Chapter 71The ride towards finding a good hotel where they could hide from Connor and his men was even harder than what Annah had initially thought. All the hotels they found at the initial stage were either too open or they all had affiliations to him being the billionaire he was."Does this guy own the entire city or what?" Fred barked.He was getting irritated because he couldn't believe that one person had this much power and influence over an entire city. It was one thing to be a billionaire but to command loads of power and businesses was another ball game entirely and he hated that they had to hide from him so he couldn't find them."I'm sure we'll get a good place very soon," Kate sighed.She was also tired and Annah couldn't help but think that she was the cause of everything happening now. It was her Connor wanted and she just had a feeling that if she submitted herself to him, all of this would end.Just then, a look passed Fred's face and Annah just knew that an idea or a

Chapter 73As Annah was led deeper into the safehouse, she couldn't believe how beautiful it was. The lights were all on within the house and she loved that everything was illuminated. It gave her a sense of safety because for as long as she could remember, she had always been very afraid of the dark."This place is beautiful," Annah murmured."It sure is darling." Kate smiled.As they walked in, passing several rooms and small offices, Annah wondered who actually financed the management of the building. She had a feeling that it might be a secret society, one that usually financed things like this and she wouldn't put it past them not to be behind things like this.Soon, Paula stopped in a long hallway that had doors by each side and without being told, Annah knew that it was a set of rooms which they would be staying in."Okay, all the rooms are clean and you're free to pick anyone. The bathrooms are within the room so you can take a long shower to your pleasure and when done, you c

Chapter 75After taking a long bath, Annah found a set of robes within the wardrobe affixed to the wall and looking through it, she found the right one. It was a cream colored one and as soon as she put it on, she knew she had been transformed into a goddess. The color of the robe blended perfectly with her skin and staring at herself in the mirror, she loved what she was seeing.She combed out her hair, ensuring that it fell in rings around her shoulder. Annah didn't know what she was doing as she tried to get sexy but if there was one thing in her heart, it was that she wanted to make Fred jealous. She didn't know where she was going with this but if there was one thing she knew, it was that Fred would be very sad that he missed her.Soon, she was ready and wearing a short green dinner dress, she made her way out of the room, heading downstairs. As she passed the doors leading to each room, she heard voices from each room and she wondered who occupied those rooms."I'm telling you m

Chapter 77"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Matt asked."Yes uncle, I've never been as sure of something as I am now." Annah said.She was ready to face him now that she had gathered all of the strength she needed. She had seen the light and she was ready to pursue it to the fullest. She vowed to no longer live in the fear that had held her bound for a long time. Now, it was a new dispensation for her and she was ready to face her fears."I'm not really sure about this… I don't think it's a good idea," Fred said.All Annah could see was the fear in his eyes because he didn't know if she would survive this. That wasn't what she intended to do, to be killed. She had her own plans as soon as she got inside the house but for now, she wasn't going to divulge any of that to them because it would only mess up her plans."Well, I don't think you should be worried, seeing that you have someone that will keep you busy while I'm away." she smiled.Fred remained quiet, thinking about what sh

Chapter 79Connor kissed the top of Annah's head as he followed Russo all the way towards the room where Rita was in. It had even been a privilege for her to be kept in this room where other prisoners were kept in the dungeon. He knew that the only reason why she was kept here was as a form of respect, because she had kept the baby alive ever since. Russo knew that if the baby had been hurt in any way, Connor would have gunned her down before she could even say her name."Please, stay here. I beg of you." Connor begged.Annah knew that there was no point in fighting him and it was best they stayed united together so they would bring their child back home. What had happened in the past was going to stay in the past and the last thing Annah wanted was to dwell on it. It wouldn't be good for her mental health as well as her physical health and she sure as hell didn't want to pass through all of that again. Now, her energy was reserved for finding her son and that was exactly what she was
