Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 54: A Kiss.
Annalise's POV“Thank you for tonight, I had a wonderful night,” I said to Liam when I noticed we were close to the house already. He has been smiling since Benson and Lara left the restaurant. Shaking my head, I asked,“Why didn't you tell me you own the restaurant?” “I'm full of surprises, Annalise Smith. There are a lot of things you don't know about me but I'll gradually reveal those to you” he spoke like some wise man causing me to roll my eyes at him playfully. I was grateful for his help. Although I had planned to unleash my anger on Lara and Benson on second thought I decided to leave them. After all, the best answer given to a fool is silence but I'm also glad Liam did it his way. “What are you doing tomorrow?” He asked and I raised a brow at him. “Well, I'll be resuming medical school on Monday so I think I'll be preparing myself for it. I can't remember the last time I read a book” I giggled. He nodded,“Good luck. I know you'll do well” “Thanks, Liam. Do you know tha

Annalise's POV. As I stood frozen in front of my family, the knock came again and I swallowed hard, trying to move but I couldn't. "Where are the servants?" Father asked, looking around. "Oh, don't... Don't stress it daddy, I'll go get the door." I mumbled but didn't move.Panic surged through me. What was he doing here? I glanced around, searching for an escape route, but there was none. My family's expectant faces turned towards me, waiting for an explanation."Um, it's just... I'll go get the door!" I stammered, feeling the sweat gathering on my forehead. "But who could it be by this time? Are you expecting someone, Anna?" Grandma J asked and my mind raced to come up with a plausible excuse as I stared at my curious family. "It must be um... Liam, must've... uh... Must have come to say hi to you guys."My mother's eyes widened before they went cold again, and Grandma J shot me a knowing look that said, "Spill the beans, young lady." But what fucking beans am I to spill, it's n

Annalise’s Pov And soon, Monday came like lightning, I wasn’t even able to get all my preparation done on time as father wanted me to escort him to the airport. Yesterday was… should I say… hell? Even though I had initially planned to go to the school on Monday but had told everyone that I would go there on Sunday so they don’t think I wasn’t serious. Only Liam knew I had planned Monday and not Sunday. Father had come personally to pick me up to school saying he wanted to introduce me properly to the school chancellor. The introduction was supposed to take just a few minutes but father and the school chancellor had taken me on a tour around the school, telling me stories of how Father lived his school days. It was nice but I needed to go home to prepare! Thinking I was finally free when Father and the chancellor said their goodbyes, I didn't know Father would make me go to the airport with him. Who am I to say no? He saw a few of his friends in the airport and introduced me

Annalise's POV. "Liam!" The voice called again. Turning around, my eyes met a face I wished I would never have to see again. But, unfortunately, avoiding her was impossible. Forcing a smile, I waved at the woman who looked utterly shocked. "Hello, Mia, it's so good to see you.. Again." Mia scrunched up her nose in disgust, as if she had just smelled something foul. I couldn’t help but wonder what on earth she was doing here. Was she following Liam? "What are you doing here?" Mia's voice dripped with disdain as she directed her question at me. Her glare was so intense it made me cringe internally. She's a beautiful woman but whenever she gives me that ugly stare, she undergoes a 360° transformation to look like some ogre. Trying to maintain my composure, I folded my arms across my chest and met her gaze head-on. "Why are you asking? Do you own this place, sister?" Mia's eyes flared up, and she snapped back almost immediately, "Step-sisters, Annalise. Don't confuse the t

Annalise's POV. The smell of paint wafted into my nose, and I just stood there, frozen, unable to move. Gasps and whispers filled the air as students in the class turned to stare in shock at the colorful spectacle I had become. My heart pounded in my chest, paint dripping from my hair and clothes, I shut my eyes, my mind struggling to comprehend what had just happened."Oopsie, look who just walked in," a familiar voice mocked. Anger surged within me as I wiped the area around my eyes to see who was responsible for this humiliating prank."You..." I gritted my teeth as I saw Mia standing among the students. Some were holding their phones, recording the ugly incident, no doubt.I was about to say something when I heard a voice behind me, "Oh my goodness! What on earth happened here?" The voice exclaimed, and I turned only to see one of the professors Father had introduced me to yesterday.Moving towards me, she asked, "What the hell happened to you?"I wanted to disappear from sight a

Liam’s POVWas it just me or this professor was acting really nice to Annalise? I was outside waiting for Annalise who was given a new set of clothes to change into. The professor came asking if the new student was inside and I nodded, Annalise was a new student and maybe he was one of the professors Mr. Smith introduced Annalise to.I expected him to leave and just wait elsewhere to see Anna but he stood with me after exchanging pleasantries with me. Doesn’t he have a class to go to? Was he jobless? Or is there someone else in the restroom he was waiting for?Annalise came out a while later and I saw him walk up to her even before I did,“Hello, you must be Annalise?” he stretched his hand for a handshake and Annalise took it a bit confused as she looked from me back to the man in front of her.“Hi, I am. Good morning,” she let out a smile that I knew wasn’t as genuine as the one she usually gives to me.“I’m Professor Ken, I heard about what happened at the class and decided to com

Annalise’s POVGetting into the class, I met Professor Ken already teaching, and gave him a slight bow before heading to the empty seat, but before I could sit down, I heard Professor Ken ask,“I hope you were able to resolve whatever was so urgent with the guy outside. He looked really worried,” “Huh?” Was Liam that worried? But it wasn’t like something was going on in the hospital.“Yes, yes, we were able to resolve it, thank you,” I replied when I noticed the entire class was now staring at me since the Professor was doing the same.I sighed and began to play with the weave bracelet and then it hit me why Liam did what he did. Oh, he can't be serious?! Was he…? I brought out my phone and typed a long message to him and was going to click send when I paused and added,P.S. I love the bracelet. This is the second time Liam has given me such a nice gift, I wonder what to get for him. I'll ask Grandma what date was his birthday. Grandma? No, no, I'll just ask him. I can only imagin

Annalise's POV. "Annalise, can I speak to you for a minute?" Professor Ken asked as the class ended. I raised an eyebrow, wondering what he wanted to discuss."Um, alright sir." I nodded and stood up, as I moved out of the class, deep murmurs followed me out and I just sighed. The first day wasn't really good, not that I was expecting anything less especially when the woman who hates me so much in the world was in the same school.Professor Ken was standing outside the classroom, and I couldn't help but notice how good-looking and well-built he was. I hoped it was normal for students and professors to have discussions after classes; the last thing I needed was more gossip."Hello, Annalise," he greeted warmly. "It's really great to have a talent like you in our midst. I'm sorry about your bad experience earlier, but if you ever need anything or help with any problems, I'll always make myself available to assist you."I opened my mouth to respond but found myself momentarily speechles

Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 104: Mother and Daughter in law
Author's POV In the quiet room, Lara was lying comfortably on the bed as she filed her nails and responded to the person on the other side of the phone. It was her mother,“Mother, why would I lie to you? Your best friend has suddenly changed her preference in women. She no longer cares if I'm the daughter of her best friend anymore. She wants me out” Lara snarled. Although, this has been going on for a while— how Mrs Walford started supporting Annalise since she found out that the lady was now a Smith but Lara didn't say a word about it, thinking Mrs Walford was trying to just get her hands on the wealth. What she didn't know was how Mrs Walford kept pushing her husband to go back to the slut. “I can't believe this. She dare not!” “As you must have heard, the ex daughter-in-law has suddenly become rich and famous, a person of influence and is making it in the business world. Mrs Walford no longer sees the slut in her,” Lara informed. Although she was upset about everything, she

Annalise's POV “I’ve missed you so much too Anna” Liam whispered, my back arched further into him. We were both having the time of our lives when the vibration from my phone caused me to pause. “Liam…” but he didn't plan to stop, I didn't want him to either so I ignored the call. Soon, the call ended and I sighed, ready to give my all to Liam when it started ringing again. Liam's hand on my ass couldn't let me concentrate until we heard a loud bang on the door, “Annalise, it's your Father!” I heard mother's voice and pushed Liam off the bed in fright. Liam landed on the ground with a thud, “Serves me right,” he groaned. “Sorry,” I whispered before rushing towards the door to open it, “What's it, Mother?” I saw Grandma J. standing next to Mother, she had a deep frown on her face. I wondered what was wrong— I was going to ask when Mother shoved the phone into my hand. That was when I noticed that Father was on the phone. “Hello Father,”“Annalise George Smith, where did you drop
Heartache To Hierarchy 102
Early Seduction Liam's POV The room was quiet, there were noises right outside the room but I remained seated on the bed, not saying a word but working on my phone. The sound of rushing water from the bathroom kept making me look towards the bathroom, not wanting to do so anymore. I moved to sit facing the wall instead of the bathroom door, yet I kept hearing the sound of water– completely disturbing me from my work. My thoughts filled with the person using the rushing water, I gulped time and time again. I was trying to focus on my phone, distract myself from my own thoughts but it wasn't working. Annalise had asked that I go over to the office and she would meet me up at the office but I refused. I wanted to take her to the party myself so I waited. She pulled me into the house and into her room without asking me if I wanted to be there. I suspected she must have done that because of her Grandma J but I wish she didn't. Now, I can't get my thoughts from thinking the right
Heartache To Hierarchy 101:Final Examination
Annalise's POV The loud ding of the bell rang around the classroom causing everyone to drop their pen. Professor Ken walked around picking up the answer booklet from our tables as he spoke,“This is the easiest examination I have ever set for my students, so I expect you all to get an A, right?” I wanted to snort, he probably must have been sleeping when he set the exams. This was the first examination that I didn't submit on time but the bell rang on me. “You all behind, come and drop your answer booklets on my desk,” He instructed as he walked back to his seat. The classroom was quiet, no one spoke, the atmosphere was heavy, like we all knew we had failed the examination. The only people with a lively mood were Mia and her minors. Somehow, they happened to have submitted even before the bell rang. Now, these ladies don't get this excited for other courses, making me wonder if they had done something behind our back to know answers to questions that weren't taught in class. “Ho
Heartache To Hierarchy 100:Dangerous Threat
Author's POV “Any news?” Mrs Walford asked but Benson shook his head dejectedly as he walked into his room, taking off his tie with one hand. His eyes dim, his face unsure of what to do next as he stared into space before sitting lazily on the bed. Mrs Walford could already understand her son's mood and was ready to do everything to make him happy again. “Don't tell me that's the reason you are this way? Come On boy, Annalise would definitely come around” “I… I don't know, mother. Can you see what's going on? Did you see the pictures out there? She's with Liam now” Benson sighed. He hated that he was feeling useless because of Annalise. This was someone he had used and treated like trash just a year back. Things had turned a 360 degree and he can't believe he had to drop his pride to get her back. Sending flowers and letters and even calling her. To the extent that his mother started sending the flowers herself, along with the letters as he was giving up already. “It's not over
Heartache To Hierarchy 99: Good News.
Liam's POV Days turned to weeks after the meeting with the family. Everyone became extremely busy, especially Annalise. I was busy of course with the company but I never stopped going to drop Anna in school and pick her up from school also. Our relationship only became better since the meeting and I just cannot believe I had been able to get to her heart. I was seated in my office with my computer staring at me because I was completely lost in thought, but the knock on the door caused me to regain myself, “Come in,” I ordered and my secretary stepped in. She bowed to me, “Good afternoon sir, the company from China just called.” I sat upright hearing this. This is a company I have been trying to secure a contract with for more than two weeks. “And?” I wondered why they didn't call me directly. “They would like to work with us, sir” she smiled and added, “They would send the contract via mail tomorrow.” I sighed in relief and let my body relax some more on the chair. This is goo
Heartache To Hierarchy 98: in love
Annalise POVThe words kept ringing in my head as I quieted down all of a sudden, I could see Grnadma’s smith lips moving but I couldn’t hear what she was saying. I was lost in thoughts. How can I get married now? I just got divorced a few months ago, how can I just jump to another marriage?“Our decision is final, I do not know how the both of you plan to do it but make it work,” Grandma Smith said before taking her seat.I could feel Liam’s gaze on me and his hand on my thigh still moving gently but I was lost. The fear of getting married to someone again. What if he changes immediately after marriage? What if he doesn’t want me any longer? What if he had a lover somewhere that would come later on to take her rightful place? Just like what happened with Benson.“Anna, Anna…” “Hey baby” I felt his hold tighten on my thigh and I noticed that all eyes were on me. Were they waiting for me to speak?“Annalise, you have to say something,” Father said and I moved my chair backwards and Li
Heartache To Hierarchy 97:Family meeting
Annalise's POV It was an impromptu family meeting and I knew why it was held. Of course, it was because of what happened between Liam and I. When we thought everyone deleted the content that day, the pictures were still spread around. We didn't know who did it. One of the pictures was a picture of only me staring at the crowd with wide eyes, my hand holding the duvet tightly, Liam was somehow cut out of it. While the other picture was me looking at Liam as he looked back at me. In the picture, his chest was exposed for the world to see.Newspapers carried it, business news, social media, it was everywhere. When I got home that day, I had slept off until late evening when Grandma J and Mother came rushing into the room to show me the pictures. I didn't know Grandma J was on Instagram until that day. This one keeps surprising me.But that wasn't my concern as my mouth dropped when I saw the content, I thought Grandma Smith asked the entire thing to be deleted. I immediately called G
Heartache To Hierarchy 96:Ruined plan
Arthur's POV Mia stood in front of Grandma Smith and Father, she was staring at them but shut herself from listening to what they were saying. She didn't care one bit about their yelling and their screaming. She could hardly sleep the night before knowing that her plan was already on, she was so sure that everything had fallen into place. That is why she couldn't understand how everything went haywire. She had gotten a call at the party that Annalise was already in the room and she also saw when Anna was taken into the elevator. There cannot be mistakes, she had also called Professor Ken before going to meet Liam and Annalise was already in room 315. So while Grandma Smith and her Father were yelling at her, she wasn't even listening. How was it, Liam? How? That was why she confidently woke her Father and Grandma Smith up saying she had something important to show them. Before they got back to Dreamland, she had called the media to position themselves.
