Chapter 48"We've gotten a secure location for the professor," one of his men said.Connor turned the chair he was sitting on around so that he would be able to talk to his man. Now that they had done this, he knew that finding him wouldn't be difficult. He was going to do a total shut down on the location and ensure that he doesn't escape. Recent findings indicated that he was a very smart man and it was no wonder he had risen to the professorship rank at just twenty eight years of age. Connor knew that he couldn't mess with him and he needed to be extra careful in everything he does."Okay, good. Great job, make sure that you do not let me out of your sight. Monitor everything he does now and ensure that he never leaves the city. I have a feeling that Annah must have contacted him and he might try to leave the city," Connor said.He didn't know how he knew it but one thing was sure, he had a feeling that Annah wasn't in the city anymore. She wasn't so stupid to remain here when she
Chapter 49"Hey honey, are you feeling better?" Matt asked, giving Annah's hands a gentle squeeze.She had given them quite a scare when she attempted to drown herself. They weren't expecting that and they knew they had to keep a close eye on her at all times. If she could do it, it only meant that she might do it again and that was something they didn't want happening."Yes, I'm a fine uncle. What happened?" she asked, a small frown on her face.Kate stared at her husband, giving him a sign through her eyes that it was better that they didn't tell her so they wouldn't make her situation worse. As it stood, Annah was in a very critical situation and the last thing they wanted for her was for her to think that she wasn't good enough for this world simply because she had tried to kill herself."You just… fell," Kate said, flatly.If Annah didn't believe her, she did a good job of hiding it. There was no single emotion in her eyes that served as an indication that she thought Kate was te
Chapter 50Connor lost himself in the music and the fast beat of the momentum going on within the club. He couldn't believe that this was all he had been missing ever since and he hated to think that he had almost ran into depression."This is what I'm talking about," he smiled.Immediately, he walked into the VIP section of the club where his men were and as soon as he walked in, there were loud cheers from everyone around because according to them, Connor was the main man and they were sure of getting free drinks from him."Hey man, it's been a while. How are you doing?" one of his men said.He was Adrian, a fellow billionaire just like him but who had businesses spanning across several cities abroad. Just like how he loved to spend money, he also loved to change women. He was a chronic womanizer and times without number, Connor wondered how he kept track of the many women he had. There was hardly any day that passed that he didn't have women on his bed. It was a very disgusting beh
Chapter 51As the morning sunlight gently streamed through the curtains, Annah's eyelids fluttered open. She yawned and stretched, slowly becoming aware of her surroundings. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she pushed herself up and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. Rubbing her eyes, she rose from her bed and padded barefoot across the cool wooden floor toward the living room."Where's everyone?" she murmured.As she entered the living room, she spotted her uncle Matt seated on the couch, his back to her. He was engrossed in conversation on his phone, his brows furrowed in concentration. Annah's curiosity heightened as she thought about the main reason why she was even here. She didn't know if her uncle had gotten information either on Connor or her child and she hated to think that something bad was going on especially with the look on his face. As she took a few quiet steps closer to see what was going on, the frown on her uncle's face began to clear. The low murmur of his
Chapter 52"So when do we begin?" Adrian asked.In his eyes, Connor could see the determination to help him. He appreciated it but still, something deep inside him told him that this might end up backfiring. The way he had been managing his affairs was good but still, he couldn't help but think that it was best that he handled his affairs without any outside help."Man, I don't know… I'm having some thoughts about this. Do you think I should do this alone?" Connor asked.Adrian took a sip of his drink, thinking about what his friend had said. He didn't know what to say because he realized that this was a very sensitive situation and the last thing he wanted was to interfere in his business but still, he couldn't just sit back and watch his friend battle things that he could very well help him in."I understand what you mean man but i think getting outside help would be good, but it's entirely up to you." Adrian smiled.He tapped his shoulder, indirectly telling Connor that he was alwa
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."I hope y
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
