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 76Connor was in a haze of pain and confusion as he walked towards the room where he had left his child. There was no baby in sight and now, it was confirmed to him that his child was truly gone. Connor fell to his feet, his heart breaking into a million pieces. It was one thing to find a child and to lose him again was something that he didn't think he could take.Martha sat beside him, her heart breaking when she saw the state Connor was in. He was like a son to her and she hated seeing him this way because she knew quite well that he might never be able to recover from this. This had hit him squarely on the chest and she knew it would only take a miracle before he was healed and that was when they found the baby."What happened? How did this happen?" Martha asked.She was very confused as she tried to put her mind to what had really happened. There were so many questions she wanted to ask, so many things that her mind was trying to ask but the answers were limited. One minu

    Chapter 77"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Matt asked."Yes uncle, I've never been as sure of something as I am now." Annah said.She was ready to face him now that she had gathered all of the strength she needed. She had seen the light and she was ready to pursue it to the fullest. She vowed to no longer live in the fear that had held her bound for a long time. Now, it was a new dispensation for her and she was ready to face her fears."I'm not really sure about this… I don't think it's a good idea," Fred said.All Annah could see was the fear in his eyes because he didn't know if she would survive this. That wasn't what she intended to do, to be killed. She had her own plans as soon as she got inside the house but for now, she wasn't going to divulge any of that to them because it would only mess up her plans."Well, I don't think you should be worried, seeing that you have someone that will keep you busy while I'm away." she smiled.Fred remained quiet, thinking about what sh

    Chapter 78Annah had no idea how much she had missed while she was away and now that she was back, she couldn't believe that all of these things had happened. Her son had been found, only to be taken just a few hours before she arrived here. There were many things she wanted to say, many questions she needed answers to but there were no answers and she hated to think that she was living in a bubble, a glass of delusion that was only keeping her away from death."I don't understand… how? How is this possible? The mansion is secured and not even an ant could pass through without being seen." she said.These were the questions that all of them were asking but still, there was no answer. The baby was gone and there wasn't even any hope of finding him. She couldn't believe that she was taking all of this like a pro, very calm and gentle and it scared her because she was expecting to shout and scream but that wasn't the case. She stared at Russo, wondering how he had aged more than five ye

    Chapter 79Connor kissed the top of Annah's head as he followed Russo all the way towards the room where Rita was in. It had even been a privilege for her to be kept in this room where other prisoners were kept in the dungeon. He knew that the only reason why she was kept here was as a form of respect, because she had kept the baby alive ever since. Russo knew that if the baby had been hurt in any way, Connor would have gunned her down before she could even say her name."Please, stay here. I beg of you." Connor begged.Annah knew that there was no point in fighting him and it was best they stayed united together so they would bring their child back home. What had happened in the past was going to stay in the past and the last thing Annah wanted was to dwell on it. It wouldn't be good for her mental health as well as her physical health and she sure as hell didn't want to pass through all of that again. Now, her energy was reserved for finding her son and that was exactly what she was

    Chapter 80"Michael, fucking michael!" Connor seethed.As soon as Russo heard what she said, his heart stopped beating for a minute. He had a feeling that the bloody billionaire would be responsible for this but hearing it from her just added so much fear into his heart, he couldn't believe what she just said."Are you very sure about this?" he asked her.He needed to confirm because he hated lies and if Michael was behind this, he knew they needed to get a hold of him before it was too late. Rita had kept the child alive ever since but when it came to Michael, he didn't think he could do that. Michael was as vicious as anything he had ever come across and in that moment, he knew they needed to find the baby before it was too late. Russo looked at Connor and he wasn't surprised when he realized that all the color had drained from his face. He was feeling this more than anyone, which was completely normal because he was the father of the child in question."I'm so… so sorry," Rita begg

    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
