Chapter 95 Compromised

• "Drug lord?" Andrei stammered, Holly's words knocking the wind right out of him.
• Yes, he was the head honcho of a criminal organisation and knew precisely the damage his drugs were doing, not just in Rock Castle, but the world over. But ever since he took over from Leks, he'd learned to dissociate and compartmentalise. There were two Andreis inside him, fighting daily for control. One understood his duty to the family and what it took to keep the money coming in. Then there was the other Andrei, who deplored everything about the family business, especially the legacy his father had built on so much bloodshed and tears. And it was this Andrei Colleen had reached out to when she found herself neck-deep in the underworld scene.
• Watching Colleen fight off her addiction and almost die from withdrawal symptoms in one of her father's abandoned warehouses, Andrei had sworn he'd never go through that again with someone he cared for.
