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
Chapter 83Martha sat with Annah in the room, praying above every other thing that she be alright. The last thing she wanted was for Annah to lose her memory after the drugs she had been given. The young woman had been through a lot and the last thing she wanted was for her to be affected in any way.It's been three hours since Russo had given her the shot and Martha wished for nothing more than for healing for the girl who seemed like a daughter to her. She walked towards the bed where Annah laid, feeling her body to see if there was any change in her temperature. That was one of the things Russo had hammered in her ears. He had told her to alert him immediately if there was any kind of temperature change because according to him, there wasn't supposed to be any kind of change in her body at all."Thank goodness," Martha said.She was relieved beyond anything she could ever think of because it just meant to her that Annah was going to be alright. In the next hour or half an hour, she
Chapter 84Annah's eyes fluttered open, her surroundings initially blurred and disorienting. After what felt like an eternity of restless sleeplessness. As her vision gradually cleared, she realized she was in a cozy, dimly lit room in an aura of familiarity. The soft hum of a ceiling fan above her and the gentle scent of lavender in the air were telltale signs that she was in Martha's care."Martha," she murmured.Groaning softly, Annah attempted to sit up, her muscles protesting the sudden movement. Martha rushed to her side, calming her down as she assured her that everything would be fine. With a comforting smile, she placed a gentle hand on Annah's shoulder and offered her assistance."Easy there, dear," Martha whispered soothingly. "You've been through quite a lot, but you're okay now."Annah managed a weak smile, her mind still foggy from the effects of the tranquilizer. She looked around, searching for any signs of Connor, the man who had become an unexpected but cherished pre
Chapter 85"Here child, make sure you finish everything." Martha smiled, placing the tray of food on the dining table.It was now nightfall, a time to eat and Annah who had refused to comb her hair stared lazily. Russo had assured Martha and Connor that it was just the after effect of the tranquilizer and that it was nothing serious but still, Connor had become increasingly worried because he thought that it wouldn't pass. He had never seen Annah look this funny before and deep down, he really hoped that this episode she was going through passed on time."Thank you Martha," Annah smiled.She took a spoonful of the soup and immediately, her taste buds began dancing. She wolfed down her food hungrily while the other continued to watch, a small smile on Connor's face."Slow down babe," Connor chuckled, placing a hand on her's."Have you tasted yours? It's freaking delicious." Annah laughed."Yes, that's Martha's specialty and I can guarantee that in no time, you will be perfectly alright
Chapter 86Annah walked out of the house and towards the back area that faced the large expanse of water that overlooked the mansion. She had noticed that this was her favorite place in the whole house, a place she could come and think in peace without getting troubled. She remembered the last time she had been here, that day had seemed like a long time ago when in reality, it was only a few weeks."Come home to me soon son," Annah sighed.There was so much she wanted to do, so much she wanted to say but she didn't want to jinx it. Her son was what mattered to her the most and she couldn't wait to hold him in her arms and sing to him because she missed him. She made her way towards the large chair facing the sea as she took a seat, allowing the wind to blow her hair and touch her face. In this moment, she felt very intimate with the wind like it was a part of her. The soft gentle caress of the wind on her face comforted her, a silent whisper to her that her child would be found, safe
Chapter 87The weekend soon arrived and Leonard and Russo knew that it was time to set the ball rolling and to get started on their plan and the first thing to do was to have the meeting with Orlando. Hopes and tension were high within the mansion as everyone knew that it was based on the outcome of this meeting that would determine whether they would declare war on Michael or not.Within his large room, Connor paced, thinking about what he was about to do and how he was going to present his case to Orlando. For this reason, he had been up all night and he knew that he couldn't afford to fail the people who looked up to him in this case most especially Annah who had been very miserable these past few weeks."I just need my son back," he sighed, slumping on the bed.He placed his head on his hands, thinking about everything that had happened within the past few weeks and he just knew that he needed to get on with this before it was too late. If there was one thing he knew about Michael
