Her Volkovs #Book 2 novel Chapter 5

Belle's POV

Nikolai and Artan are facing off. They are looking at each other intently in a boastful staredown. Alexei is holding two guns in both of his hands while pointing them to Artan's head. Dardan is pointing a gun at Nikolai. Yuri, and Alexei's two other men are pointing their guns at Artan's men while having guns pointed at them as well. It is clear that Nikolai and his men are outnumbered but my future husband doesn't seem to be backing down.

I was about to walk in their direction when all of a sudden, I saw Lena pacing towards me.

"Where do you think you're going?" Said Lena all too bitchy.

I swear I have had enough with this woman. My Nikolai and Alexei are about to engage in a gunfight and I know that I am the only one who can stop the madness of Artan. I won't let this woman get in my way. I quickly took the gun Matushka gave me from the lace garter on my thigh and pointed it towards Lena.

"Make one more step and I'm not gonna hesitate to pull the trigger." Oh my god. I can't believe I'm really doing this.

Lena was taken aback at first but came back to her bitchy self instantly.

"Oh sweety do you even know how to use that?" Said Lena mocking me.

"Do you want me to try it to you then?" I said as a matter of factly. At this point I feel like I can actually shoot her. Oh god so this is how it feels like to protect the love of your life. I am indeed willing to shoot this minx on the face.

"Aww. Aren't you a little bitch!" Said Lena and it's obvious that I have already got into her nerves.

"Oh you have not seen half of this bitch yet. Watch me." I feel like adrenaline is pumping in my system. I just could not contain myself. There's this certain rush inside me I could not understand.

"Artan....have this minx dragged out of this room at once." I am a terrible person for using my influence over Artan but at this point this is the only way I can think of to get rid of Lena without shooting her.

Lena snorted and lets out a laugh. "Do you really think my Boss will listen to you?" This woman doesn't have a clue on what her Boss is capable of doing just to please me.

"Artan...." I said calmly while my eyes are still glued to Lena.

"Take her out." Said Artan ordering his men. The look of shock on Lena's face is indescribable. Yes, that's right bitch your boss just did that for me.

Two of Artan's men dragged Lena out of the room.

"Let go of me!" Said Lena as she tried to whisk away the men. The door was then locked by one of the men after throwing Lena out.

I then approached Nikolai's direction. I quickly squeezed myself in the middle of Artan and Nikolai.

Nikolai then grabbed my arm towards him.

"Look at you Artan, taking orders from my wife." Said Nikolai arrogantly.

Artan slowly lets out a smirk.

"I can never deny the orders of your wife's soft lips Volkov. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about."

Nikolai then fisted his hand and attempted to step forward, the people around us held their guns even tighter.

"No Nikolai." I placed my hands on his chest. "Please look at me. Look at me baby..."

Nikolai then slowly looks down to look me in the eyes. To my surprise, Artan grabs my arm towards him. I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. Nikolai then grabs me back to him. They are both looking at each other while yanking me.

"Stop!" I said as sternly as I can. "Artan, Nikolai order your men to put their guns down and leave the room now."

"Please! Artan, Nikolai baby.." I look at them one by one.

They still continue with their staredown. A few seconds passed, Artan and Nikolai gestured to their men. The men surrounding us obliged, but at the same time, they were observing carefully each other's moves.

Alexei did not put his guns down so I stepped close to him.

"Alexei, please?" I placed my hand on his arm. Alexei then slowly places his arms to his side.

"Everybody out now." I stated. The men inside the room then walks out.

Only Artan, me and Nikolai are left in the room.

"Artan, even if it breaks my heart, I will not see Aria ever again if you continue with this. I wont be comfortable being with her if I know for a fact that her father is..." I'm trying to find the right word.

"Obsessed with you." Said Nikolai.

"Nikolai please just shush..."

There's this long awkward pause the moment I said that.

To my surprise, both of them let out a soft chuckle. It's unbelievable how they manage to still chuckle after what just happened.

"You have been hushed Volkov." Said Artan, the look of amusement is seen all over his face.

"She does that to me every fucking day." Said Nikolai. What the hell is happening right now? Just a second ago they were about to shoot each other to death.

"I can live with that." Said Artan.
