Chapter 152

"Here you go baby, sleep tight." Annah smiled.

She placed her child on the cot, watching him sleep for a few seconds before she finally walked out of the room and downstairs towards where she had left Connor. As she walked downstairs, she was quite surprised that she didn't see him again when she had only left him a few seconds ago. She looked around her but still, he was nowhere to be found and she was quite worried because she didn't know where he had gone.

"Connor?" she called out.

There was no answer and she was beginning to get worried because he hadn't told her that he would be leaving there anytime soon. She walked towards the balcony that overlooked the gardens and she was quite surprised that she still didn't see him. Alarm bells began ringing in her head as she wondered where he had possibly disappeared to within a short period of time. Everything was looking very strange to her now and she hated to think that something had happened but she knew that wasn't possi

    Chapter 153Annah, now fully dressed, was ready to head out to check her uncle's property. She needed to know if it was in good shape because the last thing she wanted was for them to come live in a derelict place, one that wasn't fit for them."Are you ready to go?" Connor asked, walking into the room.As she stared at him, a mind told her to ask him what he had discussed with Hans even though she knew everything already but still, another mind told her to just keep quiet and go on with her plans silently. There were many things she wanted to say to him but she knew that the best thing she could do in that moment was just to keep shut. The last thing she wanted was to put a dent in their relationship because she knew that this issue would surely make them argue."Yes," she said, finally.If he noticed something wrong with her response, he didn't say anything and he carried on like nothing was amiss. Annah went back to the mirror, adjusting her clothes as she watched him through the m

    Chapter 154Annah had forgotten the last time she and Connor had an argument and now, just sitting there with tears running down her eyes, she hated feeling this way, feeling this depression that was slowly setting in and she hated to think that this would be a very long thing because this was something they had been avoiding ever since but now, she knew that now that it was finally out, they needed to address it before it put a dent in their relationship.The last thing Annah wanted was for her and Connor to be separated especially since they were trying to get their relationship back together. It was a very tough decision for her to take and she hated to think that this would at last put a dent into their relationship. No matter what happened, she knew that a part of her was still connected to Fred and it would remain that way for as long as she lived."What's going on dear?" Martha asked, walking into the room where she was with a mug of coffee in her hands.Annah sighed, looking o

    Chapter 155In Martha's room, Annah nervously approached Martha, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She took a deep breath, her voice quivering as she began to speak."Martha, I... I tried to settle things with Connor today," Annah confessed, her voice laden with distress. "But he's just so adamant, he wouldn't listen to me."Martha's heart sank as she watched Annah's trembling form. She sighed, understanding the gravity of the situation, and reached out, gently taking Annah's hands into her own."I'm so sorry, Annah," Martha murmured softly. "I can't believe he's being this stubborn."Annah's eyes welled up, and a tear escaped, sliding down her cheek. She blinked it away, her voice quivering with emotion. "I know, Martha. I don't know what to do. I thought he'd understand, but... he's just not himself lately."Martha nodded, her grip on Annah's hands reassuring. "I promise you, Annah, I'll talk to him. We'll sort this out but please remember, whatever stress he's under doesn't ex

    Chapter 156"Where is the boss?" Hans asked.Connor stared ahead of him, looking so lost in thoughts that Hans knew that whatever was going on with him had to be very serious to warrant the look in his eyes. He had seen a very cheerful Connor, a sad one and even a defeated one but this time around, what he was looking at was a frustrated man and he hated to think that there was nothing he could do to help him. He knew all about the problems he was currently having with Alina. It was an internal one, one that Hans knew wouldn't be nice to interfere because he knew that this was something they could solve themselves."Connor…" he said again.He had been driving round and around for several minutes and he knew that they needed a pit stop, a place where Connor could clear his head."What? Oh… sorry," Connor jerked, looking in front of him.What he could see was a field of grass and he knew that Hans had driven him here to clear his head. That was one thing he was grateful for and he was h

    Chapter 157"The Mafia community will have my head Hans if they find out that I did what I did because of love. You of all people should know that an act of betrayal is something that will never go down well with the community. We value our loyalty so much that they would rather cut the skin off their hands than betray their own." Connor said.As they sat down on the grass, looking at the sky, Hans knew that they were in a very delicate situation and they needed to be very careful in the decisions that they made."I understand. So what do you want to do? What's in your mind?" Hans asked."To be honest, I'm not going to lie to you man, I am completely bereft of ideas. On one hand, I have loved Annah my whole life but on the other hand, I hated Fred and will do anything to see him go down. I can't believe that he would do something like that but I know I shouldn't be surprised." Connor seethed.He fisted his hands in anger and Hans could practically see the anger that rifled through him

    Chapter 158In the stillness of the middle of the night, Annah tossed and turned in her empty bed, her worry and frustration mounting with each passing minute. The moon cast a silvery glow through the curtains, accentuating her restless state. Unable to endure the uncertainty any longer, she reached for her phone, her trembling fingers finding Connor's number with practiced ease. With a deep breath, she pressed the call button, the phone ringing ominously in the quiet darkness.Connor's voice, groggy and weary, answered after what felt like an eternity. "Hello?"Tears welled in Annah's eyes as she struggled to keep her voice steady. "Connor, where were you last night? You didn't come home, and I was so worried."There was a prolonged pause on the other end of the line, filled with a heavy, uncomfortable silence. Annah's heart raced, fearing what Connor might say."I didn't want to argue with you," Connor finally admitted, his words tinged with regret and exhaustion. "I needed some spa

    Chapter 159In the dimly lit, windowless room deep within the underground hideout of Connor's organization, Fred was bound to a creaking wooden chair. The room was dank and damp, and the air was thick with tension. A single bare lightbulb hung from the ceiling, casting long, eerie shadows on the cold, concrete floor.Connor stood before Fred, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and betrayal. Hans stood beside him, arms crossed, his face etched with stern resolve."Why, Fred?" Connor's voice was low and controlled, but it carried a powerful intensity that cut through the room's silence. "Why did you sell information to Michael, our enemy?"Fred, his face bruised and bloodied, coughed and chuckled, blood droplets spattering onto his tattered shirt. His eyes met Connor's, and there was an unsettling defiance in his gaze. "Loyalty, Connor," he croaked, his voice hoarse. "Loyalty that cannot be broken."Connor clenched his fists, struggling to contain his frustration. "Loyalty to Micha

    Chapter 160The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden hue over the tranquil suburban neighborhood. After weeks of uncertainty and distance, Connor's return home marked a long-awaited moment. As he stepped out of the car with Hans walking behind him, he walked up to the front door, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension."I really hope she's not mad at me," he sighed."Well, you just have to take it if she is." Hans chuckled.He made his way towards the back of the house where he could enter from into the security lodge within the house. There were some things he wanted to talk to his men about and he knew that it was best he began with it now as Connor was talking with Annah.Inside their cozy living room, Annah had been anxiously awaiting Connor's return. The weeks without him had been filled with restless nights, unanswered texts, and lingering worries. She had spent many hours contemplating their relationship, wondering why they had drifted ap

    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

  • 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

    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
