How do I keep images always on top without using Z-Index?

I have a fairly simple website attached below. When hovering over an underlined word, there is an image that appears right at the position of the word.

The images are supposed to be always on top, no matter what. But the underlined words keep appearing on top of the images. (See code snippet). I know there must be something conflicting in the order of my elements! Please help, I am a bloody beginner.

I have tried to set a Z-Index, but that doesn't work at all.

I hope you understand my problem here!
