Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 50: At The Restaurant
Annalise's POV“Are you going somewhere?” Mother asked and I nodded, “Yes, I am going to tell Liam the good news” I replied before walking over to where Liam sat, “Stand up, we don't have all the time in the world. We have to leave here before the day gets dark” I had spoken in a hurry, almost pulling Liam up so we could leave already. “You know, it's more beautiful when the day is dark,” Grandma said. I didn't need any more signs to know that there was no better time to leave than now. Liam was still staring at me like a hawk, does he know I am trying to avoid questions like… where are you going? Is he your boyfriend now? “Liam, I know my granddaughter is beautiful but you have to get up before she swats your head. Take a look at her face” Grandma announced and the idiot actually moved his eyes to my face. A deeper frown formed on my face as I glared at him, “I'll be outside!” Before I got to the door, Liam had walked past me and opened the door for me. Without thanking him,
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 51: Clash.
Annalise's POV. Taking a deep, calming breath, I struggled to contain the storm raging within me. Just seeing them alone sent my blood boiling; they were living reminders of a past I wanted to forget. Why did they have to intrude on our dinner now of all times?"Why can't they just enjoy their own meal and leave us in peace?" I muttered under my breath, barely containing my frustration as I glared at them. "Hello, Lara, nice to see you here," I forced out, my smile feeling like it was tearing at the corners of my mouth. I turned to Benson, who looked like a lost puppy. "And Benson, how are you doing?""It's not good to see you, Annalise. There's nothing good about seeing you," Lara spat venomously, her words like daggers aimed at my heart. "Hope you've heard that the Walford family has regained their footing in the business world? Your family's attempt to ruin them didn't work. They're back, and they're stronger than ever!"I fought to maintain my composure, refusing to let Lara's w
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 52: Liam Ryan.
Annalise's POV. The guards arrived, their imposing figures casting a shadow over the table. They stood tall and imposing, their presence commanding attention as they surveyed the scene before them."What seems to be the problem here ma'am?" one of the guards asked, his voice firm and authoritative as he stared at Lara who was all smiles. I was pretty sure she was enjoying her little show of power."Is there anyone disturbing your peace ma'am?" Another asked, I rolled my eyes and made to stand up but Liam drew my hand back and I gave him a suspicious look, however, he just gave me that dazzling smile of his.Lara wasted no time in pointing an accusatory finger in my direction. "These individuals are causing a disturbance," she declared, her tone dripping with disdain. "They're not welcome here, and I want them removed immediately."I glared angrily at her, my jaw clenched with frustration. "We're not causing any disturbance," I shot back, my voice laced with defiance. "We're simply tr
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 53: To Get The Heir.
Author's POV“Son, what's going on? Where's Lara?” Mrs Walford asked the moment she saw her son step into the house with a grumpy face. Looking behind him, she couldn't find her daughter-in-law to be, “Where's Lara?” She asked again when Benson didn't reply to her but was only taking his shoes off. “She's gone to her parent's house. She has a lot of explanation to do” he replied as he raised his head to look at his mother. Tears swelled up in his eyes when he recalled the humiliation he had to go through because of Lara. At first, when he caught sight of Annalise, he wanted to leave immediately and have nothing to do with that family again but Lara had told him that she had it under control. He was humiliated for the second time by Annalise. “What's wrong?” His mother walked up to him when she noticed his mood. Benson didn't have a smile on his face, he hated the guts of Liam so much. “It's Annalise!” He spat through gritted teeth. Mrs Walford raised her brows before asking, “Wh
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 54: A Kiss.
Annalise's POV“Thank you for tonight, I had a wonderful night,” I said to Liam when I noticed we were close to the house already. He has been smiling since Benson and Lara left the restaurant. Shaking my head, I asked,“Why didn't you tell me you own the restaurant?” “I'm full of surprises, Annalise Smith. There are a lot of things you don't know about me but I'll gradually reveal those to you” he spoke like some wise man causing me to roll my eyes at him playfully. I was grateful for his help. Although I had planned to unleash my anger on Lara and Benson on second thought I decided to leave them. After all, the best answer given to a fool is silence but I'm also glad Liam did it his way. “What are you doing tomorrow?” He asked and I raised a brow at him. “Well, I'll be resuming medical school on Monday so I think I'll be preparing myself for it. I can't remember the last time I read a book” I giggled. He nodded,“Good luck. I know you'll do well” “Thanks, Liam. Do you know tha
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 55: Awkward.
Annalise's POV. As I stood frozen in front of my family, the knock came again and I swallowed hard, trying to move but I couldn't. "Where are the servants?" Father asked, looking around. "Oh, don't... Don't stress it daddy, I'll go get the door." I mumbled but didn't move.Panic surged through me. What was he doing here? I glanced around, searching for an escape route, but there was none. My family's expectant faces turned towards me, waiting for an explanation."Um, it's just... I'll go get the door!" I stammered, feeling the sweat gathering on my forehead. "But who could it be by this time? Are you expecting someone, Anna?" Grandma J asked and my mind raced to come up with a plausible excuse as I stared at my curious family. "It must be um... Liam, must've... uh... Must have come to say hi to you guys."My mother's eyes widened before they went cold again, and Grandma J shot me a knowing look that said, "Spill the beans, young lady." But what fucking beans am I to spill, it's n
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 01: Mistreated.
Annalise's POV"Annalise!" I heard my name from the living room and rushed there. It was my mother-in-law calling. With her were three visitors. I never knew she was expecting visitors."Ma," I answered the minute I got there but a dirty slap landed on my cheeks causing my face to turn from one side to the other. I couldn't hear a thing because my ears kept ringing, and my hands covered my cheek as I stared at the woman before me. "Didn't you hear me call for you ever since? Do I have to scream and lose my voice before you come running down?" She raised her hand again and I staggered back, not wanting to be slapped again."Get the hell out of my face and get my guests some wine and cookies" I didn't bother to argue and turned on my heels as tears rolled down my eyes. Before I knew it, I felt a strong pull by my hair causing me to follow the hand that pulled it, "Argghhh…!" I whined in pain, "Mother, please stop!" *SLAP”"Who's your mother?" She asked with anger in her eyes as sh

She showed me the way to Derek's room.I barged in only to freeze. Looking around, I found mother, Benson, and father in the room. Mother was crying bitterly, I shook my head with my eyes closed, "No," I muttered, my body trembling and soul unwilling to accept the truth before me. I forced myself to move from where I stood by the door to the bed, it couldn't be my son that the doctor was covering with a white cloth. No!"Doc… doctor? What is…. Is going on?" I stuttered. "I'm sorry," he replied but I ignored him as I made my way to my boy. My son, my only son. "Derek?" I called, taking the cloth off his face, "
