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 81As Connor led Annah towards the large living room, he thought about everything that had happened and he knew he needed to protect her at all cost. If the police came, which he knew wasn't possible because no one would ever know, he would take the blame for her death. Annah had suffered a lot for him to allow her to continue suffering and he realized that that was what he was going to do."Here, please sit down here. Martha would tend to you, I'm so sorry about this." Connor sighed.All Annah could do was nod her head. She never expected she could do what she did and the reason she had done that was the anger that passed through her in that moment. Rita justified what she had done based on the jealousy she had for her."What do I have that Rita would be jealous of? I mean, look at me." she shook.Connor didn't want to look at her because he knew what he would see. He would see all the hurt, pain and sadness she had kept hidden within her for a long time."Connor, look at me!
Chapter 82"What way? Anyway, anywhere is acceptable at this point." Connor said.Russo, who had been silent ever since Hans came in, thought about everything he had said and he really wished that whatever he had proposed worked out for them. They needed to find a way to stop Michael before it was too late. As they spoke, they didn't know what he could be doing to the baby which was the worst thing ever. Michael was as vicious as anything and they all knew that it wouldn't take him time to enact his revenge by any means at all."We will use one of them inside the mansion," Hans said.There was a small silence among them and Hans just knew that they were thinking about it. He had thought about the likely ways they could infiltrate the mansion and every way he had thought about didn't seem to work except that and he knew he needed to act on it before his agent gave up."You have a spy in there?" Russo asked."Yes sir, I do. He's Michael's head chef and he goes by the name of Orlando. I
