The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 137
Chapter 137Connor couldn't contain his worry any longer as he approached Russo. They had talked about many things and now, he needed to know if Annah and his child were doing alright. The last thing he wanted was for them not to be alright. If that happened, he knew that he would never be able to forgive himself because everything was entirely his fault. The two of them standing in the dimly lit corridor of the room Connor had been recuperating, the antiseptic scent in the air filling their senses. Connor's face was etched with concern, his eyes searching Russo's for reassurance."Russo," Connor began hesitantly, "I've been so worried about Annah and the baby. Do you know how they're doing?"Russo placed a reassuring hand on Connor's shoulder. He understood the gravity of the situation and could see the fear in his friend's eyes. With a reassuring nod, he replied, "Connor, I just checked on them. Annah and the baby are both okay. You can breathe a sigh of relief."Connor's shoulders
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 138
Chapter 138It's been over a week since the attack and to say that Connor had made an outstanding recovery would be an understatement, he had improved so well that Bruno didn't think it was possible. He liked the way he had surmounted all of the challenges he faced and that was one thing he was grateful for and happy about because he knew that judging from the severity of those wounds, he might never have been able to make it."You are really fit now," Bruno smiled.Connor nodded, looking at his bare body in the full length mirror of his room. Russo, Hans and Orlando were also present and they were quite happy that their boss was alright. What had happened to him was one of the worst things that could ever happen to anyone and in that moment, they were just happy that he was able to make a break out of everything."Annah, Martha and your child will be here soon." Russo said."At long last, thank you." Connor said.Hans, who had been on his tablet, tracking Michael and his men's moveme
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 139
Chapter 139Finally, after weeks of not seeing them, Connor's heart raced with anticipation as he stood at the main doors of the house he had been living in. He had missed Annah and their precious baby so much that every day without them had felt like an eternity. He had counted down the days, hours, and minutes until this moment.Annah's face lit up with the most radiant smile Connor had ever seen when she finally saw him. She adjusted their baby in her arms and, without a moment's hesitation, ran towards him. Tears welled up in Connor's eyes as he held out his arms to receive her.With their hearts pounding in synchrony, they collided in a tight embrace. Annah buried her face into Connor's shoulder, holding onto him as if she never wanted to let go. Connor's arms wrapped around her, drawing her closer to him. The warmth of her body pressed against his, and the sweet scent of her hair filled his senses. It was a moment of pure, raw joy.After what felt like an eternity, Annah finally
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 140
Chapter 140"Okay guys, listen up. I think we need to talk about something very important." Annah said.Everyone's conversation died down as all eyes and attention were on her. She was the madam of the house and they knew that whatever she was about to say had to be very important for her to require their attention."Fire away my love," Connor smiled, blowing her kisses.Annah rolled her eyes but inside, she was giddy with happiness because finally, her man was with her."I was just thinking about something just now and I wanted to hear what you all have to say about it." She said,"Okay love, what's on your mind?" Martha asked."Over the past few weeks, we all knew what happened to Connor and how he had struggled to survive and we also know that our safehouse is no longer safe. It has been compromised ever since that bastard destroyed a day that was supposed to be a day of joy and love." Annah seethed.Connor sighed, seeing the look of pain and hurt in her eyes. For as long as they l
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 141
Chapter 141Finally, under heavy security presence, Connor and Annah, along with their friends, made their way back to the massive mansion they had been calling home. As the convoy of vehicles approached the gated entrance, memories of the night they had left in such a hurry due to the attacks flooded Annah's mind. Her heart raced with a mixture of anxiety and relief."I can't believe we are back." she sighed.Sitting beside her in the car, Connor sensed her unease and gently took her trembling hands in his. His touch was warm and reassuring, a lifeline amidst the remnants of chaos and uncertainty that still hung in the air.Annah looked into Connor's eyes, her own filled with a mix of gratitude and fear. He gave her a tender, understanding smile and spoke softly, his voice a soothing balm to her frayed nerves."Annah, I promise you, everything is going to be alright. We've taken every precaution, and we're safe now. Our home is no longer just a place, it's a fortress."She nodded, te
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 142
Chapter 142It was in the middle of the night when Annah woke up. Glancing at the wall clock, she realized that it was just a little after midnight but still, she couldn't sleep and this worried her because she usually wasn't like this. There was something on her mind and it was on the issue of Fred and she didn't know what to do about it. Ever since they had somewhat gotten their life back, Connor hadn't mentioned the issue and she was dying to know what he thought about it. She never expected Fred to do something like that but thinking about it now, she realized how sly and very deceptive he had been and she was a fool to have believed that he had her best interest at heart."Is this a pay back for me not going out with him?" she murmured.She didn't know where all of this was heading and what Fred had in mind but if there was one thing she knew, it was that she needed to get to the bottom of this before it was too late and she needed to know what Connor had in mind. "Baby."Annah
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 143
Chapter 143"Where's Connor?" Annah asked, still sleepy eyed.She had woken up that morning to see the space beside her cold and empty. She had woken up late because she and Connor had spent a great deal of time talking in the middle of the night and they had lost track of time.There was no note from him or even a missed call and her heart was panicking because she didn't know where he was and what this meant."He'll be back soon, he has to get somewhere first." Orlando said.Ever since the attack and Connor's rescue, Connor had given him a job here in the mansion to join the kitchen staff since obviously, he couldn't go back to Michael and the big man had only been too happy to accept it."Okay, thank you. Did he go with Hans?" she asked."Yes and also Bruno," he added.She found it odd that Bruno would go with them but she reasoned that they might need him for something. If there was one thing she was happy about, it was their close knit relationship which was formed from a moment
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 144
Chapter 144"You didn't tell me you were going somewhere this morning," Annah smiled, walking up to Connor.He was bare chested with only a towel slung around his waist. She hugged him from behind without caring if he was wet or not as he had just come out of the bathroom. Annah stared at his back and several scars, more than half of which he had incurred during fights stared back at her."You are looking at my scars… i know, they are ugly." he said, looking at her through the large mirror."No Connor, they aren't because what I see here is bravery and an astonishing dedication to your family to keep them safe no matter the cost. You are very bold Connor and what you did, men can't even do half of it." she smiled, kissing his back.Connor held her hands close to himself, loving that she was always there for him no matter the time or season. There was so much they were going to do together and he couldn't wait to explore life with her because with her, he was assured that things would

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
