Her Volkovs #Book 1

Chapter 30

Amy and I went to a football stadium where we can see the night sky in full view. Back home we would

often spend time in an open field just to escape and be in our own little world. We also brought a bottle

of wine with us. We removed our high heels and lie on the grass.

"I love you B." Amy said while holding my hand.

"I love you too A."

"New York hasn't been that nice to you..."

A chuckle escaped my mouth. "That's the understatement of the year."

"Why don't we go back home B? Let's live together. You and I. Let's make babies." We both giggled at

our silliness.

Our phones have been vibrating since we left Trevor and Dylan.

"Do we answer them A?"

"Nah, let them look for us until their balls sweat."

I laughed so hard on Amy's words. She covered my mouth and hushed me.

"Hush B, the guard might catch us."

"Then stop making me laugh." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"What's so funny with sweaty balls?" I let out another laugh. This time Amy did not hush me.

"Hey do you remember Calvin?"

I gave Amy a duh look. "How can I forget?"

"Well, I saw him at the hospital the other day. He's got a lot of bruises on his face. His nose is broken.

He also has a broken rib. He looks like he has been beaten pretty bad."

"Oh my god, really?"

"Yah, when I asked him what happened he told me to leave him alone. I think I know what happened to

him B."

"What?"

"He was threatened not to file charges against us." Amy said all too seriously.

I gasped in horror. "Threatened? But who would do such a thing?"

"I don't know."

After a few hours, Amy and I decided to go home. Amy called Trevor to pick us up. We are now waiting

for them in the sidewalk.

To our horror, two men appeared from the dark.

"Well well, what do we have here? How much for each pussy?" Said the one with a bulging stomach.

Amy and I held each other tight. Amy is trying to reach for the pepper spray from her purse but it's

taking forever.

"I bet they are for free. Come to daddy barbiedolls!" The one with a cap and a jacket spreads his arms

and slowly approached us.

All of a sudden, a car pulled over next to us. I felt so relieved because I thought Trevor and Dylan are

finally here but I froze when I saw four familiar looking men went out of the car. They all have guns in

their hands.

Oh god, these are the Russian men who took a picture of me from David's shop. They found me.

"Get in!"

Trevor and Dylan arrived just when we needed them the most. Amy and I quickly got in the car without

looking back.

"Hit the gas Trevor!" Amy exclaimed.

Amy and I are now catching our breaths. "Who are those people B?"

My hands are shaking. I could not believe what just happened. Oh my god. They found me. How did

they find me?

"B!!!" Amy is now holding my arms while shaking me.

"The Russian Mafia, they are after me." I stare in front of me blankly. I feel like my brain stopped

functioning.

"What?" Amy said almost shouting.

"Belle, it's not what you think it is." Dylan said, interrupting us.

"Uh in case you haven't noticed brother, this is not the right time to talk about your infidelity!" Amy

scolded Dylan.

"I'm not talking about...." Dylan lets out a frustrated sigh. "I'm talking about those men. They were

looking after you Belle. They are protecting you. They are Alexei's men." What? I feel like I'm being

choked. The lump in my throat is slowly suffocating me.

I am so confused right now. Alexei? But those men are from the Russian Mafia. Those are cold

blooded criminals. Why are they even connected to Alexei?

"Please pull over Trevor." I said blankly. I need answers from Dylan and I need them now.

"Trevor please?" Amy said, backing me up. Trevor pulled over while glancing at the rear view mirror.

"Get out of the car Dylan. I want to talk to you." He stepped out from the front passenger seat. I walked

around the back of the car to face Dylan who is now standing on the sidewalk. Amy stepped down from

her side of the car and faced her brother while her arms are intertwined in front of her.

Dylan's face is already kind of swollen from the fight but that did not stop me from landing a slap on his

face. Dammit my hand hurts.

"That's for betraying me." Dylan just accepted my slap like a gentleman that he is.

"Now talk Dy."

"Alexei and I settled our score. We found a common ground and that is to find and protect you. Alexei

never stopped looking for you. One night he called and said he already found you. That is how I was

able to get you at the motel." My heart is beating a thousand times while my brain is trying to process

everything. "Since then, they have been following and protecting you, all in Alexei's orders." At this

point my body crumbled down like a loose sandbag. I dropped to the the ground in disbelief. Everything

is slowly making sense now.

"But those men, those men are from the Russian Mafia, Dylan!"

"Talk to Alexei Belle. I can't answer your questions. I have to hold my end of the deal."

"Deal? What deal?" Amy butts in.

"We both take care of Belle but when this time comes, he will be the one to tell you what you need to

know. I'm sorry Belle."

This is what Nikolai and Alexei are not telling me about. Their tough security details, the tattoos, the

guns, his father and Yelena's death. All of these boils down to one fact. They are the Boss and the

Underboss of the Russian Mafia. My Nikolai and Alexei are criminals. They are monsters.

My tears are now falling down fave. Amy bent down and held me in a tight embrace. "Oh B, what have

you ever done to deserve this?" I am asking the same question to myself, A.

The ride back home has been quiet. I stare outside blankly while holding my arms in front of me. When

we arrived home, Amy and I went directly to our room. I rested my head on her lap, gazing blankly

while she runs her fingers through my hair

"B, I don't understand what's happening but I could not bear looking at you like this. Do you want me to

book a flight home? Let's leave this place for good."

"I still want to talk to Alexei. I want to hear what he has to say."

"Are you sure?"

I just nodded at her. I told Amy what I was thinking. I told her about who I think Nikolai and Alexei are.

"Oh my god B, what have you gotten yourself into? The Russian Mafia really? Your ex boyfriend is the

boss, the head, the leader, the king of the Russian Mafia? But I thought he owns Volkov holdings?"

"That's why I want to talk to Alexei. I want to know the whole truth once and for all."

"Oh my god. You know what I'm thinking B?"

"What?"

"Your ex boyfriend just became a million times hotter. Think about it B. Look at the brightside, you were

able to tap that ass." Amy is at it again. I swear this woman's brain is so perverted. I just shook my

head in disbelief. All of a sudden, I heard her gasp.

"Omg! B! Calvin. It was Alexei and his men who did it. Think about it. Dylan said Alexei has not stop

looking after you."

Oh god. Amy's right. It was Alexei. So it was really Alexei. The guy I saw at the police station talking to

Dylan. It was him.

"B, this Alexei guy. He really cares for you." Apparently he does.

Seconds later, Amy gasps again. Oh my god what now.

"Now what A?"

"Your guardian angel. Alexei is your guardian angel B! He's the one depositing money in your bank

account."

"But why would he do all of these? It doesn't even make sense. They lied to me. Nikolai dumped me.

Why would they bother do all of these."

"Well, two things. One, because your ex Nikolai told him to do so. Two and what I think is the most

probable, this Alexei is in love with you."

Amy's imagination is now reaching Andromeda galaxy. "A, I'm tired of thinking, let's sleep. I have work

tomorrow morning at St. Mary's and at my new job in the afternoon."

"Oh so you took the job?"

"Uhuh." I just grumble. Too much has happened already. My eyes are giving up on me. I slowly drifted

off to sleep on my bestfriend's lap.
