Her Volkovs #Book 1

Chapter 41

Belle's POV

I crinkled my eyebrows. "You were the one what Nikolai?" Oh god, the suspense is killing me. I feel like

I'm already running out of breath.

"I was the one who saw a girl slam her face on the glass window at a flowershop." He has now a smirk

plastered on his face while looking at me teasingly.

I gasped and parted my lips in disbelief. "Nikolai!!!!!" Oh god I feel like I'm going to faint. So it was him.

The one I heard chuckle from behind.

"It was you!!! How could you Nikolai!!!!" I can feel my face heat up. I know that I'm already turning

crimson. Oh god, I then remember the embarrassing Marilyn Monroe moment I had. I smack him on his

shoulder a couple of times but he just lets out a chuckle in response.

"Why do you always enjoy embarrassing me Nikolai?"

"I like it when you blush. It gives me unbelievable pleasure baby."

I just shook my head on him. Well, this man is crazy.

"That was also the day I realized I still have this." Nikolai trailed my hand to his heart. "That was the

first time I felt something for a girl I don't even know the name. I thought it was just a weird feeling but

then I saw her again at that exact place. I knew I want her in my life at that precise moment."

How do I even respond to that? So Nikolai fell in love with me the first time he saw me? Just like what I

felt for him?

"But then one night, some piece of shit tried to harm and rob my girl from me, so I had him incinerated

alive."

Oh my god. I don't know if I'm going to be overjoyed because of his confession of love or terrified by

the fact that he had Jared burned alive.

"I will destroy anyone who will try to harm you baby."

"But Nikolai...."

I feel like my heart is beating a million times. My Nikolai who swept me off my feet the first time I saw

him. The man who took my virginity in a very Nikolai way. The man who gave me unimaginable pain

and happiness. This man will indeed do everything for me. I then remember Calvin, the two men from

the stadium, Jared and even Dylan. They were either dead, beaten up so bad and threatened to be

killed all because of me.

I really want to tell him to stop with the violence but then I know that the moment I went back to Nikolai

and Alexei's lives, I have already accepted them, all of them, Mafia and all, monsters and all. This is my

Nikolai. He is the boss of the Russian Mafia.

"Let me prove myself to you. I cannot promise I will not screw up again but I will do my best to protect

you and love you until my last breath." Said Nikolai as he tightens his grip on me.

At this point my heart has already melted down. If there's a happier place than heaven, I feel like I am

in it right now.

"Nikolai...I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Allow me to make it up to you now. I will give you everything and

anything you want. We will go anywhere you want to go. Just say the word baby, I will do anything for

you."

"Really? Even getting rid of I.V?

"I.V?" Said Nikolai and he looks puzzled.

"Yah, I.V, Ivan and Vasily." I gave him the sweetest smile.

Nikolai lets out a smirk in response. "That's non-negotiable."

"Aww, but you just said you will do anything for me Nikolai!" Well at least I tried.

"You know that's not what I meant you witty brain."

"But Nikolai....immnoottussseeddtooohavingggbodddyyyguuuardsss." I mumble my words as Nikolai

kisses me lustfully while I try to speak. He then removes his lips on mine.

"What's that baby?" Nikolai said while sporting a wicked smile.

"I said....immmmmnnotussseddtoohaavinngboodddyguaardss." He again planted a long lustfull kiss on

my lips while I was talking. I giggle and smack him on his shoulder. He really enjoys doing this to me.

"Ivan and Vasily are instructed to take out whoever tries to even lay a finger on you. They can protect

you while me or Alexei are not with you. You are mine now and I will never allow anything to happen to

you baby."

"Why would anything happen to me?"

"I have powerful enemies. And they are just waiting for an opportunity to ruin me. I will never let them

do that again."

"What do you mean Nikolai?"

"What happened to my father was a hit and I'm closing in on whoever did that to him. They thought

they can destroy the Volkov crime family by killing my father and Viktor, but that was the biggest

mistake they have ever made. I am going to find them. I will find them one by one, including the most

precious people in their lives, and I'm going to personally put a bullet in each of their heads." Nikolai

said all too seriously. His eyes are full of hatred and vengeance. I fully understand why Nikolai wants to

avenge his family. All I can do right now is be by his side and support him.

"How about Yelena, what happened to her Nikolai?"

I can instantly see the sadness on Nikolai's eyes.

"Yelena took off driving her own car without her security detail. When we found out about it, Alexei and

I went looking for her but we were too late. Her car already crashed. We arrived at the scene a few

minutes late. We tried to pull her out of the car but she's already dead. We first thought it was a hit

considering what happened to my father. That someone rigged the car or something, but we got hold of NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

a camera footage of the accident. Plus there was no hit placed on Yelena's head that we know of at

that time. So we are to believe that it was just purely an accident. "

I feel like my heart is being crushed. My poor Nikolai and Alexei have been through so much. Now I

understand why Nikolai is insisting on putting security detail on me.

"I'm so sorry Nikolai."

Nikolai cupped my face and slowly places his lips on mine. I feel like volts of electricity are running

through my body as our lips touch. I inhale his warm breath inside my lungs.

"Nikolai, that day when you said that you just played me.."

He then interrupted me.

"That was the biggest mistake I have ever made. And I'm still paying the price for that mistake."

"Tell me what made you do that all of a sudden Nikolai?"

"When I arrived home that day, I heard the favorite piano piece of Yelena. She always plays that song

whenever she's at home. I immediately went to the living room. And then, I saw her. I saw Yelena. She

was wearing her white dress and her favorite red daisies."

Nikolai blinked before continuing.

"At least that's what I want to believe at that time. I want to believe that even just for that beautiful

morning, Yelena came back and she's alive. But I know it was just wishful thinking. The image of her

face full of blood flashed back in my head."

I feel like my eyes are being pinched by tiny needles. Nikolai is still grieving from Yelena's death. And

he's blaming himself for what happened to her.

"And then I saw you when you turned to face us. At that instance, I know in my heart that I won't be

able to survive if you face the same fate as my father and Yelena. I don't know if I would still be able to

keep it together if you die because of me. So I decided to let you go. Id rather see you with another

person than keep you with me putting your life at risk every single day. I'd rather die inside baby."

"Nikolai, I also died when you pushed me away. My heart was shattered into pieces and it almost killed

me. It was not just for you to decide."

Nikolai then plants a kiss on my lips. "I know baby, that's why I'm asking you to give me another chance

to make it up to you."

I wrapped my arms around him."We will work this out Nikolai. You and me, forever and ever."

"You and me, forever and ever baby." Said Nikolai, while touching my face with the back of his hand.

The doubt that I used to see on Nikolai's face when I once said that to him is now gone. He now

believes that we have a forever and ever.

?????

Nikolai dragged his chair right beside me. We then ate our dinner in peace. Well technically not in

peace because Nikolai would place his hand on my thigh from time to time, making me gasp for air. He

is such a tease.

I glanced at the man playing the violin while sipping my glass of wine.

"Baby, don't look around. Just look at this pretty face beside you and you'll be safe."

I just shook my head on Nikolai's arrogance. Narcissist level ten thousand, Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov.

My heart suddenly jumped when he again ran his hand through the slit of my dress. I have had enough

so I slowly ran my fingers on top of his bulge in response. I instantly see Nikolai adjust his tie and his

posture. I got you baby.

"I can play dirty as well Nikolai." I whisper to his ear and made a small bite.

Nikolai instantly pulled me close to him. "Do you want me to fuck you right now on this table?"

Knowing Nikolai, there's no doubt in my mind that he will do exactly what he said if I continue teasing

him. I shook my head while making a sad face.

"That's right, it's good that we perfectly understand each other." Nikolai said all too arrogantly. He then

guided me to sit on his lap. I instantly felt his cock from his pants. I wrap my arm around his neck and

plants kisses on his cheek and neck.

The wind is blowing my hair and I feel like I want to drift off to sleep. My face is heating up already. It

must be because of the wine.

"You are beautiful Mary Arabella Volkov." Nikolai said while kissing my face. I feel like I'm floating in the

air. I don't want this night to end. I want the time to stop and stay right here, in Nikolai's warm and tight

embrace.

I rested my head on Nikolai's shoulder. "I love you Nikolai."

"I love you baby."

Nikolai slowly stood up while carrying me in his arms. "Where are we going?"

"To Mrs. Volkov."

Mrs. Volkov? I thought Vyacheslav took away Nikolai from his mother when he was still a baby and

made sure Nikolai doesn't meet her again. Oh my god, what if Nikolai has a wife and I'm just his

mistress? All the bad thoughts are running in my mind right now.

We are already in the elevator with Yuri and Boris. I feel like my heart is beating a million times. I am so

confused. I wanted to ask Nikolai but there's still an awkward silence in the elevator.

Who is Mrs. Volkov?
