Chapter 32"Annah!" Connor barked as he walked towards where she was.She was trying to free herself from one of his mens' grip but that wasn't happening because the grip was stronger than anything she had ever witnessed. Now, there was no escaping and she knew it somehow.She stopped struggling to look at him with so much spite and hatred in her eyes. Connor took a step back for a bit, not quite understanding why she hated him so much. Fine, before she did hate him but seeing her now just confirmed to him that there was a whole new level of hatred within her that couldn't be stopped."What is going on?" he murmured.He didn't know why this came about. Was it because she had been caught? Or had she somehow found out about Kelvin? Even at that, it wasn't really her business because she didn't know Kelvin and couldn't be bothered about him."Leave us," Connor ordered."But boss… Are-"Connor raised up his hand to cut off his words. He loved that they were somewhat caring about his well

Chapter 34"I heard everything. All of the discussions," Connor said.He didn't need to look behind him to know that it was Russo who had walked in. There was this air around him that nobody else could exude and this was just a signature to his behavior and appearance."Yes, I know." Russo said.This time around, Connor turned around to look at him because he couldn't quite believe what he said. How on earth could he have known that he had spied on them? That was some psychic stuff and he wanted more than anything else to know how he knew."Don't even ask," Russo chuckled, walking towards the bar in Connor's room."I thought you said you don't drink?" Russo asked."I have a bar in my room but drinking comes when the emotions are different but for now, i need a clear head and i need to stay far away from drinks." Connor said."Fair point," Russo said.He returned the bottle because he realized that it wasn't the time to drink as well. They needed to be on deck with everything that was

Chapter 36Connor led her towards the airy garden that overlooked the far away beach that directly faced the mansion. The view was beautiful and in another realm and if it were to be in another situation, this would have been a very good spot for him to ask her on a date but he knew he needed to kill that idea. This wasn't another realm and it sure wasn't another time. They were living in the moment, living in the circumstances he had caused."Are we supposed to stand?" she snapped.Connor sighed, pulling out a chair for her from a table that was in the middle of the small opening within the garden. She sat down, staring at the far away beach with the waves crashing and creating a calming presence she couldn't quite understand."I… I know that no amount of apologies will change anything that has happened in the past but I just want you to know that if it were possible, I would take away all of the pain that I have caused you in the past. Annah, I know I am asking for too much but I wa

Chapter 38The next few weeks passed by in a slow haze with nothing unusual happening. Try as they may, they still couldn't find Rita no matter how much his men tried. Every corner of the street she lived in had been ransacked and the only indication to Connor was that she had probably absconded. That was the only thing that made sense to him and what's worse, she ran away with his child."Does it mean you all don't know where she is?" he barked into the receiver.He hated the news he was getting and he really wished there was something he could do, where he could go to get her. His child's life was on the line and every minute of not knowing where he was became worse. Heck! he didn't even know if the child was even alive after all of this. It was one thing to search for a criminal like Rita but for her to have his child was another thing that didn't sit well with him.Connor knew that he couldn't tell Annah about this because the little hope she had for him on this issue would be das

Chapter 40Annah couldn't believe how swift and smooth the car was. The way she drove off into the night seamlessly without any hitch was something she hadn't experienced in a long time. She remembered her car, the rusty old peugeot she had been using to transport herself to school and she knew she could never make a comparison with the two. This was class, elegance and wealth and she knew that if it were in other circumstances and they had met differently, she might have given Connor a chance."I just can't do that with him here," she sighed.There was no way she could backtrack on what she had already vowed on. Doing that would only make her a hypocrite and that was something she would never do. She had vowed to deal with him, to make him pay for everything he had done to her and she wasn't going to go back on her promise.She moved on smoothly, bypassing light traffic that was on the road. She knew just where she was going and the only thing that she hoped for at that moment was th
