The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 158
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 161Hans urgently called his boss into his dimly lit, windowless office at the heart of their covert headquarters. Connor entered the room and looked at Hans with a questioning expression."Connor, I've got crucial news," Hans began, his voice tense. "Fred, the one we paid off to keep our secrets, was spotted at the border of town. He looks like he's trying to leave the city."Connor, leaning against the heavy wooden desk, considered the situation for a moment. His mind raced through the possibilities. He knew that Fred was a liability, a man who could potentially spill their secrets and compromise their organization's security but Connor also had a pragmatic streak and in that moment, he knew that there wasn't really any need for him anymore as the man himself was very useless."Let him go," Connor finally said, his tone unyielding. "We don't have any use for him anymore. His usefulness has expired, and the risk of trying to detain or silence him might be too high. We'll mana

Chapter 162"Have you noticed that our child is getting bigger?" Connor said one morning.They had just woken up from a very long nap and Annah chuckled when she heard this because in fact, it was true. She had noticed it before and she was just happy that their child was growing bigger by the day which was a sign of good health. There were several things she was grateful for and that was one of them. The ability for a child to grow up normally was something that not every child was fortunate to have and in that moment, she was just glad that her child was okay and was developing normally."Yes baby, he will be six months old in the next few months." Annah grinned.Connor drew her towards himself on the bed, running his fingers through her hair. He tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ears as he placed a gentle kiss on her lips. It was a promise of assurance, a promise that no matter how many challenges they faced, they would always be together and nothing would ever separate them

Chapter 163"What do you think about this boss?" Hans asked.They were in one of their security meetings one fine afternoon at the beginning of the december month. Ever since their encounter with Michael and Fred, there hasn't been any form of violence and that was one thing they were happy about. It had been relative peace and quiet and Connor was happy about that because it enabled them to do things at their own pace without the added fear that something was going to go wrong.Connor took the piece of paper from him, looking through it and within him, he didn't even know what he was looking at because everything was looking so strange to him. The more he tried to look at it from different angles, the more he was left feeling confused and he hated to think that he didn't know what he was doing."Honestly Hans, I really don't know what I am looking at." Connor said, placing the paper on the table.He put on his glasses, picking up the paper again as he scanned through it but still, he

Chapter 164"What have you been up to recently baby?" Annah smiled.She found Connor with his glasses on, sitting on the front porch of the mansion. At that moment, Annah couldn't believe how handsome he was. There was a goodness around him that told her that this was the right man for her and despite the nature of his work, she knew that he had the kindest heart. "Hey baby, come here." he smiled.Anytime he said that, Annah was always in her feelings and she loved that he was always happy to see her. That was one of the things she loved about him and as she sat down in between his legs, resting her head on his leg, she knew she had finally found her peace."How are you?" he asked, kissing her lips gently."I've been okay but I'm worried about you. You've been a bit distant these past few days," she said."I promise you babe, I'm not keeping my distance because of you. I've been so busy with many things that I haven't even had time for myself. Please, don't be offended babe." he sigh

Chapter 165Annah leaned over, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as she looked at Connor. They were sitting in their cozy living room, sipping on hot cups of tea, and the topic of her uncle Matt and his wife Kate's new house had come up once again. Annah had been itching to see the new house ever since they were to move in, and she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer."Connor," she said with a hopeful smile, "I've been thinking. Do you think we could finally go and inspect Uncle Matt and Kate's new house in the estate this weekend? I'm dying to see how it turned out."Connor furrowed his brow for a moment, considering the idea. He knew how important it was to Annah, but he was also aware of the need to ensure their safety, especially with the recent security concerns in the area. After a brief pause, he replied."Annah, I understand you're excited, but I want to make sure we're safe. I'll arrange for security to escort us to the place. I don't want anything to go wrong."Annah

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
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

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
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
