Annah's eyes darted around as she surveyed the surrounding. She was shocked to have found herself in a lavishly elegant room, lying on a king-sized bed. Annah wondered how long she had been asleep, because the last thing she remembered was entering the helicopter with the man that kidnapped her.
Yes! Now she remembered, she was kidnapped!
Upon the discovery, she tried to move but found out she had been restrained. Her hands were cuffed behind her and it brought a wave of shock. Even as her mind flashback to the dream she had.
It was just like this in the dream, held captive and kidnapped. The only difference was that she wasn't in the dungeon but in a comfortable room. One that speaks of wealth, giving an insight to her kidnapper's riches.
But despite the beauty of the room, she still needs to leave. She isn't saved at all.
On that note, she began to struggle to get herself free from the bound on her hands but was unable to. Then, she tried moving backwards until she got the right position to sit upright before proceeding to take a glance at the room again.
The question that kept bugging her was why was she kidnapped in the first place?
Mostly because the last words of her kidnapper continued ringing in her head.
"As long as you give the boss what he wants. He will release you in no time."
But what does this unknown boss wants from her? What did she have to offer in order to get released?
These questions were plaguing her mind but she had no answers to them. Instead, she was perplexed and not quite sure what to do.
Just as the different thoughts were running in her mind, she heard the creak of the door, following by a bang. Which caused her attention to shift to the direction of the noise. While her heart kept racing in panic and fear as she awaited whosoever just stepped in.
Just then, a pair of leather black shoes appeared in the doorway as the person wearing them walked in gracefully. Even as creaking noises followed the footsteps. Annah's eyes trailed the shoes and slowly moved up to the face of the owner, going from the bottom to the up.
Then, reality hit her as her instincts immediately told her that her dream was about to become a reality. She got the shock of her life as she almost jumped up from the bed in surprise.
Her blue eyes snapped at the beautiful man in front of her, taking in his entire appearance. He was tall with board shoulders and had a large intimidating frame. His eyes were dark paired with black hair, that seemed like it was roughly combed by his noble fingers. It gave him the typical cliché alpha look from all those werewolf stories books but at the same time, there was a strong aura around him that makes others shivers in fear...it was Connor Richard.
His perfect look was ruined by the scowl that was plastered on his face as his brows were furrowed. Richard's eyes were now fixed on her, emotionless with coldness written all over them. Just the same way they stared at her in the dream.
" Con..."
She trailed off, as she tried to say his name but nothing else seemed to come out of her mouth. It was as though all her words suddenly disappeared into the thin air, or she has lost the ability to formulate words.
‘What is happening to you Annah?! Speak up! Say something!ʼ
She urged herself yet nothing happened.
"Annah Showman" he called in a husky voice, laced with irritation as her name escaped from his mouth.
He walked closer, closing the gap between them as he was now standing close to the bed.
Annah flinched at the sound of his voice but she tried to remains firm and unshakable. Afterall, it's not like she could move seeing as she had been cuffed.
On the other hand, there was no reason to be afraid of him? She had done nothing wrong to the richest aloof boss in New York city. All she needs to do is to demand of her release because she has nothing to offer to someone like Connor Richard.
He chuckled in amusement when he saw the full seriousness on her face. Then bent slightly, enough to look at her properly. Before sliding back the loose strands of hair behind her ear, then lifting her eyes to level the gaze.
"It has be awhile since we last meet”, he spoke even as his eyes moved from her face to her full breasts and move down to examine the rest parts of her body.
Annah could feel the burning gaze on her skin but that waa the least of her worries. What bothered her was, never meeting Connor Richard prior to this. Yet, he implied that he had.
Surely, he must be mistaking her for someone else right? Because as far she knows, their paths have never been crossed before.
The only time she has seen him was on the TV! This was the first time she has ever been privileged to see him on person.
While she continued thinking, he continued to scrutinize her body.
It moved back up and this time, he pulled her close closing whatever space was left between them.
Annah felt his hot breath on her face as her body hair rose up, matching her fear.
This man isn't just dominant but also the definition of a hunk. Perhaps that's why she had not said a thing yet. Maybe she was tongue-tied by his looks?
"Now, let get to the main business. Where is my son?"
The question snapped her back to reality as her eyes widened in horror. His words replayed in her head over and over again. Son? Which son?
The same voice echoed in the room again, "I asked a simple question Annah, and I demand an answer!”
"Where's the son you gave birth to three years ago?"
It was only now that Annah finally realized that her dream was really happening! This was the same question he asked her in the dream and now in reality, he was also inquiring of this unknown child.
Annan had finally reached her limit with all the weirdness. If Connor Richard was bored and needed someone to play pranks on there are multiple options. She isn't the right person for that!
She was finally able to speak, “What son are you talking about??”
" Mr Connor Richard, if you're looking for someone to play games with, I advise you get yourself a hooker or one of your fancy celebrities. Because I'm not interested in whatever you want to do!" Annah spoke with sterness, allowing her chest to heave only after she had finished talking.But this earned a mockery laughter from the man as he plunged into a fit of laughter."You must be very funny Miss Annah. You should have gone into writing comedy rather than romance because that suits you better.”Sarcasm was laced with every word he spoke....Annah bit on her lower lip, feeling insulted by his reaction and nasty comeback. Who the hell did she think he is to make such comments?! Annah balled her hands into a fist, despite it being tired. She could even feel her blood boiling up in anger.Connor bent over once again to her level but this time, he was extremely close, "Miss Annah Brown I'm not here to play jokes. Just tell me where you kept my child and I'll release you immediately." Th
Connor was not bothered by her frightening scream. In fact, he found it more pleasant and comforting to listen to. With anger boiling inside of him, he pushed harder into her. It was a rough and harsh sex.He lowered his mouth, leaving trails of kisses down her body like it was made only for him. Just the same way it felt the last time. It was the same thing he tasted when he first took her virginity. Fuck!He missed every inch of her body. With more pleasure burning inside of him, he leaned his head backward and kept thrusting in and out of her tits as he closed his eyes, allowing himself to dance to the rhyming of his desires. While Annah, under him, was still struggling to get herself free from his grip.As time passed, he became gentler with the sex and his hard-core thrusting changed into something rhythmic, something she was now feeling familiar with.It felt so familiar like she had had this him before. But her mind just couldn't puzzle where and when it happened. He bought bac
Chapter 9After the maids left, Annah was left alone, a sad, desolate mess. She couldn't understand why all of this was happening to her at that time of her life. Everything Connor had accused her of was very strange to her hearing and, deep down, she had a feeling that there was a mistake somewhere. She also knew that she was a victim of mistaken identity and the person Connor thought she was wasn't her at all.''I need to find a way to make him believe me.'' Annah murmured.She could barely move after what he did to her and looking for him around the house was definitely not an option she could consider. Many things were going on that she didn't know and she had no idea what to do. She couldn't even call her friend, Rita, call the people who meant so much to her, which just made everything frustrating.''I need to find a way…''Annah knew that if she continued staying in this hellhole of a house, she would lose it completely. She had a limit and she knew her body was fast reaching t
Chapter 10 _Sleep child, sleep and the pains will go away… sleep and forget all of your worries for when dawn comes, all of these will only be but a dream._ Annah gasped as she struggled to wake up. There was a suffocating feeling within her, like someone wanted to snuff the living daylights out of her. It was a sick feeling and even as she opened her eyes to look at her surroundings, she still wasn't settled. As her eyes got more accustomed to her room, she calmed down, her heart finally stopping to rest.''It was a dream… only a bad dream.'' she whispered.That was the only thing she could do to calm herself down even as her heart still pounded within her chest. ''I will be okay… i will be okay.'' she murmured.She sat up on the bed, rubbing her sleep filled eyes even as the door to the room was pushed open. She expected to see Connor, breathing down on her with anger but she was surprised when it was only the maid who had come in with her food. It had to be noon because Annah kn
Chapter 11Connor hated what he was feeling, hated this feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. For many weeks now, Annah has been in his captivity, yet nothing has been progressing. At this point, he didn't even know what to believe anymore, because the more he tortured her, the more she seemed to grow resilient.''Or is there something I'm missing.'' He mumbled.He had done everything he could think of for her but yet, she wasn't giving him what he wanted, which just made him worried. There was more to all of this which he was sure of and until he saw the bigger picture, he knew that he might not be able to uncover it.Grabbing his phone, he dialed an agent's number. This man had worked for him in the past and he was convinced of his professionalism and his dedication to what he did.''Boss.'' he said as soon as he picked up the call.''I have a job for you…'' Connor began.''Okay boss, I'm listening,'' he said.As Connor sat there in his office that morning, going over everything
Chapter 12Connor stood there, completely lost in thoughts as he stared at Russo and the unconscious Annah. He couldn't believe that it was his actions that had brought her to this point and he was battered within him because he knew he caused this. If he had just stuck to questioning her and not killing anyone before her, none of this would have happened.''I'm a fool.'' he whispered.''A big one at that.'' Russo added.Connor wasn't angry over what he said because he knew he deserved every hit and insults. As Russo tried to stabilize her, Connor walked backwards before sitting on a chair that faced the table.''In my line of work son, I've come to learn that there are some people who can not take a certain amount of trauma which just brings me to the question, what do you really want from her?'' he asked.For several minutes, Connor could barely talk as he stared at Russo and what he had to Annah. He realized that what he had done and what she had seen was too much for her to compre
Chapter 13''What have you got?'' Connor asked without wasting time.''Boss, it will be best of you contact your friend, Kelvin.'' his agent said.That wasn't what Connor expected to hear and hearing it now from his agent sent alarm bells ringing in his ears. Kelvin? ''Kelvin?'' he voiced out."Yes boss. He will be in a better position to tell you what went wrong, seeing that he has been the brain behind everything from the beginning.'' his agent said.Connor slumped back on the chair, staring at nothing in particular as his mind went to that fateful night he had met Annah. He never envisioned any of this to happen but now that it had happened, he knew he had to get ahead of it and make sure that he was on track for everything.''There's an issue.'' Connor sighed.Ever since he had paid Kelvin off, he was as good as dead to him and he had no idea where he was. In fact, the last time he was in contact with him, it had been through a phone call before he wired his fee to him. Physicall
Chapter 14As Annah slowly emerged from her coma, her surroundings blurred into focus. The clean hospital room surrounded her with its cool, white walls, and the soft hum of medical equipment echoed in her ears. Confusion clouded her mind at first, but as her vision cleared, she saw him standing there, watching her with a mixture of relief and concern. It was Connor, the person who had caused her so much pain.''Please… no.'' she croaked.Due to the time she had been out, her voice was now very hoarse and it would take some time before she finally got used to speaking.Fear gripped Annah's heart, squeezing it tightly as memories flooded back—the torment, the manipulation, the shattered trust. She couldn't forget the sleepless nights, the constant anxiety, and the deep scars left behind. How could she ever trust him again?"I hate you." she said with so much venom in her voice.Connor stepped closer, his voice laced with remorse and desperation. "Annah, I know you're scared, and I don'
