Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 72: Prince Charming.
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
Last Updated : 2024-07-01Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 75:ANNALISE IS THE SHARK
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
Last Updated : 2024-07-07Heartache 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

Heartache To Hierarchy 93:Fourth floor, room 315
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
Heartache To Hierarchy 92: Win Or Lose
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”
Heartache To Hierarchy 91:Just can't stay away.
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
Heartache To Hierarchy 90:Her driver
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 89: Party prep
Annalise’s POVBefore Kelvin could respond to my question, Father and the rest of the family came out making me furrow my brows. Did they decide to follow Liam out or what?I wouldn’t be surprised if only Father and Grandpa Smith had stepped out but for the entire family to come out, something was going on.Kelvin came to stand beside me while Liam stopped pushing the swing,“Is everything alright?” I asked Father with a smile and he nodded,“Yes, my child. Your grandma has an announcement to make” he informed before turning to look at Grandma who was making herself comfortable on the other swing beside me. I waited for her to speak along with the rest of the family. They didn’t seem to know what she was going to say either. Curiosity almost eating me up.“Kelvin, come give your grandma a push” she instructed making me raise my brow a bit.“Yes, my lady” Kelvin walked behind her and began to push her gently. I smiled.“There’s going to be a party coming up. It’s a collaboration we nor

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
