Chapter 152"Here you go baby, sleep tight." Annah smiled.She placed her child on the cot, watching him sleep for a few seconds before she finally walked out of the room and downstairs towards where she had left Connor. As she walked downstairs, she was quite surprised that she didn't see him again when she had only left him a few seconds ago. She looked around her but still, he was nowhere to be found and she was quite worried because she didn't know where he had gone."Connor?" she called out.There was no answer and she was beginning to get worried because he hadn't told her that he would be leaving there anytime soon. She walked towards the balcony that overlooked the gardens and she was quite surprised that she still didn't see him. Alarm bells began ringing in her head as she wondered where he had possibly disappeared to within a short period of time. Everything was looking very strange to her now and she hated to think that something had happened but she knew that wasn't possi

Chapter 154Annah had forgotten the last time she and Connor had an argument and now, just sitting there with tears running down her eyes, she hated feeling this way, feeling this depression that was slowly setting in and she hated to think that this would be a very long thing because this was something they had been avoiding ever since but now, she knew that now that it was finally out, they needed to address it before it put a dent in their relationship.The last thing Annah wanted was for her and Connor to be separated especially since they were trying to get their relationship back together. It was a very tough decision for her to take and she hated to think that this would at last put a dent into their relationship. No matter what happened, she knew that a part of her was still connected to Fred and it would remain that way for as long as she lived."What's going on dear?" Martha asked, walking into the room where she was with a mug of coffee in her hands.Annah sighed, looking o

Chapter 156"Where is the boss?" Hans asked.Connor stared ahead of him, looking so lost in thoughts that Hans knew that whatever was going on with him had to be very serious to warrant the look in his eyes. He had seen a very cheerful Connor, a sad one and even a defeated one but this time around, what he was looking at was a frustrated man and he hated to think that there was nothing he could do to help him. He knew all about the problems he was currently having with Alina. It was an internal one, one that Hans knew wouldn't be nice to interfere because he knew that this was something they could solve themselves."Connor…" he said again.He had been driving round and around for several minutes and he knew that they needed a pit stop, a place where Connor could clear his head."What? Oh… sorry," Connor jerked, looking in front of him.What he could see was a field of grass and he knew that Hans had driven him here to clear his head. That was one thing he was grateful for and he was h

Chapter 158In the stillness of the middle of the night, Annah tossed and turned in her empty bed, her worry and frustration mounting with each passing minute. The moon cast a silvery glow through the curtains, accentuating her restless state. Unable to endure the uncertainty any longer, she reached for her phone, her trembling fingers finding Connor's number with practiced ease. With a deep breath, she pressed the call button, the phone ringing ominously in the quiet darkness.Connor's voice, groggy and weary, answered after what felt like an eternity. "Hello?"Tears welled in Annah's eyes as she struggled to keep her voice steady. "Connor, where were you last night? You didn't come home, and I was so worried."There was a prolonged pause on the other end of the line, filled with a heavy, uncomfortable silence. Annah's heart raced, fearing what Connor might say."I didn't want to argue with you," Connor finally admitted, his words tinged with regret and exhaustion. "I needed some spa

Chapter 160The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden hue over the tranquil suburban neighborhood. After weeks of uncertainty and distance, Connor's return home marked a long-awaited moment. As he stepped out of the car with Hans walking behind him, he walked up to the front door, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension."I really hope she's not mad at me," he sighed."Well, you just have to take it if she is." Hans chuckled.He made his way towards the back of the house where he could enter from into the security lodge within the house. There were some things he wanted to talk to his men about and he knew that it was best he began with it now as Connor was talking with Annah.Inside their cozy living room, Annah had been anxiously awaiting Connor's return. The weeks without him had been filled with restless nights, unanswered texts, and lingering worries. She had spent many hours contemplating their relationship, wondering why they had drifted ap
