Her Volkovs #Book 2

Chapter 19

Belle's POV

Nikolai and Alexei instantly stood beside me while looking straight at the Albanian's entourage. Artan

and my future husband are now having a boastful staredown. I feel like my heart is beating a million

times.

I then carried Aria on my arms. The moment she sees Nikolai she instantly spreads her right arm

gesturing Nikolai to come close to her.

"Hi little princess." Said Nikolai to Aria.

Aria is now wrapping her arms on both my and my future husband's necks. To my surprise, the little

angel kisses me and Nikolai on our cheeks one by one. I can see that Nikolai's expression suddenly

changed. I know Aria was able to get into Nikolai's heart of steel.

Aria then touches my headdress and hair while looking all amazed. The moment she saw my wings,

her lips parted in awe.

"Come my little angel, do you want to see my ladybug and grasshopper friends as well?"

Aria just nodded with a smile on her face.

I then looked at Nikolai in the eyes.

"Nikolai baby..."

"It's okay baby..." Said Nikolai.

I glanced at Artan while putting Aria down to stand. He's looking at me intently. I then walk past him and

his men while clutching Aria with my right hand.

My insides are turning as we approach backstage. Vasily, Ivan and Artan's two other men are following

from behind.

Dylan is sitting in the middle of my boys and he looks like he was able to pacify the three except for

Sylvester who has now a permanent frown on his face. Amy was done with arranging the costumes of

my three girls. My bestfriend and my second bestfriend were surprisingly able to tame the kids.

"Hello everyone, this is Aria. Aria these are my friends. Do you want to play with them?"

The moment Amy heard Aria's name, her eyes widened.

Aria instantly hid behind my gown. I then knelt to her.

"Hey it's okay. You can stick with me instead if you want?"

Aria just nodded at me as she glances in my kids direction. Amy quickly went in my direction and spoke

to me in our native language.

"You mean?"

"Yes, he's here."

"Omg! Where? Oh you're so screwed B." Said Amy, teasing me.

I shoot another glare at her.

Oh my gosh, could this night be more heart pounding?

I then noticed my bestfriend glance at the back.

"Uh-oh." Said Amy.

"What Uh-oh?"

When I looked back, I see Alexei approach our direction and he looks livid.

Shit.

Amy instantly grabs Aria from me. I quickly paced towards Alexei's direction and stopped him.

"Alexei, please, Dylan is just here to help." I said with a low voice.

"You could have told me you needed help. Don't give me that shitty excuse."

"Alexei please? Even just for tonight."

"You fucking promised me."

Oh my god. What is happening? Why is this happening to me? First Artan, now this.

"I know, just please can we talk about this later?" My arms are now wrapped around Alexei's waist.

"What's there to talk about? If you break your promise, I'm gonna have to break mine.You're not giving

me any choice Belle."

Yup, he's mad. He's calling me by my name.

At this point I don't know how to ease down Alexei anymore so I just landed a kiss on his lips and looks

at him in the eyes.

"I love you Alexei."

I can see that I'm slowly getting into my difficult Alexei. I let out the sweetest smile at him.

"Talk later? I'll let you spank me while we talk? I know I have been a bad bad girl tonight."

His facial expression suddenly toned down.

"Yah?"

"Uhuh"

Geeez the things that I would do. I know Alexei has a thing for spanking and my butt. That's the only

thing I can think of now to calm him down.

My eyes widened when all of a sudden, Sylvester appeared from nowhere and makes the cutest punch

on Alexei's thigh and kicks him on his leg. I don't know if I'm going to be horrified or smile in

amusement.

Alexei has a puzzled look on his face.

"Hey big guy, what seems to be the problem? Do you have a problem with me?" Alexei said as he

squats, meeting Sylvester eye to eye. My Alexei has now a smirk plastered on his face.

All of a sudden Sylvester wraps his arms around my thigh while looking at Alexei all too seriously.

"So someone has a little crush. I can't blame you big guy, she's really amazing. I'm sure we can both

agree on that."

I just shook my head at Alexei.

"Listen to me. When you grow a little bigger and taller, you call me. I have a job for you." Said Alexei

trying to pacify Sylvester.

"Meantime, I want you to know that your teacher Belle is mine. Got it? Now scram." Alexei then stood

up and signaled Sylvester to shoo away. My lips parted in horror.

"Alexei!"

"While still young he should learn to accept defeat, someday he will thank me for doing him a favor."

I rolled my eyes at him. "He's just a kid. Not to mention a very special kind of kid." I said while lowering

my voice.

Alexei just snorted while placing his hands inside his pockets.

I carried Sylvester on my arms, he wraps his arms around my neck and rests his head on my shoulder.

Oh god, this is going to be a long night.

Amy and I are peeking from backstage. A few meters from us, Aria is sitting on Dylan's lap, and they

look like they are getting along very well. I must say, Dylan has a way with kids. My kids are just

behaving very well, perhaps a little frightened because of Ivan, Vasily and Artan's men.

"Omg B!!!! Is that him? Are you kidding me right now? Artan is smoking hot!"

I just roll my eyes at Amy. Surprisingly, Artan is standing beside Nikolai to his left, while Alexei is on the

right. They are holding glasses of liquor in their hands. They seem to be talking and smirking from time

to time. Their men are surrounding them inconspicuously. Oh god I just hope it will be like this for the

rest of the night.

"So that's the man who's obsessed with you. Or shall I say, THOSE are the men obsessed with you."

Amy said referring to Nikolai, Alexei and Artan.

Amy's eyes are sparkling like she's seeing a pink unicorn.

"Wow, I am seeing three Mafia bosses at the same time. How cool is that?" Said Amy.

~

Artan: Ah, Volkov trying to cripple my business by cutting me off from the circulation. You are way too

over your head if you think you can destroy me just like that Volkov.

Nikolai: Consider yourself lucky Artan. If not for my wife.......

Artan: (Artan interrupts Nikolai and snorts) Your wife? I have reason to believe you have not tied her

down to you yet.

Nikolai's grip on his glass tightened.

Artan: (laughs) So I'm right. She's not your wife.

Nikolai: She's mine.

Artan raises his hands in front of him, mocking Nikolai.

Artan: Fucking her with your underboss? I must say I'm quite impressed. I should have known she's

into......that.

Alexei attempted to step towards Artan but Nikolai signaled him not to.

Nikolai: One more word about her and you're done.

Artan just smiles and drinks his scotch.

"They seem to be just talking like good ol friends B." Said Amy. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just hope they stay that way for the rest of the night A." I dont know why but I just have this very

unsettling feeling about what's really happening there.

"Alright everyone! The program is about to start!" Said one of the teachers. "Teacher Belle your class is

going to perform after Teacher Lilly's class."

I just nodded at her. I quickly went towards my kids. Amy took Aria from Dylan.

"B, you can do this."

"Thanks A, thanks Dy!"

I then hugged and kissed Aria on her cheek.

"I'll see you in a while my little angel. Can you cheer for me and your friends later?"

She just nods at me while placing her finger inside her mouth. I kissed her again before they left the

backstage. It's just me, my kids and I.V now in the corner waiting for our turn.

We are now huddled as I give my last instructions. Ivan and Vasily are just standing next to us.

"So, what will you do if you forgot the step?"

"Look at teacher and follow!" Said the ever energetic Justin.

"I want everybody to say it."

"Look at teacher and follow!" All I heard were grumblings from my kids, but that's good enough for me.

"Very good. And if you make mistakes or get nervous, what should you remember?"

"Teacher loves me no matter what!" Said my kids in unison.

"Yes, teacher loves you no matter what."

"And I have a surprise for everyone after our performance tonight."

They all gasped in awe. They then clasp their hands with glee.

"I want toys!"

"Yes toys!"

"Me too!"

"Okay okay... calm down. We will talk about the surprise later."

"Ms. Belle, your up!" Said the organizer.

Oh gosh this is it.
