Reckless Hearts 132|A Little Boy In Many Ways
As Andrei watched his twin work the crowd like a politician on a campaign trail, it finally hit him—the reason for the reporter's presence. This wasn't a mere stunt for attention, but a powerful platform for Aleksei to set his plans in motion. By choosing such a public stage, Aleksei was not only warming the public to the idea of his re-entry into society as a reformed ex-con, but also asserting himself with Andrei and Nikolai and sending them a strong message: he refused to be treated like a shameful secret that had to be hidden away, and he was done staying in the shadows. As Aleksei and Nikolai shared their first hug in over two years, and the touching moment played out in real-time in thousands of living rooms across Rock Castle, Andrei couldn't help but smile bitterly at the disingenuity of it all. To the untrained eye, they looked like any ordinary father and son, happy to be reunited. But having known both men his entire life, Andrei could see the resentment in his twin'
Reckless Hearts 131|The Prodigal Son's Return
Figuring Holly had fallen asleep on him, Andrei ended the call and softly padded to his home office. He hooked his phone to the charger and accessed the safe behind one of Eden's paintings framing the room. He had a ton of her artworks in his home in Linksfield, and he had a feeling he'd be adding to his collection soon if Holly was also a fan. Pulling out a stack of accounting journals, Andrei took them back to his desk, and within minutes, he was thoroughly engrossed in the family's books. The extent of his cousin's theft became more apparent with each passing second as he sifted through countless transactions, comparing inventory records against their profits. Two hours in, Andrei felt utterly overwhelmed as he moved on to his sixth, maybe seventh, journal. He'd lost count. And the longer he stared at the pages, trying to make sense of the numbers, the more he resented their archaic record keeping. As much as his father had embraced technology, one thing he refused to do was
Reckless Hearts 130|Nine Months
They drove for a kilometre or so in silence, but then a thought crossed Igor's mind, and he turned around and glanced at Abigail. "I reckon you don't have a photo of this Rocky dude, do you?" Abigail heaved a long, dramatic sigh and replied, "I told you I only met him twice. Why would I have a photo of him?" "If you saw him again, could you point him out in a crowd?" Igor pressed as they stopped at Fugue in the Arts District. "Maybe." Abigail shrugged nonchalantly, and Andrei quickly stepped in before Igor could lose his patience with her. He turned on the car's interior lights and scrolled through his phone, bringing up a picture taken at one of The Corporation's black-tie events two years ago. In the photograph, Andrei, his lieutenants and their deputies cut dapper figures in their penguin suits and Cuban cigars, their camaraderie evident in how they huddled together with their arms around each other's shoulders, beaming at the photographer. Back then, Andrei's relationship w

"Whoa! Hold up!" Igor shrieked as he sprung away from his crate and began pacing. Not that there was much room to pace anyway since the space was so cramped. "You mean to tell me this shit's been going on for at least five months?" "Longer, actually!" Those two words were Andrei's undoing, his mind scattering in a million different directions, trying to compute the breadth and scale of this rogue outfit. "How long?" he asked, barely able to get the words out over the sickening pounding of his heart. "How long have you worked for Rocky?" "Since late last year," said Abigail. The shifty look in her eyes was back full force as she glanced at everything in the room but Andrei. "I think October. It could have been November. I can check my messages with Rocky if it's important." Nine months, Andrei thought frantically as he mentally worked out Abigail's timeline. Mikhail had been running his operation for at least nine months. Not a few weeks like he'd suspected. But a whole fuck
Reckless Hearts 128|Tell Me No Lies
A horrified Igor rolled up the door and ducked inside, asking to speak privately with Andrei.Annoyed at the interruption, Andrei slipped off the rubber gloves and leaned over Jonah's shoulder, whispering, "I'll be back. But while I'm gone, think long and hard about how you want this to play out. Tell me no lies, and you get to keep your kneecaps and maybe all your teeth, too—""Boss?" Igor pressed, his tone laced with worry. Andrei pulled away from Jonah, sighing in frustration as he followed his lieutenant out."What did you do to her?" Igor asked as soon as the door rolled back in place."Nothing yet!" "Then why the hell was she screaming like a fucking banshee? I thought the whole point of bringing here was to scare her into talking!""And that's exactly what I was doing before you came riding in on your white horse!""It looked like you were about to break her kneecaps to me!" Igor insisted, his jaw clenched so tight Andrei could see the veins in his temples. "She's just a litt
Reckless Hearts 127|Pick Your Poison
By the time Andrei returned to Crush, he was ten minutes late. He entered the club via the rear exit they'd used earlier, and headed to the back office, expecting to find Austin. Instead, he found Rex, the manager, and one of the dancers, going at it like rabbits, their impassioned moans drowned out by the deafening music pounding the walls."Oh, for fuck's sake, Rex!" Andrei cussed as he quickly backed out of the room and shut the door, wishing he could unsee the X-rated images scorched in his brain.Annoyed as fuck at the Only Fans content he'd just walked into, Andrei called Austin, checking his whereabouts. Austin answered after several rings, sounding breathless and frazzled, "You didn't get my text?""What text?" Andrei asked."Phoenix is running a fever, and Marybeth needs me home. I'll have to take a rain check. Does tomorrow work for you?" Of course, tomorrow didn't work for Andrei. The sooner he dealt with Jaco's possible reappearance, the better. But what other choice did
Reckless Hearts 126|Jonah
Since they were an hour early and Austin was still stuck at Stardust Inc., Andrei and Igor headed to the bar to pass the time.They scoped out the place and sipped their whiskies, scanning the crowd for any drug dealing on the dance floor. And there was plenty. But since they had no idea who Jonah was or what he looked like, finding him was like looking for a needle in the haystack."At least Mikhail was smart enough to recruit externally," said Igor, his face lighting up at the sight of a tall blonde in a skin-tight white dress shimmying it up with her friends on the dance floor."You are on the clock," Andrei said, snapping his fingers in front of Igor's face to get him to focus on the task at hand. "But she could be my future wife." "What happened to Stella?" Stella was the woman Igor had been banging for the last several weeks. After the three-month mark, Andrei had started to believe that she could be THE ONE. Clearly not, if Igor was on the prowl for his future wife. "So?" h
Reckless Hearts 125|Anything But Fragile
Visiting hours were long over, but Andrei stopped by Holly's ward anyway, hoping to catch a glimpse of her on his way out. But as expected, Eric and his colleagues were guarding her door. With the biggest, smuggest grin on his face, Eric made it very clear to Andrei that no amount of phone calls to Holly would grant him access to her room. He was back under Liam's command and had been given strict instructions to keep him away from Holly. "Really?" Andrei crossed his arms on his chest, amused when Eric briefly parted his jacket and showed off his gun, his threat, loud and clear. How he was able to bring in his pistol when Andrei had to leave his in the car—since hospitals, like other public spaces, were gun-free zones—was a huge mystery. "Leave, pal!" said Eric, clearly feeling emboldened in the presence of the other three men. Deciding a fight with Holly's security was a headache he didn't need, Andrei moved along, relishing the thought of firing Eric come Friday. He never real

"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 all along—" "Are you out of your mind?" Liam imploded all over Andrei, his anger rumbling through the rooftop, drawing Matthew, Julian and Levi away from their spot by the door. They cautiously approached the brewing storm, with Levi doing a temperature check, "Is everything okay?" Liam ignored his question, redirecting all his anger to him. "Did you know about this? Did you know that Drei has a thing for Holly?" Levi's silence was the only response Liam got. But it said far more than any words could ever convey. "You knew," Liam whispered, his face awash with disappointment as he glared at Levi. "You knew, and you didn't think to tell me?" "Don't you dare try to pin this on me! They are
