Her Volkovs #Book 2

Belle's POV

I went down to the kitchen to fetch water. I wipe my tears off of my face as I approach the fridge. I then poured water into a glass and slowly drink it. I feel like my knees are crumbling down so I held on tight on the center island. My tears are starting to fall again. I can't understand what's happening between me and Nikolai. Everything was fine until Artan came into the picture.

"Madame are you alright?"

It's Vasily. He entered the kitchen. He looks like he just went for a run.

I instantly wipe the tears off of my face.

"Madame..." He said while standing a few feet away from me.

"I'm fine Vasily." At this point my tears are starting to run down my face again. I don't know why but there's a flow of emotion pouring in me right now. I can't help but just cry.

Vasily inched close to me and wraps his arms around me. I dropped on his chest and instantly sob.

Vasily did not say a single word.

After several seconds Ivan came barging in the kitchen half-naked and all sweaty.

He was halted when he saw Vasily and I.

I quickly wipe the tears off of my face, remove myself from Vasily's arms and exited the kitchen.

IVAN AND VASILY IN THEIR ROOM

Ivan: You're playing with fire bro! What if the Boss saw you with Madamme? Do you think you're still gonna be alive by tomorrow?"

Vasily: Madamme... she's...

Ivan: Fuck!!!! Whatever it is that you're thinking or feeling about Madamme, you better stop it! She's off-limits brother. We, of all people should know that!

Vasily: I fucking know!

Ivan: Good! Because it's not only your ass that's going to end if the Boss ever finds out about this. Our families brother, our Pa's and your Ma. Even if our fathers are elders of our organization, you know the Boss will not think twice to burn us all down if he finds out your screwing him over! You said it yourself. The boss is the single most brutal motherfucker you have known, it's not worth it bro!

I decided to sleep in Alexei's room and lock myself inside. Several minutes later I see the door knob being forced open. The door was then slowly opened with a key. Alexei went inside and snuggled me directly.

"Princess, don't give up on him. Dont give up on us."

"I can't understand Nikolai, Alexei." I said while burying my face on Alexei's neck.

"My brother doesn't understand himself as well."

I looked at Alexei waiting for him to explain what he said.

"This is Nikolai's first relationship. He is new to all of these and it's driving him nuts."

I did not say a word to Alexei. I just wrap my arm around him and close my eyes. I am too tired to think right now.

"You're the only person in this world that he can't live without. He won't be able to survive without you. He will lose himself if he loses you."

I don't know why but despite what has happened tonight, I still believe in every word that Alexei said.

I can feel my thoughts are slowly drifting off. I am lulled to sleep in Alexei's warm embrace.

??????

I was awakened by small kisses all over my face. When I flickered my eyes, I see Alexei, half naked. He cups my breast with his right hand. I run my hand on my back hoping that Nikolai is by my side but he's not.
