Chapter 97"I'll be back okay." Connor smiled before rising to his feet.Annah nodded, watching him leave. She was quite happy that she got what had been going on within her out, now she knew that she would be able to live with herself and still hope that her son would be back home safely.Outside, Connor saw the look on Hands' face and he just knew that something wasn't going on well and he hated not knowing what it was. He walked together with him towards the control room and looking around, he couldn't see anything that told him that something was amiss."What's the matter?" Connor asked."Sir, we were supposed to use the silencer to carry on the mission but we realized that there isn't enough. We will be ten going for this operation but what we have is just six," he said.Connor knew that there was a problem now and they needed to solve it before it was too late. They couldn't go into an operation without enough weapons and he knew that going in like that would be disastrous, not
Chapter 98Connor cut the call, placing his phone back in his pocket as he made his way back to the control room to find Hans. He knew that he would be somewhere around there since he was staying on top of everything that was happening when it came to what they were about to do. He finally found the chief security officer by a corner of the room, looking through a document."Boss, you've been able to get through?" he asked.Connor nodded, giving him affirmation to get the ball rolling. He knew that Adrian would never fail him and he wasn't surprised that he had answered him. Now, four automated silencers were on their way to them and he knew that they would arrive in no time. "Yes, I have. They'll be here soon." Connor said.He made his way out of the room, heading towards his own room where he found Annah arranging the bed. He walked in, wrapping his hands around her waist as he brought her closer to himself. Her body was so warm and in that moment, he loved that he got to live this
Chapter 99"As you got out today, remember the reason why you are going. You are going there to save my son and to bring him back safely. Hans has briefed you all on what to do. Do not fail!" Connor said before stepping back.Annah looked at the small gathering from the window of her room as Connor and Hans talked between themselves. Her emotions were high as she didn't know what to think or even say. Today was the day she had been waiting for all her life and now that it was here, she didn't even know what to say."I will bring your son back, boss. I can assure you on that," Hans said.Connor nodded, shaking hands with him as the men finally left in two unmarked trucks. This was the day they had been waiting for and now, it was finally happening."They will succeed. I just know it," Russo said.Meanwhile, in one of the unmarked cars, Hans gave specific instructions to his men, hammering the need for him to be the one to carry the child out of the room."We will be dropping off a few
Chapter 100The sound of trucks filled the air as Annah sat up immediately, looking ahead of her as she bit her lips, wondering if what she thought was real. Her anxiety shot up again as Connor ran towards the main entrance of the house, not quite believing that they were back. There were several things he wanted to say, several things his mind was taking him to and he hated thinking the worst."Calm down son, they brought him." Russo said.Connor didn't know if he could believe what he said because he hadn't seen his son yet but still, there was a feeling within him that told him that his son was here. Finally, the truck stopped in front of the house."Where is he? Where is my son?" Annah asked, running out of the house.Tears streamed down her eyes as she ran out of the house. Connor followed and the next thing they saw was Hans walking out with a smile on his face and their child in his arms. They couldn't believe what they were seeing and at that moment, Annah cried out in happine
Chapter 101"Hans, give me a breakdown of everything that has happened." Connor said.He and Russo and the chief security officer were all gathered in Connor's home office and as they waited for him to speak, so much tension flowed through their body and they didn't even know what to expect. The tension in the room was palpable, as both Connor and Russo anxiously awaited the outcome of their infant's rescue mission.Hans cleared his throat, his face solemn but with a hint of relief, and began. He knew he needed to get on with this before he finally lost it."Gentlemen, I'm pleased to report that the operation to extract your baby from Michael's mansion went smoothly. We managed to infiltrate the compound undetected, and I can confirm that Michael has no idea about what happened."Connor and Russo exchanged a relieved glance, their shoulders relaxing slightly that Michael hadn't known. They knew they would still battle him one way or the other but they didn't want it to be this soon be
Chapter 102"Connor, I think it's high time you meet members of my family," Annah said.It was the morning after Hans had saved their son and ever since, she had been over the moon because she couldn't believe that she was finally holding her son in her hands. Everytime she looked at him, she couldn't believe that he was here and in the flesh and now that things seemed to have settled down a bit, she knew that she needed to introduce Connor to the people who had stayed with her and took care of her while she was away."That's the people who took care of you while you were away?" Connor asked.Annah nodded. They were sitting over breakfast the next morning as they spoke about it. Early that morning, the baby had been bathed and was still sleeping peacefully in his cot as they ate on the dining table, enjoying the serenity of the compound. This was what Annah had dreamed and hoped for and she was quite happy that she was getting everything he had imagined."Yes, I think you should meet
Chapter 103The day Annah was to introduce her family to Connor finally arrived and to say that she was feeling anxious would be an understatement, she was nervous. She didn't know how it was going to go because she had never done something like this before and to think that her uncle was ready to kill Connor on the spot was another thing entirely.Earlier, she had called her uncle Matt and his wife and had talked to them about coming and the first thing Matt had done as soon as he heard her voice was shout. From his voice alone, Annah could tell that he had missed her terribly and had been increasingly worried when he didn't hear from her after such a long time and hearing her voice now made him happy, sad and angry all at the same time and she completely understood him.Now, they were due to arrive at the mansion in an hour's time and Annah didn't even know how to act because Fred had insisted on coming too."Annah, is everything alright?" Connor asked.She didn't realize that she w
Chapter 104"They are here," Martha said.Together, Connor and Annah made their way out of the room and towards the hallway that led into the living room. It was from there that they would welcome Annah's uncle. With every minute that passed, Annah was becoming increasingly worried because she didn't know how this would turn out. Her uncle could be vengeful when he wanted to be and she knew without any doubt that this had to be one of the moments.Uncle Matt's arrival at the opulent mansion was met with an air of tension that hung thick in the large halls. Annah had told him about her relationship with the billionaire before, but this was his first visit to see it for himself. As he walked through the grand foyer, adorned with priceless art and lavish furnishings, Matt couldn't help but feel out of place."A fucking billionaire but yet an asshole," he spat.Kate placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down but she could tell that it might not work because Matt was too angry
