The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 40
Chapter 40Annah couldn't believe how swift and smooth the car was. The way she drove off into the night seamlessly without any hitch was something she hadn't experienced in a long time. She remembered her car, the rusty old peugeot she had been using to transport herself to school and she knew she could never make a comparison with the two. This was class, elegance and wealth and she knew that if it were in other circumstances and they had met differently, she might have given Connor a chance."I just can't do that with him here," she sighed.There was no way she could backtrack on what she had already vowed on. Doing that would only make her a hypocrite and that was something she would never do. She had vowed to deal with him, to make him pay for everything he had done to her and she wasn't going to go back on her promise.She moved on smoothly, bypassing light traffic that was on the road. She knew just where she was going and the only thing that she hoped for at that moment was th
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 41
Chapter 41Annah's heart pounded with excitement as she danced to the fast beat, surrounded by a sea of bodies in the dimly lit club. The vibrant strands of lights painted the room with ever-changing colors, adding to the electrifying atmosphere. It was one of those rare nights where she felt completely alive, forgetting all her worries and cares."Why didn't I do this ever since?" she sighed.Lost in the rhythm, Annah twirled and swayed with newfound friends she had met on the dance floor. The music was intoxicating, and she felt like she was on top of the world. Little did she know that just a few blocks away, Connor was frantically searching for her.In the club's midst, Annah didn't even realize that the car had been tracked and soon, a mighty showdown would begin soon.Meanwhile, Connor's worry intensified with each passing moment. He tried to call every club he knew, but they hadn't seen her either. The thought of Annah alone in the chaos of the city was unsettling, and he could

Chapter 42"Any news yet?" Connor asked as soon as he stepped into the parking lot.He knew he had missed Annah by a hair's breadth and he completely blamed himself for it. If he had been more observant, he would have known when she slipped out of the bar. Now, he had to face the reality that he might never see her again."No sir," one of his men said.Connor groaned out in frustration, hitting the tyre of the SUV she had used. As soon as he got to the club, he had ordered the men to shut it down and ask everyone to stay where they were but yet, he didn't find her. His men had been very swift and thorough as they searched each person but yet, she was nowhere to be found. He couldn't imagine her escaping when his men were the best at what they did."Goddamn it!" he barked.Now, she was out in the open and he had no idea where she might be. The man he had shot just before coming here was the least of his worries because he knew he was the cause of everything. If he had come to confirm f

Chapter 43"We are here, miss." the cabbie murmured.Looking at her through the rearview mirror, he realized that she was fast asleep which was something he never expected. Now, he didn't even know how he was going to wake her up and get her inside because he knew it would be a bit hard. For one, she was drunk and waking up a drunk person who was fast asleep was a very bad thing."Oh dang it! I really don't get paid enough for this shit," he sighed.He looked at where he had dropped her and he discovered it was a quaint bungalow which had screamed 'homely'. The lights were on and he realized that the occupants of the house were probably still awake. What he didn't understand was why they would situate their house very far from the city center. As he drove on, he had thought about this and the house was very far from anywhere at all. There were no neighbors, that much he could tell and the next available house was about a mile away."What sort of human is this?" he sighed.Sometimes, h

Chapter 44Matt remained rigid, listening to every one of his words. He didn't know if what he was hearing from Fred, the professor, was real or a figment of his imagination but all he knew was that what he was saying had to be looked into. Something was going on and he hated to think that Annah was at the center of it all."You aren't kidding right?" Matt asked, wishing this not to be true."Does it look like I'm joking? If you still want further proof, I'll scan and send you a copy of the police report and her photo pasted on the New York daily times. I'm not shitting you man, she's been declared missing for a very long time now," Fred snapped.Matt took no offense in how he talked because he knew that if he was in his shoes, he would probably behave the same way. Declaring someone missing and then suddenly hearing that the person has been found and in the most unusual way was something that didn't happen all the time."I'm sorry… I shouldn't have snapped, I'm sorry." Fred sighed."
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 45
Chapter 45"Annah," Matt whispered, rising to his feet.He didn't know what to do at that moment. He didn't know whether to run and hug her and cradle her in his arms or he should simply stay put and watch what she does next. Everything was very confusing for him and he hated not knowing what to do.Finally, she ran towards him, her tears falling down in torrents now as she hugged him, crying her eyes out. Now, he was beyond convinced that something had happened, something bad that shouldn't have happened had taken place."It's okay baby, it's okay. You are in safe hands now," Matt sighed, running his fingers through her hair.Kate walked in with a tray of coffee, all three sitting in their mugs. She placed the tray on the table, taking a seat close to them as she gave Annah's hands a gentle squeeze. The last time she had seen her, she had been a little girl and she remembered how inquisitive she had been, always wanting to know stuff and read things that were beyond her level."It's
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 46
Chapter 46"Any sign of her yet?" Russo asked as soon as Connor stepped into the living room.It's been two days since Annah went missing and everything, every method they had used in trying to find her had proved abortive. It was a mystery because Connor's men had never failed before and seeing them do this now proved that Annah didn't want to be seen. His men were thorough, they had contacts all over the place and Russo knew that finding Annah wasn't supposed to be difficult but here they were, nothing to show for it."No," Connor simply said.He had been a skeleton of himself for so many days now, thinking about everything that had happened and then falling into a depressive state. Russo didn't know what to tell him anymore because assurances weren't going to help matters at all. It was only when he saw Annah that he would truly be alright. Russo sighed, slumping on the couch, a tired mess. There was nothing he hadn't thought about, nothing he hadn't devised in his head that could
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 47
Chapter 47"How are you feeling now?" Kate asked.It was mid afternoon and Annah had practically slept all morning, not that she was complaining, far from it. As a matter of fact, she even loved how she was sleeping because it would help her to relax especially after her harrowing experience at the house."Better, thank you ma'am," Annah smiled."Oh please, call me Kate. Kate is fine," she smiled.Annah smiled, looking out of the window as Kate prepared a steaming bath water for her. This was the moment she had felt so relaxed in a very long time and she knew that she was never leaving here. There was no way on earth that Connor could find her because this place was cut off from the rest of the town. It was just a small community of its own and her uncle's house happened to be the only one. They reared their chickens themselves and Annah could hear some goats bleating at the back which just told her that they also reared their livestock themselves.Sometimes, she wondered why they dec

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
