Lock You In My Heart



Remy's words felt like nails piercing into Holly's skin. It was too cruel, but it was the truth.

Not a lot of people knew about the Collins family, but Holly remembered everything. After all, it was her mother's side of the family. After Westley fell in love with Helena, the Collins family took advantage of their relationship. Everyone thought highly of the family that was soon going to be in-laws with the Morris family. They became a powerhouse in Antawood overnight.

True enough, the blessings rained down on the Edwards family too.

In the rise and fall of the Collins family, Westley was at the center. They skyrocketed to the top when he chose

Helena's love, but they fell from grace just as quickly when Nellie, the second daughter, offended him. Now, they were a shamed household. Only a few people cared about them and their business also declined greatly. Like a ripple effect, the Edwards family also suffered.

However, the Collins family had no one else to blame. They brought it upon themselves.

Westley's influence was his greatest power. Not only could he control the economy of their city, but he also held people's lives in the palm of his hand. He was untouchable.

And now, Holly had done something Westley despised. Remy was unsympathetic.

"Remy, please... I know I can't ask Westley to forgive me... And I won't even dare to do so. Can you ask him to come and see me? I need to tell him that I will accept any punishment, but please, leave the Edwards family out of it,"

Holly pleaded.

'It's no use, Holly. You better give up now. Westley doesn't want to see you," Remy said coldly.

He couldn't care less what Holly wanted.

'I'm not giving up. I want to see Westley, or I'll really slash my wrists!" Holly shouted.

Remy didn't take her threat seriously. If she really wanted to hurt herself, he would let her do it.

He said nothing to persuade her otherwise.

Remy thought she was being manipulative. Such people didn't deserve sympathy. If he showed her an ounce of pity, she would keep asking him for bigger favors in the future.

"Holly, do you really think that's going to work?" His tone was cold as ice.

"You think I'm just kidding, don't you? You think I won't do it?" Remy's indifference was pissing her off. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Why would you threaten me with your own life in the first place? What will you gain from it? Such a thing won't work on Westley either. You're just wasting your time. Now, are you going to let me treat your injuries or not?"

Remy sighed.

"You're heartless, Remy. If you don't believe me, then... " Holly's words trailed off and she swiped the knife in an instant.

Blood immediately oozed out from her wrist.noveldrama

"Holly!" Remy screamed.

He was stunned for a moment, seeing the rich red color dripping to the floor. In a snap, he came to his senses and forcibly took the knife from her hand. "Dammit, do you really want to die?!" Holly wasn't strong enough, so she didn't resist when Remy fought her down. He immediately wrapped the gauze around her wound to stop the bleeding.

Fortunately, the wound wasn't too deep.

"Have you lost your mind?!" Remy snapped.

"I've gone crazy, alright!" Holly started sobbing. "I need to see Westley. Just once, please. I need to keep the Edwards family out of this. I'll accept all the punishment! Please, help me." Holly's body was aching all over. The ordeal left her weaker and weaker.

Remy exhaled loudly. Holly was a madwoman.

"If you had known what the consequences were, then why did you do that in the first place? Why did you cross Westley? You could've toyed with anyone else but not Gabrielle," Remy reminded her.

Holly was not what he expected.

"I didn't mean to, Remy. You have to believe me."

"You've really done it, you. You were still lucky that Gabrielle was unharmed. If she got hurt, even I couldn't imagine what Westley would do. But you know that you and the Edwards family would never be able to compensate for it."

Remy deftly wrapped a tourniquet to stop the bleeding and he purposefully applied some anesthetic, hoping it would help Holly sleep.

That should stop her from losing control.

"Can you go ask Westley now? As long as he lets go of the Edwards family, I'm willing to do anything," Holly said weakly, but with conviction. "Let's get that cut dressed first. I don't want you to die of'shock and ruin my career for being careless." He made quick work of Holly's wounds in silence, and she didn't resist anymore.

Remy had a gentle aura, but Holly realized he was also resolute and just as cruel.

Remy had her fate in his hands. If she wanted to see Westley, she would have to convince him first. So, Holly decided to be obedient.

"I won't make things hard for you anymore, alright? Treat me all you want, but after we're done, please call Westley for me," Holly murmured.

Remy nodded, watching her doze off. The anesthetic was working and sure enough, after five minutes, Holly slumped on the sofa beside her. Finally, Remy heaved a sigh of relief. Dealing with a woman like Holly took a lot out of him.

Remy fixed her wounds up and headed to look for Westley.

Thankfully, Gabrielle wasn't injured in any way. She was visibly shaken so Westley had been calming her down.

Remy found the two of them cuddling on the sofa.

“Westley, I'm afraid there's bad news. Holly tried to cut her wrist."
