Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 56: First Day
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 57: Confrontation.
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 58: Shades Of Malice
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 59:Goodluck gift
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 60: Gossips.
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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 61: Gifts
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 62: A Friend.
Annalise's POV. A few minutes later, I was still in Liam's car trying to calm down. He had snatched the keys from me and forced me into the passenger seat when I had insisted on driving. "How's the killing mode?" he asked, a smirk playing on his lips. "Still high!" I replied, clenching my fists. The urge to punch something...preferably Benson...was overwhelming. How could he send me gifts after everything that had happened between us? "Oh God!" I cursed, blinking back hot tears.Liam reached over, trying to soothe me. "Calm down, I'll deal with him personally, I promise." I looked at him with a sad smile. He had been equally enraged when I told him about the gifts, but instead of acting on his anger, he was trying to pacify me. "Don't worry about it," he continued. "If Grandma Smith finds out, it would not be cool. I just wonder how he gets to know about my whereabouts. Is he spying on me or something?" I asked, grabbing a bottle of water to take a drink."Not really," Liam repli
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 63: Emergency
Annalise POVI sat on the dining table, staring at my phone as it continued to ring, my eyes widened in shock. I had wished this never happened until Father got back and it happened on the first day!“What's wrong, Anna? Why aren't you picking up the call?” Grandma J asked and I bit my lower lip before slowly picking up the phone and answering the call, “Hello, Am I speaking with Doc Annalise?” I'm not a doctor yet! I had just got admitted into the school and it was my first day today. Father had made sure to save all their contacts on my phone and mine on the hospital phones as well in case there was an emergency. “Huh, yeah…” “There is an emergency, ma'am. Your father asked me to call you and you'll handle it” My jaws clenched as I swore a million times for Mr. George in my head. “I'll be right there!” I replied before getting up from my seat. “Duty calls?” Grandma asked and I nodded. I didn't even get to savor my meals before they called. I was still hungry but whatever emer

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
