The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 17
Chapter 17"Where are you on the issue of Kelvin?'' Connor asked his men through the phone.It's been over forty eight hours since they left to search for Kelvin but yet, there haven't been any reports from them and Connor was beginning to worry because his men didn't usually give radio silence like this and it was giving him several causes for concern."We are very close to him boss and I can assure you that very soon, he'll be there with you.'' he said."Alright, please put more pressure on the search." Connor said before cutting the call.He sighed, looking at nothing in particular. If he had any idea that the issues he had been facing would escalate to this, he would never have ventured into it. He had no idea and it hurt him to know that there was possibly no way he could go back and correct the wrongs of the past.Tired of thinking, Connor rose up to his feet, heading outside and towards the hallway. He passed Annah's room, stopped in front of her door and stared at it. He had a
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 18
Chapter 18Connor walked through the garden, the air filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers within the garden. As he turned a corner, he spotted Annah standing in the midst of vibrant petals, her presence giving a peace he never knew he needed. The sunlight shone on her, making her shine in a soft, golden glow. Connor couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty, his heart skipping a beat at the sight of her."Oh my gosh! She's beautiful." he murmured.With hesitant steps, he walked towards her, his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. "Annah," he called out, his voice barely above a whisper. "How are you doing?"Annah turned her head, her eyes meeting his with a cool detachment. She stared at him with a mixture of caution and resolve. "Connor," she replied, her tone laced with a hint of frost. "I haven't quite forgiven you yet."His heart sank at her words, realization dawning upon him. He had hoped that she would forgive what he did but it seemed that A
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 19
Chapter 19The tension in the air was palpable as Connor's men rushed into his home office, their faces etched with urgency and concern. Without a moment to spare, they burst through the door, their footsteps echoing in the room."Boss, we've got a situation!" one of the men exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of fear and determination. "Kelvin is here, right at the entrance of the mansion. And he's armed to the teeth!"Connor's eyes narrowed, his jaw tensing as he absorbed the gravity of the news. Kelvin had finally arrived and he didn't know what to do or how to act because it had completely caught him by surprise but it was clear that he hadn't come with peaceful intentions. A deep-rooted beef between them had been rising for far too long, and Connor knew that the time for reconciliation had long passed.The weight of the moment hung heavy in the room as Connor's mind raced to process the information. He had anticipated this day would come, prepared himself mentally and physical
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 20
Chapter 20As the deafening sounds of explosions and gunfire echoed throughout the mansion, Annah, her heart pounding with fear and determination moved closer to Russo amidst the chaos. She found him in a dimly lit hallway, just a few meters away from her room, his face etched with concern."Russo!" Annah called out, barely audible over the violence. "I know who's behind this! It's Kelvin! He's the one attacking us!"Russo's eyes widened with a mixture of surprise and apprehension. He had suspected Kelvin's involvement, but he had hoped to shield Annah from the truth, to protect her from the harsh realities that lay hidden within their circle of trust. His voice shook as he responded, "Annah, you mustn't worry about that right now. Our priority is to get you to safety."Annah's determination intensified as she grabbed Russo's arm, her grip firm and unyielding. "No, Russo, you don't understand. Kelvin is dangerous, and we need to stop him. Lives are at stake, including ours. We can't i
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 21
Chapter 21Connor's heart pounded in his chest as he sprinted back to Annah's room, his mind racing with worry and fear. The sound of gunshots still echoed in his ears, a loud reminder of the chaos that had erupted within his once-peaceful mansion. He burst through the door, relief flooding his senses as he saw Annah standing there, her eyes wide with fear and confusion."Annah!" Connor exclaimed, breathless but overjoyed. He hurried towards her, taking in her trembling form and the disheveled state of her room. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"Annah looked up at him, her voice quivering with fear. "Connor, is Kelvin... is he here? Did he make it inside the mansion? Did he hurt people within?'' she asked with fear in her voice.At that moment, she didn't even care about the history between them. At this point, she was just happy that he was alive and she was too. She didn't even want to think about what would have happened if Kelvin had gained entrance into the mansion or to her room
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 22
Chapter 22Connor left Kelvin within the dungeons for a few days with barely any food and water. He knew what he was doing, leaving him there would give him a reflection of what he had done which will no doubt have him spilling the truth faster than he can say his name. There were many things Connor wanted to talk to him about but he was ready to wait, ready to be patient in getting what he wanted from those who thought that it was wise to keep his child away from him."When do you plan on talking to him?" Russo asked, walking into the room.Connor sighed, placing his phone on the table as he stared at the ceiling as if looking for the answers to the questions running through his mind. Never in his life would he ever have envisioned that this was how his life was going to turn out but as it stood, he knew he couldn't dwell on it because it wouldn't take him anywhere but just give him so much heartache and pain, one that he might not be able to recover from if he kept on dwelling on it
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 23
Chapter 23Together with his men, Connor walked towards the dungeon located deep within the mansion. With where he was, it was literally impossible for him to escape and Connor loved it that way. In that way, he would never be able to escape and the fear he would feel within him was going to be a driving force to make him confess faster.Connor had thought about all of this before Kelvin even got here and he knew Kelvin would come to his mansion and he was right after all. "Is the bastard awake?" He asked, walking into the dungeon.It was a dark, dreary place which was basically designed to suck the very soul out of someone. It was a depressing place, devoid of every form of happiness and Connor loved it that way. It put fear in his captive's mind and made them confess faster than they could say their names. It was a technique that had worked so well for him and he knew that Kelvin wouldn't be an exception but deep down, he knew that Kelvin might not be too easy to torture. The man h
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 24
Chapter 24Annah stared at the window with tears welling up in her eyes. She had been like this for a long time and the worst part of it all was that she didn't even know what she was crying about. It was probably the depressing state she was in or the way Connor had treated her and she knew it had to be one of the two. Never in her life had she ever been in a very sad state, without seeing any of her friends, her family and the people who actually mattered to her. It was all a whirlwind of depression, sadness and torment. She had no idea how she was going to go through it all but one thing she knew was that she would never give up.A small knock alerted her to the door and as she tried to dry her eyes quickly, Connor walked in with a tray of food."I'm not hungry, the maid already fed me." she snapped.Annah didn't think that she would ever forgive him for what he had done to her. He had scarred her for life and he wasn't even sorry about it, instead, just going on about like nothing

The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 183
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
