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 25
Chapter 25Connor sat across from Russo, his face filled with worry and frustration. He took a deep breath before finally finding the courage to speak. "Russo, I need to tell you something," he began, his voice filled with a mix of regret and sadness. "I tried to talk to Annah, to beg for her forgiveness, but she didn't listen to me."Russo's brows furrowed, concern evident in his eyes. "What happened, Connor? Why wouldn't she listen? I thought you were already making so much effort?" He asked.Connor's gaze dropped to his hands, clasped tightly together in his lap. "I messed up, Russo. You know I made a terrible mistake, and it hurt her deeply. I thought that if I explained myself, if I could just get her to understand, we could work things out but she didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to give me a chance to make things right."Russo leaned forward, his voice filled with sincerity. "I'm sorry to hear that, Connor. I know how much she means to you. But sometimes, when we hurt so
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 26
Chapter 26It felt like Connor heard something different after Russo said those words. Poison? He couldn't understand what he was saying. How on earth could she be poisoned when he was the one practically giving her food to eat."I… i don't understand." Connor murmured.He staggered back, hardly believing what Russo just said. There was nothing he could think about that could point him to how exactly she was poisoned. Everything was a dream to him now, a very bad dream he desperately wanted to wake up from."I really don't know how this happened but it has to be from her food or a drink. Besides you, who else brings her food?" he asked.Connor thought hard about this and he had no idea who was responsible for this. No name was coming to mind except his maids."Except the maids, no one else comes to mind." Connor said.He stared at Annah, her breathing coming in shallow gasps now. All he was seeing now was a nightmare, a nightmare he desperately wanted to wake up from."Then we need to
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Connor walked into his home office, scattering everything on his table. There were many things going on within his head, things he couldn't quite put a finger on and he hated not knowing the next thing to do. Annah was in a dire situation and he needed to find out who was responsible for her poisoning before it was too late. "CCTV footage… that's what I need." he murmured. He rushed towards the main building where all of his security staff were located. He knew that before he left, he would surely get what he wanted and he wasn't going to waste anymore time on it. In the dimly lit security room he paced nervously as he waited for his Chief Security Officer, Simon, to arrive. His heart raced with concern for Annah, the woman he deeply cared for, the woman he would kill for. "I have to get to the root of this," he seethed. He paced again, thinking about all the possible scenarios that must have happened to Annah before the actual poisoning. Someone had done that, he was v
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 28
Chapter 28"Mommy, mommy."The childs' voice echoed loudly in her ears as she struggled to wake up. Still, she couldn't get a grip of herself because it just seemed like everytime she tried, the child's voice drew her back, making sure that she didn't go anywhere. It was suffocating and also very sad and she hated feeling this way."No, I'm a baby. Please, hold on for mommy," she screamed.She thrashed on the bed, not caring if she hit anyone beside her or not. All she was really after was her redemption, an end to this emotional torture she was facing. Finally, the noises stopped and everything was silent within her head.Slowly but with fear in her heart, Annah opened her eyes to see Connor and Russo looking down at her with fear also in their eyes.It was one thing to be scared and another thing for the people who are caring for you to also be scared. She didn't know what was happening but one thing she knew was that she had to snap out of whatever was going on. She had a bad dream

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
