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

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 48"We've gotten a secure location for the professor," one of his men said.Connor turned the chair he was sitting on around so that he would be able to talk to his man. Now that they had done this, he knew that finding him wouldn't be difficult. He was going to do a total shut down on the location and ensure that he doesn't escape. Recent findings indicated that he was a very smart man and it was no wonder he had risen to the professorship rank at just twenty eight years of age. Connor knew that he couldn't mess with him and he needed to be extra careful in everything he does."Okay, good. Great job, make sure that you do not let me out of your sight. Monitor everything he does now and ensure that he never leaves the city. I have a feeling that Annah must have contacted him and he might try to leave the city," Connor said.He didn't know how he knew it but one thing was sure, he had a feeling that Annah wasn't in the city anymore. She wasn't so stupid to remain here when she
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 49
Chapter 49"Hey honey, are you feeling better?" Matt asked, giving Annah's hands a gentle squeeze.She had given them quite a scare when she attempted to drown herself. They weren't expecting that and they knew they had to keep a close eye on her at all times. If she could do it, it only meant that she might do it again and that was something they didn't want happening."Yes, I'm a fine uncle. What happened?" she asked, a small frown on her face.Kate stared at her husband, giving him a sign through her eyes that it was better that they didn't tell her so they wouldn't make her situation worse. As it stood, Annah was in a very critical situation and the last thing they wanted for her was for her to think that she wasn't good enough for this world simply because she had tried to kill herself."You just… fell," Kate said, flatly.If Annah didn't believe her, she did a good job of hiding it. There was no single emotion in her eyes that served as an indication that she thought Kate was te
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 50
Chapter 50Connor lost himself in the music and the fast beat of the momentum going on within the club. He couldn't believe that this was all he had been missing ever since and he hated to think that he had almost ran into depression."This is what I'm talking about," he smiled.Immediately, he walked into the VIP section of the club where his men were and as soon as he walked in, there were loud cheers from everyone around because according to them, Connor was the main man and they were sure of getting free drinks from him."Hey man, it's been a while. How are you doing?" one of his men said.He was Adrian, a fellow billionaire just like him but who had businesses spanning across several cities abroad. Just like how he loved to spend money, he also loved to change women. He was a chronic womanizer and times without number, Connor wondered how he kept track of the many women he had. There was hardly any day that passed that he didn't have women on his bed. It was a very disgusting beh
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 51
Chapter 51As the morning sunlight gently streamed through the curtains, Annah's eyelids fluttered open. She yawned and stretched, slowly becoming aware of her surroundings. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she pushed herself up and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. Rubbing her eyes, she rose from her bed and padded barefoot across the cool wooden floor toward the living room."Where's everyone?" she murmured.As she entered the living room, she spotted her uncle Matt seated on the couch, his back to her. He was engrossed in conversation on his phone, his brows furrowed in concentration. Annah's curiosity heightened as she thought about the main reason why she was even here. She didn't know if her uncle had gotten information either on Connor or her child and she hated to think that something bad was going on especially with the look on his face. As she took a few quiet steps closer to see what was going on, the frown on her uncle's face began to clear. The low murmur of his
The Mafia Lord wants his baby back Chapter 52
Chapter 52"So when do we begin?" Adrian asked.In his eyes, Connor could see the determination to help him. He appreciated it but still, something deep inside him told him that this might end up backfiring. The way he had been managing his affairs was good but still, he couldn't help but think that it was best that he handled his affairs without any outside help."Man, I don't know… I'm having some thoughts about this. Do you think I should do this alone?" Connor asked.Adrian took a sip of his drink, thinking about what his friend had said. He didn't know what to say because he realized that this was a very sensitive situation and the last thing he wanted was to interfere in his business but still, he couldn't just sit back and watch his friend battle things that he could very well help him in."I understand what you mean man but i think getting outside help would be good, but it's entirely up to you." Adrian smiled.He tapped his shoulder, indirectly telling Connor that he was alwa

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
