Her Volkovs #Book 2

Chapter 22

Belle's POV

I went down to the kitchen to fetch water. I wipe my tears off of my face as I approach the fridge. I then

poured water into a glass and slowly drink it. I feel like my knees are crumbling down so I held on tight

on the center island. My tears are starting to fall again. I can't understand what's happening between This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

me and Nikolai. Everything was fine until Artan came into the picture.

"Madame are you alright?"

It's Vasily. He entered the kitchen. He looks like he just went for a run.

I instantly wipe the tears off of my face.

"Madame..." He said while standing a few feet away from me.

"I'm fine Vasily." At this point my tears are starting to run down my face again. I don't know why but

there's a flow of emotion pouring in me right now. I can't help but just cry.

Vasily inched close to me and wraps his arms around me. I dropped on his chest and instantly sob.

Vasily did not say a single word.

After several seconds Ivan came barging in the kitchen half-naked and all sweaty.

He was halted when he saw Vasily and I.

I quickly wipe the tears off of my face, remove myself from Vasily's arms and exited the kitchen.

IVAN AND VASILY IN THEIR ROOM

Ivan: You're playing with fire bro! What if the Boss saw you with Madamme? Do you think you're still

gonna be alive by tomorrow?"

Vasily: Madamme... she's...

Ivan: Fuck!!!! Whatever it is that you're thinking or feeling about Madamme, you better stop it! She's off-

limits brother. We, of all people should know that!

Vasily: I fucking know!

Ivan: Good! Because it's not only your ass that's going to end if the Boss ever finds out about this. Our

families brother, our Pa's and your Ma. Even if our fathers are elders of our organization, you know the

Boss will not think twice to burn us all down if he finds out your screwing him over! You said it yourself.

The boss is the single most brutal motherfucker you have known, it's not worth it bro!

I decided to sleep in Alexei's room and lock myself inside. Several minutes later I see the door knob

being forced open. The door was then slowly opened with a key. Alexei went inside and snuggled me

directly.

"Princess, don't give up on him. Dont give up on us."

"I can't understand Nikolai, Alexei." I said while burying my face on Alexei's neck.

"My brother doesn't understand himself as well."

I looked at Alexei waiting for him to explain what he said.

"This is Nikolai's first relationship. He is new to all of these and it's driving him nuts."

I did not say a word to Alexei. I just wrap my arm around him and close my eyes. I am too tired to think

right now.

"You're the only person in this world that he can't live without. He won't be able to survive without you.

He will lose himself if he loses you."

I don't know why but despite what has happened tonight, I still believe in every word that Alexei said.

I can feel my thoughts are slowly drifting off. I am lulled to sleep in Alexei's warm embrace.

??????

I was awakened by small kisses all over my face. When I flickered my eyes, I see Alexei, half naked.

He cups my breast with his right hand. I run my hand on my back hoping that Nikolai is by my side but

he's not.

"What time is it Alexei?"

Alexei took his phone from the side table and checked the time.

"Almost ten a.m."

"Oh, where's Nikolai?"

"He left early." Said Alexei while kissing my neck.

"Where to?"

"Boston."

Oh my god. Memories of the woman from the picture came rushing back to me. If im not mistaken, her

name is Yrina she's the daughter and an heiress of a real estate mogul in Boston.

"What is he doing there?"

"Business."

"What kind of business? Yrina Yvanislov business?"

When Alexei heard me mention her name, he halted to meet my eyes.

"I know Nikolai went to meet her at a business event the night before he pushed me away. And I also

know that there was no weather disturbance to keep him from going home that night. Both of you lied

to me."

Alexei's looked surprised. I then remove myself from him, gathered my hair to a messy bun and exited

his room.

I took a quick shower and put on one of Yelena's dresses. I badly need to get out to breathe some air.

Ivan opened the car door for me while Vasily is already in the driver's seat.

When I entered the car, Alexei is already inside waiting for me. He is wearing a white shirt and rugged

jeans. He's smoking a cigar while the window on his side is open.

"You dont neeed to drop me off yourself Alexei. Let Ivan and Vasily do their job."

"Who says about dropping you off? I'm coming with you wherever you go." He said while blowing the

smoke from his mouth.

"I'm going to Amy's and most probably Dylan will be there because it's his house."

"So?"

"So? You hate him."

"I despise him."

"Great! Then don't come with."

"Not a single chance."

I sat farthest from Alexei. I still can't believe that Nikolai went to Boston without even saying a word to

me. And I know Alexei is covering up for him.

"We are not in speaking terms so don't talk to me like there's no problem hanging between the three of

us Alexei."

"Yrina is nothing. She's just...."

"She's just what?"

"She's no one."

"Good to know. Are you gonna tell me then that Nikolai did not go there because of her?

"She's not the only reason why my brother is there."

Shit. So she's one of the reasons why Nikolai is in Boston.

"Call Nikolai now Alexei."

Since I don't have a phone anymore, I asked Alexei to call Nikolai himself.

They talked to each other in Russian. A few seconds later Alexei ended the call. Wow, Nikolai did not

even bother talking to me.

"Why did you end the call? I want to talk to him!"

"I'm sorry."

"What do you mean you're sorry? Nikolai doesn't want to talk to me is that it?"

Alexei did not answer me.

"Stay away from me Alexei!"

I'm walking on the street while Alexei is following me from behind. He's placing his hands inside his

pockets while walking. The two black SUV's are following us.

"Princess, you have been walking for three blocks. Are you sure your legs are still not tired?"

To be honest I think I am going to collapse anytime now. The sun is way up and I can feel the soft heat

touching my face.

"Go away!"

"I won't." Said Alexei stubbornly.

"Suit yourself Alexei."

"Okay."

"Okay."

When I look back again, Alexei is now inching close to me.

"Why don't you follow your brother in Boston. Don't you want to enjoy yourself away from me as well

Alexei?"

"Being away from you is hell."

"Aww..." The women huddling while pushing their baby strollers said in unison as we pass them by.

"Forgive him hun. He deserves a second chance. Look at that face." Said the oldest of the three to me.

"Don't get fooled by his face maam." I said to them. They just giggled while looking at us.

When I glanced at Alexei, I saw him wink at them while giving the cutest and naughtiest smile to them.

They all puffed like seeing the dreamiest guy in the whole world. I'd like to call it, the Volkov effect. I

swear, it's like prohibited to be ugly when you're in the Russian Mafia. All of them in the Volkov crime

family are drop dead gorgeous, except of course to the old and balding ones. I just giggle inside.

I looked at Alexei and rolled my eyes on him. To my surprise, Alexei catches me by my arm and grabs

me close to him.

"The more you're making me chase after you, the more I get turned on."

Said Alexei, whispering in my ear. My lips parted when all of a sudden he manhandles me making my

ass fly in the air. Alexei then spanked my bum it made a sound.

"Bad girl!" He said.

I heard the people around us, especially Alexei's own fans club giggle.

"Alexei you're embarrassing me. Put me down!"

"Good. I was heading towards that direction actually." Alexei retorted.

He then went towards the car and places me inside. I adjusted my hair away from my face and blew air

on some strands. Alexei sat beside me and instantly places his hand on my thighs,

"Pump up the AC please." I said to I.V. Ivan quickly obliged.

I decided not to go to Amy's anymore because of Alexei. I know it's going to be chaos if his and Dylan's

paths cross again.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go with you. Do you have any business to attend to supposedly?"

I have decided to make the most out of my time with Alexei. It would be unfair for him if I'm going to

punish him for Nikolai's doing. I will deal with Nikolai later. Meantime, Alexei and I deserve our own

time.

"Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Yes Alexei. I'm all yours today."

I sat on his lap and kisses him on his lips. His beautiful hazel eyes are looking at me intently. I then

touch his lips with my index finger and planted a small bite on his lower lip.

Alexei resumed his canceled lunch meeting today. We are now on our way to a small town somewhere.

I'm on Alexei's lap. I wrap my right arm around his neck while he is kissing my face and neck.

All of a sudden, I feel like my insides are turning.

"Pull over please." I said while holding my mouth.

Vasily did not pull over, he waited for Alexei's signal first.

I can't hold it any longer so I quickly rolled down the car window and threw up while the car is still

moving.

"Shit. Stop the car!" Said Alexei.

I'm still throwing up and holding my stomach. Alexei is collecting my hair together and holds my

forehead with his other hand. While I'm catching my breath I can feel that I am having cold sweat.

When I feel like I have vomited everything inside my stomach I went back sitting beside Alexei while

still trying to catch my breath.

"Let's go back now!" Said Alexei all worried.

"No, we are almost there arent we? I'm okay. I just need some water Alexei."

"No we are going back."

"Alexei please I need this. I want to breathe some fresh air."

Alexei lets out a frustrated sigh.

"Fine, but promise me that you will tell me if you're not feeling well."

"Yes I will. I promise."

"What have you eaten lately?"

"Just the usual, nothing new that would upset my stomach. I'm okay Alexei. Really."

We went by a convenience store to buy some water and food. Alexei's men are fetching them for us.

Alexei is outside the car talking on the phone and I think I know who he is talking to.

Ivan and Vasily are in the front seats not saying a single word.

"Vasily can you tell Alexei's men to get me chocolates with almonds and chips, preferably the salty

one?"

Vasily just cleared his throat and exited the car.

Geez what is up with Vasily?
