Lahat ng Kabanata ng ALANNAH: HIS PROTECTOR: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The interior of the house is even more beautiful than the exterior. “This is beautiful!” She shrieked almost screaming with beams in her eyes. “This is the waiting room, it’s where visitors stays when coming to visit while they’re waiting for whoever will attend to them” Nanny McPhee was explaining. “A waiting room? Wow. It’s beautiful” Alannah said, admiring the Spacious waiting room with an inviting white light and the most beautiful chandelier she’s ever seen! If this is just the waiting room, how will the other room look like? Alannah was still wondering before Connor’s voice interrupted.“Let’s go” Connor said, “We really don’t have the time for a tour right now, I am famished and I have a virtual meeting to attend very soon, Nanny McPhee” Connor continued. “Alright, I’ll go ask the maids to set the table, run your bath and of course, prepare a room for beautiful Alannah here” Nanny McPhee said Smiling and Ushering them in.The Living room was even more huge and extremely beauti

**CONNOR’S POV** “Alannah Campbell, Orphaned since she was Eight, her parents had died in a car accident and her uncle took custody since then, She celebrated her Twenty-First birthday Five days ago, actually, I don’t know if she actually Celebrated it” Andre went on, Laughing. “Okay? She was raised by her uncle? Where and who is he? Any educational background? Criminal record and all?” I’d asked. “Yes, I was getting there” Andre replied. “Her Uncle is Eddie, Eddie Smith, Her Mother’s elder brother. He’s a drug dealer and Alannah is too, it says here that she’s also an addict. She’s wanted in Five different states, California inclusive. Heard she ran away from her uncle, with some money and all. So, asides being wanted by the Police, She’s being wanted by her Uncle too, he is really searching for her. Educational background, She’s a 4.7 GPA, Accounting student in college, Girl is pretty Brilliant, Book-smart and also street smart” Andre finished. “Did that help?” Andre aske

**Alannah** What was going on? I laid on my bed as I thought to myself, thinking about how I am going to have a real conversation with Connor without having the urge to strangle him. I and Connor don’t really get along, Now he’s harboring me in his house, meaning I’ll have to wake up and see his face each day and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Now, I wished I have a relative here, but, sadly, the one relative I have is my Uncle back at home and No, I will most definitely not want to go back to him.Occasionally, I get scared Eddie would find me, but, at least I’ll get to Live a little before he gets to know about my whereabouts. I shouldn’t worry about him now. Just when I was getting ready to get to sleep, I heard some strange noises, I have no idea where the sound was coming from and I was not really keen on finding out, I had planned on ignoring the sound and just get some sleep, but, it got harder to sleep when the sound grew louder. “Harder, Faster”

It had seemed too fast, really fast, here I am getting a job offer! A real job offer, a decent job. I couldn’t believe it, I had to ask again. “What do you mean?” I asked. “I want you to come work for my company, as the financial manager.” Connor confirmed. “Oh My God, Thank You. Yes, I’d love to.” I shrieked. I love it and would love to start working as soon as possible as numbers are my most favorite things in the world. I have never really met anyone who loved numbers as much as I do, they’re basically my best friend. Although, I don’t really like the fact that Connor would be my boss, but, that doesn’t matter, working would mean being on a professional level and I will not always have to see him. “I’ve always loved numbers, anything that has to do with calculating and balancing, count me in. Thank you!” I finally finished, still shrieking. “Good, You will resume tomorrow. 8:00am, you must be punctual as there would be penalties for getting to wor

**CONNOR** She hasn’t called back since I had asked Roy to drive her and Lisa to the boutique. I thought with a slight frown, taking a break from my work and picking up my phone. I’d scrolled through my call logs before finally getting to Alannah’s number and I clicked on it. Ring ring came the sound at the other end of the call before it finally connected. “Hello” Alannah had said in her sleepy voice, sounding tired. “Hello” I said. “It’s Connor.” I continued introducing myself like she had no idea I was the one on the call” “were you sleeping?” I asked. Of course she was, what kind of question was that and why did I even call her in the first place, I thought to myself. “Yes, Mr. Connor, the shopping was exhausting and I just thought to take a nap” Alannah replied. “Oh.” I said, did she just refer to me as Mr. Connor? Alannah had just called me by my name with an hint of respect, I initially thought she was being sarcastic, but there was no hint
