Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 26:A Feast
“Grandma!” I called out in shock. She was dressed in a purple long gown. She looked so beautiful. When I went out earlier, she wasn't there so I was sure she had gone out and just come in “Hello, my grandchild,” she moved closer to me and gave me a hug which I reciprocated quickly. “Hello, hello, Annalise, are you still there?” Grandma J asked and I pulled from Grandma to get the phone. “Yes Grandma, actually, my grandma is here,” I turned to Grandma before saying to her,“My grandma and Mother would like to pay me a visit. Is that okay with you?” “You do not have to ask me that, Anna. You're the heir here, what you say, goes.” Grandma replied.“Alright, Grandma said it's okay. You both can come to see me. I've missed—” I was already about to give them the gist of how I've been dying to see them when Grandma asked with folded arms,“So they are coming just to see you? The rest of us in the family are furniture?” I bit my tongue. She had said it so loudly that I knew that Grandma
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 27: Poisoned.
Annalise's POV. As the car pulled up, I stood at the entrance with my father and Grandma, eager to welcome my maternal family, my step-family was forced to come and I wish Grandma shouldn't have.The door opened, and there they were—Mom and Grandma J stepping out, my mom had this empty look on her pretty face while Grandma J looked all happy. I couldn't contain my excitement, my face lit up in pure happiness,"Welcome, Grandma J! Welcome, Mom!" I exclaimed, rushing forward to hug them. Grandma J gave me a tight squeeze, while Mom seemed a bit reserved, I know she's very uncomfortable coming here. "Ah, Annalise! Look at you, the heiress of the Smith family. I'm so proud of how your life took a major twist," Grandma J beamed."Thank you, Grandma J. We're delighted to have you here," I replied with a smile, trying to ignore the deadly glare from my step-siblings and moms. "Hey V." Dad smiled coming towards us with Grandma who was all smiles too, "Don't V me here." Mother muttered, t
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 28: Immune To Poison.
Annalise's POV.The hospital's sterile, white walls felt suffocating as Dad began to rush into the emergency room that accommodated Mom and Grandma J.Panic gripped me and my pleas to treat them immediately fell on deaf ears, "I can help Dad, Grandma, I can help him with treatment, please let me in. We need to act fast! The poison is ancient and deadly. I can help them, let me treat them!" I insisted, urgency lacing my words.Grandma, still clinging to her belief in Dad's abilities, responded, "Your father is gifted in medicine too, Annalise. He'll take care of them, you'll see how miraculous he'll treat them.""But Grandma, the antidote is complicated, the surgery is tough. We can't waste time!" I argued, frustration building within me, and the urge to start screaming like a mad woman welled up in me but I controlled myself, "Oh, good Lord! Why can't you all understand, this isn't an ordinary poison, it's not!!" I screamed and dropped on the nearest chair, "You're not in the best
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 29:Coma!
The next time I opened my eyes, I was staring up at the white ceiling. My head was aching really bad, I held my head with both hands, all the events that happened flooded into my head again My eyes widened as I screamed, sitting upright,“Grandma! Mother!” “Hey, hey, hey, calm down,” I jolted my head to the side to see Liam sitting beside me on a chair. “How are you feeling?” He asked me but I shook my head before flipping the bedsheet off of me. I needed to see my family, “How are they?” I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks some more. My head was aching really bad, but I ignored it. My family was more important than anything else. “Annalise, you need to rest,” “How the fuck are they, Liam?” I yelled before adding, “If you don't tell me, no problem. I'll get the information myself by going there!” I was about to pull out the IV on me when he held my hand, “Fine, I'll tell you. I'll tell you, do not hurt yourself, Annalise,” I gulped then asked,“How's my family?” He looked
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 30: Failed
Annalise's POV. "This should do, just a little more drop..." I kept mumbling as I prepared the treatment, it wasn't so hard, I don't know how I knew it but I know it, maybe what they said about me being gifted is true after all,Everything that had been happening to me further proved to me that I might truly be the gifted one. I could see through a body and know which part the damage is and the medicine to use, I understand them, I know how to go about them, and I enjoy doing this. There's some kind of solitude that comes with preparing the herbs, though it took a lot of toil to get some of the ingredients, it was worth it, those that aren't that important are replaced by some modern chemical my dad made. "How's it coming up?" I heard Liam ask and I turned to give him a sweet look. He has helped me and supported me to be here. I don't even know what to say about him, he's truly sweet. "Good, just keep steering that, do not stop till the time stops counting," I warned and he nodde
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 31: Don't Dare Touch Her
“You're under arrest ma'am,” the policeman repeated as he moved closer to Annalise with the handcuffs in his hands. “Wait, there has to be a mistake somewhere,” Liam said as he tried to speak to the police officers. “I'm sorry, sir but we have a warrant to arrest her for the attempted murder of Mrs Vivian and Madam Juliet” the policeman explained. I stood there still like a dead cod fish as I watched everything play before my eyes. No words could come out of my lips, I kept staring at them as tears continued to roll down my cheeks. Did they think I'd kill my own family? The ones that had been with me since I was born and had stood by me all my life? They put the cuffs on me and I snapped out of my trance, “But I didn't…” I felt weak, I couldn't even complete my statement. Mother's words kept replaying in my head how she kept saying she doesn't trust the family and they are no good. I should have listened to her, I should have never come with my father. Liam tried to speak with t
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 32: Not Just An Ant.
Annalise's POV."But grandma, she is giving our hospital a bad name. She might not truly be the gifted one. The concoctions she prepared nearly killed her own family. How can we entrust her with the millions of lives that have trust in this family's skills? I don't think it's right to have her here. We should revoke her medical license before she tarnishes this hospital's name," Mia said, and I just sighed. I was too tired to argue with her nonsense."Look, darling, Anna is new to all this. She will undergo proper training. I'm sure there must be a mix-up somewhere. My spirit knows the gifted one, and I am a hundred percent sure that my Annalise here is the gifted one. She's presently going through some hard times, and hence she must have made some mistakes while preparing the medicine," Grandma defended me again.Why couldn't they all just go home like the rest of the family? I needed to think. My family's life was in danger, and I knew that deep within me, I could heal them. I just
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 33: Another Chance
“That's why I need your permission, Grandma,” I whispered at the end hoping Grandma would consider and give me a chance. Right now, she happens to be the only one in her right state of mind. I can't tell Father about this, he doesn't look like he would trust me enough for it. “Anna,” Grandma called, her voice cracked and she cleared it, “I trust you, but are you sure?” With squinted eyes, she asked me. I nodded confidently even though I knew I wasn't so sure of myself.Grandma J would always say whenever I ask her how she knows what herbs to use, she'll always say that the plant called her. She feels the plants talking to her, she feels connected to that particular herb at that particular time and I literally felt this when I prepared the first medicine. This is the reason I am not so sure anymore or else someone had tampered with the medicine. But who could have? Liam and I were the only ones there in the room while I was preparing the medicine and I literally heard those ingredi
