All Chapters of Heartache To Hierarchy: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Annalise's POV. "Hey Annalise." I bullet my head towards the direction of the voice only to see professor Ken standing with two beautiful plastic cups of coffee. "Um, good morning professor, what brings you here?" I asked, my eyes fixed on him. He was cute but nothing compared to Liam."I guessed I'll see you here since you ain't in school, I've been looking for you." He gave me a cup and I nodded my thank you.He sat beside me and because of the closed proximity, I shifted, letting out a forced giggle.What does he want?"So how's the school treating you?" His eyes were on me and it made me very uncomfortable and conscious."Good, it's been great sir. Can I help you? I'm preparing for the upcoming test and I need my full focus." I smiled and he gave me a nod of understanding."It's alright, I was wondering if you're free this weekend." The fake smile on my face disappeared as I stared at the man, this wasn't the first time he was asking this week, "As I've said before sir, I am n

Annalise's POV “Liam…” I called, a bit shocked at the way he was acting. This was my office and Jared is a patient's parent here, he can't come and start acting like a jealous husband now. Jared held me by the shoulder to stop me from saying any more before he moved closer to Liam, “Hi, I'm Jared” he stretched his hand for a handshake. Liam looked at his hand and didn't bother to take it, he had a deep frown on his face as he looked away from Jared and asked me instead,“Are you ready to go home?” I watched Jared drop his hand, seeing that Liam wasn't planning to take it for a handshake. Damn you, Liam! What kind of jealousy was this? And how do you act this way seeing that the man wants to be friends? I folded my arms across my chest and said,“Liam, this is Jared, his son was rushed to the hospital because he took some poisonous substance” I tried to explain the best way I could. Maybe he would finally face Jared and give the man the respect he deserved. Liam looked from me fi

Liam's POVIf I say I haven't missed Annalise, I would be a big fat liar. I didn't know I'd get to miss a girl like I missed her. This only means that she had entered my system and had mixed with my blood because what kind of a man would drive from his house early in the morning only to come to stare at a girl's house for more than an hour then drive off? I've been doing that for the past three days. I'll go to her house and park my car there, staring at the house for minutes, and turn to an hour before finally going to work. I had tried as much as I could to put all my attention to work. And yes, I had bullied my employees because I had diverted my anger at them. They suffered it more. The project they were supposed to accomplish in a week, ended up doing within days, really annoying how I had transferred aggression to them. When I heard that Annalise was downstairs, I literally jumped up from my chair. My heart raced as I tried to put my office in order, not like anything was out

Annalise’s pov Kelvin and I kept speaking until we were called for lunch and as much as I really wanted to eat with Grandma and Father, the thought of the past came back strong into my memory, there was no way I was eating with this family. “I took something at Liam’s office, I’m not hungry” I gave an excuse that made Liam narrow his eyes at me. Yes, that was a lie, but what else can I do? Once bitten twice shy. The family looked at me but I didn’t care about what they thought or said, I made my way out of the house. The thought of what happened then still floods my mind like it was yesterday. As for whether I had forgiven them for what they did, I’m not sure I can. “You’re good?” I turned to see Kelvin running after me. He was a slim handsome young boy. He has brown hair which matches his eyes and gap teeth that make him look really cute. I can’t believe I have a stepbrother that was completely different from the rest. I really wanted to know which of the women was his mother but

Annalise POV “My exams are coming up, Liam, I don't have time to party. The party is supposed to be at the end of the year. Why now?” I asked as I dropped the book I was reading on the bed before stepping down from the bedToday is finally the day of the party and as much as I wanted to please Grandma Smith by enjoying all of this, I have an exam to prepare for. Not to forget that the emergency calls almost every day at the hospital made me miss a lot of classes. I walked towards the dressing mirror as I listened to Liam explain how women could be when it came to parties, and he laughed at me for being a different kind of woman. “Well, as long as I would have another opportunity to spend time with you, I don't mind. I don't care if they decide to arrange a party every week” he held back a chuckle and I rolled my eyes. Unbelievable, they must have gotten used to always going to gatherings. I hated it and avoided it when I was in school. I don't know how long I would survive it. “T
