Reckless Hearts 198|Pawn In Their Game
Andrei didn't say anything for a while, happy to drive in silence for a few blocks. Just when Holly was about to give up, convinced he'd keep shutting her out, he pulled over to the side of the road, flicked on his hazard lights, and left the engine idling. He took several hard breaths, his gaze falling on everything but her as he clenched and unclenched his fists. "I don't want to frighten you," he said softly, reaching for her hand. "But at the same time, I don't want to keep you in the dark." "What is it?" Holly whispered, her throat tightening. "What's going on?" "It's Jaco. He's stalking us… you specifically, just to get into my head." "What do you mean he's stalking me? I don't understand. Did he follow me to Pine Crest?" "No, not at all," Andrei was quick to reassure her, explaining that the closest Jaco had gotten to her was the security gate of her former home. "So he was at Sandown Mews?" Holly asked incredulously, a cold shiver running up her spine, bringing with it a

As disappointed as Holly was with Andrei for refusing to help her look into Katherine and her father, she couldn’t exactly blame him. After all, he was already skating on thin ice with her folks as far as their marriage was concerned. But giving up was out of the question. So as soon as they left Sandown Mews, she jumped on her phone and scoured the internet for the best PI in Rock Castle. Tons of names popped up, but Seth Andrews was at the top of the list. Other than a murky tie to Levi and Colleen Van Holt, Holly knew absolutely nothing about the man. But over a thousand people could vouch for him, if the rave reviews of his work were anything to go by. After reading through a few testimonials, Holly needed no further convincing that Seth was the right man for the job. She quickly accessed his website, spending several minutes browsing his information page. At a glance, Seth's expertise was helping families find missing loved ones, which would explain his connection to the Van Ho
Reckless Hearts 196|Don't Go Looking For Trouble
Holly stayed in Andrei's arms for a bit, comforted by his calm, soothing presence. When she was sure she had a better handle on her emotions, she circled back to her request. "So will you help me?" she asked, looking up at him. "Will you look into Katherine's dealings with my father? I have to know. Please, for my own sanity, Drei, I need to figure out if I became prima because I deserve it or if it was handed to me by him." "Holly," Andrei said seriously, pushing her slightly away from him. He rested his hands on her shoulders, scanning her face as he continued, "I think you need to leave this alone before your obsession completely wrecks your life." "It won't," Holly insisted stubbornly. "I'm sorry, I can't look into your old man. It's not right. He's my father-in-law. Besides, things are already bad enough between you two. He isn't even taking your calls—" "These are two separate issues," Holly said, highly annoyed that he wasn't buying into her plan. "Daddy will call back, and
Reckless Hearts 195|Heart-To-Heart
"You need to leave," Holly said, the full weight of her decision snapping her out of her frozen state. She had work to do, takedown plans to make, and dirt to dig up. "We’re done here," she said, walking to the kitchen and returning with her house keys. She handed them to Katherine. "I’ll leave my access card with security." "You’re throwing me out?" Katherine rose to her feet, staring incredulously at the keys in Holly’s hand. "I came here to have an honest, heart-to-heart chat with you—" "An honest heart-to-heart chat?" Holly didn’t mean to laugh, but in the last ten minutes alone she had seen enough ugliness from Katherine to know that honesty and heart-to-heart conversations had no place in her life. "Yes, I wanted to have an open, honest conversation with you—" "Alright," Holly cut in, deciding to humour her former boss for old times’ sake. "Let’s have an open, honest conversation. Did I earn the prima role, or did my father pay you to give me the position?" "Where is this c
Reckless Hearts 194|Come-To-Jesus Moment
Holly leaned against the closet wall, squeezing her eyes shut and wishing the floorboards would just open and swallow her whole. She was going to die of embarrassment right here in the guest room. She briefly considered chasing Andrei down to explain that his new treasure box was a rogue online purchase from a random Tequila Tuesday night when all her inhibitions were down—but knowing Andrei, any excuse would only fuel his amusement. Yet, despite the burning blush on her cheeks, she found herself leaning into the memory of his touch, secretly wishing they were completely alone right now. But a wrench or hammer falling hard in the master bedroom reminded her that there were five other people in the house. She headed back downstairs, only to find Andrei out in the driveway with his phone glued to his ear. He peeled himself away from the call the second Katherine swaggered toward the house, sizing her up. Holly watched from the window as Andrei blocked her path and interrogated her thoro

"The movers?" Holly asked, unable to form a coherent sentence because she was still so shaken up. "I've handled them." "What does that mean?" "It means they didn't see anything." "I see." Holly nodded, her stomach turning at the realisation that this was her life now—doling out threats and bribing people to cover up their actions. She had no doubt in her mind: Andrei had used one of the two—or both—to silence the movers. "Are you okay?" he asked, still crouching in front of her, his massive hands swallowing her trembling ones in a tight grip. "You could have killed him," she whispered, staring at his hands and thinking about how they almost took a man's life. "He asked for it!" Andrei argued. "He begged me to do it—" "He was drunk, Drei!" Holly said sharply, snatching her hands away. "He was drunk and didn't know what he was saying!" "Look, Holly," he murmured, sounding just as upset. "I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm even sorrier you had to see me like that. But I won't apo

Loaded with unspoken accusations, the question hung heavy in the air and drowned out the music…drowned out their song, leaving them no choice but to confront the intrusion. So they stopped mid-dance, and spun around, bracing themselves for a bitter showdown. Andrei half-expected to see Veronika g

It rained cats and dogs on Friday, with the gloomy clouds blanketing the Midlands sky adding to the already mournful atmosphere hanging over the farm. Holly's heart was just as heavy. But since no one else knew today was supposed to be her wedding day, all she could do was grieve for her dashed dr

They landed on an empty field at Aunt Agnes' farm shortly after 9:00 PM.The moment they stepped off the aircraft, Holly wanted to run back inside, partly because her heart was still in Rock Castle, but the horrid weather was also a contributing factor. If she thought winters back home were madnes
