Belle's POV

I want to die.

I wish that the ground will just swallow me at this very moment to save me from this embarassment.

Why is he looking at me like that? What is up with him? And the band. God this band! It's like Matushka paid them to be on cue or something.

"Are you okay? Do you want to go home? We can leave anytime you want, just say the word." Artan whispered while squeezing my hand on top of my thigh.

"I'm fine Artan, how about you? How are you feeling? Your wound, does it still hurt?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm..."

Artan attempted to hold my chin when suddenly.

Bammmmm!

Nikolai slammed his glass on the table, everything on top shook and vibrated. Everyone, except for Matushka and Alexei looked at Nikolai in complete surprise.

Alexei drank everything from his glass all the way down, while sporting the exact facial expression as Nikolai. Matushka's lips are pulled to the side slightly, looking like she expected Nikolai's reaction.

"I need a drink!" My bestfriend raised her hand to catch the attention of the server. She was handed a glass of champagne and she drunk it immediately without a single drop left.

"One more! Yes!" She asked for another glass and drank it again all the way down. I reached for my bestfriend's hand to calm her nerves down. I know that her anxiety is in its hyper mode considering that we are surrounded by mobsters and mafia men. And of course, considering what Nikolai just did.

Matushka smiled and widened her eyes in amusement to my bestfriend. "Amylinda Lee am I right?"

"Yes. Yours truly, Matushka. I mean Madame Irene, I mean...."

"Haha! You are such a charming doll my dear."

"Hehe...uh...thanks?"

Matushka smiled and raised her glass for a toast.

"Cheers to the coming bundle of joy!" She glanced at me, offered the sweetest smile and continued, "May the rightful druglord bring the mother home tonight!"
