Chapter 141

Finally, 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

    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

    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

    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 145Later that day, as the sun began its slow descent in the clear, blue sky, Connor and his extended family gathered in the cozy living room of their suburban home. The room was filled with the warmth of family bonds and laughter as they chatted about their day.With a twinkle in his eye and a hint of excitement in his voice, Connor cleared his throat and looked around at his loved ones. "I've been thinking," he began, catching everyone's attention. "How about we have a picnic this weekend? I want to spend some quality time with all of you, surrounded by nature and great food."Annah's eyes lit up, and a broad smile graced her face. "That would be the best thing ever, Connor," she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm. "I've always loved picnics, and it'll be wonderful to have the whole family together."Connor nodded, delighted by Annah's response. He reached for his phone and dialed a number. "Hans," he said as the call connected, "I've got a special mission for you.

    Chapter 146"Hey Uncle," Annah smiled.She and Connor had talked about this overnight and they had come to the conclusion that she should talk to her uncle and Aunt to see their side of things before they made any decision regarding their coming."Is that my beautiful niece? How are you my darling?" Matt asked.He was presently weeding in his garden, looking through all the plants he had cultivated earlier that year. As an added protection, Connor had earlier placed a ton of his men in and around their house because he didn't trust Michael not to go after them just because they were related to him and Annah."I'm a fine uncle. How is Aunt Kate? Is she there with you?" Annah asked.What she was about to say concerned the both of them and she wanted her present because she needed to hear both of their views."She's in the kitchen making breakfast. I'm at the garden side, trying to weed out some plants. Is everything okay?" he asked."Yes, everything is fine uncle but there is something

    Chapter 147"How are your people?" Martha asked.Annah had met her in the large hallways, giving instructions to some of the junior staff on what to do and how to go about their daily business for that day. Since she was the eldest, it was only wise for her to be the one to give them the instructions."They are fine, okay actually." Annah smiled.She had spoken to them, hours ago and after the call, she didn't even know what to expect. She had no idea whether they would accept her and Connor's request or if they would simply pass on it but whatever it was, she knew that she had to respect their decisions because they knew what was best for them."The baby is asleep," Martha chuckled.Annah looked down where her baby was sleeping on the baby carrier and indeed, he was already fast asleep. After the call with her uncle, she had rushed to go take care of him when she heard his nagging and she was just happy that she was there at that time because it could have turned into a full blown na

    Chapter 148"Hey baby," Connor smiled, walking into their room.He hugged Annah, pouring all of his love into the hug. He had missed her so much for the few hours he had been away and he couldn't even believe how he had survived without her there with him."Hey love, I missed you so much." she smiled.He kissed her, pouring all of his love into the kiss and in that moment, Annah knew that she would never be able to leave him. She was a part of him and he, a part of her."Me too. How is my favorite lady doing?" he asked."She's doing alright and how is my favorite man doing too?" she smiled."Doing alright too just missed you, that's all." he chuckled.He made his way towards the cot where his son was fast asleep and as he stared at the little boy, he knew that his life was complete."How was your trip? I heard you went to the outskirts of town and you didn't even think to tell me."There was a fake look of anger on her face and Connor knew that she wasn't really angry but still, he re

    Chapter 149"Here, you can just drop it there." Annah said.As soon as she walked into the room, the first thing she saw was Connor, bare chested and with just a towel wrapped around his waist. He was on a phone call and she wasn't surprised because she had watched him take calls at odd hours of the day. She knew that he had just come out of the bathroom and just staring at him now, in that moment reminded her of what they had done a few days ago in this very room. Her toes curled when she remembered how Connor had made her scream towards the sky."Where ma'am?" Eric asked, cutting into her thoughts."On the center table, thank you." she smiled."It's no worry ma'am," he said, placing it on the table before taking a step back.It was then Connor turned back and when he saw them, there was a frown on his face which was immediately replaced by relief because he recognized Eric as one of his men."Thank you Eric, you've been very helpful. You can go now," Annah smiled.The young man nodd

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
