Annalise's POV

Getting to the restroom, I bumped into someone and dropped my purse. I quickly apologized and was about to pick my purse up when the person's shoe stepped on it, almost stepping on my hand. I raised my head up to see Mia staring right back at me with a smug.

“Oh, so it wasn't a mistake after all” I raised myself back up leaving the purse on the floor.

Mia stood there with her arms crossed looking so beautiful, her hair neatly fell to the sides like mine. She was wearing a gown similar to mine, the only difference was the color, hers was green. I wonder why she had done that. How she knew what I was wearing and why she had to wear exactly that. Or was it just a coincidence?

“Annalise, what a pleasant surprise” she acted like she always does. And I crossed my arms,

“Is it pleasant to you? It isn't to me. You see, when I bumped into you, I could perceive something but I didn't want to say a thing but knowing that it's you, I now understand why I had perceived disgust”

    Liam's POV The people kept coming around to say Hello and I smiled and shook hands with them and I was already tired. Where was Anna? Isn't she taking too long in the ladies room?After she left, I had gone to the security men by the door to ask if they had seen Benson walk him but they replied that they were strictly told not to allow the Wilford family in so obviously Benson wasn't there. It gave me ease but seeing now that Annalise hasn't returned, I don't know what to think anymore. I had deliberately not left my position so she could easily find me amongst the crowd when she came back but she still wasn't back. “Hey Liam” it was Mia and I looked at her from the crown of her head to her toes. Wasn't this the same gown that Anna wore? “You like it, right?” She asked, her eyes glowing like a child waiting for praise, I sighed, “Hello Mia, are you looking for someone?” I asked. “No, why would you ask that?” She asked me and I shrugged, my eyes fixed in the direction of the lady

    Annalise's POV"Annalise!" I heard my name from the living room and rushed there. It was my mother-in-law calling. With her were three visitors. I never knew she was expecting visitors."Ma," I answered the minute I got there but a dirty slap landed on my cheeks causing my face to turn from one side to the other. I couldn't hear a thing because my ears kept ringing, and my hands covered my cheek as I stared at the woman before me. "Didn't you hear me call for you ever since? Do I have to scream and lose my voice before you come running down?" She raised her hand again and I staggered back, not wanting to be slapped again."Get the hell out of my face and get my guests some wine and cookies" I didn't bother to argue and turned on my heels as tears rolled down my eyes. Before I knew it, I felt a strong pull by my hair causing me to follow the hand that pulled it, "Argghhh…!" I whined in pain, "Mother, please stop!" *SLAP”"Who's your mother?" She asked with anger in her eyes as sh

I took Derek to school this morning, and he was fine. How could he have just collapsed?When we reached the hospital, I rushed in before asking the lady behind the desk for directions. She showed me the way to Derek's room.I barged in only to freeze. Looking around, I found mother, Benson, and father in the room. Mother was crying bitterly, I shook my head with my eyes closed, "No," I muttered, my body trembling and soul unwilling to accept the truth before me. I forced myself to move from where I stood by the door to the bed, it couldn't be my son that the doctor was covering with a white cloth. No!"Doc… doctor? What is…. Is going on?" I stuttered. "I'm sorry," he replied but I ignored him as I made my way to my boy. My son, my only son. "Derek?" I called, taking the cloth off his face, "

It was Benson and I don't see why he needed to bang the door so hard when the door was unlocked.That man slapped me unconscious! They immediately brought me back to consciousness in the same hospital where my son died. I pushed myself from the floor I had slept on last night. They had literally dragged me out of the hospital yesterday because I didn't want to leave my son. I can't still believe that my Derek is gone.I cried till I slept off, right here on the floor. My body arches badly, and I felt numb on my feet but I tried to go and get the door since Benson kept knocking"Benson," I opened, my voice hoarse from extensive crying. His mother was standing behind him, along with the lady whom I had planned to disfigure her face one day because of her vile attitude. I still don't understand what she is always doing here in this house. "Here," Benson passed me a paper, more of a document when I looked at it.I

    Annalise's POVIt's been two weeks since I was driven out of my husband's house. Benson without mercy had thrown my things out like he planned it years ago even before Derek died. They didn't let me mourn my son, and neither did they allow me to attend his burial nor to say my final farewell. I was forced to go back to my mom and grandma. They had cried with me and also made sure I didn't drown myself in sorrow. The pain I felt in my heart was so strong that I felt sick; for days I was bedridden. Feeling a lot better today, I decided to visit my son. It was something I wanted to do days ago but I was prohibited from leaving the house till I got well. Making sure no one I knew was around, I made my way to the graveside. On the stone was written Derek Benson Walford, my heart tightened as till now, I still couldn't understand how he died. A once jovial child went to school and never returned. "Derek, what happened?" I choked as I tried to ask. I knew he wouldn't respond but I just w

Why didn't we see anyone when we came in?" Mother asked as she tried not to chuckle. I pouted, I did treat someone. I somehow slept off staring at the handsome man who was lying next to me. I don't know if I slept off but the next time I woke up, it was Grandma's call. When I asked about the man, they kept asking who I was talking about. When I woke up, I couldn't find the handsome man beside me any longer. He was gone, and his wheelchair was gone too. "He left before I woke up," I responded. "But you also said he was crippled, right? How is it that he saw himself out without any help from you? I didn't help him nor did you?" Grandma asked Mother who shook her head also, she was laughing. They don't believe me. I've been trying to convince them since last night but they don't believe me. I had even shown them th

But this man before us happens to be powerful and wealthy. Could she be able to fight if the men decide to really reply to her?I turned to look at the man whose eyes were no longer holding warmth. The temperature had suddenly dropped in the room making me gulp. Without being told that the man was wealthy, one would be able to guess because of how he carried himself. He waved his hand at the man who stood a few steps behind him and the man left, rooting out his phone from his pocket.The room was quiet until I heard the door closed. The man asked,“What right do you have to refuse?” his words were empty, without emotions like one more wrong word from mother could cost her a lot. I d

Tell me, who—” I swallowed back the rest of my words when Liam covered my lips with his. I thought we weren't doing this. I didn't stop him but quickly responded, my hand let go of my purse as I held his jaws before my hand slipped to the back of his head. The kiss wasn't a slow one or an innocent kiss, it was demanding and filled with so much desire that I wondered how I didn't notice it earlier. I moaned as his hand reached for my ass and gave it a light squeeze causing me to moan some more. “Fuck!” He broke the kiss and cussed, “Fuck, Annalise, my self-control is slipping away” he announced. His eyes staring right at me, his face was so close to mine and his breath literally fanning my skin. I had gone red as I tried to catch my breath, God, I had never had it this good. I

    Annalise POV “My exams are coming up, Liam, I don't have time to party. The party is supposed to be at the end of the year. Why now?” I asked as I dropped the book I was reading on the bed before stepping down from the bedToday is finally the day of the party and as much as I wanted to please Grandma Smith by enjoying all of this, I have an exam to prepare for. Not to forget that the emergency calls almost every day at the hospital made me miss a lot of classes. I walked towards the dressing mirror as I listened to Liam explain how women could be when it came to parties, and he laughed at me for being a different kind of woman. “Well, as long as I would have another opportunity to spend time with you, I don't mind. I don't care if they decide to arrange a party every week” he held back a chuckle and I rolled my eyes. Unbelievable, they must have gotten used to always going to gatherings. I hated it and avoided it when I was in school. I don't know how long I would survive it. “T

    Annalise’s POVBefore Kelvin could respond to my question, Father and the rest of the family came out making me furrow my brows. Did they decide to follow Liam out or what?I wouldn’t be surprised if only Father and Grandpa Smith had stepped out but for the entire family to come out, something was going on.Kelvin came to stand beside me while Liam stopped pushing the swing,“Is everything alright?” I asked Father with a smile and he nodded,“Yes, my child. Your grandma has an announcement to make” he informed before turning to look at Grandma who was making herself comfortable on the other swing beside me. I waited for her to speak along with the rest of the family. They didn’t seem to know what she was going to say either. Curiosity almost eating me up.“Kelvin, come give your grandma a push” she instructed making me raise my brow a bit.“Yes, my lady” Kelvin walked behind her and began to push her gently. I smiled.“There’s going to be a party coming up. It’s a collaboration we nor

    Annalise’s pov Kelvin and I kept speaking until we were called for lunch and as much as I really wanted to eat with Grandma and Father, the thought of the past came back strong into my memory, there was no way I was eating with this family. “I took something at Liam’s office, I’m not hungry” I gave an excuse that made Liam narrow his eyes at me. Yes, that was a lie, but what else can I do? Once bitten twice shy. The family looked at me but I didn’t care about what they thought or said, I made my way out of the house. The thought of what happened then still floods my mind like it was yesterday. As for whether I had forgiven them for what they did, I’m not sure I can. “You’re good?” I turned to see Kelvin running after me. He was a slim handsome young boy. He has brown hair which matches his eyes and gap teeth that make him look really cute. I can’t believe I have a stepbrother that was completely different from the rest. I really wanted to know which of the women was his mother but

    Annalise's POVThe drive to the Smith family house was swift and quiet. That was because Liam was deep in thought about what I had told him. I shouldn't have but I didn't know when it slipped my mouth as I spoke about the stress I had been facing because of him in school. Well, I think it's because we haven't spoken for a long time and I needed to tell him a lot about what had been going on in my life. I had missed him. When we got to the family house, Liam came over to open the car for me like a gentleman, “Ready?” I sighed, “I don't think I can ever be” “That was what you said when you wanted to go for the reunion but see how it turned out” he smiled at me. I wanted to be positive so I nodded, assuring myself that I was here to only visit Father and Grandma then I'll go back home. “Ah, what's she doing here?” I heard one of the sons speak. What was his name again…? Jerry. “Big sist,” another one smiled as he came over to meet me then pulled me into a hug before I knew it. A fr

    Liam's POVIf I say I haven't missed Annalise, I would be a big fat liar. I didn't know I'd get to miss a girl like I missed her. This only means that she had entered my system and had mixed with my blood because what kind of a man would drive from his house early in the morning only to come to stare at a girl's house for more than an hour then drive off? I've been doing that for the past three days. I'll go to her house and park my car there, staring at the house for minutes, and turn to an hour before finally going to work. I had tried as much as I could to put all my attention to work. And yes, I had bullied my employees because I had diverted my anger at them. They suffered it more. The project they were supposed to accomplish in a week, ended up doing within days, really annoying how I had transferred aggression to them. When I heard that Annalise was downstairs, I literally jumped up from my chair. My heart raced as I tried to put my office in order, not like anything was out
