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
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 26:A Feast
“Grandma!” I called out in shock. She was dressed in a purple long gown. She looked so beautiful. When I went out earlier, she wasn't there so I was sure she had gone out and just come in “Hello, my grandchild,” she moved closer to me and gave me a hug which I reciprocated quickly. “Hello, hello, Annalise, are you still there?” Grandma J asked and I pulled from Grandma to get the phone. “Yes Grandma, actually, my grandma is here,” I turned to Grandma before saying to her,“My grandma and Mother would like to pay me a visit. Is that okay with you?” “You do not have to ask me that, Anna. You're the heir here, what you say, goes.” Grandma replied.“Alright, Grandma said it's okay. You both can come to see me. I've missed—” I was already about to give them the gist of how I've been dying to see them when Grandma asked with folded arms,“So they are coming just to see you? The rest of us in the family are furniture?” I bit my tongue. She had said it so loudly that I knew that Grandma
Heartache To Hierarchy Chapter 27: Poisoned.
Annalise's POV. As the car pulled up, I stood at the entrance with my father and Grandma, eager to welcome my maternal family, my step-family was forced to come and I wish Grandma shouldn't have.The door opened, and there they were—Mom and Grandma J stepping out, my mom had this empty look on her pretty face while Grandma J looked all happy. I couldn't contain my excitement, my face lit up in pure happiness,"Welcome, Grandma J! Welcome, Mom!" I exclaimed, rushing forward to hug them. Grandma J gave me a tight squeeze, while Mom seemed a bit reserved, I know she's very uncomfortable coming here. "Ah, Annalise! Look at you, the heiress of the Smith family. I'm so proud of how your life took a major twist," Grandma J beamed."Thank you, Grandma J. We're delighted to have you here," I replied with a smile, trying to ignore the deadly glare from my step-siblings and moms. "Hey V." Dad smiled coming towards us with Grandma who was all smiles too, "Don't V me here." Mother muttered, t
