Chapter 67

"Who could that be?" Annah asked.

After everything that had happened, she was a bit scared and paranoid. Earlier, Kate had gone inside to grab something and as she walked back into the living room, Annah couldn't believe that she was holding a love gun.

"Kate…" Annah whispered.

"No time Annah, get under the table." Kate instructed.

Without wasting another time, Annah did as she was told, going under the table so that she hid herself properly from whoever it was that was knocking so rudely at the door.

"Who is it?" Kate asked.

There was no answer which just heightened both of their anxiety. What were the odds that whoever was behind that door didn't want to kill them?

"I said who is it?" she asked again, this time more harshly.

"Kate, I think we need to…" Annah said.

She couldn't complete her words because as soon as she said that, the knock on the door intensified. Kate cocked her gun again, getting ready to unleash the beast inside of her.

Annah knew that if care wasn't ta

    Chapter 68"How is he doing?" Connor asked.Martha was cradling his son, smiling down at him with love in his eyes. There were many things Connor wanted to do, many good things he wanted to use to celebrate his son's arrivaal but until Annah came back, he knew that he wouldn't be able to do any of that. He was respecting her, being that she was the mother of his child and until she came back, he knew that it wouldn't be wise to do anything."As bright as the morning sun," Martha smiled.She cooed at him as the baby raised up his tiny little finger, gripping her own bigger ones as he laughed in delight, happy that he was in the arms of somebody. Connor walked towards them, looking down at his baby. Everyday with the child just confirmed to him that he was here to stay and he wasn't going anywhere.That was one thing he was grateful for, to hold his child in his arms without fearing that someone would come to take the child away from him. Martha passed his child to him, watching as both

    Chapter 69"We need to leave," Matt said.After making sure that everyone was alright, he and Kate had gathered everyone's belongings. Now, they were in the living room and Annah knew that he was about to take the next line of action.Within the living room, tension stood heavy in the air as everyone gathered close together. The events of the past few hours had left them all on edge, and Matt knew that the time had come to share the bitter truth. They had to leave and he wasn't going to take their safety for granted. He had been hurt in the past and he wasn't about to get hurt again."Listen, both of you," Matt began, his voice hushed but urgent. "We don't have much time. Those black-suited men... they're not done with us yet. Me and Fred overheard them talking while we were hiding at a corner, and they're planning to come back. I saw them outside the house earlier, and I'm certain they're watching."Kate's eyes widened with fear, while Annah's grip on Fred's bed tightened visibly. "B

    Chapter 70"Oh, he's asleep?" Martha smiled, walking into the room.Connor nodded, his mind away from everything that was happening in that moment. All he could think of now was Annah and how she might be in potential danger. He didn't know who she was with and he couldn't vouch for them. He was thinking about them turning the gun against her if the storm hits the roof."Child, is everything alright?" Martha asked.She couldn't help but notice the look of worry clouding his face and if there was one thing she hated, it was to see him worried. She knew that Connor had a good heart but it was the circumstances of life that made him hardened. It wasn't his fault and he hated that he had to toughen up in this manner."They've found Annah," he said.Martha's face lightened up instantly when she heard what he said. For several weeks, they had been looking for Annah and to find her now was nothing short of a miracle. There were several things she wanted to tell the young woman but most impor

    Chapter 71The ride towards finding a good hotel where they could hide from Connor and his men was even harder than what Annah had initially thought. All the hotels they found at the initial stage were either too open or they all had affiliations to him being the billionaire he was."Does this guy own the entire city or what?" Fred barked.He was getting irritated because he couldn't believe that one person had this much power and influence over an entire city. It was one thing to be a billionaire but to command loads of power and businesses was another ball game entirely and he hated that they had to hide from him so he couldn't find them."I'm sure we'll get a good place very soon," Kate sighed.She was also tired and Annah couldn't help but think that she was the cause of everything happening now. It was her Connor wanted and she just had a feeling that if she submitted herself to him, all of this would end.Just then, a look passed Fred's face and Annah just knew that an idea or a

    Chapter 72"But she has to be somewhere at least." Connor barked.He didn't understand it at all. He couldn't understand why she hadn't been found when his men didn't usually fail in tasks like this. This was a very simple issue but still, it had given them sleepless nights and he hated that she still hadn't been found.His men remained silent because there was nothing they could say. They knew they had failed and the only way their boss could trust them again was if they found her. It wasn't going to be easy especially with the people that surrounded her and they knew they had to pull all available resources if they were to get the job done."She still hasn't been found?" Russo asked, walking into the office.There was a look on his face that screamed worry and Connor was sad because he knew how close he and Annah were and for her to be missing now without being found was another ballgame entirely."Yes, she hasn't." Connor sighed.Russo signed too, walking towards the chair to sit.

    Chapter 73As Annah was led deeper into the safehouse, she couldn't believe how beautiful it was. The lights were all on within the house and she loved that everything was illuminated. It gave her a sense of safety because for as long as she could remember, she had always been very afraid of the dark."This place is beautiful," Annah murmured."It sure is darling." Kate smiled.As they walked in, passing several rooms and small offices, Annah wondered who actually financed the management of the building. She had a feeling that it might be a secret society, one that usually financed things like this and she wouldn't put it past them not to be behind things like this.Soon, Paula stopped in a long hallway that had doors by each side and without being told, Annah knew that it was a set of rooms which they would be staying in."Okay, all the rooms are clean and you're free to pick anyone. The bathrooms are within the room so you can take a long shower to your pleasure and when done, you c

    Chapter 74"But that doesn't mean you should drown yourself in alcohol because that would be one sure way of dying faster." Russo said.Connor knew that what he said was the truth but at that moment, he was getting more and more depressed by the minute and he hated to think that his life was about to end. What more was he going to love for when the very person he was living for was gone and could possibly be dead."I know," Connor said.Russo placed an arm on his shoulder, silently assuring him that everything was going to be alright. He knew how he felt and the last thing he wanted was for him to sink into depression even though at this point, he was just trying to stay afloat."Good, if there is anything you need, let me know okay?" Russo smiled.He finally left the room, shutting the door quietly. There were many things he wanted to tell him but the last thing he wanted was to depress him any further than how he was. Connor had been through a whole lot and he gave him a lot of cred

    Chapter 75After taking a long bath, Annah found a set of robes within the wardrobe affixed to the wall and looking through it, she found the right one. It was a cream colored one and as soon as she put it on, she knew she had been transformed into a goddess. The color of the robe blended perfectly with her skin and staring at herself in the mirror, she loved what she was seeing.She combed out her hair, ensuring that it fell in rings around her shoulder. Annah didn't know what she was doing as she tried to get sexy but if there was one thing in her heart, it was that she wanted to make Fred jealous. She didn't know where she was going with this but if there was one thing she knew, it was that Fred would be very sad that he missed her.Soon, she was ready and wearing a short green dinner dress, she made her way out of the room, heading downstairs. As she passed the doors leading to each room, she heard voices from each room and she wondered who occupied those rooms."I'm telling you m

    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

    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
