A stunned silence descended over the room following Liam's announcement. Seconds stretched into a minute and then two before he spoke again, "That's why I called you here today. So we can help Holly."

"When—" Willow stammered, but quickly shut her mouth, seemingly at a loss for words.

"Why? How?" Eden asked in a small voice.

Lois brought her up to speed on Holly's condition, as if she wasn't in the room or able to speak for herself. But at that moment, Holly honestly couldn't. The only thing

    "What?" Willow said carelessly. "What's with the look? Don't look at me like that. You know it's the truth, and as your sister, you should know I'm only saying this because I care." But it didn't feel like 'care'. In fact, it didn't even sound like 'care'. "That's enough, Willow!" Holly managed to croak. The shame brimming in her eyes grew heavier the longer she stood there, staring at her feet, unable to meet her sister's gaze. "You always do this," Holly continued, her voice firming up as she raised her head and looked at Willow square in the eyes. "Do what?" Willow asked, a sharp hiss that sounded like a half-laugh and a derisive snort shooting through her slightly parted mouth."Act like you care, when in reality you enjoy putting me down!" Holly said, impressed at how calm she sounded even when every part of her being shook with rage. "That's not true!" Willow was quick to refute the accusation. But her denial only made Holly double down. "Yes, it is! And let's be real, th

  • Reckless Hearts   174|All The Sacrifices

    Holly had been so focused on trying to get Willow to sober up that she'd failed to notice Andrei's meeting with his father was over. Now, because of her sister's big mouth, he very likely knew she was very close to being disowned by her father."Milaya?" Andrei said, his voice heavy with concern. "Why is your father cutting you off?"Horrified, mortified, and everything in between, Holly wished the ground would just open and swallow her whole. But after a minute passed and then two, and God still hadn't sent lightning to strike her down or split the ground open to gobble her up, she finally spun around with a shaky smile and tried to brush off Willow's comments as the ramblings of a drunken woman. "It's nothing. Don't pay her any mind. She's had a little too much to drink. She doesn't know what she's saying.""Yes, I do! Daddy threatened to cut you off when you told Liam you're in love with Drei. I was there, remember? On Aunt Ingrid's back porch? When Liam showed you Andrei's weddin

    Holly stood on the deck, her face turned to the waning sunlight as she took several deep breaths in a half-baked attempt to calm her racing heart. "What the hell was that?" she whispered to herself, when her pulse finally returned to normal and her legs stopped shaking. A part of her was tempted to quickly glance inside, at Andrei and his father, just to make sure she hadn't dreamed up any of the madness. But another part—the one that still shivered with terror at the thought of finding Nikolai gazing back at her with the same loathing he'd shown her earlier—decided against it. "Keep moving," she told herself, fighting hard against the overwhelming urge to run back inside and rescue Andrei from his father's clutches. She straightened her back, fixed her dress, and slapped on the biggest, fakest smile on her face before turning to the crowd. As she took one steady step after another, and despite her stomach dropping the more distance she put between her and the house, Holly had t

    On the other side of the door, in the living area, Andrei was battling his own struggles. The only difference, though, was that his were totally self-made. Levi had pounced on him as soon as Holly and Colleen locked themselves in the bedroom, demanding to know what he was playing at. But no matter

    Andrei returned to the study, and while he waited for Liam, he checked both his mailboxes, Aero's and the family's. Nothing was burning on Aero's side, but too many pots were with the family. Juan had heard through the grapevine that they had decided not to do business with him. In a lengthy email,

    A large part of Andrei's morning was spent cycling between reports, presentations and emails. Then, promptly at 11:15 AM, fifteen minutes before he was supposed to leave for his meeting with the family, Monique knocked on his door, grinning like a Cheshire cat as she waved her tablet at him.

    Trigger warning: self-harmWhen the elevator doors dinged open on the ground floor, Holly headed straight to the restrooms, relieved to find them empty. She dashed for the last cubicle, slammed the door shut, and pulled a fresh razor blade from the pack in her bag. She sat there awhile, listening t
