Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 09: A Servant.
Annalise's POV. "What are we doing here?" The question left my parted mouth as my eyes scanned the seemingly endless villa in front of me. Is this heaven? "Welcome to our little home, darling." Father's voice rang in my head and my jaw dropped.Home? Little?Seriously, what's this wealthy people's definition of a little?Turning towards him, I asked, "Is this your home, for real?" He smiled and extended his hand towards me. With a deep breath, I placed my hand on him and he began to lead the way towards the house. My eyes were darting from one place to the other and I can't help but wish to stay a little longer and ravish this moment. This is too captivating, I've only seen such buildings on television, and now... My father owns one, one that's way better than any I've ever seen. Suddenly, my step slowed when I noticed some people lined up in two rows; they were both men and women and they were finely dressed. "Don't be nervous, mom must have arranged this little welcome for yo
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 10: A Daughter To A Multi-billionaire.
Annalise's POV."Yes Naana, like what the fuck is going on? I had left the hospital thinking that you have an important announcement to make and you... Gosh! C'mon, this is just insane!" Another yelled and I subconsciously took some steps backward, I just wanna run home as fast as my legs could carry me right now.Seeing all these reminds me of my ex-husband's home, the way I was treated there was the same way I'm being downgraded here. It seems like everyone is out to get me in this world. "Will you all shut up!" Grandma snapped and I flinched due to the gravity of her command.Grandmas are sweet... Yeah but why does this one sound like those action grannies in Chinese movies?"I'm so sorry, mothers-in-law, the kids are just lost. You know how the workload at the hospital is tight, they're all just wondering why you would call them home urgently." A young woman expressed calmly and my eyes squinted, I don't know but I felt like she was faking her apologies."Whatever..." Grandma mut
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 11: Another George Smith.
Although the house, no, the mansion was so big that I was sure that twenty people could live in there, no one would notice because of how spacious and large it was. Yet, I was suffocating like I was in a closed place. Can I really remain here? Can I live with them?I stood in the middle of the room one of the maids took me to, I kept staring at the large place, it was so big, bigger than I and Benson's room. This was my father's house, so it was my house as well, but was it really my house? From what happened back there downstairs, I could tell that they weren't interested in wanting to know me or have anything to do with me. Was that why Mother didn't want me to come with Father in the first place?"Ma'am, would you need anything else?" The voice of the maid pulled me out of my reverie. I blinked and smiled at her, "No, that would be all. Thank you very much," She made a small bow before leaving the room, I watched her keenly as she walked away. I didn't even know why I was star
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 12: Feeling Lost.
The sound of the door woke me up, I heard a call from outside, "Hello ma'am, it's morning. You need to wake up," I yawned before struggling to get up from the bed. This bed is just so soft and comfy, I don't want to wake up or get up, I just want to be here all day! "I'm up, I'm up," I said as I yawned.I had slept all through, even when the maids came to call me for dinner, I had refused to get up. I don't know if it was because of the long trip to the house or if it was because of how soft the bed was but I slept off and didn't go down for dinner last night"Ma'am, you're late for your ball," the maid's words made me jump from the bed. My eyes scanned the room for the wall clock and when I saw the time, I almost cried. It was 9 am! Why did I sleep till this time?!? I rushed towards the door and opened the door for the now impatient maid, "I'm really sorry," I apologized to the maid who instead bowed her head, apologizing as well. We ended up apologizing to each other. "I'll go
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 13: An Impoverished Pig.
Annalise's POV. "Come, love, we need to get you ready for your ball, you have no idea how excited I am right now, your coming is just something that has brought immense joy into my life." Grandma proclaimed immediately she saw me heading down the stairs and despite the anxiety bubbling inside my every cell, I smiled seeing that glow on her face. I was still worried about something no one seemed to be bothered about, especially my grandma and my father, they were both so focused on the ball and everything that they were not considering my worries. What if I am not truly the gifted one? What if everything that happened was just a big coincidence? Would my father still accept me if it turns out that I am not gifted? Those questions whirled in my mind and the way everything was happening so fast was giving me a good reason to escape from all these and meditate. "Girl, seriously, don't you have any other clothes apart from the rag you're wearing?" One of the women standing beside my
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 14: Prince Charming.
Annalise's POV. Elsa's hoots made me flinch, the ridicule she hurled at me didn't even bother me, she'd always trash-talk me at any given opportunity, so today wasn't an exception. Elsa was a medical student before she decided to go into the fashion world after graduation. I don't know but the girl had always loathed me, rumors had it that I took something that belonged to her, and up to date, I had no idea what that was. She's the daughter of a wealthy lineage in the country and I don't know what a girl from my background would take away from her to make her so sore. "Calm down Elsa, you don't have to create a scene whenever we meet," I said, trying to appease her but that only seemed to enrage her because the next thing she did surprised me. *Pak!* She slapped me so hard that my left cheek burned due to the intensity of the slap. "What the hell?!" I let out a yell and gave her an incensed look."What's wrong with you Elsa? What in the name of God was that?!" I flared, my eyes
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 15: A New Annalise.
Annalise's POV. 'See you at the ball, Cara Mia,' Those words he mused at the fashion shop still rang in my ears like a broken record. Anytime it does, my body shivers in delight. Who was that man that I had healed? Why does he sound so….powerful?Why does everyone here look powerful?My eyes only tore from the door he had walked through when Grandmother came into the fashion shop. When I thought I had picked a very expensive gown, Grandma made me realize that we could buy the entire fashion shop and not still get broke. She has made me try a lot of gowns just to pick the perfect one for the ball. Ella was quick to run away after the man left, I was sure she would have been shocked out of her soul if she had seen who had followed me to the fashion store. Finally, Grandma was able to settle for the 'One'. An emerald green gown that slightly turned black at the bottom. It was an off-shoulder flowing gown. My eyes twinkled at the very sight of it and Grandma called it, 'The One'. Thi
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 16:The Ball
I was standing in the midst of so many people. I had never been this exposed in my entire life. Although the mask had covered my face, I wasn't sure anyone would see me and recognize me, I was still feeling very self-conscious. Grandma had left my side to say Hello to her friends and I could see my father from where I stood with a glass of drink in my hand. He was speaking to some people as well. From the corner of my eyes, I could see familiar faces, like my step-siblings and stepmom. The thing was, they had walked passed me more than three times, yet they couldn't recognize me. Thank God for the face mask.The hall was so big and there were cameras everywhere. Father must have spent a lot to organize such a party in a short period of time. Not only that, the hall was full one would think that invitation had been sent weeks back. Everyone stood with a glass of wine in their hand as they spoke to another person. Everyone was dressed nicely and expensive, with one glance, one would

Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 87:Family house
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 86:Father's back
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 85:Office Meeting
Annalise's POVI didn't get any call from Liam, it's been four days. I didn't know he was that hurt. I had stayed with Jared and his son, Alex, in the hospital for two nights. I expected Liam to call and ask how I was doing, but I never received a call from him. That was unlike him. “Anna, shouldn't you be home and resting since you don't have classes today or any emergency yet?” Grandma J asked. I was wearing my shoes as I replied, not looking at her,“Yes, but I want to go and visit someone. I will be back soon, I need the rest too” She didn't say anymore but I assume she got the message. It's also funny how none of them had teased me about Liam since the hospital thing. Did Liam ask them to stop? Within these few days, I also noticed that Benson's flowers and letters also increased and Professor Ken has been a bone in my throat. I wish I could just explode at him and tell him what I really think but I don't want to be disobedient to my professor. As for Mia, she's on a low and I
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 84:Jealous Liam
Annalise's POV “Liam…” I called, a bit shocked at the way he was acting. This was my office and Jared is a patient's parent here, he can't come and start acting like a jealous husband now. Jared held me by the shoulder to stop me from saying any more before he moved closer to Liam, “Hi, I'm Jared” he stretched his hand for a handshake. Liam looked at his hand and didn't bother to take it, he had a deep frown on his face as he looked away from Jared and asked me instead,“Are you ready to go home?” I watched Jared drop his hand, seeing that Liam wasn't planning to take it for a handshake. Damn you, Liam! What kind of jealousy was this? And how do you act this way seeing that the man wants to be friends? I folded my arms across my chest and said,“Liam, this is Jared, his son was rushed to the hospital because he took some poisonous substance” I tried to explain the best way I could. Maybe he would finally face Jared and give the man the respect he deserved. Liam looked from me fi
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 83: Jared
Annalise's POV. "Jared... What are you doing here?" I asked, my surprise evident in my voice. I never knew I'd see him so soon after the school reunion. "Hey Anna, it's so good to see you again." He waved and I gave him a half smile. "Yeah. What brought a star to the hospital, did you do any dangerous stunt while shooting any movie and broke some bones?" "Well, with a doctor like you at my service, I don't mind breaking all my bones cause I know you'll fix them, just like you fix my son." He chuckled and confusion settled in me. "Your son?" I asked in confusion."Yeah, the nanny brought him to the hospital before calling me, the boy you just finished treating is my son, he was rushed to the hospital some hours ago." He explained and my mouth and eyes opened wide in shock. "You... You had a son?" I questioned in awe and he let out a cackle before nodding in affirmation. "Wow, that's so cool." I found myself saying and he chuckled the more.Yeah, I'm overreacting but wow! "Looks
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 82: Unknown Ailment.
Annalise's POV. "Hey Annalise." I bullet my head towards the direction of the voice only to see professor Ken standing with two beautiful plastic cups of coffee. "Um, good morning professor, what brings you here?" I asked, my eyes fixed on him. He was cute but nothing compared to Liam."I guessed I'll see you here since you ain't in school, I've been looking for you." He gave me a cup and I nodded my thank you.He sat beside me and because of the closed proximity, I shifted, letting out a forced giggle.What does he want?"So how's the school treating you?" His eyes were on me and it made me very uncomfortable and conscious."Good, it's been great sir. Can I help you? I'm preparing for the upcoming test and I need my full focus." I smiled and he gave me a nod of understanding."It's alright, I was wondering if you're free this weekend." The fake smile on my face disappeared as I stared at the man, this wasn't the first time he was asking this week, "As I've said before sir, I am n
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 81:A threat?
Annalise's POV“Grandma!” I gasped in shock as I looked around. The light was turned on for me to see properly only to find Grandma J, Mother, and Grandma Smith smiling at me. What the hell?!“Why aren't you all asleep?” I asked, staring at each of them. And why is Grandma Smith still here? “It's almost 12 in the morning, why aren't you all in bed?” “And miss all of that?” Grandma J asked, referring obviously to the kiss. Damn it! I should have noticed that they were watching.“This is so unfair spying on me!” I almost yelled when Grandma Smith silenced me, “Nonsense, child! We have better things to do than spy on our grandchild, right J?” She turned to Grandma J who grinned with both her hands in front of her like a kid, “Of course” I rolled my eyes at them before asking, “So what were you guys doing? If you weren't spying, how would you know about the kiss?”“Well…” Grandma Smith stated, “I wanted to leave…” “Yeah…?” “So we opened the door and saw you both kissing, we quickl
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 80:Goodnight Kiss
Annalise POVSince I left the hotel and got into Liam’s car, I have been smiling like a fool. I don’t know which of the events was making me smile so hard but I was happy, really happy, and relieved. All that happened tonight continues to fill my head and sometimes I end up giggling in the car. “Was the party that exciting?” Liam’s voice rang out pulling me out of my thoughts.“Why did you ask that?” I asked turning to face him and he raised his chin at my face,“You’ve been smiling since we left the hotel” and I pressed my lips together, the smile still lingering that my cheeks began to hurt. I wanted to hold it in but just couldn’t anymore,“You should see Elsa’s face, and Sasha just couldn’t believe I was the one who treated her husband. I can’t believe I feared those freaks while in school. They were just weaklings trying to use other people’s weaknesses and turn them into their strengths”“That’s the spirit” Liam grinned.The car suddenly went quiet again, everyone in their own
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 79: Amazing Annalise
Liam's POVI stormed down the stairs with David at my heels, his fucking annoying protests falling on deaf ears. My eyes were locked on Annalise and the man who dared to put his hands on her. The sight of him embracing her so intimately fueled my jealousy and possessiveness to an uncontrollable level that surprised me so much. How did my feelings for her skyrocketed so much, I know I admire her, I love her kind of person and I respect her but all these? How? My feelings for her were just something I'm finding hard to understand and to make things more crazy, I don't know how to control it. As I neared the group, I could hear Elsa’s shrill voice cutting through the chatter, “You know, it’s funny how Annalise thinks she’s better than us now that fortune smiled on her, she can be a fucking heir but she's still the pathetic Annalise. Let me tell you something, everyone. That guy hugging her? He’s none other than her school crush! She was so pathetically in love with him that it was emba
