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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 34: Experiment
Looking around, I kept whispering as I touched every bottle, every container around the room, “Where are you?” I asked in a low voice. I could tell that Liam heard me because he raised his brows at me and I shrugged. He may not understand but I could tell that I am somehow about to communicate with the ingredients for that particular period of time. I was looking around when my eyes caught sight of a leaf by the window. It was a tree that had grown so long and large that it was getting to the window of the room. The leaf became so beautiful in my eyes, inwardly I had already felt it and it was soft that one could mistake it for cotton. Just then, I knew that was the missing ingredient. I walked over and plucked it. I wasn't sure I used this the last time but I am now. When I was done plucking it, I dropped it in the mixture and smiled at Liam, “And that's all,” “Are you sure?” Liam asked with an unsure expression on his face. I knew it was because of the leaf that I had plucked
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 35:It's working
The once noisy passage turned calm, and people around went still as they watched the drama. The Smith family was the center of attention but I was going to go ahead with my plans anyway. Father's pleading eyes were on me, helplessly begging me not to do this, but he has a daughter who is as stubborn as he is. I was here to prove my innocence, I had not killed anyone. Grandmother, I could clearly see, was trying to be strong. As for Liam, he was staring at me like something indeed happened. He would rain down healing if possible. Holding the syringe in my hand, I stretched out my left hand and injected myself with it. Every eye wide, every eye was on me, waiting and searching for a sign. It took a while before I began to feel the heat from within. I staggered and Liam, who was standing on guard, caught me almost immediately. He took me to one of the benches by the side of the hospital passage. “Doctor!” I heard a loud scream from Father. I was dizzy so I could no longer see him cle
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 36:Treason
“Anna, it's working!” Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched how their body began to receive their color, their eyelids shaking, the machine picked it up and they were recovering and no longer in a coma. Everything was happening so fast that I was even shocked. Yes, it took more than fifteen minutes when mine took less than five but they were in a coma. If we were going to really examine it with time, theirs was supposed to take more than an hour seeing that they were in a coma. Father began to instruct the doctors on what to do, but they all got busy. I stood there watching Grandma J and Mother showing more signs of them recovering. The doctors took the life support off both of them, First from Mother then after a while, from Grandma. Blood samples were taken from both of them, and three doctors left. Father and I stood there waiting for them to open their eyes and even if it would take until tomorrow, we were determined to wait. “Mother?” I called when I saw her eyes slightly t
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 37: Family Of Vipers
The scene I saw when I entered the room caused my frowning face to relax and my angry heart to melt. Liam and Grandma were speaking to Grandma J while father was attending to Mother. Now, this is the family that I have come to know and love. “Anna,” Grandma called weakly but had a smile on her lips. I made my way to her bed, my eyes teary again. I need to stop crying like a baby. Liam made way for me to get closer to Grandma,“How are you doing, Grandma?” I asked, my voice hoarse. I was tired, I was weak. “My dear, Anna,” she called again as she reached for my hand and I held her tightly. I could have lost them, they could have died from my carelessness. Mother had warned me but I didn't listen, I wanted to prove a point and that would have cost my family's life.That family was a family of vipers yet I didn't listen. I could now see the reason why Mother didn't want me to live with them and also why she didn't want Father to know of my existence. That was putting my life at risk
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 38: Family.
I closed my eyes as my thoughts wandered to the threat I had threatened them with a few moments ago before I stepped into the room. “You don't have to worry, Vivian, I promise to take care of Anna,” Grandma said but Mother shook her head.“No offense ma'am but you were there when we were poisoned. You cannot inspect everything. I would not allow Annalise to go back to that house”I looked at Grandma J, she was quiet all the while, and I could tell that she was silently in support of what Mother was saying. Even I wasn't comfortable living in that house with those people “Anna, do you want to leave?” Grandma asked me and I looked from mother to her. I didn't even know how to respond because I didn't want to hurt Grandma “Whether she likes it or not, Annalise is not going back to that house. You're a mother, you should know how it is, Grandma. She is my only child, I would not let anything happen to her. I'll take the poison over and over again for her”“Annalise would go back to liv
