No. I’ll just stay in.” Julia said and somehow we’d expected that. I decided I was going to talk to her, after breakfast, the guys took a walk and I decided it was time to talk to Julia. “It’d be fun, Julia. Please.” I said pleading and hoping she’d agreed. “No. I just want to stay in, what if something even more horrible happens? No, I don’t want tha
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY: PREGNANT.
“YES.” Julia shrieked and my stomach churned. Julia shared the news happily but the churn in my stomach did not stop. How am I to tell Connor I’m pregnant? How do I break the news of him being a father to him? I want this baby, but does he want it just as much as I do? Questions kept running through my mind, unanswered questions. What do I do? Was the last ultimate question I’d asked myself. “You’re going to tell him right? Why are you crying?” Julia asked and it was then I knew I was crying. “Don’t you want the baby?” Julia asked and I was still silent. “Just, whatever decision you choose to make, I’m gonna support you through it. Okay?” Julia finally finished and I eventually got the courage to look at her. “I want the baby.” I said, I know that for sure. “I mean, you don’t have unprotected sex and not be ready for what comes out of it.” I said as I smiled. “But, does he though? Does he want it just as much as I do?” I asked, looking at Julia with teary eyes and she only
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY ONE: Hide?
**CONNOR** Alannah turned to continue the movie but I just couldn’t concentrate, I looked over at Adrian and I think he felt the same way, he was eating his nails, an act he does whenever he is anxious, scared or worried. Will my dad really go this far? I was asking myself, I knew he wouldn’t stop but I wasn’t expecting that he’d go this far, I’m more worried about my friends, they’re in danger now because of me. I pinched the bridge of my nose now, I’m really stressed. “Should we get to our room?” Alannah asked and I was grateful, I just want to coil up with her in bed. I nodded and we said goodnight to Adrian and Julia. We got to our room and prepared to sleep, I laid, Alannah did too, she laid on my chest and I just kept stroking her hair as I always did while she kept tracing whatever it was she was tracing on my chest. She looked like she had something to say too but I didn’t want to disturb her or pressure her too much, she would let it out eventually. The th
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY TWO: KIDNAP(1)
The ring from my phone woke me up from my deep slumber, I opened my eyes to see that it was already bright, Alannah wasn’t in the room. “How long have I slept for?” I asked myself, squinting and scanning the room, I found my phone. “Hello.” I said into the phone, I’ve been receiving more calls than usual these past few days, I waited for a response but there was none. “Hello?” I said again and this time, I heard what sounded like muffled noises, opening my eyes widely. “Hello.” I called and this time, I was already frustrated. “Okay, sorry about that. I was, uhm, busy. With something.” The voice said, it sounded familiar, it was the same voice that had spoken with me yesterday. “What do you want?” I asked as I groaned. “Actually, I don’t want anything, I really just wanted to pass an information.” The voice said, clearly testing my patience and trying to see how much longer I can hold on for. I kept quiet, said nothing and waited for “anonymous” to speak. “But be
ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER FORTY THREE: Visit from Steve
**ALANNAH** “They were what?” I screamed, terrified. “Kidnapped.” Connor replied “But, they’re fine now, thanks to Uncle Matt.” Connor smiled and all of us let out a breath of relief. Connor was smiling and happy they’re safe but I am more terrified now, Connor’s dad would go too far to get Connor to step down and hand Ace over to him, “what is it about Ace anyway?” I thought to myself. “Who am I kidding? Ace is the biggest name in America, so of course it’s a really big deal” I shrugged. I’ve thought about telling Connor about my Uncle and my pregnancy, but with everything going on, I probably won’t. “Alannah, they’re fine now and under protection. You don’t need to worry.” Connor said, placing his hands on my shoulder, he probably saw that I was worried and he thought of clearing it. “I know.” I whispered and closed my eyes. “There’s something I need to tell you Connor.” I opened my eyes and turn to look at him. “Okay? What is it?” Connor laughed as he f
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
