The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 125
Chapter 125As Russo carefully navigated the winding, hidden backroads, Annah, Martha, and her baby nestled securely in the backseat of the inconspicuous SUV. The moonlight filtering through the dense canopy of trees overhead cast fleeting shadows on their anxious faces. The air inside the vehicle was thick with tension, each passing mile amplifying their unease.Suddenly, a voice crackled through Russo's concealed earpiece, sending a jolt of anxiety coursing through his veins. It was the unmistakable voice of his informant, delivering the news that he had feared most. Connor had apparently surrendered to Michael. Russo's grip on the steering wheel tightened until his knuckles turned white, pain radiating through him.He had never anticipated Connor to capitulate so easily. A man of his caliber was known to never give up, never one to give up without a fight. Russo's mind raced with suspicions and doubts, his instincts warning him that this surrender was likely a part of a larger, mor

Chapter 126"You guys will stay here for the meantime," Russo said.The safe house where Russo took them to was beautiful, Annah couldn't deny it but at the same time, the very idea of staying here without seeing Connor was something that she couldn't quite believe. For as long as she could remember, Connor had always been her right hand person, the one person taking her hands and leading her right and the very idea that she might not even see him again was something that freaked her out."I know you are scared Annah, which is understandable but this was what Connor wanted. If Micheal had seen you and the baby, trust me, the result wouldn't have been funny so this is the best way that we can keep you safe," he said.Annah understood what he said but still, Connor was on her mind. She couldn't imagine a life without him and in that moment, she knew that she needed to be strong not only for herself but for her child who wasn't a partaker of all of this."Don't worry Russo, I will take g

Chapter 127"He's asleep now," Martha smiled.She placed the baby on the bed, as they watched him sleep soundly, peace in his eyes. Annah sighed, sitting on the bed. Martha knew that her heart was filled with a lot of worry because she didn't know the state Connor was in. If he was dead, no one even knew which made things worse. This wasn't what all of them had envisioned and they hated to think that this was how their life would always be."I hate living in fear," Annah said."I know dear and I understand but I want you to know that nothing will happen to Connor. He is a very strong man and this… we will get through all of this, that i can assure you." she smiled.Martha took her hands in his, giving it a gentle squeeze, silently assuring her that everything would be fine. She knew how this hurt her so much. One minute, you saw and was living with the love of your life and the next minute, you had no idea where he was and if he was even alive. It was a feeling that no one should eve
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 128
Chapter 128Connor heard the faint sound of someone coming in through the only door in the darkened room. He couldn't see because he had been beaten so badly by Michael. The blood streamed down his eyes, blinding him momentarily as he tried to understand and find out who was truly at the door."Well, well, well… I never expected you to still be alive."It was Micheal and with each footsteps of his, coming closer to him, Connor dreaded what he would do next. He wouldn't fold or bend, that was one thing he was sure of and he wouldn't also give him the satisfaction of knowing that he broke him. Connor knew without a doubt that he needed to be strong for Annah and most importantly, his child and he would rather die if it ever came to that than to give Michael the whereabouts of his family. Connor knew that he only wanted them for his own sick pleasures and that was something he couldn't allow him to do. Nothing good ever came out of Michael, he knew it and everyone else knew it too."It

Chapter 129Annah took a deep breath and dialed her uncle Matt's number again after what she had heard him say. Out of shock, she had quickly cut the call because she didn't want to believe what he said. Even as she thought about it, she was still finding it hard to believe what he said, she couldn't believe it at all. As the phone rang, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had been gnawing at her for days. She had to know if what they said about Fred were true, and there was no one better to ask than them."Hello?" Matt's voice crackled through the phone."Hi, Uncle Matt," Annah began hesitantly. "I need to ask you something important, and I hope you can be completely honest with me because it seems I wasn't getting you well the other time."Matt's tone grew serious. "Of course, Annah. You know you can always count on me. What's on your mind? Is it about what Kate and I said?"Annah took a deep breath and asked, "Are you really sure that Fred is working for our enemy, Michae

Chapter 130Hans carried Connor all the way out of the building and towards a waiting van. The more they walked, the more Hans knew that Connor was growing weaker by the minute and he needed to get him to a doctor before it was too late. The beatings and injury he had sustained was something that he wouldn't be able to recover from unless he saw a doctor and he feared that if he didn't get him to see one soon, he would die."Almost there boss, just hang in for me a bit," Hans begged.Connor groaned, more blood dripping from his head and Hans knew that he needed immediate attention or else, it would be a lost cause.Finally, after what seemed like hours when in reality it was only minutes, they got to the van. There was Orlando and when he saw the state that Connor was in, he almost shed tears. He wasn't one to cry easily as grief had taught him a lesson, one that had molded and shaped him to be the kind of person he was now but still, looking at Connor, he knew that no one deserved to

Chapter 131Back at home, Annah anxiously dialed Russo's number. As the phone rang, her heart pounded with a mixture of anxiety and determination. She had discovered something that she couldn't keep to herself any longer. Russo answered after a few rings, his voice tense."Hello?" he said, his tone cautious."Russo," Annah began, her voice trembling with emotion, "I need to tell you something, something I've just found out. You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else about this."Russo, sensing the urgency in Annah's voice, replied, "Okay, Annah, I promise. What's going on?"Annah took a deep breath, her mind racing as she revealed the shocking information. "Fred," she started, "Fred is the betrayer. He's been working with Michael all along to bring down Connor, and you know what Connor would do to him if he found out everything he has done."Russo's reaction was immediate and visceral. He felt a shiver run down his spine, his hands trembling as the words sank in. This was

Chapter 132Bruno washed his bloodied hands in the sink as the men watched Connor's breathing. It just seemed like he was battling to survive, battling to stay alive and they hated to think that this was now the reality of this life, this was how he was going to live. Soon, Bruno was done and as they all stared at Connor's body, they each said a prayer for his recovery. None of them wanted to lose him and they hoped that soon, he would make a turnaround."Is he going to be okay?" Orlando asked, breaking the silence.Bruno sighed, not even knowing the answer to give to that question. When Hans had brought Connor in, he had anticipated just some flesh wounds and son superficial injury but he had got the shock of his life when instead, he had found wounds of various degrees, marks and cuts that could only have been made from one of the cruelest pieces of instrument ever known in the history of torturing.He had removed several things from his body, several sharp objects that shouldn't ev

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

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
