The four of them went down the stairs in silence, but the tension between them could be cut with a knife. The angriest person was Holly, and it was not just because she hated Leila and wanted her to drop dead and roll down the stairs.
She also hated her siblings more than she thought possible.
The little idiot, Mason, seemed to have grown guts in a day. In the morning, he was still a little mouse that was scared of her as they went to school. Now, he was behaving like he was something other than a burden to the family.
She hated hearing him calling the intruder Sister Leila with so much fondness. Mason had never shown her any respect over the years or even called her 'sister'. Yet, he was cosying up to the enemy.
However, her anger towards Mason could not be compared to her hatred for Amelia.
