Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 35:It's working
The once noisy passage turned calm, and people around went still as they watched the drama. The Smith family was the center of attention but I was going to go ahead with my plans anyway. Father's pleading eyes were on me, helplessly begging me not to do this, but he has a daughter who is as stubborn as he is. I was here to prove my innocence, I had not killed anyone. Grandmother, I could clearly see, was trying to be strong. As for Liam, he was staring at me like something indeed happened. He would rain down healing if possible. Holding the syringe in my hand, I stretched out my left hand and injected myself with it. Every eye wide, every eye was on me, waiting and searching for a sign. It took a while before I began to feel the heat from within. I staggered and Liam, who was standing on guard, caught me almost immediately. He took me to one of the benches by the side of the hospital passage. “Doctor!” I heard a loud scream from Father. I was dizzy so I could no longer see him cle
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 36:Treason
“Anna, it's working!” Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched how their body began to receive their color, their eyelids shaking, the machine picked it up and they were recovering and no longer in a coma. Everything was happening so fast that I was even shocked. Yes, it took more than fifteen minutes when mine took less than five but they were in a coma. If we were going to really examine it with time, theirs was supposed to take more than an hour seeing that they were in a coma. Father began to instruct the doctors on what to do, but they all got busy. I stood there watching Grandma J and Mother showing more signs of them recovering. The doctors took the life support off both of them, First from Mother then after a while, from Grandma. Blood samples were taken from both of them, and three doctors left. Father and I stood there waiting for them to open their eyes and even if it would take until tomorrow, we were determined to wait. “Mother?” I called when I saw her eyes slightly t
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 37: Family Of Vipers
The scene I saw when I entered the room caused my frowning face to relax and my angry heart to melt. Liam and Grandma were speaking to Grandma J while father was attending to Mother. Now, this is the family that I have come to know and love. “Anna,” Grandma called weakly but had a smile on her lips. I made my way to her bed, my eyes teary again. I need to stop crying like a baby. Liam made way for me to get closer to Grandma,“How are you doing, Grandma?” I asked, my voice hoarse. I was tired, I was weak. “My dear, Anna,” she called again as she reached for my hand and I held her tightly. I could have lost them, they could have died from my carelessness. Mother had warned me but I didn't listen, I wanted to prove a point and that would have cost my family's life.That family was a family of vipers yet I didn't listen. I could now see the reason why Mother didn't want me to live with them and also why she didn't want Father to know of my existence. That was putting my life at risk
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 38: Family.
I closed my eyes as my thoughts wandered to the threat I had threatened them with a few moments ago before I stepped into the room. “You don't have to worry, Vivian, I promise to take care of Anna,” Grandma said but Mother shook her head.“No offense ma'am but you were there when we were poisoned. You cannot inspect everything. I would not allow Annalise to go back to that house”I looked at Grandma J, she was quiet all the while, and I could tell that she was silently in support of what Mother was saying. Even I wasn't comfortable living in that house with those people “Anna, do you want to leave?” Grandma asked me and I looked from mother to her. I didn't even know how to respond because I didn't want to hurt Grandma “Whether she likes it or not, Annalise is not going back to that house. You're a mother, you should know how it is, Grandma. She is my only child, I would not let anything happen to her. I'll take the poison over and over again for her”“Annalise would go back to liv
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 39: My Way.
Annalis's POVLiam held my hand, and I peeked at him with a confused expression. His eyes said a lot, and I would listen, but that didn't mean I tolerated their shits this time around. If they said trash, I would not hesitate to trash them back."How were they?" One of my stepmoms asked, and I gave her a hard glare before forcing a smile."They are alive, good news to me and bad news for others," I replied, trying to sound as rude as I could."You don't have to be gross, Annalise, she was just caring enough to ask you about your family. Don't be so rude," one of my stepbrothers said, and I just sighed."What's your definition of rude, brother? This is just a sneak peek of my little grossness, and I promise you all, you'll get the full version soon," I scoffed, and they all exchanged looks before turning to look at me."Let's go, Liam. We have so much to do..." I paused and looked at Mia before adding, "Together."She blazed, and I smirked before we began to walk away."Where are you t
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 40: The Miracle Doctor
Annalise's POVAfter a much-needed rest, I was ready to head to the hospital to see my family. The new house was huge, and though it felt empty, I hoped to convince Mom and Grandma J. to come stay with me. It wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to try my best.When one of the servants announced Liam's arrival, I hurried out to meet him. I was eager to see him."You're looking quite fetching, Annalise," Liam remarked with a warm smile as I stepped out of the house.A blush crept up my cheeks at the unexpected compliment. "Thanks, Liam. How are they?" I inquired, even though I had already called my father and confirmed that they were doing well."They're holding up surprisingly well, considering everything, you're really a genius, my Lady," Liam responded, his voice tinged with admiration. "Everyone is talking about you, the news channels are bustling with the miracle doctor.""Miracle doctor?" I asked with a chuckle as I followed Liam out to the waiting car."Yeah, that's what you'r
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 41: The Family Tradition
Liam's POVWalking beside Annalise, she explains how it would be if we didn't get the real culprit, saying there's a probability that something else might happen again even though she had moved from the mansion. I was about to reply to her when we heard a call, “Liam! Liam!” I turned to Mia walking towards us, her eyes filled with rage like she could kill anyone who stood in her way. I didn't want to stop for her but Annalise did so I had to as well. “Mia” “I wasn't talking to you, so go away,” Mia spat immediately after Anna called. “I was only wondering why you're on this wing of the hospital. Hope it's not to visit my family. Go home if that's the reason why because we don't want to see you” “For your information,” Mia began, placing her hands on her hips, “I am from the Smith family so I can come to any part of the hospital I want!” Annalise chuckled as she shook her head, “That's so funny, Mia. I mean, you're telling the heir and sole owner of the hospital that you can co
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 42: Another Attempt.
Annalise's POV“Mother! Grandma J!” I grinned widely as I walked further into the room. Grandma J and Mother were having a discussion when I stepped in. “How are you both doing?” I asked“We're basking in good health, thanks to our miracle doctor” Grandma J replied with a giggle. She must have heard the news as well, miracle doctor indeed. “How are you?” Mother asked me with concerned looks, “I am fine, Mother. I feel refreshed and also happy that you both are fine and well,” “Sure. We were treated by the best doctors in the world. You and your father,” Grandma J replied.“Only my daughter treated us, her father had nothing to do with it,” Mother quickly took away the credit from father as if she was conscious when it happened. At least, Father had given them the injection with the antidote. Also, he was there all through, else who knew if something worse would have happened? Whoever did this to Mother and Grandma J will truly rot in jail forever. “Father helped too, Mother,” I

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
