Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 18:Annalise George Smith
I watched my father take the mic as he stood on the stage. His face glowed with a smile, and everyone could tell that he was excited. He was dressed in a dark blue tuxedo, vibrant and full of life. One could tell without knowing him properly that he was a wealthy man. The way he carried himself spoke volumes. At first, he addressed the public, telling them how happy he was that they could make it to the party on such short notice. Even I am shocked about that, just yesterday they were invited and boom! More than a thousand people are here. "Are you okay?" Liam asked from the side and I forced a smile at him. My fingers were trembling, my palms sweaty and I couldn't stop stamping my left foot on the ground out of nervousness. "I'm fine," I replied before inhaling and exhaling some air to calm myself. I have never been in such a position before and I am praying earnestly not to faint before I get on stage. "Just yesterday…" Father's words flew into my ears, "I found out that I had
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 19: The Heir.
Annalise's POV. My heart raced, and I felt the room spin as my father's words hung in the air. "The heir... Annalise George Smith!" The name echoed through the hall. Gasps of surprise rippled through the guests, their eyes turning toward me and I wish the ground to give way beneath me."Dad, what... what are you saying?" I stammered, the weight of the revelation sinking in. The life I had known, one of humble origins, shattered as the truth about my life was revealed. The gasps around me reflected the disbelief that clenched my own heart."You, my dear, are the one with the gift," my father explained, his voice resonating, his eyes holding a mixture of pride and expectation. The world I thought I knew crumbled, replaced by the new responsibility of inheriting an empire."But... But... I... You.." I stuttered, my heart on the verge of beating out of my chest.Good Lord! What's happening?!"Darling..." I heard a familiar feminine voice called and I slowly turned to see my grandma headi
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 20: Walford Family
It was like I had suddenly become intimidating to them because their eyes kept darting left and right. Grandma kept speaking about how she got to know the Walford family and how nice they are and I couldn't help but smirk. Nice, huh? No matter how well Grandma said she knew them, I can boldly say that I knew them better. I stayed with them and have experienced each and every one of them firsthand. I didn't want to cause a scene here in the party, my party so when Grandma finally said,"Mr. and Mrs. Walford, meet my daughter, Annalise George Smith," I quickly stretched out my hand for them to take in a handshake, acting like I didn't know them, I forced out a smile, "Hello, nice to meet you," Nice to meet you. Definitely not them The look on their face switched immediately from fear to confusion. I swear, they might be wondering if I wasn't the same Annalise they had sent out of their house a few weeks ago. My hand remained hanging as none of them had taken it yet and Grandma sq
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 21: Downfall
"Security!" Grandma kept yelling, causing everyone to look our way. I almost shrank as I inwardly prayed that the ground open and swallow me. I saw Father rushing towards us, and Liam also had come from wherever he hid himself. I didn't know why Grandma loved to be the center of attention. I am not against it but can you not add me to it, Grandma? "Mother, what's wrong?" Father asked and I glanced at Grandma hoping she wouldn't tell the world that her granddaughter got divorced. I don't know how I would be able to look at anyone in the eyes I think Grandma sensed how I was feeling because she said, "This family here disrespected my granddaughter, the heir to the Smith family and I want them thrown out of this ball right this minute!" Her voice was loud and if you didn't see her, you wouldn't know it was an old lady speaking. "Security!!" She screamed again and Father said, "Don't shout. The security will come, do not stress yourself they'll be thrown out," I looked at my father
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 22: The News
As father and Grandmother had said it was how it was because the next morning I woke up and went downstairs, I met half of the family staring at the TV as the newscaster explained how the Walford family had gone bankrupt. Even though I knew Father and Grandmother had the power to do so, I couldn't understand how that had happened so fast like lightning. Not only did they destroy the entire company, they made sure the news carried it. Oh boy! Don't mess with the Smith family. I stood there staring at the television, forgetting the reason I had come downstairs in the first place. My eyes were wide in shock as I watched how their trade status dropped so bad, it would take the grace of God to bring it back up. Not only that, many shareholders had suddenly begun to withdraw from the company saying they no longer had interest in the company anymore.Oh, daddy is harsh. He made it so public that it would be difficult for the Walford family to stop it from reaching every ear. This is so b
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 23:Gift for the heir
“Anna” I turned around with red eyes only to see Liam walking over to where I stood. Does he know our house? Right, he does. He knows more about my family than I do, I keep forgetting that. “Liam!” Mia screamed excitedly before I could even call his name. She sprang away from where she stood, passing me in the process only to go and hug Liam.My jaws clenched along with my fingers. Did they have something together? Their closeness since last night. I brushed the feeling away, not wanting to add to the anger I was feeling inside me. I doubted Liam would yell at me for what I wanted to do to Mia. I should have just done it, give her that dirty slap on her face, leaving my fingerprints on her cheek, red and rosy. Although I was standing in the midst of a lot of people, I was lost thinking of the pleasure I would have felt seeing the bitch cry. Spoilt to the core, she's the dirty bitch! “Are you okay, Anna?” I blinked when I heard Liam ask. He was speaking to me. With a shocked ex
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 24:A Ring
“My gift?” I asked and he hummed,“Yes, yes, your gift,” walking from behind to come and sit at the other swing beside me, he searched his trousers pocket and brought out a box. My heart skipped multiple beats when I saw the box. A ring? What the hell! Was it because I had treated his legs and he could now walk? Why would he give me a ring as a… Oh no. Did he even know that I am a divorcee? I gulped when I saw him stand from the swing, he was coming to kneel in front of me. No, God, no… I shut my eyes tightly, my fingers clenched to the swing when I heard him say, “Do you like it?” Slowly I opened my eyes only to see a very beautiful silver necklace in front of me. It was so beautiful, my eyes twinkled. “Liam…” I called as I reached for it and caressed it. He let me have it before going back to sit on the swing, “I can help you wear it after you're done staring at it,” he said a little while after and I blinked multiple times. “The necklace is too beautiful, you can't blame me,
Heartache To Hierarchy 25: The call
“Can you both please stop that?” I hissed after a few minutes. They could argue forever if I didn't stop them. There was silence for a while and I breathed out in relief before they began bombarding me with questions. “Oh my dear, Annalise. How are you?” “We watched the news. My darling is a billionaire!” Grandma yelled covering Mother's question. I didn't know what to say to both of them. How can I forget that the whole party was caught on camera last night? So definitely, they must have seen when I was announced the heir. I still haven't gotten used to it yet. Not only was I not used to it, but the family whom I just recently found out I was part of, hated the fact that I was selected as the heir. It was their continuous annoying talks that made me forget what I was wearing when Liam came. And that man couldn't even tell me!“Huh… Anna, are you there?” Oh shit!“Yes mom, grandma. I'm so glad to hear from you both again! How are you doing over there?” “We are fine. Just missin
