Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 43: My Dream.
Annalise's POV."C'mon Mom, you don't have to act haughty now, the house felt empty without you or grandma, just accept my invitation, please Mom," I pleaded, trying hard not to sound like some desperate chick, but I was so freaking desperate at that moment.Convincing Mom to do something had always been a Herculean task. Convincing Grandma J. would have been super easy. I knew once Mom accepted to do something, Grandma J. would definitely affirm it. That's just how my little family worked."I am not being haughty. Mom and I were very comfortable in our little cottage, away from the bustling and rustling of the city. Once we were discharged, we were going back," Mom said stubbornly, and I blinked back some feigned tears."Speak for yourself, sweetie," I heard Grandma J. say, and my eyes lit up in excitement because of what she just said."Mom, you should stop accepting invitations from her and stop granting everything she always wants; you're just spoiling her," Mom complained, and I
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 44: Called For a Meeting.
Annalise's POV.A smile played in my head as I scrolled through the internet. There's this different kind of good feeling I got seeing my name, my pictures, and the miracle I had performed.Just as Liam said, my father had told the world that I was different from any of the gifted Smiths, and it kind of made me blush. I truly didn't know how the gift worked, but it worked like magic. Knowing what to do and how to do it was something mesmerizing and equally beautiful."Anna darling, why don't you tell your mother here that you don't wish to remain single like her for the rest of your life," Grandma J's voice penetrated my ears, and I let out a nervous chuckle before turning to look at her."Grandma, can we stop talking about love, marriage, and anything that has to do with any man? I am not interested in such boring topics," I said with a blank expression, but my grandma waved me away."You would have to talk about it. You need a man in your life, and I know you'll get it, a good man w
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 45: If She Doesn't Apologize...
Annalise's POVAs Liam opened the car door for me to step down, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety. Liam had refused to tell me what the meeting would be about, and I hated it more than anything when I am getting into something I had no idea about. No matter how hard I tried to persuade him to talk to me, he would just give me a charming smile and ask me to calm down.Liam extended his hand, and I grabbed it, trying hard not to squeeze his hand because of the pressure I was feeling."Don't worry, you'll be fine, baby," he assured me, and I managed to force a smile as he led me towards the meeting place.Upon arrival, I frowned as we exchanged greetings with everyone present. My father, grandma, and step-family were there, along with Liam's mother and uncle."My, you're looking beautiful. I'm so sorry about what happened to your family, darling," Liam's mother said with a smile, and I just nodded before we all took our seats.Liam cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attenti
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 46: Authority and Victory.
Annalise's POV.I stand there, my fists clenched at my sides, my eyes fixed on Mia with an intensity that could pierce through steel. The room is silent, every eye on the two of us, waiting to see what will happen next."You can't leave the meeting, my love," Grandma says with a concerned-filled voice, and I sigh."Fine, I won't leave, but Mia has to apologize," I declare again, staring at her with deadly intent.Mia's eyes narrow, her jaw clenched stubbornly. "I won't apologize," she retorts defiantly, her voice dripping with arrogance.I feel a surge of anger rising within me, but I keep my composure, refusing to let her get the best of me. Instead, I lock eyes with her and speak with a calm yet commanding tone."Very well, Mia," I say, my voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "If you refuse to apologize, then I'm afraid your presence here is no longer needed."Mia's expression falters for a moment, a flicker of apprehension gracing her eyes before she shakes it away, repl
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 47: To Shut Them Up.
Annalise's POVI went home after the meeting, although Liam insisted on dropping me at home, I quickly refused. I knew whatever happened at the meeting today had only intensified Mia's hatered for me. I wasn't scared of them if they came to me head-on, but involving the people I loved was a wrong move.Until now, I still felt the guilt swell up in my chest. I didn't know what I would have done if something had happened to my family. I had considered them the only family I had until I met the Smiths.As for Liam, I really wished he would have told me before he made such a move by organizing a family meeting. But what authority… There wasn't much difference between his actions with Grandma. It was exactly this morning that Liam and Mia met. He was quick to organize a meeting with busy people, yet everyone showed up, including father, who happened to be really busy.Getting into the house, I paused and looked around the mansion. It was well-built and just so classy, but I wasn't used to
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 48: Admitted to Houston Medical School
“Hello, Grandma,” “My grandchild continues to make me proud. Did you see what you did at the meeting? I was beginning to wonder if you were the one that called for the meeting or if it was you and Liam” I giggled as I blushed, I had never wanted to say a word in the meeting. All I planned to do was remain quiet till the meeting was over. It wasn't like I was interested in getting married anyway… and to Mia's boyfriend? I'll never have an eye on that girl's man. He was never hers from the beginning. “Grandma, did I do well?” I asked again, searching for more praise. “My grandchild was no different from her grandmother. You are really from my loins”I burst out laughing, Mia had left with a red face earlier today. If she thought I would sit down and listen to her insult my mother without doing a thing, she was so wrong. In fact, she was so lucky I didn't know what plans Liam had from the beginning. I would have gotten myself prepared for them all.“Grandma, I called to get your ad
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 49: Tight Spot
Liam's POVIt was just a friendly dinner, I had said to Annalise, but deep down, I knew it wasn't just one. I was enthusiastic about it; I couldn't concentrate in the office work and I didn't even bother to try. Everyone could notice my bright mood today, and I didn't bother to explain it to anyone, not even my best friend, Nathaniel, who had come to the office earlier on.I knew I shouldn't have call her at that time, but I couldn't help myself. Hearing her voice also made me wait in anticipation for this dinner.With a hushed voice, she had explained it was still 10 am, and I could guess that she was speaking that way because she was with her family. I wish I was there to tease her with both grandma's backing me up.After the call, I had called to ask about the reservation I made at the restaurant. I didn't want Annalise to back out, so I decided not to reserve the entire place for just the both of us. I know her too well to know that she won't be pleased. Unlike other girls, she's
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,
