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

    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

    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

    Annalise's POVWhile I was giving them instructions on what to do, I was preparing the potion for the bullet wound, it has to stop the bleeding from pumping out so fast they could have time to stitch the wound and cover it up. They stood still waiting for me to give another instruction, and as much as I wanted to give the instructions, my hands were cold as I didn't know if this potion was the right one and if it would work for the purpose it was created. If this doesn't work, there isn't enough time to create the right one. There's no time to right a wrong, it will be the end. I don't know what I would do if my first surgery ended just like that. Just then, Liam's face flashed through my mind. How I had done nonsense and poured whatever my hand touched to make medicine for him the first time I had seen him. Funny enough, I had made them to reduce his fever, but it had done more than its purpose. I heard in my head, ‘It's not the medicine or the antidote, it's who made it, who is

    Liam's POV“Liam, your phone” Mother called me and I walked over to where she was and took the phone from her to answer the call. When I saw who was calling, I was shocked. I didn't know why Grandma J would call all of a sudden so I picked up hoping nothing was wrong with Anna.“Grandma?”“My grandson, how are you doing?” she asked and I almost sighed in relief, happy that her voice wasn't one of panic or tension. “I’m okay, Grandma, how are you? Is everything fine?” “Of course, of course,” she answered but I could hear underneath her voice that there was more she wanted to spill out, before I could ask, she began, “Do you know that Annalise is in the emergency room as we speak?”My heart skipped, my blood ran cold and my eyes widened as I asked for clarity,“I… I don't understand…. Anna is in the hospital?” As the question came out of my mouth I was in search of my car keys. My hand reached for the shirt I had just taken off a few minutes ago.“Oh, don't be scared, my boy.

    Chapter Early SeductionLiam'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 righ

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Annalise POV Bang! The loud sound caused me to jump up from the bed in shock, a scream followed, “I told you, she is a whore! A whore! Your heir is a—” Mia paused as she looked at us. My heart was in my mouth when I noticed what was going on. My hands held tightly to the duvet that covered my naked body, my chest heaving up and down as I watched the people who had barged into the unfamiliar room. Then I turned to the figure beside me and my eyes widened some more as I saw Liam. He didn't bother to cover his upper body, his toned skin appeared for all to see. I gulped as I could hear the sounds of cameras clicking, but my gaze remained on the man beside me, Liam. His gaze met mine and I saw how his hard gaze suddenly softened as he asked, “How are you?” Completely ignoring the crowd before us. My mouth opened and closed again as I felt the burn from my cheeks to my neck. All that happened last flooded my memory and even if it didn't, it was so evident in Liam's body. Christ! I

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   94:One hot night

    Liam's POV The moans and how her voice had suddenly changed, filled me up causing me to completely lose it. As much as my erect was screaming for her, I don't know what Annalise would do if I gave in. She's not in her right state of mind and having her now, would she kill me? I didn't get to think much about this because her soft hands began to undo my button in a hurry. I was stunned because she let go of my shirt went straight to the zip of my trousers and helped me undo them.My suit was already off my body, Annalise was shaking, she was impatiently and desperately trying to get my cock out of its cage. Her eyes were teary, her lips parted slightly. She wasn't able to get through as quickly as she wanted because she gave up and just sat on my still-covered dick and began to ride me. Her back pressed on my chest as she moved up and down my length. “Uhmmmm” she moaned and soon, she began to lift herself up and down in desperation as she cried. “Fuck!” I cussed and quickly turned
