Chapter 55"The professor should be here soon," Matt said.Last night, the professor had called him to tell him that he would be booking an early flight to the city because according to him, "he didn't trust Connor."Matt knew he was right because with the way he had behaved to Annah, he couldn't be trusted at all. He had been very bad to her, used her against her will and humiliated her in the worst most humane way possible. That was something he would never be able to forgive and he couldn't wait to get his hands on him and teach him the lesson of his life."Really? I thought he said in a months' time?" Annah asked.She was genuinely surprised because she hadn't expected him to be here so soon but all the same, she was happy that he was coming. She had missed him and having him here would no doubt ease her tensed up heart."Yes but I guess he has a reason, so let's wait until he comes." Matt said."What time would he be arriving?" Annah asked.She didn't know why she was feeling anx
Chapter 56Connor went over to where Martha was to see how his baby was doing. He still couldn't believe that his child was here, in the flesh after searching for him for hours. This was purely a miracle and he knew he had to thank his men for a job well done. If they hadn't been serious about it, he knew that they would never have found him or Rita for that matter."You're here," Martha smiled.She was cradling his son, feeding him a bottle and watching him eat was the most beautiful thing Connor had ever seen. He looked so innocent, so pure and he knew he would gladly lay down his life for his son. It was the only thing he could do and he wasn't going to allow a fly to touch him."He's so handsome, just like your child," Martha said.Connor was completely lost for words as he didn't even know what to make out from having his son here after not seeing him for a long time. This was the first time he was seeing his son and he couldn't get the feeling of love out of his mind. "He's rea
Chapter 57"They should be here any minute now," Kate said.It's been over a few hours since Matt left and Annah knew that they should be here anytime soon. She knew that his plane would have landed and they should probably be on their way and with each passing minute, her anxiety grew more and more. She couldn't believe that she was going to see him after so many years."For the second time young lady, why do you look like you're about to have a heart attack," Kate chuckled.Annah knew that she couldn't deny it and she had to come clean to her. It was for the best if she wanted to have peace within her. "Okay, I have a confession to make." Annah sighed.She didn't know how she was going to say this but she knew she just had to say it anyway because there was no better way than to just say it."I have a crush on him," she blurted.If Kate was surprised by what she said, she did a good job of hiding her reaction. Annah expected her to spit out the water she was drinking but she did no
Chapter 58"I think it's time for me to pay Rita a visit," Connor said, rising to his feet.Russo finally got back to the mansion after what seemed like eternity and Connor didn't know how much he had missed the old man until he walked through the main front doors. It was a sight to behold and it just felt like he hadn't seen him in years when in reality it was just a week. When Russo saw the child, he was filled with immense joy and happiness because finally, Connor had gotten what he wanted the most."He looks just like you," Russo had said.He cradled the child, cooing to it as he danced around with the baby. It was a funny sight because Connor couldn't believe that Russo, the medical doctor, a well respected man could be this funny. It took all of Connor not to film the moment and he completely loved it.Now, since all of that was over, it was time to face the woman who had taken his joy away from him for a very long time. When he saw her, he didn't know what he would do but one t
Chapter 59"Are you okay Annah? You look like you've seen a ghost," Matt chuckled.Ever since he returned from bringing Fred from the airport, Annah had been acting strangely and he had noticed it. Her face was chalk white, like she had seen something she wasn't supposed to see. It surprised him to end because she wasn't usually like this."Oh, I didn't tell you." Kate chuckled.Annah knew what she was about to say and she wasn't sure if she wanted to hear it from her but there was nothing she could do about it because the cat was already out of the bag."Tell me what?" Matt asked, a confused expression on his face."Annah has a crush on Fred, had it since when she was still in school." Kate said finally.Annah expected Matt to scream and shout especially since she was in a mess now but what she did not expect was for him to smile like all of this was some funny joke."Really?" he chuckled."Yes," Kate said.In all of this, Annah was tongue-tied. She didn't know what to say because ev
Chapter 60If Rita could run and hide, she would have done that but she knew it wasn't possible because she was locked in the house and there was possibly no way she could leave. As it stood, she knew that Connor had placed the house in a total lockdown and there was possible no way she could get out of here without being caught. As it stood, she was in a very dicey situation and she knew that it would only take a stroke of luck for her to survive today."I believe we need to talk," Connor said, dragging a chair.He placed the chair in front of her, sitting on it as he looked at her with so much anger in his eyes and a deadly smirk that would no doubt kill her. He was just trying to respect Martha and Russo's words by not killing her the moment he stepped foot into the room and coming down here, he realized that what they said was true. Since she had kept his son alive, he could just give her that leverage and not kill her immeadiately even though that was what he wanted to do."I… I'
Chapter 61"It's okay, please stop crying. You know I hate to see you like this," Fred said.Annah had been inconsolable. It just felt like she had finally allowed the water works to flow down freely since he came. She wasn't holding back and she wanted him to see the depth of her pain and everything she had suffered in Connor's hands."It's okay," Fred sighed, comforting her.Finally, after what felt like hours, Annah stopped crying. Her eyes were puffy and she realized that she had messed up his shirt with her tears and snot. Her cheeks turned pink immediately and she felt embarrassed."Oh sorry, I've messed up your shirt." she chuckled."The shirt is nothing, it's fine." Fred smiled.He pulled it over his head and Anna's eyes widened when she saw how built he was. She knew he was built normally but seeing this now just told her that he had been a regular person at the gym.She looked away quickly, not wanting to be drawn to him when she was battling with her mental health. If there
Chapter 62"You've gone to talk to her?" Russo asked.Connor walked into the living room to see him eating which was no doubt his first food for the day. If there was one thing he knew about Russo, it was that he barely ate and when he did, it was always so late in the night. He worked too hard and Connor had made it a promise to give him the vacation he needed as soon as all of this was over."Yes," Connor sighed.He thought that all of this was something he could easily get over without breaking a sweat but as it stood, he realized that all of this was bigger than him and the earlier he got on with it and solved it, the better for him."What is that look on your face? I assume that things didn't go well with the woman?" Rita asked.If there was one thing about Russo, it was his ability to tell that something was wrong even without Connor saying anything. There was just something about him that told Connor that the man was very wise in age and in years."Yes. Something is wrong, I di
