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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 02: Tragedy Strikes.
Annalise's POVAfter cleaning the place, I rushed to the hospital where Derek was taken to. Mother had left me at home after calling Benson, my husband. In the car, I couldn't help but panic. I took Derek to school this morning, and he was fine. How could he have just collapsed?When we reached the hospital, I rushed in before asking the lady behind the desk for directions. 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, "
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 03: Divorced.
Annalise's POV"Annalise! Annalise!" The banging of the door woke me up. It was Benson and I don't see why he needed to bang the door so hard when the door was unlocked.That man slapped me unconscious! They immediately brought me back to consciousness in the same hospital where my son died. I pushed myself from the floor I had slept on last night. They had literally dragged me out of the hospital yesterday because I didn't want to leave my son. I can't still believe that my Derek is gone.I cried till I slept off, right here on the floor. My body arches badly, and I felt numb on my feet but I tried to go and get the door since Benson kept knocking"Benson," I opened, my voice hoarse from extensive crying. His mother was standing behind him, along with the lady whom I had planned to disfigure her face one day because of her vile attitude. I still don't understand what she is always doing here in this house. "Here," Benson passed me a paper, more of a document when I looked at it.I
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 04: Unexpected Guest.
Annalise's POVIt's been two weeks since I was driven out of my husband's house. Benson without mercy had thrown my things out like he planned it years ago even before Derek died. They didn't let me mourn my son, and neither did they allow me to attend his burial nor to say my final farewell. I was forced to go back to my mom and grandma. They had cried with me and also made sure I didn't drown myself in sorrow. The pain I felt in my heart was so strong that I felt sick; for days I was bedridden. Feeling a lot better today, I decided to visit my son. It was something I wanted to do days ago but I was prohibited from leaving the house till I got well. Making sure no one I knew was around, I made my way to the graveside. On the stone was written Derek Benson Walford, my heart tightened as till now, I still couldn't understand how he died. A once jovial child went to school and never returned. "Derek, what happened?" I choked as I tried to ask. I knew he wouldn't respond but I just w
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 05: A Revelation.
Annalise's POV"Why can't you both just believe me that I treated a man who was sick?" I asked with a frown."Let's agree you treated a man who was sick all by yourself. Why didn't we see anyone when we came in?" Mother asked as she tried not to chuckle. I pouted, I did treat someone. I somehow slept off staring at the handsome man who was lying next to me. I don't know if I slept off but the next time I woke up, it was Grandma's call. When I asked about the man, they kept asking who I was talking about. When I woke up, I couldn't find the handsome man beside me any longer. He was gone, and his wheelchair was gone too. "He left before I woke up," I responded. "But you also said he was crippled, right? How is it that he saw himself out without any help from you? I didn't help him nor did you?" Grandma asked Mother who shook her head also, she was laughing. They don't believe me. I've been trying to convince them since last night but they don't believe me. I had even shown them th
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 6: An Old Flame.
Annalise's POV“I refuse,” we all heard the cold voice from behind me and I veered around to see Mother’s sharp eyes staring at the man said to be my father.Mother hardly gets angry, she is a carefree woman and hardly has issues with anyone, if she is refusing the man, then it is mainly for a good reason. But this man before us happens to be powerful and wealthy. Could she be able to fight if the men decide to really reply to her?I turned to look at the man whose eyes were no longer holding warmth. The temperature had suddenly dropped in the room making me gulp. Without being told that the man was wealthy, one would be able to guess because of how he carried himself. He waved his hand at the man who stood a few steps behind him and the man left, rooting out his phone from his pocket.The room was quiet until I heard the door closed. The man asked,“What right do you have to refuse?” his words were empty, without emotions like one more wrong word from mother could cost her a lot. I d
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 7: Uncertain.
Annalise's POV. Immediately the door clicked shut, mother dropped on my tiny bed and facepalmed herself, a loud sigh escaping her mouth. I creased my brow as I observed her for the fewest seconds before I gently moved sluggishly towards her and took my seat. "Mother, you need to calm down." I mused, my hand on her shoulder.I was in a total state of stupefaction and disarray, I was supposed to be the angry one here. I have the right to question and get incensed at her because she knew who my father was and didn't bother to tell me, however, I know that getting angry would only worsen the whole situation. I needed to keep calm and reason with my mother, she was looking disturbed. Extremely disturbed and that's very unlike my mother. Mother is the calmest soul I've ever met, what could trouble her so much? I heard her sniff and I felt some sort of apprehension in me, "Mother, deep breath, just calm down, worrying so much won't solve this problem, I don't even know what is going on,
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 08: A New World.
Annalise's POVHere I am, seated in a luxurious car heading to a place I do not know. Looking out the window, I could tell that my life had made a great turn because it would never be the same again. Not when my father is a world-known doctor who is a multi-billionaire. When I agreed to follow him, I did that because I wanted to get to know him. See why mother isn't so happy with the arrangements. They had treated me like a princess the minute I stepped out of the house with my bag. One of the men of black had immediately come to take my bag from me. Another one helped me with the door These treatments were foreign to me especially after getting married to Benson. Others would think as Mrs Benson I was enjoying the luxury of a rich husband but they were so wrong because I was worse than a church rat. They treated me like dirt, and my mother-in-law didn't want to see me at all. She insulted me in the presence of my so-called husband and he did nothing about it. Although I hated the
