Annalise's POV.

As I stood frozen in front of my family, the knock came again and I swallowed hard, trying to move but I couldn't.

"Where are the servants?" Father asked, looking around.

"Oh, don't... Don't stress it daddy, I'll go get the door." I mumbled but didn't move.

Panic surged through me. What was he doing here? I glanced around, searching for an escape route, but there was none. My family's expectant faces turned towards me, waiting for an explanation.

"Um, it's just... I'll go get the door!" I stammered, feeling the sweat gathering on my forehead.

"But who could it be by this time? Are you expecting someone, Anna?" Grandma J asked and my mind raced to come up with a plausible excuse as I stared at my curious family. "It must be um... Liam, must've... uh... Must have come to say hi to you guys."

My mother's eyes widened before they went cold again, and Grandma J shot me a knowing look that said, "Spill the beans, young lady." But what fucking beans am I to spill, it's n

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   107 Taunting

    Liiam's POV I fell lazily on the couch in Anna's office, I don't even understand why I'm being worked up about all of these. I wasn't exactly pleased when she decided to give Benson a listening ear, she was suppose to snub him, tell him that they have nothing to talk about and walk away from him with me by her side. But she gestured for me to excuse her, I didn't like that. I tried so hard not to show how disappointed I was. My blood boiled in rage and even though I knew that Anna wouldn't do anything to hurt with, I just don't trust Benson. And recalling how I had taken one of the flowers and letters from the delivery guy without giving it to Anna, I wondered if Benson would tell and if she would be disappointed at my childishness. I just didn't want to be caught. Pacing around her office didn't help but it kept me busy until she came in and thank goodness Anna didn't even care. Now, all I have to do is wait until she's done and then we can leave for the party. The vibration fr

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   106 The Walford Family

    Annalise's Pov My breath hitched hearing those words from father. His fingers were pressed on the desk before him, his eyes desperately begging me to say yes. My eyes were locked on his as I bit my lips. This is the first time they would come to me for help, and no matter how much I hated them now, I do not want to see Mrs Walford die, definitely not when I can help. “Fine,” I replied, releasing my breath. I turned to Liam who was standing behind me and reached for his hand, “I'll try to make it as fast as possible,” and he nodded.“I'll ask them to prepare the theatre room,” Father murmured before walking out of the room. I sighed, I just want my time with Liam. “It's okay. I'm here. Like I said, I don't mind not attending the party,” he smiled and my lips tugged up. “That's not happening,” I hit his chest before giving him a light squeeze in his hand, “Let's get this started. The earlier we begin, the earlier we are done,”We walked out of Father's office only to meet Benson

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   105:Why is he here?

    Annalise's Pov“This better work, Liam,” I groaned, seeing father's call again. The phone remained on my thighs. I refused to answer it because we were already at the entrance of the hospital, yet I had a bad feeling that Father might not allow me to leave. Liam had a small smile on his face, I knew he was trying to be as understanding as possible, but he had been glancing at his wristwatch all the way here. We were obviously late. “I am sure Father wouldn't want to ruin your day,” Liam replied, still in hope. And I just pray God answers him. We walked side by side into the hospital building. The moment some of the nurses and doctors saw me, they rushed towards me, not noticing that I was with someone. “Doctor Annalise, Doctor Annalise,”“We need your help, we need you” A frown formed on my face, my hand that held Liam's let go of his as my pace naturally increased. Knowing that this wasn't only Father trying to make sure I come to the hospital but something rather serious, I was

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   Chapter 104: Mother and Daughter in law

    Author's POV In the quiet room, Lara was lying comfortably on the bed as she filed her nails and responded to the person on the other side of the phone. It was her mother,“Mother, why would I lie to you? Your best friend has suddenly changed her preference in women. She no longer cares if I'm the daughter of her best friend anymore. She wants me out” Lara snarled. Although, this has been going on for a while— how Mrs Walford started supporting Annalise since she found out that the lady was now a Smith but Lara didn't say a word about it, thinking Mrs Walford was trying to just get her hands on the wealth. What she didn't know was how Mrs Walford kept pushing her husband to go back to the slut. “I can't believe this. She dare not!” “As you must have heard, the ex daughter-in-law has suddenly become rich and famous, a person of influence and is making it in the business world. Mrs Walford no longer sees the slut in her,” Lara informed. Although she was upset about everything, she

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   Chapter 103: Interruptions.

    Annalise's POV “I’ve missed you so much too Anna” Liam whispered, my back arched further into him. We were both having the time of our lives when the vibration from my phone caused me to pause. “Liam…” but he didn't plan to stop, I didn't want him to either so I ignored the call. Soon, the call ended and I sighed, ready to give my all to Liam when it started ringing again. Liam's hand on my ass couldn't let me concentrate until we heard a loud bang on the door, “Annalise, it's your Father!” I heard mother's voice and pushed Liam off the bed in fright. Liam landed on the ground with a thud, “Serves me right,” he groaned. “Sorry,” I whispered before rushing towards the door to open it, “What's it, Mother?” I saw Grandma J. standing next to Mother, she had a deep frown on her face. I wondered what was wrong— I was going to ask when Mother shoved the phone into my hand. That was when I noticed that Father was on the phone. “Hello Father,”“Annalise George Smith, where did you drop

  • Heartache To Hierarchy   102

    Early Seduction Liam's POV The room was quiet, there were noises right outside the room but I remained seated on the bed, not saying a word but working on my phone. The sound of rushing water from the bathroom kept making me look towards the bathroom, not wanting to do so anymore. I moved to sit facing the wall instead of the bathroom door, yet I kept hearing the sound of water– completely disturbing me from my work. My thoughts filled with the person using the rushing water, I gulped time and time again. I was trying to focus on my phone, distract myself from my own thoughts but it wasn't working. Annalise had asked that I go over to the office and she would meet me up at the office but I refused. I wanted to take her to the party myself so I waited. She pulled me into the house and into her room without asking me if I wanted to be there. I suspected she must have done that because of her Grandma J but I wish she didn't. Now, I can't get my thoughts from thinking the right
