Chapter 142It was in the middle of the night when Annah woke up. Glancing at the wall clock, she realized that it was just a little after midnight but still, she couldn't sleep and this worried her because she usually wasn't like this. There was something on her mind and it was on the issue of Fred and she didn't know what to do about it. Ever since they had somewhat gotten their life back, Connor hadn't mentioned the issue and she was dying to know what he thought about it. She never expected Fred to do something like that but thinking about it now, she realized how sly and very deceptive he had been and she was a fool to have believed that he had her best interest at heart."Is this a pay back for me not going out with him?" she murmured.She didn't know where all of this was heading and what Fred had in mind but if there was one thing she knew, it was that she needed to get to the bottom of this before it was too late and she needed to know what Connor had in mind. "Baby."Annah

Chapter 144"You didn't tell me you were going somewhere this morning," Annah smiled, walking up to Connor.He was bare chested with only a towel slung around his waist. She hugged him from behind without caring if he was wet or not as he had just come out of the bathroom. Annah stared at his back and several scars, more than half of which he had incurred during fights stared back at her."You are looking at my scars… i know, they are ugly." he said, looking at her through the large mirror."No Connor, they aren't because what I see here is bravery and an astonishing dedication to your family to keep them safe no matter the cost. You are very bold Connor and what you did, men can't even do half of it." she smiled, kissing his back.Connor held her hands close to himself, loving that she was always there for him no matter the time or season. There was so much they were going to do together and he couldn't wait to explore life with her because with her, he was assured that things would

Chapter 146"Hey Uncle," Annah smiled.She and Connor had talked about this overnight and they had come to the conclusion that she should talk to her uncle and Aunt to see their side of things before they made any decision regarding their coming."Is that my beautiful niece? How are you my darling?" Matt asked.He was presently weeding in his garden, looking through all the plants he had cultivated earlier that year. As an added protection, Connor had earlier placed a ton of his men in and around their house because he didn't trust Michael not to go after them just because they were related to him and Annah."I'm a fine uncle. How is Aunt Kate? Is she there with you?" Annah asked.What she was about to say concerned the both of them and she wanted her present because she needed to hear both of their views."She's in the kitchen making breakfast. I'm at the garden side, trying to weed out some plants. Is everything okay?" he asked."Yes, everything is fine uncle but there is something

Chapter 148"Hey baby," Connor smiled, walking into their room.He hugged Annah, pouring all of his love into the hug. He had missed her so much for the few hours he had been away and he couldn't even believe how he had survived without her there with him."Hey love, I missed you so much." she smiled.He kissed her, pouring all of his love into the kiss and in that moment, Annah knew that she would never be able to leave him. She was a part of him and he, a part of her."Me too. How is my favorite lady doing?" he asked."She's doing alright and how is my favorite man doing too?" she smiled."Doing alright too just missed you, that's all." he chuckled.He made his way towards the cot where his son was fast asleep and as he stared at the little boy, he knew that his life was complete."How was your trip? I heard you went to the outskirts of town and you didn't even think to tell me."There was a fake look of anger on her face and Connor knew that she wasn't really angry but still, he re

Chapter 150The sound of the phone ringing was the first thing Annah heard as soon as she woke up that morning. Connor had completely destroyed her the previous night and true to his words, she knew that she wouldn't be able to effectively walk for a week. He had made sure of that and he had stuck to his plans.Annah could feel soreness all over her body most especially in her privates and even as she complained about it, she loved the feeling of being claimed by the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. It was a pleasant feeling and the pleasure far outweighed the pain and she wasn't complaining about it.The loud ringing of the phone close to her drew her attention again and Annah knew she had to get up and answer the phone because whoever was on the other line wanted to talk to her badly and she needed to answer the person because she didn't know if it was an emergency. The last thing she wanted was for there to be an emergency and she wasn't there to help the person.
