last update Last Updated: 2024-07-12 20:06:51

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

    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. "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 “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 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 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 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

    Annalise’s pov Kelvin and I kept speaking until we were called for lunch and as much as I really wanted to eat with Grandma and Father, the thought of the past came back strong into my memory, there was no way I was eating with this family. “I took something at Liam’s office, I’m not hungry” I gave an excuse that made Liam narrow his eyes at me. Yes, that was a lie, but what else can I do? Once bitten twice shy. The family looked at me but I didn’t care about what they thought or said, I made my way out of the house. The thought of what happened then still floods my mind like it was yesterday. As for whether I had forgiven them for what they did, I’m not sure I can. “You’re good?” I turned to see Kelvin running after me. He was a slim handsome young boy. He has brown hair which matches his eyes and gap teeth that make him look really cute. I can’t believe I have a stepbrother that was completely different from the rest. I really wanted to know which of the women was his mother but

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

    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

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   101:Final Examination

    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. This is goo

    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. Kelvin only tagged along be

    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
