Author's note: Thanks again for the reviews! Definitely keeping me even more motivated! Enjoy this next chapter!
Holly sat up in the bed, looking to make sure she was alone. "Who are you?" She asked, trying to hide any hint of worry in her voice.
"All will be revealed in due time. Did anyone ever tell you you are loyal to a fault to the wrong person. Imagine having that loyalty to a man who couldn't even put you first? How sad." The voice said to her.
"That's not true..Robert chose me!" Holly felt the need to stand up for herself. 'I chose to not compromise him. I love him too much." Holly whispered.
The voice took a moment before speaking. "Could have fooled me. Scorpio hasn't batted an eye over you." They wanted to hurt her, to break her trust in Robert.
"It's you and I...it's us!" Robert's voice echoed in her head. The fact he didn't want her to leave, the fact that he wanted to stay in that kiss and she was the strong one. Not for a moment did she believe that.
"I urged him to move on. I want him to be happy." Holly quickly stated feeling the need to move on from this. "Why did you capture me? Why won't you let me go?" She wanted to say something about Ethan but refused to bring her beautiful boy into it.
"It's called leverage. You are the most valuable thing to use against Scorpio. Even if he has found love elsewhere you are like a bad habit he doesn't know how to quit." The voice explained to Holly.
Holly sighed, this was going to hurt Robert. He was once again the reason she had been snatched. Part of her heart hurt hearing Robert found love with someone else but she had this feeling they were bluffing. Nonetheless she went with it. "We ended things. I can't imagine I am any kind of leverage."
The voice laughed. "Don't try to con me Ms. Sutton."
Holly bit her tongue, it got her in trouble too often before and she needed more time. "There is nothing for me in Port Charles that's why I was leaving."
"Ms. Sutton we both know that isn't true. You watch how you are towards me. I have known you for years, before Australia but there is where I really started to take an interest." They needed to get in her head.
Confusion was putting it mildly. Who could this be from Australia? She needed to keep them talking. "What was so interesting about me?" She asked.
"Don't flatter yourself. It's always been about Scorpio. All those WSB missions, those trips back to Port Charles to protect Anna." They hoped to strike a nerve.
Holly was not the least bit jealous of Anna, when her and Robert were together no one could break them. She had tried and besides at that time she was married to Duke. "He was protecting Robin."
"You never questioned that? I mean that is why you cheated on him with Luke and concieved Ethan. Talk about a lack of loyalty then. You couldn't begin to throw stones." The voice laughed.
Holly had never understood the timing, the memories but they were there. She remained quiet, she knew she had to of betrayed Robert and it hurt. She loved Ethan but she could kick herself.
"You want to know something? It was all a lie." The voice proudly said, taking glee in the torture they had caused her over the years.
Robert's hotel room.
The group was following up any leads they had. This was a frustrating case. Felicia's insticts were telling her whoever took Holly didn't take her far. Robert agreed. He felt it in his heart.
His mind flashbacked to when he awoke from his coma in 2013
Robert slowly opened his eyes. What the hell was he doing in the hospital? He felt a warm hand on his and saw a headful of dark hair laying on his chest. "Holly?" He whispered.
Holly's head popped up as she looked into the eyes of that man she loved. "Robert!" Tears fell from her eyes.
Robert slowly lifted his hand, wiping her tears. He stroked her cheek. "I would ask if I'm in heaven but if it's a hospital count me out." He said in a whisper.
Holly couldn't help but laugh. "Oh how I've missed you!" She kissed him, going to pull away after a peck.
Robert was having none of it and wrapped her into his embrace, deepening their kiss. This had always been his favorite way to wake up.
End of flashback
Robert sighed, "Where is she?" He asked himself.
