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

    Chapter 29"Connor, I need to tell you something." Kelvin gasped.Even as he gasped, blood dribbled down his face. He was a sorry sight and Connor knew that there wasn't going to be any redemption for him. It was one thing to suffer injuries and another thing to be at the point of death and in Kelvins' situation, Connor knew that Kelvin was at the point of death."Speak before I finally take the last life from you." Connor seethed.Even his men could see that Connor wasn't joking at all. He had finally reached his breaking point and there was no going back. There was so much patience you could give to someone you once loved but as it stood, Connor didn't have anymore patience to dish out.Kelvin's body convulsed with pain, and his breaths were labored and shallow. His face contorted with agony as he gathered the strength to speak through the blood that trickled from his mouth. Connor, his friend, knelt beside him, a mixture of concern and fear etched on his face."In pain... almost...

    Chapter 30"Kelvin is dead." Connor said as he walked into Russo home office. He didn't need to say it with so much emotion because of what Kelvin had done in the past. Thinking about it now, he realized that his friend wasn't deserving of love anymore because real friends would never sell you out as he did. It was wrong, very wrong."I see… Well, we have one less problem to handle." Russo said.Ever since Connor and Kelvin formed their bond, he had never liked him for one day because he saw him as a fraud and a cheat and even in times when he pretended to like Connor, Russo had always seen the fraud in him. He never believed him for one day and he was only too glad that he had finally died."I've sent my men a citywide APB on her. Trust me, she wouldn't have nowhere to run to." Connor vowed.If he had to use all of his resources to find her, he would because his child was in her possession and he wouldn't rest until he recovers his son."I've just been with Annah, she still doesn't

    Chapter 31"What have you got?" Connor asked as soon as he was with his man.In response, his man gave him one of Annah's sandals. Inspecting it, he realized that grass was stuck on it which just told him that she had been at the southern gates very close to the farthest exit within the mansion."Where did you find this?" Connor asked even though he already knew the answer."At the southern gate boss, it appears that she was trying to scale the fence. We found nail marks on the wall." he said."Christ!" Connor gasped.He didn't know what he was thinking. The walls were astronomically high and it was impossible for one to even scale it coupled with the fact that it was armed with electric barbed wires that were always switched on and not forgetting the bull dogs that patrolled that area."Does she have a death wish or something?" Russo sighed, running his fingers through his hair.He also knew how that side of the mansion was and he was surprised that she wanted to risk everything for

    Chapter 32"Annah!" Connor barked as he walked towards where she was.She was trying to free herself from one of his mens' grip but that wasn't happening because the grip was stronger than anything she had ever witnessed. Now, there was no escaping and she knew it somehow.She stopped struggling to look at him with so much spite and hatred in her eyes. Connor took a step back for a bit, not quite understanding why she hated him so much. Fine, before she did hate him but seeing her now just confirmed to him that there was a whole new level of hatred within her that couldn't be stopped."What is going on?" he murmured.He didn't know why this came about. Was it because she had been caught? Or had she somehow found out about Kelvin? Even at that, it wasn't really her business because she didn't know Kelvin and couldn't be bothered about him."Leave us," Connor ordered."But boss… Are-"Connor raised up his hand to cut off his words. He loved that they were somewhat caring about his well

    Chapter 33"I'll go check on her," Russo said, walking away.Connor relaxed on his chair, hating that he couldn't do what Rousseau did. He hated this line that Annah had put him on. He wanted to be free with her, wanted to love her like his own but he couldn't do that because he had fucked up."Boss," his radio cackled in his hands.In that moment, Connor knew that his men had gotten something known and he really hoped that it was from Rita. That was the only news he wanted to hear."Yes? What have you got?" he asked."We have a confirmed location on the subject," he said.A sense of relief fell on him and he couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. Rita had been found but the most important thing to him at that moment was the status of his child. He didn't want to think the worst but at the same time, he couldn't help but think that Rita might have done something to get him off her back. She was as vile and wicked as that and he couldn't put it past her not to do something like th

    Chapter 34"I heard everything. All of the discussions," Connor said.He didn't need to look behind him to know that it was Russo who had walked in. There was this air around him that nobody else could exude and this was just a signature to his behavior and appearance."Yes, I know." Russo said.This time around, Connor turned around to look at him because he couldn't quite believe what he said. How on earth could he have known that he had spied on them? That was some psychic stuff and he wanted more than anything else to know how he knew."Don't even ask," Russo chuckled, walking towards the bar in Connor's room."I thought you said you don't drink?" Russo asked."I have a bar in my room but drinking comes when the emotions are different but for now, i need a clear head and i need to stay far away from drinks." Connor said."Fair point," Russo said.He returned the bottle because he realized that it wasn't the time to drink as well. They needed to be on deck with everything that was

    Chapter 35Annah looked up as soon as she heard a slight knock on her door. She didn't know how she knew it but she just knew that it wasn't Russo knocking. Besides him being in the room earlier, his manner of knocking was different from whoever was knocking now, she just knew it."Who is it?" she asked even though she already knew who it was.It had to be Connor and no other person. She still couldn't understand what part of she didn't want to see him he couldn't understand."Connor, I know it's you. Get out, I don't have anything to say to you." Annah said.Connor could tell that she was angry and he couldn't blame her because if he were in her shoes, he would be angry too but still, he couldn't continue this way. He loved her, that much was clear now and he needed to show her how much she meant to him."Please Annah, I promise I won't take much of your time," he begged.That was the only thing he could do because judging from what he had done to her, it was only fair he begged.

    Chapter 36Connor led her towards the airy garden that overlooked the far away beach that directly faced the mansion. The view was beautiful and in another realm and if it were to be in another situation, this would have been a very good spot for him to ask her on a date but he knew he needed to kill that idea. This wasn't another realm and it sure wasn't another time. They were living in the moment, living in the circumstances he had caused."Are we supposed to stand?" she snapped.Connor sighed, pulling out a chair for her from a table that was in the middle of the small opening within the garden. She sat down, staring at the far away beach with the waves crashing and creating a calming presence she couldn't quite understand."I… I know that no amount of apologies will change anything that has happened in the past but I just want you to know that if it were possible, I would take away all of the pain that I have caused you in the past.

    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
