Chapter 58: Shades Of Malice

last update Last Updated: 2024-05-26 00:57:44

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?"

    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.

    Annalise's POVLiam didn't respond to me for a long time, all we did was hug and remained that way for a while. The scent of his cologne assaulted my nostrils. “You did amazing,” he finally said, pulling me away from his hug. I grinned as I took off the nose mask. I had taken off the gloves in the operation room. “Thank you, Liam, but what are you doing here? How did you know you were at the hospital?” He only smiled and began to pull me away from the emergency area. “Grandma J called me,” he replied. “That woman” I shook my head wondering when she would stop all this. “How are you?” Liam asked, his eyes filled with concern and I sighed. “I'm hungry,” I told him. I wasn't only hungry, I was tired and sleepy too. “There's a good restaurant down the road,” Liam informed and I nodded before slipping into the room to change the doctor's gown back to my clothes. After some time, I came back with my hair packed in a ponytail and began to walk out with my bag when one of the doctors

    Liam's POV The people kept coming around to say Hello and I smiled and shook hands with them and I was already tired. Where was Anna? Isn't she taking too long in the ladies room?After she left, I had gone to the security men by the door to ask if they had seen Benson walk him but they replied that they were strictly told not to allow the Wilford family in so obviously Benson wasn't there. It gave me ease but seeing now that Annalise hasn't returned, I don't know what to think anymore. I had deliberately not left my position so she could easily find me amongst the crowd when she came back but she still wasn't back. “Hey Liam” it was Mia and I looked at her from the crown of her head to her toes. Wasn't this the same gown that Anna wore? “You like it, right?” She asked, her eyes glowing like a child waiting for praise, I sighed, “Hello Mia, are you looking for someone?” I asked. “No, why would you ask that?” She asked me and I shrugged, my eyes fixed in the direction of the lady

    Annalise's POV Getting to the restroom, I bumped into someone and dropped my purse. I quickly apologized and was about to pick my purse up when the person's shoe stepped on it, almost stepping on my hand. I raised my head up to see Mia staring right back at me with a smug. “Oh, so it wasn't a mistake after all” I raised myself back up leaving the purse on the floor. Mia stood there with her arms crossed looking so beautiful, her hair neatly fell to the sides like mine. She was wearing a gown similar to mine, the only difference was the color, hers was green. I wonder why she had done that. How she knew what I was wearing and why she had to wear exactly that. Or was it just a coincidence? “Annalise, what a pleasant surprise” she acted like she always does. And I crossed my arms, “Is it pleasant to you? It isn't to me. You see, when I bumped into you, I could perceive something but I didn't want to say a thing but knowing that it's you, I now understand why I had perceived disgust”

    Annalise POV Liam, as the driver and the gentleman that he was, held the car door and I stepped into the passenger's seat while he made his way to the driver's seat and entered. “So you did get the outfit. Tell me, who—” I swallowed back the rest of my words when Liam covered my lips with his. I thought we weren't doing this. I didn't stop him but quickly responded, my hand let go of my purse as I held his jaws before my hand slipped to the back of his head. The kiss wasn't a slow one or an innocent kiss, it was demanding and filled with so much desire that I wondered how I didn't notice it earlier. I moaned as his hand reached for my ass and gave it a light squeeze causing me to moan some more. “Fuck!” He broke the kiss and cussed, “Fuck, Annalise, my self-control is slipping away” he announced. His eyes staring right at me, his face was so close to mine and his breath literally fanning my skin. I had gone red as I tried to catch my breath, God, I had never had it this good. I

    Annalise POV “My exams are coming up, Liam, I don't have time to party. The party is supposed to be at the end of the year. Why now?” I asked as I dropped the book I was reading on the bed before stepping down from the bedToday is finally the day of the party and as much as I wanted to please Grandma Smith by enjoying all of this, I have an exam to prepare for. Not to forget that the emergency calls almost every day at the hospital made me miss a lot of classes. I walked towards the dressing mirror as I listened to Liam explain how women could be when it came to parties, and he laughed at me for being a different kind of woman. “Well, as long as I would have another opportunity to spend time with you, I don't mind. I don't care if they decide to arrange a party every week” he held back a chuckle and I rolled my eyes. Unbelievable, they must have gotten used to always going to gatherings. I hated it and avoided it when I was in school. I don't know how long I would survive it. “T

  • 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
