Her Volkovs #Book 3

Chapter 19

Belle's POV

Nikolai and Alexei went to a meeting. Matushka is nowhere to be seen. And I was left in the house with

four tall and huge body guards who look like they can snap my head in just a click. It's like being in a

prison. The Volkov Prison.

Im lying on my back on Nikolai's bed while looking up at the ceiling. I want to eat something sour like a

fruit. I went downstairs and found nothing to my liking. I took my purse and attempted to leave the

house but the moment I stepped near the door, two of the four huge men wearing black leather jackets

blocked the door.

"Get out of my way." I demanded.

"Madame, we cannot let you leave, the Boss' order."

Why am I not surprised?

"Dial Nikolai and hand me your phone." They looked at each other as if deciding to give in. One of them

took his phone from his inner pocket, dialed Nikolai, talked to him for a few seconds in Russian and

handed me the phone.

"Nikolai tell your men to get out of my way."

"Youre not leaving the house without me. If you need anything, tell the help what you need and she'll

get it for you."

He sounds dead serious and I'm too exhausted and hungry to argue so I did not insist anymore. "I want

to talk to Alexei. Hand him the phone."

Seconds later Alexei answered,

"Princess?"

"Alexei, tell your men to allow me to get out of the house please?"

"Just wait for me to come home and Ill take you wherever you want to go." He answered. Argh! He

sounds exactly like Nikolai.

"I'm craving to eat something! I swear to god I'm going to die if you will not let me out of the house

Alexei! Besides, what could possibly happen to me? I have four body guards with me."

I heard him sigh on the other side of the line, "Okay. But I want to see you home when we get back

from the meeting."

"Okay, I promise."

I quickly disconnected the call before he could even change his mind or worst before Nikolai overrides

Alexei's decision.

I made the SUV pull over next to a fruit stand. I bought a few green colored tropical fruits and some

citrus. The old woman placed the fruits in a brown bag and handed it to one of my bodyguards.

I then decided to take a stroll for a while. I passed through some restaurants and shops and decided to

go inside to some but not without catching a lot of unwanted attention. I swear these men assigned to

me by Nikolai and Alexei really mean business.

I suddenly miss my Ivan and Vasily. Those two looked scary but at least I wasnt scared of them. I

actually felt those two cared for me, especially the often serious and frowning Vasily.

I'm eating an apple while clutching on my chest a vinyl record I bought from a small vintage shop I

passed by while walking along the streets of this part of New York City. After a few minutes my legs are

doing it again so I decided to rest on a bench and run my hand through my legs to ease the pain.

I then rested my back on the bench and gazed blankly in front of me.

I noticed a brunette woman right across the street. She's holding her abdomen while standing in front

of what seems like a clinic. She's wearing loose pants and a light blue shirt.

She's looking down her stomach then on the entrance of the clinic in intervals. I clearly saw that she

wiped her eyes before finally deciding to enter the clinic.

My heart instantly sunk when I realized what kind of services the clinic is offering. Oh my god. It's an

abortion clinic.

I suddenly feel like I needed to do something about what I just saw. What if the woman is actually

pregnant and decided to do what I think she will do? Perhaps I can talk her out of it?

I stood up hurriedly and walked as fast as I can across the street. I feel like my heart is beating a

thousand times. At this point the pain I was feeling in my legs is now gone. The rush of adrenaline is

taking over my body. Oh god please enlighten the woman. Maybe she just needed someone to talk to.

Whatever it is, maybe I can help.

I was about to push the entrance of the clinic when all of a sudden somebody pulled my hand abruptly

away from the door. My body spun and landed on someone.

It's Nikolai. What is he even doing here?

His eyes are burning mad while looking at me with a clenched jaw. I could not see the Nikolai that I fell

in love with in these eyes. The man holding me tight right now is a complete stranger.

But then, reality sinks in. This stranger is now my husband and I'm just his little wife.

He dragged me to the SUV and forced me to sit on the front passenger seat. He slammed the door and

walked around in front towards the driver's seat and started the engine.

My hands are shaking and my tears are already threatening to fall. I held on to my seat tightly as

Nikolai drives like a mad man.

"Nikolai, what are you doing? Please stop! Nikolai please!"

He did not answer me. He just continues driving looking livid as hell. His grip on the steering wheel

tightens by the second. He then took his phone from his inside chest pocket and talked to someone in

Russian. I looked back and I can see that the other SUVs are following us.

Moments later, Nikolai pulled over inside a gated compound. This is the place where he brought me to

see the Russian Mafia's illegal ventures. There are already several men waiting for us at the entrance

of the enclosed property.

He pulled me out of the car and dragged me inside the building. He's holding my hand tightly while

instructing his men something in Russian. He slammed the door shut and locked us both inside.

He lets go of my hand and went to his desk and looked for something in the drawer. My eyes widened

in horror when he pulled a gun and checked to make sure that it is loaded.

At this point I'm already stepping back slowly. My heart is racing so fast and my knees are shaking.

"N-Nikolai, wh-what are you doing? Why are you doing this? Where's Alexei?"

He's slowly walking towards my direction while holding the gun pointing downwards.

"Is this how much you hate me Belle?! You made an excuse to go out of the house so you can have

our baby aborted?! You want to kill my baby?!" He growled like an animal right in front of my face.

He then shoved the gun to my hand and pointed it towards his chest. My hand is already shaking

uncontrollably while holding the gun and pointing it directly to his heart.

"Shoot me. Pull the trigger and kill me instead Belle! Kill me!"

I feel like my heart is being crushed into tiny pieces. Nikolai sounds defeated. I can sense despair in his

voice. It's like he has completely lost his hope.

"Do it." He said while stepping forward effectively pushing the gun towards his chest closely. "I have

ordered my men to clean up after this. Alexei will succeed me when I'm gone. All you have to do is pull

the trigger so I can repay you for all the pain I have caused you. You and my brother can go on with

your lives together with my baby. Give the little one everything he deserves as a Volkov. Name the little

nut Vyacheslav Nikolai Volkov regardless if it's a boy or a girl. That's all I'm asking for. I would gladly do

this myself but death is more beautiful if I die in the hands of the woman I love and the mother of my

child."

I hate this man to the bone but not having him beside me, especially now that we are having a baby, is

unthinkable. I slowly put the gun down and threw it to the sofa next to us.

"Why would I do that if I can punish you for the rest of you life? I guess youre mistaken Nikolai."

Nikolai fell on his knees in front of me, wrapped his arms around my waist tightly and burried his face

on my stomach.

"Why do you want to abort our baby?" He spoke softly almost mumbling his words.

"I wasnt going to abort our baby, Nikolai. I just went out to buy some fruits because I was craving for Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

something sour. It so happened that I saw a woman who I think was about abort her baby. I was going

to talk her out of doing it but you suddenly appeared and went nuts."

He looked up to me as if processing what I have just said. He then went back to burying his face on my

stomach while holding me tight.

"Nikolai, will you please stand up?"

"Shh.... quiet I'm going to talk to my baby." He said while looking straight at my abdomen.

I just rolled my eyes in response.

"Hey baby, it's me your Pa. How are you doing their buddy?"

At this point Nikolai continued talking to our little one but I forced myself to zone out because I can feel

that my guards are slowly crumbling down.
