Her Volkovs #Book 3

Chapter 6

Artan in his office together with his other men, Dardan, Besian and Adnan. They are drinking scotch

while Artan tends to his manhood.

DARDAN: (Clears his throat to get the attention of Artan) Boss, more ice? (Shows a straight face, can't

help but pull his lips to the side, all amused.)

ARTAN: (Looks at Dardan sternly.) Wipe that smile off of your face Dardan. Do you think this is funny?

DARDAN: Not at all Boss. Ms. Belle was a little frail last night. I'm sure she did not hit the ....uh....main

artery.

Artan's men was not able to hold the amusement and snorted in unison.

ARTAN: Get the fuck out before I shoot all of you in your fucking heads! (Moves uncomfortably in his

chair while holding the ice pack on top of his crotch.)

His other men went out of the room except for Dardan, Besian and Adnan.

BESIAN: I can't believe your patience is finally paying off. You slept with Volkov's girl last night? My

man! ( Bumps glass of liquor with Artan)

ADNAN: The Russians are not gonna take this one lightly the moment they know about this. You are

poking the motherfucking wolves, brother! We havent even recovered from the last blow.

BESIAN: (Reached for Adnan's shoulder) Relax brother, the Boss got this. Am I right Boss?

ARTAN: The deal with the Escobar Cartel will push forward. I just have to seal it first before Volkov

pulls some strings and derail our business again. The Escobars have a long history of bad blood with

the old man Vyacheslav and I will capitalize on that to get back what has been taken from me.

BESIAN: And before they know it, we are back in the drug world with a fucking vengeance. Ahhh, I

can't wait to see Volkov and Alexei's faces when they see you with the Escobar Cartel in your hands

and his wife Bella on your lap.

ARTAN: (Artan saw black the moment Besian mentioned Belle in the conversation. He points at him

while holding a glass of scotch in his hand.) Watch your fucking mouth! You do not disrespect her in

front of me. Her name is Belle and she is not part of the deal.

BESIAN: (Adnan looks at Besian with a you fucking deserve it look. Besian cocked his head to the side

realizing that he should not have opened his mouth regarding his Boss' girl.) Okay Boss, my bad.

DARDAN: (Taps his phone after talking to someone from outside.) Boss, Ms. Belle is here.

Besian and Adnan looked at Artan who is obviously surprised to hear that Belle came for him.

Belle's POV

I don't know exactly what I'm doing here but I understand that Artan deserves an apology from me. I

really did not mean to do that to him last night. My cousin Devon once told me that the best self

defense I can do especially when a man is attacking me is the ninja kick. Which is basically a kick on a

man's crotch as hard as I can. He said that it's the most painful thing that a girl can do to a man, aside

of course from breaking his heart. It's like the equivalent of giving birth or something.

I swear to the heavens, I did not intend to kick him on his man parts. I was just trying to get away from

him. I did not even realize what I did until this morning. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Ms. Belle, come in please."

Dardan is sporting a naughty smile while leading me inside Artan's office at Bogdani Cargo. Well that's

a first. The Dardan I know is always serious and business like.

"Thank you." I said in response.

When I entered, I saw Artan and two other men drinking and talking. How many times do I have to tell

this man to stop drinking for the sake of his daughter?

The two other men instantly gazed at my direction the moment they noticed me. They both look like

Nikolai and Alexei's age. They are all wearing suits and as per usual exude the mobster frightening

presence, just like Artan's.

I quickly zoned out from the two because I suddenly felt like I was being stared at from head to foot. I

looked straight at Artan who has a piece of cloth covering his whole thigh and legs and I'm assuming

that the bulging thing in his manhood is an ice pack. I bit my lower lip in an attempt to suppress a

giggle. I am a bad person.

"Put that down Artan." I said sternly as he attempts to drink again. His lips slowly pulled to the side as

he looks at the glass as if deciding to drink it or do what I said. "Artan."

"Okay baby." He said while putting the glass down.

"I'm here to...uh...well what I'm about to tell you needs privacy."

"It's okay, you can tell me anything in front of them. That's Adnan and Besian."

I smiled at them faintly. If only A is here, she would have enjoyed her eyes looking at these two. Adnan

has blonde brownish hair while Besian is the brunette one. They remind me of my Ivan and Vasily. I

actually miss those two. I haven't seen them from the time we got back from Palawi.

"Hi Ms. Belle, my name is Adnan."

He shook my hand and then placed his hands inside his pockets. Besian reached for my hand as well

but this one leaned forward to kiss the back of my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Belle."

I smiled at them faintly and focused my attention back to Artan.

"What is it that you want to tell me that needs privacy baby?"

Ugh! And how many times do I have to tell this man not to call me baby?

"I came here to apologize for kicking your..." I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued. "Your...

uhmm." Gosh! I never thought it's this hard to say a man's body part. I bit my lower lip as I gather

courage to say it out loud. "Your flag pole."

The moment I said the last words. Besian and Adnan instantly blew the liquor from their mouths in

unison. The alcohol scattered all over their suits which they immediately wipe off with their hands.

"Shit.." Said Adnan.

"Fuck." Said Besian.

Dardan is now looking down the floor as he tries to hide a smile from his face.

I looked at Artan sternly. I told him that I needed privacy but he did not listen! Now I'm in this super

embarrassing situation. Goddammit! Really Belle? Of all the words to describe his penis. FLAG POLE?

A freaking FLAG POLE?

At this point, I can already feel my face heat up. I know that I'm already bloody murder red.

Artan's lips are now permanently pulled to the side. I quickly turn my back to save myself from further

humiliation.

To my horror. Artan stood up, pulled me towards him and grabbed me by my neck just below my left

ear. Before I know it, his lips landed on mine for an unexpected kiss.

Belle's POV

I removed my lips from his, "Let go of me Artan." I said, as I try to push him. I actually hate myself for

even feeling comfortable in his arms. He makes me feel like no one can ever hurt me when I'm with

him and I hate every moment of it.

This man was the one who sent those pictures to Nikolai. The very reason why Nikolai was drowned in

jealousy half the time that we were together. Those pictures convinced him that Artan and I are having

an affair.

"I will never do that." He said while holding me around my back tightly and placing his palm on the back

of my ear.

"Let go of me Artan! I don't want to see you ever again!"

"We need you. Aria and I need you baby. Please don't do this."

I wipe the tears that are slowly forming in my eyes. My pregnant hormones are not helping my cause at

this time.

Artan took a white handkerchief from his pocket and wipes it on my eyes and face gently.

"Don't cry my Belle. Okay, I promise not to come near you nor bother you. I will just be around. Ill be

looking after you from afar. Ill be there whenever you need me baby."

His grip slightly loosens so I took the chance and quickly turn my back on him. I went out of his office

and immediately saw Amy and Dylan outside the door.

They all looked at me including Artan's other men the moment I went out of the door. I went past them

and went straight to the elevator.

"B. What happened?" Amy asked while she and Dylan are following me.

"Do you still want to go on a vacation?" I said as I punch the button for the ground floor.

"Sure, but why so sudden?"

"I need to think."

"Think of what? What happened inside with Artan?"

"I hate him."

"Uhm..Okay...but that doesn't answer my question."

I remained silent and tried to ignore her question by tapping my phone aimlessly.

"B, what happ...."

"Enough! I'm so tired of you prying into my life A! You are making decisions for me without even

thinking of the consequences! For once A, let me be!"

Amy looked surprised of my sudden outburst. I squeezed my palm as I struggle to hold back my anger.

Dylan just remains silent and did not dare butt in.

Amy gazed away from me and looked straight ahead while the elevator descends. We remained

indifferent to each other on the way home inside Dylan's car. Amy sat at the front passenger seat while

I sat at the back.

"Hey, what do you want for dinner Ames? How about you Belle?" Said Dylan as he attempts to break

the ice.

I just looked outside and did not bother answer Dylan.

"That's right brother, ask her so that you won't get accused of making decisions for her and prying into

her life. I mean, she can clearly decide for herself. Look at her, she's pregnant and the father of the

baby is a cheat. She clearly decided for herself successfully."

Amy's words hit me straight to the gut. I placed my palms on top of my thigh and fisted my hands as I

struggle to hold back my tears. Sadly, the people you love the most are the people who can hurt you

the most. Nikolai, Alexei, and now Amy have proven that to be true.

I looked outside and blinked a couple of times to prevent myself from crying again. I did not justify my

bestfriend's words with an answer. I chose to shut my mouth.

I caught Dylan's eyes from the rear view mirror but I instantly looked away. Pitty is the last thing that I

need right now.

When we arrived home, Amy went straight to her room and did not say a single word again. I stayed at

Dylan's room and lie on his bed as he takes a shower and prepare to go back to work for Artan.

Moments later, he went out of the shower with only a towel on. His perfectly ripped body showed as he

puts on his shirt. He went inside his closet and when he got out, he is already sporting his usual bad

boy look.

"Belle, are you sure you're okay? You know Ames did not mean what she said."

I forced a smile to assure Dylan that everything is alright. Truth be told, everything is not alright.

Everything is a mess.

He sat beside me in bed and leaned forward to kiss me on my forehead. "You need to rest. Call me

anytime you wish okay?"

"Okay Dy." I forced another smile while reaching for his arm. He smiled back at me and then planted a

kiss on my left cheek before he left.

I took a shower and wore Dylan's grey tee and pants. Amy's clothes will not fit me so I don't really have

that much choice. Nikolai and Alexei did not deliver my stuffs until now. They can throw it all away, for

all I care. I just wish that they take care of Goatie. I can just imagine what Nikolai is doing to that poor

little thing.

Few minutes past, I made sure that Dylan has left before going inside my bestfriend's room. She's on

her side and I think she fell asleep. My poor bestfriend must be really tired. She's practically doing all

the work just to make sure that I am doing fine but I have become an ungrateful bitch.

I sat beside her, leaned forward and kissed her on her forehead, then her nose and lastly on her lips.

"I'm sorry A. You are an overprotective psycho, and I love you exactly the way you are." I whispered.

~

A's POV

"Gone? What do you mean gone?" Asked my brother.

"She left! She's not in your room or anywhere in the house."

"Did you try calling her?"

"She left her phone in your bedroom brother."

"Maybe she just went for a walk."

"No. I don't think so. Just look for her please!"

I should have known that she will do this. She thought I was asleep but I wasnt. I almost choked to

death while I'm holding back my tears. I have overstepped the line when I said that to her, but she was

still the first one to come to me and apologize.

It broke my heart while she was kissing me and telling me that she loves me. I am her bestfriend, and

of all the people in this world, I should be the one who understands and have longer patience with her.

God! I shouldn't have snapped on her when she snapped on me. She's pregnant for goodness sakes!

How come I only realize this now? Ughhh!

"Ames, what are you doing?"

"Slamming my head on the wall because I deserve this."

"Okay, listen to me. Do you think that hitting your head to the wall will help find her?"

"No, but it would make me feel better."

"No, it will make you feel pain later. You have to be a hundred percent if you want to find her."

"Then lets find her now! I'm going to call the police."

"Ames, the police will not help you. You have to wait for 24 hours."

"What kind of a stupid rule is that?" I took a deep breath and sigh in frustration. "Fine! I am going to let

Artan, Nikolai and Alexei know."

"Amylinda, do you want me to repeat what Belle said yesterday?"

"I am her bestfriend! It's my job to pry and meddle into her life especially now that she needs me....You

know what Dylan? Never mind! Help me, don't help me, I don't care! I'm going to find her on my own!"

I tapped my phone to end the call because I have already ran out of patience. My brother thinks that B

just simply went out for a walk or something, but my intuition is telling me otherwise. She needs me and

I'm going to find her.
