ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: Steve is back
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

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
