Her Volkovs #Book 2

Chapter 13

Belle's POV

Amy and I held hands as we walk out of Nikolai's office. We went past the table where Grace was

sitting. I smiled at her and she smiles back faintly. I also glanced at the other two, probably Natasha

and Patrick but they just quickly glanced at me and looked away.

Ivan and Vasily followed us from behind.

The office building is actually really huge. We took the elevator going down. When we exited the

elevator, to the left is the reception area. There are two women sitting and talking. They have

headphones on them. On the wall at the back is a gold Volkov Holdings name. There are also a couple

of men standing, probably the security detail in the building.

"Hey A, what did you say to the two?" It just doesn't feel right, she must have said something to them.

"I just warned Nikolai not to hurt you or else." Amy punched her palm like she can hurt my Nikolai. My

bestfriend is just so adorable.

The black SUV is waiting for us already. Ivan then opened the car door for us.

While in the car I told Amy about what happened on the race track with Artan and what he did to me in

the privy. We spoke our native language so that Ivan and Vasily won't be able to understand.

After several gasping and profanities coming out from Amy's mouth, I was surprised when she dropped

her head on my femme and smells me.

"What are you doing!?"

"B, you must be emitting some kind of a gangster pheromone or something." Amy said.

"Gangster pheromone? You're crazy A."

"Yes, It's a pheromone that only the mafia or the mob can smell. You are ripe and out for the taking B!"

I just shook my head at Amy. Her wild imagination is doing it again.

"Kidding aside B, you are having one hell of a New York life aren't ya?"

I chuckled. "No words can explain A."

"So how was Artans kiss?"

My eyes widened in horror. "Don't mention his name A!"

"Ooops...so how was it?"

"I did not enjoy a single bit A." I said as a matter of factly.

"What does he look like?"

"Human being."

"B!"

"Can we just change the topic please A? I promised my future husband that the guy will not come

between the two of us anymore. Not even a mention of his or his daughter's name."

It pains me to completely ignore Aria but Amy is right, I have to make a choice and I'm choosing

Nikolai. It breaks my heart to do this but I have already promised my future husband, and I'm planning

to fulfill that promise.

"Hmm fine! How about Alexei I'm sure I'm allowed to say his name."

I just smiled at her.

"The three of you. You have this weird body language. It's like....ugh I can't find the right word B!"

"Then don't overthink things A!"

"You are keeping something from me B! I just can feel it!" Amy said intensely.

"A, we are here to have a girl time. And guess what?"

"What?"

"You can buy whatever you want to buy, all on me."

"Hmmm....see! You're bribing me so that I won't insist on the truth! Spill it B!"

I then inhaled deep.

"Hmmm can you smell that A?"

"What?"

"The smell of pure Italian leather bag and oh what's that, hmm...that Larey Make up kit you have been

wanting to buy since what? Tenth grade?"

"You are...ah! Let's go B!" Amy is squealing in gladness like a child on Christmas morning.

After almost three hours of shopping, I feel like my legs are going to detach from my body. Ivan and

Vasily are holding our shopping bags and had been keeping up with us. We are now in a restaurant, I

forced Ivan and Vasily to sit with us at the table but the two never gave in. They still stood next to us

making sure that we are safe.

"Here B." Amy handed me something on the table.

"What's this?" When I took it, my eyes widened in horror.

Birth Control Pills.

"No!" I pushed it back towards her.

"You need to protect yourself B! At least until you and Nikolai are married." She pushed it back towards

me.

"I said no A! Nikolai wants to have a baby."

"Did you just hear yourself B? Nikolai! Only Nikolai wants to have a baby. Did he ever ask you if you

want to have a baby?" I froze to Amy's words.

"Did you ever ask yourself if you want to have a baby?" I know Amy will not let this one go. She thinks

that she's protecting me, and I understand that.

"Let's go home A. I'm tired."

"B! Just please listen to me!"

"A please, I dont want to talk about this anymore."

Amy looks all worried and just sighs in defeat.

My future husband agreed to defer my punishment. It might be because he felt that something is

wrong. I reflected on what Amy said. Deep in my heart I also want to have a baby with Nikolai. Contrary

to what my bestfriend fears, I know that my Nikolai would be the best father despite him being the

Mafia Boss. Vyacheslav was able to raise Nikolai and Yelena well even without a mother, more so this

time that, me and my Nikolai are both here for our future kids.

The three of us are in Nikolai's room. Alexei was the one who carried me on his arms to Nikolai's bed.

Alexei and Nikolai are already in their usual white shirt and boxers, while I'm wearing my white undies

and a pink cotton crop top. The no bra on policy of my ever difficult Nikolai has already taken effect.

Alexei is resting his back on the headboard of the bed. I'm resting my back on Alexei's side while his

hand is on my abdomen.

All of a sudden my phone vibrates. It's Dylan. Geez of all the time to call me, why now Dy?

"Why the fuck is that shithead calling you?" Alexei said all too seriously. His mood suddenly changed.

He then tried to snatch my phone from my hand.

"No Alexei, please. Perhaps Dylan wants to say something important."

"Then he can say it to me. Give me the phone princess or I swear this motherfucker will not see the

light of day tomorrow."

I looked at Alexei sternly as he again threatens Dylan's life. I just decided to hand him the phone. He Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

then answered Dylan's call.

"What do you want? Yah well you cant talk to her. Go fuck yourself." He then quickly cancelled the call.

My eyes widened in horror. What did Dylan ever do to him?

I just heard Nikolai snorted. I quickly remove myself from Alexei and tried to grab the phone back but

he throws it right next to him on the other side.

I begrudgingly lay on my side facing my back on Alexei.

"Nikolai I want to sleep, come here, just the two of us."

There's this moment of silence after I said that.

"It's okay brother." Said Alexei.

I then felt him walk out and shut the door. I am so mad at him but at the same time, I feel so guilty for

making him feel out of place. Nikolai then snuggled me. I can feel him breathe on my nape.

"My brother, he's one possessive asshole just like me."

"Nikolai, Dylan is my friend."

"He was your boyfriend." Nikolai said correcting me.

I turned to face Nikolai and buried my face on his neck. I feel like my heart is being crushed for doing

this to Alexei. I shouldn't have said that to him.

"Nikolai baby, let's sleep at Alexei's?"

Nikolai said I should talk to Alexei first. I know it was a low blow for me to say that to him. Ugh! I really

hate myself right now.

When I entered his room I see that he is holding a glass of scotch and a cigar while watching

something on television.

When he sees me, he drinks all the scotch from the glass and pours another shot.

I sat in front of him. I looked him in the eyes but he gazes away from me. He then places the smoke on

his mouth and inhales. The cigar lit up as he inhales deep.

"Alexei..."

He is still not looking at me. I inched close to him. He looks to the side as he exhales the smoke from

his mouth and nose. He places the glass on the side table and clips his cigar on the ashtray. Alexei

then stood up from the bed and walks away from me. He then went to the door and opened it.

"Out." Alexei said ordering me to go out of his room. My heart feels like it's being torn into pieces.

I stood up and looked at him in the eyes.

"I said get out Belle!" Alexei yelled at me.

"So I am just Belle now?"

"Yes. Just like I'm JUST Alexei to you."

"You are important to me and Nikolai."

"Well, you sure have a unique way of showing importance."

"Then what do you want Alexei? Tell me!"

He did not answer me. Alexei's hazel eyes are looking at me so intensely.

"Alexei! What do you want?"

He slammed the door close and walks in my direction.

"I fucking want you Belle! But you're giving me these mixed signals, it's driving me insane! " Mix

signals? What does that even mean?

"I fucking believed that I might actually have a place somewhere in your heart but just a while ago you

made me realize that it was all in my fucking head!" Alexei signaled his index finger on his head.

At this point, my tears are threatening to fall. I quickly wrap my arms around Alexei. I want to touch him

to make him feel that I regret doing that to him.

"I did not mean what I said a while ago. I was just upset Alexei."

Alexei then pushed me away from him making me sit on the bed. He then ran his fingers on his hair in

frustration.

"Just go Belle."

"No!" I stood up on the bed and embraced him tightly. "I'm sorry Alexei. Forgive me." I cupped his face

and made him look me in the eyes.

She removed my hands from his face and turns his back on me. He places his hands on his waist.

"Out." Alexei said flatly.

I could not take the pain anymore so I quickly exited the room.
