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
Chapter 105Annah's heart raced as she hurried to her room to fetch her baby. She knew that showing her precious child to Matt might be the key to mending the strained relationship between him and Connor. If there was one thing she knew about her uncle, it was that he was a sucker for kids and she had a feeling that as soon as he saw her child, things might begin to get better between both of them. Annah had forgiven Connor, and she believed he was trying to change, but Matt's anger had been a heavy cloud over their relationship."Please, let this work." she sighed.With her baby safely cradled in her arms, Annah returned to the living room where Matt and Connor were sitting in tense silence. She gently approached Matt and held out her baby for him to see."Uncle Matt," Annah said softly, "I want you to meet your newest family member."Matt's eyes softened as he looked at the tiny, innocent face in Annah's arms. For a moment, he forgot the anger that had consumed him. The sight of the
Chapter 106Immediately, Connor followed Hans towards the control room. The urgency in the air was a lot and Connor's heart raced as he tried to understand the gravity of the situation. As they entered the control room, Hans wasted no time in telling him the alarming news."Connor, sir" Hans began, his voice tense, "Michael has launched the attack. He broadcasted a message earlier, and we have the footage right here."Connor quickly approached the control panel where Hans had queued up the message. The screen flickered to life, revealing Michael's face, his expression resolute and menacing. The broadcast was chilling, and Connor's jaw tightened as he watched."This is it," Connor muttered under his breath. "Hans, we need to act swiftly. Shut down every major operation we have around the world."Hans nodded, his fingers flying over the keyboard to initiate the shutdown protocols. Lights on the control panel flashed red as systems were deactivated in rapid succession.Connor knew that t
Chapter 107Outside his house, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the front yard, Connor was engaged in a heartfelt conversation with Matt. They stood by the old oak tree that had witnessed countless conversations and confessions over the years and Connor knew that for as long as he was talking to him, things would be better for him.Connor had been nervous about this talk because he knew it was coming one way or the other and now it was here. He felt the weight of responsibility settling upon him. Matt had always been a pillar of support for Annah and he knew that he was one person he could confide in. He had seen Connor and Annah's love blossom, and now, with the arrival of their newborn son, there was an unspoken understanding that things were changing rapidly.Matt's eyes, filled with concern and sincerity, locked onto Connor's and the younger man knew that this was a talk that was long overdue."You know, Connor," he began, his voice carrying the gra
