Reckless Hearts 175|Like The Brightest Stars
"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
Reckless Hearts 173|Like It Never Happened
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

"What do you mean Veronika is a diplomat?" Andrei asked once the shock had worn off. "She's a fucking Bratva princess. How the hell did she get a diplomat passport?" "You, more than anyone, should be able to answer that. You're marrying her in three weeks, aren't you?" retorted Norman, his tone ju

Holly didn't notice her phone had fallen out of her hands. She couldn't even hear Andrei speak, or the worry seeping into his voice the longer she remained silent. All she could focus on was her mom. Her poor mom. "She's gone." Holly didn't realise she'd spoken her thoughts out loud and utte

While Andrei was wheeling and dealing at a prison fifty kilometres away from Rock Castle, Holly was still stuck at the hospital and very close to climbing the walls. She'd only spent a night here, but she was already so damn tired of the place. She was sick of the coddling from the nurses. Sick o

"Look," Andrei said after what seemed like an eternity of silence but could only have been a few moments. "This whole thing with Holly took me by surprise. At first, all I wanted was her help. But the more time I spent with her, the more I realised she's the one, and she was right in front of me al
