Chapter 53

"Do you guys go out at all? I mean do you take walks or go to the mall?" Annah asked.

It was evening time, two weeks after she showed up on their doorstep, drunk and almost dead. There were many things she was grateful for and she loved being here, but still, she wanted human interaction, someone she could talk to asides her uncle and his wife and she longed for that interaction.

"We do but only if it's absolutely necessary," Matt said, walking into the kitchen.

He was holding several nylon bags of things he had bought and Annah knew that he had just come back from outside.

"You went out?" she asked.

"Yeah, I needed to get some things for the house." he smiled.

He placed the bag on the kitchen counter, going over to the sink to wash his hands. He smiled at his wife, giving her a small kiss on her lips. Annah sighed, longing for something like that but deep down, she knew she might never get it because she had never really loved any man. Instead, she had been used.

    Chapter 54As soon as Connor's car pulled to a stop in his driveway, he sat back, thinking about everything that was about to happen in the next few minutes, heck, probably for the rest of his life. He was finally going to meet the child he hadn't known all his life and he didn't even know what to do or how to act."It's finally happening," he murmured.In that moment, he hated what he had almost done with the lady at the bar and he thanked his lucky stars that his men had quickly called his attention to the news they got. That was his only saving grace and he knew that if they hadn't come in that moment, he could have fallen for her charms and done something he would forever live to regret."Boss, Rita and the child are in the living room." one of his men said."Thanks. Please, call Russo and also tell him what's happening. I need a medical check on my son."My son… The word sounded very funny to him because he had never had the need to use it but now that his flesh and his blood wer

    Chapter 55"The professor should be here soon," Matt said.Last night, the professor had called him to tell him that he would be booking an early flight to the city because according to him, "he didn't trust Connor."Matt knew he was right because with the way he had behaved to Annah, he couldn't be trusted at all. He had been very bad to her, used her against her will and humiliated her in the worst most humane way possible. That was something he would never be able to forgive and he couldn't wait to get his hands on him and teach him the lesson of his life."Really? I thought he said in a months' time?" Annah asked.She was genuinely surprised because she hadn't expected him to be here so soon but all the same, she was happy that he was coming. She had missed him and having him here would no doubt ease her tensed up heart."Yes but I guess he has a reason, so let's wait until he comes." Matt said."What time would he be arriving?" Annah asked.She didn't know why she was feeling anx

    Chapter 56Connor went over to where Martha was to see how his baby was doing. He still couldn't believe that his child was here, in the flesh after searching for him for hours. This was purely a miracle and he knew he had to thank his men for a job well done. If they hadn't been serious about it, he knew that they would never have found him or Rita for that matter."You're here," Martha smiled.She was cradling his son, feeding him a bottle and watching him eat was the most beautiful thing Connor had ever seen. He looked so innocent, so pure and he knew he would gladly lay down his life for his son. It was the only thing he could do and he wasn't going to allow a fly to touch him."He's so handsome, just like your child," Martha said.Connor was completely lost for words as he didn't even know what to make out from having his son here after not seeing him for a long time. This was the first time he was seeing his son and he couldn't get the feeling of love out of his mind. "He's rea

    Chapter 57"They should be here any minute now," Kate said.It's been over a few hours since Matt left and Annah knew that they should be here anytime soon. She knew that his plane would have landed and they should probably be on their way and with each passing minute, her anxiety grew more and more. She couldn't believe that she was going to see him after so many years."For the second time young lady, why do you look like you're about to have a heart attack," Kate chuckled.Annah knew that she couldn't deny it and she had to come clean to her. It was for the best if she wanted to have peace within her. "Okay, I have a confession to make." Annah sighed.She didn't know how she was going to say this but she knew she just had to say it anyway because there was no better way than to just say it."I have a crush on him," she blurted.If Kate was surprised by what she said, she did a good job of hiding her reaction. Annah expected her to spit out the water she was drinking but she did no

    Chapter 58"I think it's time for me to pay Rita a visit," Connor said, rising to his feet.Russo finally got back to the mansion after what seemed like eternity and Connor didn't know how much he had missed the old man until he walked through the main front doors. It was a sight to behold and it just felt like he hadn't seen him in years when in reality it was just a week. When Russo saw the child, he was filled with immense joy and happiness because finally, Connor had gotten what he wanted the most."He looks just like you," Russo had said.He cradled the child, cooing to it as he danced around with the baby. It was a funny sight because Connor couldn't believe that Russo, the medical doctor, a well respected man could be this funny. It took all of Connor not to film the moment and he completely loved it.Now, since all of that was over, it was time to face the woman who had taken his joy away from him for a very long time. When he saw her, he didn't know what he would do but one t

    Chapter 59"Are you okay Annah? You look like you've seen a ghost," Matt chuckled.Ever since he returned from bringing Fred from the airport, Annah had been acting strangely and he had noticed it. Her face was chalk white, like she had seen something she wasn't supposed to see. It surprised him to end because she wasn't usually like this."Oh, I didn't tell you." Kate chuckled.Annah knew what she was about to say and she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear it from her but there was nothing she could do about it because the cat was already out of the bag."Tell me what?" Matt asked, a confused expression on his face."Annah has a crush on Fred, had it since when she was still in school." Kate said finally.Annah expected Matt to scream and shout especially since she was in a mess now but what she did not expect was for him to smile like all of this was some funny joke."Really?" he chuckled."Yes," Kate said.In all of this, Annah was tongue-tied. She didn't know what to say because ev

    Chapter 60If Rita could run and hide, she would have done that but she knew it wasn't possible because she was locked in the house and there was possibly no way she could leave. As it stood, she knew that Connor had placed the house in a total lockdown and there was possible no way she could get out of here without being caught. As it stood, she was in a very dicey situation and she knew that it would only take a stroke of luck for her to survive today."I believe we need to talk," Connor said, dragging a chair.He placed the chair in front of her, sitting on it as he looked at her with so much anger in his eyes and a deadly smirk that would no doubt kill her. He was just trying to respect Martha and Russo's words by not killing her the moment he stepped foot into the room and coming down here, he realized that what they said was true. Since she had kept his son alive, he could just give her that leverage and not kill her immeadiately even though that was what he wanted to do."I… I'

    Chapter 61"It's okay, please stop crying. You know I hate to see you like this," Fred said.Annah had been inconsolable. It just felt like she had finally allowed the water works to flow down freely since he came. She wasn't holding back and she wanted him to see the depth of her pain and everything she had suffered in Connor's hands."It's okay," Fred sighed, comforting her.Finally, after what felt like hours, Annah stopped crying. Her eyes were puffy and she realized that she had messed up his shirt with her tears and snot. Her cheeks turned pink immediately and she felt embarrassed."Oh sorry, I've messed up your shirt." she chuckled."The shirt is nothing, it's fine." Fred smiled.He pulled it over his head and Anna's eyes widened when she saw how built he was. She knew he was built normally but seeing this now just told her that he had been a regular person at the gym.She looked away quickly, not wanting to be drawn to him when she was battling with her mental health.

    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

  • 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

    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
