Annalise's POV.

Good Lord!

Why her?!

I don't like Sasha and she despises me, I hate her because of how miserable she made me feel but I don't know why she hates me and I never bother to find out cause it was probably gonna be stupid anyway.

Sasha strutted over, flanked by her usual entourage of mean wealthy girls, each one smirking as if they had just won the lottery. I clenched my jaw, bracing myself for whatever new torment she had cooked up... I knew without a doubt that nothing good comes with her, I wonder if she knew I was the same doctor she was thanking for saving her husband's life. She didn't see me back then because I was wearing a mask but the media took the news and she must have known.

However, judging by her arrogant look, there's a high chance that she doesn't know her husband's savior.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Annalise, slumming it with the commoners," Sasha sneered, her voice dripping with malice.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "What do you want

    Annalise's POV. "I can't believe you're going to the get-together after a long time, it's really great to see you trying to socialize again, it's great." Mother said as we were having breakfast and I sighed. "It was a terrible mistake mom, I don't know what made me accept to go, the whole shit is today's evening and I'm not even in the mood, I don't feel ready for such shits and I will never be ready, I don't wanna go." I whined, playing with my food. I had lost my appetite because it's Saturday morning. I love weekends but for once in my life, I wish it was Monday already, I don't wanna go to the shitty get-together. Not after my video confrontation with Sasha was a hot topic in the group. I never really give a fuck about the group and I actually didn't intend to go to the get-together but now, I'm so stuck... I have pride and it would be a slap on my face if I don't go. Liam had urged me to go but I don't even have anything suitably to wear; that's me lying to myself, my wardrob

    Annalise's POV. "All set!" The lady responsible for decking me up announced joyfully after what seems like eternity to me, it's weird and crazy how I was still alive, my butt hurt and I feel so different. "Here ma'am, your heel." She said and I just groaned clearly showing my displeasure."Can I wear one of my sneakers instead? My legs hurt a lot." I lied; my legs don't hurt, I just don't wanna wear any heels, it's so uncomfortable to me and I think hell would freeze over before I'll love them."Um. Ma'am, it's best you wear your heels, that's what suits your dressing, your grandmas and Mr. Liam strictly instructed me to make sure you look your best and that's what I'm trying my best to do, please cooperate with me and we'll be done in no time." She explained in a humble manner and I bit back my harsh response.These people are pushing me to the walls and that's so fucking unfair, I don't wanna wear heels and they want me to wear... Don't they realize that I'm an adult already? "Yo

    Annalise’s povThe ride was a quiet one, neither I nor Liam spoke a word as I was deep in thought. Although Liam had been speaking, I ignored him as I lost myself in deep thought. I was anxious and nervous; I don’t know why I accepted to attend that day. I wish I could ask Liam to reverse.I am sure that was why Grandma wanted Liam to take me to the reunion himself, she knows her granddaughter so well. I will simply change my direction and act like I went when I didn’t.As much as I am eager to face-slap those monkeys, I don’t think I want to anymore. I just want some peace and quiet. We finally made it to the hotel where the party was to be held; my eyes remained at the entrance of the hotel as I watched some people go in and out.“Nervous?” I heard Liam ask from the side.“You have no idea,” I replied with a sigh. His hand reached for mine he gave it a light squeeze causing me to turn to him.“You’ll do just fine,” he assured me and I smiled. That wasn’t assuring but knowing he wou

    Liam’s POVInside the car, I sat and stared at Annalise as she finally moved her feet and walked into the hotel. I didn’t know whether to laugh at the stunt that she played or frown at the bulge in my trousers that hadn’t reduced. She almost made me go insane, I was fooled completely and didn’t realize that that was what she was up to.Annalise wasn’t the type to speak such raw words so I should have suspected but it didn’t even cross my mind that she was playing a trick on me.Yesterday I got a call from Grandma Smith saying she knows Grandma J had asked me to go with Anna. The moment Grandma J asked that from me, I had cleared up my schedule for the whole day and the next because I wanted to be fully concentrated on Anna. Scenarios of her getting drunk and having to be there to watch her until the next morning, everything made me cancel my plans for the next two days for her.But Grandma Smith's next words made me pause as I couldn’t understand why she didn’t want me to go with Anna

    Annalise's POV. 'Deep breath Anna, take a deep breath and don't fucking think about the kiss or your failed seduction' I chant those words in my mind as I head towards the venue, I'm pretty sure some of my mates saw the little drama display. Something in me wishes they hadn't why the other savage part of me raised a middle finger to them and whatever shit they wanna talk about. "Your invitation, ma'am." A deep masculine voice brought me to a halt as I was about to enter the hall. "Invitation?" I asked as I looked at the burly man by the door, what invitation was he talking about, I had entered this place without an invitation, why did I need an invitation to enter the Hall?"Yes, ma'am, you can't access this part of the hotel unless you're part of the ex-students or have an invitation as a guest." He explained and I took in a deep breath in order not to roll my eyes at him. "My mates are in there and I'm not a guest, will you allow me in now?" I asked, looking around, everyone ins

    Annalise's POV: As they all announced what they would do to me tonight, I tried as much as I could to remain calm and recall Grandma Smith's words to me. Somehow, I find her encouraging words always strengthen me. The crowd slowly began to divert their attention to the small crew around me. Something I really didn't want today was attention. I felt a push by the side of my shoulder, “You haven't told us who is going to save you,” Elsa questioned. “I don't need saving from anyone, Elsa. Unlike you who kept Hannah by your side because you knew your strength wasn't as big as your mouth that would continuously get you into trouble where you would need some saving” Now, this was my starting point. If I'm going to beat all six of them without lifting a finger, I have to make them go against each other. And Hannah would be my starting point. “And who told you that I don't have the strength to beat you?” She asked, ignoring my comment. “Oh, so you agree that's the reason you kept Hanna

    Liam's POVI didn't bother to wait outside for David to show up before I got into the hotel. Because I wanted to see every bit of Annalise at the reunion, I booked one of the private rooms upstairs with transparent glass walls. From where I sat, I could see the event that was going on downstairs. “God bless the architect and interior designer of this building,” I murmured as I positioned myself on the chair that was facing the glass wall. It didn't take long before the door opened, David came in, thanking the lady who brought him there. As he did that, he stared at her ass as she walked back and I shook my head. He hasn't changed a bit. “Woaw!” He breathed out before finally moving his gaze at me, “My dear friend,” he grinned so wide as he made his way to where I was. I was going to shake his hand and focus back on Annalise but the moment we shook hands, he pulled me up. “Man!” He burst into laughter after seeing me on both legs again. His laughter and joy were so contagious that

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

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
