Her Volkovs #Book 4

Chapter 29

Ivan and Vasily's POV

(Speaking in Russian)

Ivan: Fuck. This is going to be one hell of a first day.

(He looks at Belle who just took off her shirt revealing her black string bathing suit. The water from the

small fountain showers surrounding the pool is now cascading down her face and body. Her skin

glistens as the soft ray of sunshine embraces her naked curves.)

Vasily: (looks at Belle in silence)

Ivan: I don't want to fuck with the Boss again bro. Just look away.

Vasily: Our job is to look after her. How is 'not looking at her' even possible?

Ivan: Well, just look. Don't touch. Do not ever touch like what you did last time, you hear me? Even if Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

she touches you first, do not engage bro. I'm going to fucking kill you myself, I swear to my momma's

grave.

Belle's POV

The ob-gyn came to our house for my pre-natal check-up. She told me what Alexei has been telling me

on our way back to New York. Refrain from eating junk food. I can move around but not stressful

physical activities to avoid fatigue. And so I am left in the house while my husbands are facing the

consequences of my actions. Amy told me that there had been several casualties from the German

Mob but the Conglomerate was quick to clean up the mess as nothing happened. This must be the

reason why Nikolai said that Axel De Alba is in New York. It could be about making sure that the mob

war does not spill over and involve the authorities. Everyone in the Russian Mafia is on high alert

including our international connections, particularly in Russia where Andrey, Yuri's brother is taking

charge. Kovrov, the Russian town here in New York is preparing for retaliation from the German Mob.

Oh my goodness what have I actually done?

Ivan and Vasily's family members are all in Kovrov and yet they are here, protecting the very reason

why their families are in danger. I put my shirt back on and approached the two. I have noticed that

since coming back here, these two have never been the same. I feel like they are avoiding having any

conversation with me. They are both wearing leather jackets and their usual jeans and a white tee.

I pulled a chair right in the middle and signaled them to come in front of me. I stepped on the chair so I

can reach their shoulders and wrapped my arms around their necks to hug the two. "I miss you I.V.

Where have you been?"

They just stood like a statue and did not answer me, but I continued anyway. I actually miss them both.

And I feel so guilty for putting their families in harm's way because of my fight with Victoria. "I am so

sorry I.V. I'm sorry for putting your families at Kovrov in danger."

They stood silently as they try not to look me in the eye. I just gave them a kiss on their cheeks one by

one and just let them go.

The weather has suddenly become gloomy so I decided to go back inside the mansion and wait for my

husbands to come home. There's this unsettling feeling lingering in my heart so I called them asking

them to come home. They are now on their way back and so I made sure that dinner is ready. As per

usual the chef from Dilé who is now our full-time chef in the mansion did his wonders.

"Hi." Said a female voice. "Madame Volkov, my name is- "

"Tatyana, I know." I interrupted her. Of course, I know who she is. She's Yuri's apparent fiancé' and the

Tatyana who once called Alexei daddy over the phone when my husband and I broke up. I figured this

one out after some inquires with the people in the mansion.

"Yes. I am so sorry I have not introduced myself the first time. I was---" This time her Russian accent

became very obvious.

"You were busy making out with Yuri in front of all of us." I interrupted her once again. If not for Yuri, I

would not have agreed for her to be here in the first place. She's from Zora and god knows how many

times this woman has bed Nikolai and Alexei or perhaps all the men here in the mansion. I mean, heck

she had my husband's number for goodness sakes!

To my utter surprise, she sat down right across me, taking over Alexei's seat at the dinner table. She

looks at me with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry Madame Volkov but whether you like it or not, Yuri and I

are getting married. We have the Boss' blessing."

Oh my goodness. Can you believe this woman?

"Tatyana lest you are forgetting that you are in MY house and you are sitting on MY husband's seat?"

She stood up from the seat whilst looking me straight in the eye. It's a good thing that the men of the

mansion have already arrived. She went from being all feisty to a sweet innocent girl all of a sudden

and ran towards Yuri. She jumped on Yuri and wrapped her legs around him like a tarantula. I can't

help but roll my eyes. Ugh. I want to vomit.

But whatever, if Yuri is happy with her I will not be the one to stop them. I am all for Yuri's happiness.

"Hey, wifey." Says Alexei. He envelopes me with his arms tightly then kisses me on my lips. The

warmth from his embrace and his kiss make me feel like I am floating in the air.

"How's your day Alexei? Where's your brother?"

"He's on his way home. He had separate engagement today." He replied whilst raining kisses on my

face.

"How about Ratiana's kisses? I think she misses her daddy Alexei." I said whispering teasingly.

"Princess."

"Uh huh. I did my research. Don't even try to deny it." I retorted.

Alexei called Yuri's attention and spoke Russian to him. Yuri just nods and exited the dining hall along

with Tatyana and the other boys who are with them when they arrived.

Alexei then pulled my chair for me to sit and placed my napkin on my lap just like a gentlemen that he

is. He then went to his seat and called on the servers to serve our dinner.

"Having dinner without me? I am hurt." It's Nikolai along with Boris and Dimitri and the other men.

Nikolai just signaled something to all of them and then they are gone.

He then sat on his throne as the king that he is, unbuttoned his jacket, and tilted his head to the side

like inspecting my whole body.

"What was that about?" I asked all puzzled. He then took my hand, smells and kisses it like a maniac.

"The light tan looks good on you and you smell like -----." He halted for a second as if thinking and then

continued, "-----home. My home."

My face heats up as I did not know how to react to this man's sweetness. How could this man be the

feared leader of the Russian Mafia, a violent criminal organization, and be this soft and sweet towards

his wife? I took his hand and held it with both my palms, kissed his huge dark green Volkov ring and his

wedding band.

The servers are already placing our food on the table and so we started to eat in peace, just the three

of us surrounded by candles and the sparkling chandelier on top.

"Nikolai, is it true that you already gave Yuri and Tatyana your blessing to marry?" I asked just to

confirm what she said to me a while ago.

"Yes, I did. Yuri mentioned it to you?" He answered while slicing his food.

"No, Tatyana did." I replied.

"You've been talking?" Alexei inserted.

"Not really. Have they set their wedding day?"

"Baby, do not concern yourself with their wedding. Yuri would be expelled from the Mafia before that

happens anyway." Nikolai answered.

Yuri will be expelled from the Mafia? I recall Nikolai telling me about their gentleman's agreement.

Could this be it? Yuri can actually get married but the consequence is that he gets expelled? But the

Mafia is Yuri's life. How could he be made to choose between love and the Mafia?

"Yuri is part of our family Nikolai. Is there a way that he doesn't get expelled whilst being married at the

same time?" I asked and I wasn't able to hide my frustration with Yuri's current situation.

"In the mafia, we abide by the rules. If we break our own rules, it will send a wrong message to our

people and the whole organization." Alexei answered and then wipes his mouth with the napkin.

I completely understand Alexei's insistence in following the rules. The Russian Mafia is where it is now

because of Nikolai and Alexei's effective control and leadership of the Mafia. I am not about to question

that.

----

I decided to talk to Yuri about what has been bothering me after my and my husband's conversation. I

just want to hear it from him. I messaged Yuri that I'm waiting for him in the garden so we can talk

privately. The other boys, Nikolai and Alexei are now inside the mansion having a few drinks.

I'm brushing my arms with my palms as I did not realize that it's going to be this chilly tonight. Not for

long though, a warm jacket is slowly being wrapped around my shoulders. It's Yuri making sure that I

am warm enough and well. He sat beside me and just remained silent.

"Are you getting married to Tatyana?" I asked.

Silence.

"How long have you been in a relationship with her?"

Silence.

"If you and she have been in a relationship long enough, why did you even risk your life telling me that

you love me? It just doesn't make sense Yuri."

"I am leaving the mansion, tomorrow Madame." He finally answered but it was the answer that I did not

want to hear. I feel like my heart has been stabbed. I can't believe that this actually hurts.
