Her Volkovs #Book 4

Belle's POV

Sebastian the delivery guy is none other than Axel De Alba, the head of the Cabana Cartel. He looked in my direction a couple of times but I just hiss at him. I actually don't like his guts anymore.

I don't get why he had to pretend to be someone else when he could have just introduced himself that time. I mean, how hard is it for a boss to be a normal human being for once?

"You've met De Alba?" Nikolai asked, clenching his jaw while looking in Axel's direction. And I can see that the Cartel Boss is enjoying every bit of reaction he's getting from Nikolai. If looking at someone could kill, Axel would have been dead minutes ago.

I placed my palm on top of Nikolai's hand and squeezed it gently to get his attention. He's holding the gold wolf head of the cane tightly, the veins in his hand are already showing.

I told Nikolai how Axel and I met and it looks like it pissed him off even more. This is not a time for a jealous Nikolai. We are in a business gathering and he should be focused on business and not some petty jealousy.

"What's that fucker's problem?" Alexei said with furrowed eyebrows, as he sits beside me while holding a glass of liquor.

And this is definitely not a good time for a jealous Alexei. Two jealous Volkovs is not a good combination. It's a friggin recipe for disaster.

"Apparently, they've met." Nikolai responded to Alexei.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I feel like I did something wrong although I don't see why this is supposed to be my fault.

"I did not intend to keep this from the two of you. I did not even know that the man who delivered food to me was--him." I answered and I'm so close to getting annoyed, mad even! "You two are making it sound like I enjoy being in this position. I don't!"

back of his hand. In my mind, I'm already screaming my response to his question. The position of being accused of being a whore! Oh wait-- let me be exact. The Russian Boss' whore. The Albanian Boss' whore.
