Reckless Hearts 204|Play Into His Panic
Just then, Jonah's phone rang in her hand, startling her.Eyes wide with panic, she flipped it around, showing Andrei the caller ID as 'Rocky' flashed boldly on the screen for a few seconds before blinking away. She had barely relaxed in her seat when David rang again."Don't answer it," said Andrei, taking the phone from her."What if he's calling to cancel?""That's exactly why you shouldn't answer it," said Igor, taking the chair Andrei had occupied all along."What if he doesn't show up at the sports grounds?" Jonah asked, her eyes darting between Igor and Andrei, looking for assurance. She was clearly spiralling, dreaming up all kinds of worst-case scenarios."He will," Andrei said firmly. "Your silence will force him to show up. If you answer now, he'll come up with a ton of reasons why he can't meet you, and then he'll force you to tell him everything you know about the Mexicans. I can't allow that, Abigail. This meeting has to happen today."Andrei's words rang with a finality
Reckless Hearts 205|Not Part Of The Plan
Half an hour later, they were at the university sports grounds. Because it was Sunday, the sprawling campus facility had a completely different energy—dead quiet in some areas, yet fitfully busy near the main pavilion. A few student athletes were doing laps on the far side of the track, and the faint, rhythmic thud of a soccer ball being kicked echoed in the distance.Igor slowly navigated the paved ring road, choosing a parking bay at the furthest edge of the parking lot, shaded beneath the massive, bare Jacarandas. It gave them a clear, unobstructed line of sight to the main entrance while keeping their own vehicle obscured by the deep afternoon shadows."Nothing yet?" Igor asked, leaning forward slightly to get a better angle through the windshield."No," Andrei murmured, not breaking his stare from the main gates. "He's running late. I don't like it.""Relax, Boss. He'll be here soon," Igor said, though his own jaw had noticeably tightened. "Give him a minute."They stayed in the

Reckless Hearts 203|Sharp And Focused
For several minutes, Jonah had the men's attention as she detailed Mikhail and David's operation, from her daily pickups to her routes. She repeated pretty much everything she'd told Andrei and Igor when they first met, about David leaving the drugs at a P.O. Box address for her to pick up.Andrei tried quite a few times to shake her narrative, asking the same questions in different ways. But no matter how long he kept at it, Jonah's story remained the same. She never contacted David. All their communication was done through the P.O. Box. He dropped off the drugs. She picked them up and delivered them to her clients. Sometimes it was in public places, other times it was at their homes."And the money?" Lev said, pulling a matchbox from his jacket pocket. He tossed it between his hands, the gentle, papery sound of the box rubbing against his palms echoing through the room.Confused, Jonah stared at him. "What money?""The payments," Lev replied, sliding a matchstick out of the box. "Ho
Reckless Hearts 202|Seen and Unseen
The meeting spot was a public swimming pool not too far from Eden McBride's old place on Alice Lane in Forrest Creek. In its heyday, at the height of summers long past, it used to overflow with excited little kids splashing in sparkling blue waters, while overprotective mothers sunbathed nearby on brightly-coloured beach towels. If Andrei closed his eyes long enough, he could almost picture the scenes—the loud, happy voices, the mechanical music blaring from an ice cream truck, and lifeguards sitting high up in their chairs, watching over the crowds. Ah, the good old days, Andrei sighed as Lev killed the engine. "What's that about?" the head of security asked as they pulled up beside Igor's car. "What's with the sigh?" "Just missing things long gone, that's all," Andrei murmured softly, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. "Remember the ice cream truck song?" "Music Box Dancer?" Lev asked, one brow shooting up, his eyes shining with curiosity. Andrei stared blankly at him. He had n
Reckless Hearts 201|Side Mission
Andrei sat there, unease building in his chest as he watched Veronika leave. She had acted as nonchalant as she could manage in the face of Jaco's betrayal, pretending she still trusted in their partnership. But there was nothing calm or nonchalant about the woman currently fighting with the strap of her Chanel handbag, as she slung it over her shoulder and marched toward the door. All Andrei had wanted was to confirm her alliance with Jaco, but somehow he'd shaken her faith in him.Realising there was only one place Veronika was headed, Andrei quickly finished his drink. He settled the bill before hurrying out of the bar.Outside in the crisp afternoon air, he was surprised to see Veronika had already vanished."Where did Veronika go?" he asked Lev. His head of security was enjoying a smoke near the entrance."She just got into a black Bentley," Lev replied, ashing his cigarette and dropping the stub on the sidewalk before pointing to the sleek car speeding away up ahead.Andrei had
Reckless Hearts 157|Raw And Unfiltered
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

The house was empty when Holly and her parents returned to the farm an hour later. Everyone was still out, running errands and working through their tasks. While her father went up to their room, mentioning something about an afternoon nap, her mom stepped onto the back porch to take a call. Holly

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

"What does a girl have to do to get your attention?" Veronika asked, placing her arms over the railing as she paused beside him. Andrei turned slightly to look at her, his eyebrows shooting up, surprised she'd chosen to lead with that, given their relationship."So?" she pressed, beaming at him as
