View More“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
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
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
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
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
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
Annalise's POV“Mother! Grandma J!” I grinned widely as I walked further into the room. Grandma J and Mother were having a discussion when I stepped in. “How are you both doing?” I asked“We're basking in good health, thanks to our miracle doctor” Grandma J replied with a giggle. She must have heard the news as well, miracle doctor indeed. “How are you?” Mother asked me with concerned looks, “I am fine, Mother. I feel refreshed and also happy that you both are fine and well,” “Sure. We were treated by the best doctors in the world. You and your father,” Grandma J replied.“Only my daughter treated us, her father had nothing to do with it,” Mother quickly took away the credit from father as if she was conscious when it happened. At least, Father had given them the injection with the antidote. Also, he was there all through, else who knew if something worse would have happened? Whoever did this to Mother and Grandma J will truly rot in jail forever. “Father helped too, Mother,” I
Liam's POVWalking beside Annalise, she explains how it would be if we didn't get the real culprit, saying there's a probability that something else might happen again even though she had moved from the mansion. I was about to reply to her when we heard a call, “Liam! Liam!” I turned to Mia walking towards us, her eyes filled with rage like she could kill anyone who stood in her way. I didn't want to stop for her but Annalise did so I had to as well. “Mia” “I wasn't talking to you, so go away,” Mia spat immediately after Anna called. “I was only wondering why you're on this wing of the hospital. Hope it's not to visit my family. Go home if that's the reason why because we don't want to see you” “For your information,” Mia began, placing her hands on her hips, “I am from the Smith family so I can come to any part of the hospital I want!” Annalise chuckled as she shook her head, “That's so funny, Mia. I mean, you're telling the heir and sole owner of the hospital that you can co
Annalise's POVAfter a much-needed rest, I was ready to head to the hospital to see my family. The new house was huge, and though it felt empty, I hoped to convince Mom and Grandma J. to come stay with me. It wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to try my best.When one of the servants announced Liam's arrival, I hurried out to meet him. I was eager to see him."You're looking quite fetching, Annalise," Liam remarked with a warm smile as I stepped out of the house.A blush crept up my cheeks at the unexpected compliment. "Thanks, Liam. How are they?" I inquired, even though I had already called my father and confirmed that they were doing well."They're holding up surprisingly well, considering everything, you're really a genius, my Lady," Liam responded, his voice tinged with admiration. "Everyone is talking about you, the news channels are bustling with the miracle doctor.""Miracle doctor?" I asked with a chuckle as I followed Liam out to the waiting car."Yeah, that's what you'r
