Her Volkovs #Book 2

Belle's POV

I can see from the dim light illuminating from the tiny candles on the tables that Nikolai's men are surrounding us while clutching their guns in their hands.

I am facing Nikolai. He wraps his arms around my shoulders, almost suffocating me. He is holding a gun in his right hand. Alexei is on my back, pushing me tight in between them. He's holding a gun in his right hand as well.

Artan is holding Aria in his arms while Dardan has guns in both of his hands. His men are surrounding them as well.

My heart is beating a million times. Oh god what is happening? I then remember my bestfriend.

"A." I said with a low voice. Alexei quickly covered my mouth tightly.

"B. I'm okay don't worry, I'm with Dylan." Said Amy. I felt relieved when I heard her voice.

A few seconds later all the lights went back on.

"Uh we apologize for the inconvenience. We just had a short power outage. We can resume with the auction now." Said the host.

Nikolai and Artan's men slung back their guns and everything around us went back to normal.

My future husband and Alexei's grip on me however remained the same.

I then licked Alexei's palm, it made him soft chuckle. He removes his hand from my mouth as they slowly loosen their grip on me.

To everybody's surprise, the painting is nowhere to be found, including Sylvester. The other teachers and Dr. Thomas are now scrambling to find the little guy.

After several minutes of looking for Sylvester they found him in his room at the boys dorm. Dr. Thomas apologized to everyone since they were not able to convince my little boy to give up his painting. I feel relieved all of a sudden, knowing that Dr. Thomas did not force Sylvester to auction off his painting although St. Mary's needed the donation.

I asked my future husband if he could donate generously instead. Of course, Nikolai said yes to me.

"Thank you Nikolai."

"Anything and everything for you baby." Nikolai muttered as he runs his fingers through my hair. We are now inside the car waiting Suddenly I received a text from Artan.

Aria wants to hear your voice. Can you talk to her before we leave?

I showed Nikolai Artan's text message.

"You do realize he's using Aria just to get you."

Alexei.

"Nikolai, Artan will never ever take me away from you. You are Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov. My first love. My first kiss. My very first......" I then took Nikolai's hand and places it on top of my femme. He just smiles at me understanding what I'm trying to say.

"You own my body, heart and soul. No one and nothing can take that away from you, from us." I held Nikolai's face as I talk to him.

Nikolai's beautiful green eyes are looking at me as if he's longing to say something.

"Do you still want to marry me?"

"Nothing has changed Nikolai. Oh wait, something has changed actually."

Nikolai's eyebrows suddenly crinkled.

"Alexei." I said.

"Fuck! I thought you're going to say you don't want to marry me. You almost gave me heart attack."

I just giggle at Nikolai as he punches his heart. I think he's not even kidding.

"Nikolai, it saddens me that until now you're thinking that I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Then marry me. Marry me now." Nikolai said while looking at me intently.

"Now? Like now?"

"Yes." Nikolai looked certain. Geez, it's almost midnight, is he being serious?

"But Nikolai, my parents.."

"Artan knows we're not yet married."

The moment Nikolai said that, I felt so disappointed in him. So he just wants to marry me now because he felt threatened by Artan?

I let go of Nikolai and remove myself from his lap. I then sat farthest from him.

"Next time, ask me to marry you for the right reason Nikolai and not just because you feel threatened by Artan."

"Me? Volkov, threatened by Artan?" Nikolai snorts as if I said the most ridiculous statement ever.

I then opened the car door and left Nikolai in the car. I went inside my own SUV where Ivan and Vasily are standing next to.

????????

"Where is she?"

"In her car."

"Why? What did you do now brother?"

"I asked her to marry me."

"Uh..brother, I think she already said yes to you."

"I asked her to marry me now."

"Now?"

"Yes, now! Fuck!"

"Okay okay... Please tell me you did not ask her to marry you now because of what the bastard Albanian said to you?"

Nikolai doesnt answer.

"Well shit, you just did, did you?"

Alexei sighs in frustration.

?????????

While inside the car I called Artan to talk to Aria. After just a few rings he answered.

"Artan."

"Baby... you were amazing tonight." Said Artan all too gently. How many times do I have to tell this man not to call me baby.

"Are you and Aria still inside?"

"No, were on our way home, do you want us to go back?"

"No, can I just talk to her to say goodnight?"

"Of course...your on speaker phone, go ahead baby."

"Hi my little Angel, I'm sorry I wasnt able to spend more time with you tonight. Always be a good girl to daddy okay?"

"She's nodding." Said Artan.

"Do you want me to sing a lullaby for you?"

"Yes." Said Artan.

"I'm talking to the little girl, Artan."

I just heard him soft chuckle.

I hummed Beauty and the Beast over the phone. After humming the song I cant hear anything from the other side of the line.

"Hello?"

"She's asleep now baby."

"How long has she been asleep?"

"Not long ago."

"Oh...okay. Take care of her."

"Can you stay on the line for few more?"

"Artan, I have to go. Goodnight."

After several seconds, I received a text from Artan.

Thank you. You will be a perfect mum to her.

I hit reply.

Artan please stop.

Several moments later, my phone vibrates and its Artan again. My gosh, this man is unbelievably persistent.

I did not answer him.

All of a sudden, I feel like my heart jumped from my chest when Nikolai abruptly opened the car door. He looks at me intently. I think he was about to say something to me but when he noticed my phone light and vibrate, he instantly grabs it from me and looks at the screen.

At this point Nikolai looks like he could kill anyone who gets in his way.

I gasped in horror when he smashed my phone on the pavement it scattered into pieces.

He then grabs my hand pulling me out of the car recklessly. His grip on my left arm is very tight, I know Im gonna bruise.

"Nikolai, youre hurting me."

Nikolai doesnt look like he's listening to me at all. He just continues dragging me towards the other car.

"Get in!" Said Nikolai. His eyes are full of rage.

I just stood still and look down. I dont want to see Nikolai like this.

"I said get in, Belle!"

I'm trying to remove my arm from Nikolai's tight grip.

"Youre hurting me Nikolai!"

"And so? I know your enjoying the pain. Are you turned on right now baby? Do you want me to fuck you now?" Said Nikolai while pinning me against the black SUV and running his hand on my thigh.

At this point Nikolai's rage of jealousy has turned him into someone I do not know. Someone who can actually hurt me.

I just remained in my position and stood in silence. Nikolai's grip on me loosened so I slowly stepped inside the car and sat beside Alexei.

The ride on our way home was painful. I feel disgusted by Nikolai and myself. Perhaps Nikolai was right, I deserve this because I enjoyed the pain they both inflict on me.

I just held my arms. I feel so cold and alone even if the two most important persons in my life are sitting next to me.

When the car pulled over, I waited for Alexei to alight and followed. I quickly paced inside the house and entered Nikolai's room.

I showered fast and wrap a towel around my body. Nikolai and Alexei are already stripping their clothes off when I got out of the shower. Nobody said a word at any point in time. I slowly applied lotion from my legs up my thighs. I continued running my hand through my arms up to my neck. I then sprayed perfume on my neck and wrists. I wore my panties and removed the towel from my body. I quickly slip on my white sheer sleep clothes.

I then took Nikolai and Alexei's belts from their trousers and threw it on them. Nikolai is sitting on the couch near the windows while Alexei is on the bed, resting his back on piled pillows.

"Hit me Nikolai, Alexei. Lets get this done and over with. Im tired. I want to sleep. Perhaps youre right. I enjoy the pain. At least when the two of you get off tonight, I can have my own pleasure as well." They did not even touch the belts in front of them. Nikolai and Alexei are just looking at me intently.

"What are you wating for Nikolai? Hit me!" I forced the belt to his hand.

"Okay. You dont want to use the belt? Use your hand instead. Do you want to drag me again Nikolai? Here drag me!" I'm forcing Nikolai's hand to hold my arm.

"Why arent you doing anything Nikolai, huh! Hit me! Drag me so I get turned on." I'm hitting Nikolai's chest with both of my hands. Nikolai just allows me to hit him.

"Oh, I know." I quickly went towards Alexei's direction and took off my sleep gown.

"Fuck me Alexei." I spread my legs on top of Alexei and plants kisses on his neck down to his chest. "Are you feeling aroused yet Nikolai baby?" I forced Alexei's hand on my breast but he just looks at me. I smack Alexei as hard as I can on his chest but he doesnt even stop me.

At this point my tears are starting to fall. I'm exhausted. I am overwhelmed. I am hurt.

I sob on top of Alexei.

"I'm sorry princess."

"I'm tired. I cant do this anymore." I said as a matter of factly.

Alexei wraps the blanket to cover my naked body. I took it off and put on my sleep gown instead. I then went down the bed and exited Nikolai's room.¶¶¶¶
