The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 11
Chapter 11Connor hated what he was feeling, hated this feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. For many weeks now, Annah has been in his captivity, yet nothing has been progressing. At this point, he didn't even know what to believe anymore, because the more he tortured her, the more she seemed to grow resilient.''Or is there something I'm missing.'' He mumbled.He had done everything he could think of for her but yet, she wasn't giving him what he wanted, which just made him worried. There was more to all of this which he was sure of and until he saw the bigger picture, he knew that he might not be able to uncover it.Grabbing his phone, he dialed an agent's number. This man had worked for him in the past and he was convinced of his professionalism and his dedication to what he did.''Boss.'' he said as soon as he picked up the call.''I have a job for you…'' Connor began.''Okay boss, I'm listening,'' he said.As Connor sat there in his office that morning, going over everything
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 12
Chapter 12Connor stood there, completely lost in thoughts as he stared at Russo and the unconscious Annah. He couldn't believe that it was his actions that had brought her to this point and he was battered within him because he knew he caused this. If he had just stuck to questioning her and not killing anyone before her, none of this would have happened.''I'm a fool.'' he whispered.''A big one at that.'' Russo added.Connor wasn't angry over what he said because he knew he deserved every hit and insults. As Russo tried to stabilize her, Connor walked backwards before sitting on a chair that faced the table.''In my line of work son, I've come to learn that there are some people who can not take a certain amount of trauma which just brings me to the question, what do you really want from her?'' he asked.For several minutes, Connor could barely talk as he stared at Russo and what he had to Annah. He realized that what he had done and what she had seen was too much for her to compre

Chapter 13''What have you got?'' Connor asked without wasting time.''Boss, it will be best of you contact your friend, Kelvin.'' his agent said.That wasn't what Connor expected to hear and hearing it now from his agent sent alarm bells ringing in his ears. Kelvin? ''Kelvin?'' he voiced out."Yes boss. He will be in a better position to tell you what went wrong, seeing that he has been the brain behind everything from the beginning.'' his agent said.Connor slumped back on the chair, staring at nothing in particular as his mind went to that fateful night he had met Annah. He never envisioned any of this to happen but now that it had happened, he knew he had to get ahead of it and make sure that he was on track for everything.''There's an issue.'' Connor sighed.Ever since he had paid Kelvin off, he was as good as dead to him and he had no idea where he was. In fact, the last time he was in contact with him, it had been through a phone call before he wired his fee to him. Physicall
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 14
Chapter 14As Annah slowly emerged from her coma, her surroundings blurred into focus. The clean hospital room surrounded her with its cool, white walls, and the soft hum of medical equipment echoed in her ears. Confusion clouded her mind at first, but as her vision cleared, she saw him standing there, watching her with a mixture of relief and concern. It was Connor, the person who had caused her so much pain.''Please… no.'' she croaked.Due to the time she had been out, her voice was now very hoarse and it would take some time before she finally got used to speaking.Fear gripped Annah's heart, squeezing it tightly as memories flooded back—the torment, the manipulation, the shattered trust. She couldn't forget the sleepless nights, the constant anxiety, and the deep scars left behind. How could she ever trust him again?"I hate you." she said with so much venom in her voice.Connor stepped closer, his voice laced with remorse and desperation. "Annah, I know you're scared, and I don'
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 15
Chapter 15Connor, standing in the dining hall of the mansion, instructed his servants to prepare a large meal. He wanted every detail to be perfect even though, deep down, he knew that Annah might not forgive what he had done.Later on, now sitting beside him at the dining table, wearing a simple white dress and her hair tied in a loose bun, Annah stared at him with pure hatred. The only reason she had answered him was due to the fact that he might force her at the end and she would have no choice but to go.If she had her way, she would stab him in the eye with the fork in her hands but she knew that wouldn't be possible because they would have her jailed, faster than she could say her name. The mansion was crawling with agents and she wasn't as stupid as that to get into trouble."Annah," Connor spoke softly, his voice filled with remorse. "I know I've treated you terribly in the past, and for that, I am truly sorry. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."Annah, her e

Chapter 16"Here."Connor looked up to see Russo hand him a cup of coffee, he was happy that the older man never left his side even when he had given him more than enough reasons to. He was the father he never had and he was grateful for all of his love."Thanks." Connor smiled even though nothing within him was funny."Have you thought about what I said?" he asked, sitting beside him.Connor took a small sip of his coffee, allowing the hotness to burn his tongue for some minutes before swallowing. He needed that burn, that thrill to go through him. He felt very shitty for how he had treated Annah."Yes but I honestly don't know if I can do it, Russo." he sighed.He took another sip of the scalding liquid, enjoying the burn going through him. All his life, he had been wired to torture things out of people and for him to start acting all loving and caring was something he found quite odd. He wasn't used to it and thinking about him had him cringing."Why not?" Russo asked, placing his

Chapter 17"Where are you on the issue of Kelvin?'' Connor asked his men through the phone.It's been over forty eight hours since they left to search for Kelvin but yet, there haven't been any reports from them and Connor was beginning to worry because his men didn't usually give radio silence like this and it was giving him several causes for concern."We are very close to him boss and I can assure you that very soon, he'll be there with you.'' he said."Alright, please put more pressure on the search." Connor said before cutting the call.He sighed, looking at nothing in particular. If he had any idea that the issues he had been facing would escalate to this, he would never have ventured into it. He had no idea and it hurt him to know that there was possibly no way he could go back and correct the wrongs of the past.Tired of thinking, Connor rose up to his feet, heading outside and towards the hallway. He passed Annah's room, stopped in front of her door and stared at it. He had a
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 18
Chapter 18Connor walked through the garden, the air filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers within the garden. As he turned a corner, he spotted Annah standing in the midst of vibrant petals, her presence giving a peace he never knew he needed. The sunlight shone on her, making her shine in a soft, golden glow. Connor couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of her."Oh my gosh! She's beautiful." he murmured.With hesitant steps, he walked towards her, his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. "Annah," he called out, his voice barely above a whisper. "How are you doing?"Annah turned her head, her eyes meeting his with a cool detachment. She stared at him with a mixture of caution and resolve. "Connor," she replied, her tone laced with a hint of frost. "I haven't quite forgiven you yet."His heart sank at her words, realization dawning upon him. He had hoped that she would forgive what he did but it seemed that A

CHAPTER 183Connor stared at the reflection in the Mirror. The white suit looked spectacular on him. He couldn't help but notice how much he had changed since Annah walked into his life. His eyes seemed to be lighter. He smiled more often and that was a long way from when he used to think that smiling was an exercise. Well, till Annah came in and changed her. He smiled at the thought. She was worth his every smile. Only the thought of her made him feel alive inside and she couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her. The door creaked open as Hans, Russo and Marcus walked in. He caught the teasing glint in their eyes and tried not to smile. "How do you feel?" Hans said "How the hell do you think he's supposed to feel? It's his wedding"Russo drawled. Connor almost rolled his eyes. Considering the fact that he didn't like to associate with many people, he considered them friends. Admitting it to himself made him cringe. "I know you can't wait to see her," Hans teased. "Ju
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 182
CHAPTER 182Annah felt overwhelmed and slightly shaken from what happened earlier. She couldn't believe that Micheal had attempted to take her away from the love of her life and from her future son. She felt overwhelmed and heavy with exhaustion but at same time she also felt relieved that at least Connor and her son were okay. She wouldn't have had it any other way. She winced as Connor swiped the soaked cotton wool across her bruise tenderly. There was a sort of tension that radiated from him so it didn't take too long to figure out that he wasn't fine. He was more focused on her bruise than at looking at her."You can talk to me. There's no need to keep your emotions away from me Connor" she placed a hand over his arm. "You were about to be hurt, Annah. Micheal was about to take you away from me" he growled lowly and ran a face over his hand in frustration. Annah knew she shouldn't feel relieved at someone's death but she couldn't help it. Micheal wasn't around to torment them any
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 181
CHAPTER 181Annah felt drowsy as she woke up. Her head was spinning and the pounding in her head heightened with each movement she made. Her eyes raked over her environment and the panic began to build in her chest. All she could remember was that she had been walking with that new guard and she'd been trying to make conversation. He had abruptly given her an apologetic look before she had blanked out. She could tell from her drowsiness that she'd been heavily drugged. She looked up at the window in the room. It looked like something like a dark cellar. Alarmed, she decided to call out for help and was met with instant silence entirely. Her mind drifted to her son, to Connor. What if they weren't safe as well, anxiety gave way to full on panic and she lunged up immediately and headed towards the bar of the cellar, she tried to shake it open but it remained unmoving under her grip. Nobody was outside, from the looks of it, it seemed like she would be the only one here."Help. Anyone
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 180
CHAPTER 180Annah felt off and very conflicted. There was obviously something that Connor was not telling her. She didn't know what it was but for him to act so distant, for her to be able to sense his anxiety, it was definitely enough to set him on edge. Martha played with her son and she stared at the empty space, lost in thought. She tried to calm her racing nerves but was unable to. Martha sneaked a curious glance at her. She wondered what it could be that distracted Annah so much. Whatever it was, it must be something enough to set her on edge. Annah son was occupied with drawing on paper. The little boy has taken such a liking to art that it amazed both Annah and Martha. He was able to come up with creative things and each time Annah or Martha came across his art. It rendered both of them breathless. "Are you okay Annah, you've been staring for hours" Martha said as she looked at Annah worriedly, her face etched in concern. "I'm just worried about Connor. He's been behaving
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 179
CHAPTER 179Something was wrong. Annah could sense it from Connor as they sat at the dinner table. He was occupied with cutting his son's food into smaller pieces. Everytime she tried to ask him if he was ok. He would assure her that he was and then would back it up with a smile that wasn't in the least bit convincing. She knew when he was trying to suppress his emotions, she knew when he was trying to keep what he was feeling away from her, all because he didn't want to dampen her mood. She noted the way his shoulders were a bit tight with tension, she noted the muscles in his jaw. She considered trying to get him to admit what was bothering him, but not here. Not at the dinner table. There were maids still serving platters of food that they couldn't even quite finish. She had tried to convince him of the fact that having a near buffet for dinner wasn't always necessary. But he wouldn't listen. He's always insistent in spoiling her and thier son. Hans hanged around the dinner table
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 178
CHAPTER 178Connor felt bothered as he stared at fge screen. Hans stood beside him, his face impassive but he knew Hans was just as worried as he was. They had been unable to get a clear view of the intruder's face. All that they got was the exact detail of his build. It was almost as if the intruder was very conscious about the camera. Apparently, he was smarter than Connor gave him credit for. Hans and Connor exchanged worried glances. It was hard to miss the pasty white shade of Hans knuckles. Connor was on edge, he could feel the anxiety eating him alive from the inside out. It was hard to focus on anything. He was conflicted between flying Annah and his son, preferably to another state and than staying here. At the back of his head, he knew Micheal still found a watch him, Micheal was silently gauging his every move, making plans on the move he would make next. This wasn't something that Connor could rush. This wasn't a decision that Connor could just hastily commence."How do
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 177
CHAPTER 177Annah found it a bit amusing that Hans was insistent on escorting her to the library despite the amount of times she had politely declined. She wondered if the guards following closely behind them were not enough to assure him and Connor that she was perfectly and completely safe. Yet they were insistent on not taking chances. Between Connor and Hans. She didn't know who was more stubborn. Perhaps that was why Connor decided that he was the perfect fit for chief head of security. he was the sort of person that knew how to make decisions for the well being of the people that he protected. Despite the stoic facade that Hans put on Infront of people. Annah knew that he was a man that had compassion and had Connor's best interest at heart. He would do anything to see Connor happy and would do everything possible to ensure he was safe and away from threat. She noticed Hans seemed a little on edge. She wanted to inquire the reason for his mood but decided against it. It was pr
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 176
CHAPTER 176The night felt fulfilling as Annah and Connor returned back to the bedroom. Annah had watched with a small smile on her face as Connor has read thier son bedtime stories and yet she couldn't ignore the unease that clawed at the walls of her stomach. Everything seemed to be going ok. E everything seemed to be good. She wondered how long it was going to last until something else occurred again. When they returned to the privacy of thier bedroom, Connor gently slammed her against the wall, capturing her lips between his within the space of a heartbeat. From the urgency he used to kiss her, it was obvious that he had been thinking about her all day, just as much as she's been thinking about him. The thought made her smile into the kiss as she slid her hands up his chest to wrap her hands around his neck. "I missed you today" Connor whispered softly, the blood rushing immediately to his groin at the thought that he'd have the luxury of exploring her all over. "I missed you
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 175
CHAPTER 175"You're back to the office so early?" Connor snapped his head towards the direction of the hallway. Russo casually leaned against the wall, a look of amazement and worry on his face. it seemed he wasn't going to approve of Connor's immediate return either. Russo eyes ran over Connor quickly, almost as if he was looking for an injuri which were now invisible. The recovering injuries were buried beneath Connor's suit. "Didn't Bruno give you strict instructions to rest?" Russo raised an eyebrow in question. If there's anything he was painfully aware of, it was how stubborn Connor was. He never backed down easily. Russo wasn't sure he knew what the definition of rest was. Connor had always been one to work hard. He liked getting things done by himself even if he knew he had hundreds of people at his beck and call. "I don't work for Bruno, Russo. You know that." Connor said dryly. His gaze returned to the papers that were scattered across the table. Russo took the liberty o
