Her Volkovs #Book 1 novel Chapter 38

Belle's POV

"These are Ivan and Vasily. They will be your security detail starting today Madamme." Yuri said, introducing me to two men in black suit. One is brunette and the other has a copper blonde hair. They look like like my age but they already sport a frightening presence.

How come Nikolai did not tell me about this? I quickly went back inside the house. I found Nikolai and Alexei in the living room.

"Nikolai, about my security detail which you conveniently forgot to consult me about....."

"You will have a security detail, end of." Said Nikolai, interrupting me. My lips parted in disbelief.

"If you don't like the men I assigned to you, you can take Boris instead." Is he kidding me? Boris is like a statue, he's as stiff as a dead owl and not to mention how he trampled down those women from the beach.

I let out a frustrated sigh and exited the house. Arguing with Nikolai when he seems to have already made up his mind is hopeless. I reluctantly went back outside and went inside the SUV.

Just a while ago, Nikolai was the sweetest ever and then the next second, he's like ten times my father.

Ivan is in the front passenger seat while Vasily is the designated driver. Ivan's phone vibrated, he took it from his chest pocket and talked for several seconds before handing the phone to me.

"Madamme."

"If that's Nikolai tell him I'm not talking to him. End of." I said, emphasizing the last words. Ivan placed the phone back to his ears. Seconds later, he handed the phone to me again.

"Madamme please." The man is now pleading to me. Poor Ivan, I can just imagine what Nikolai said to him.

One thing I know about Nikolai is that, he is a tough and ruthless Boss. His words are the law of the Russian Mafia and what he says or commands, he will absolutely get. I still don't want to talk to him but I don't have a choice because Ivan became his leverage, which makes the playing field between Nikolai and I, uneven.

I gave in and took the phone from Ivan.

"Do I need to buy you a new phone baby?" Baby your face Nikolai! Uh!

"I just left my phone at Dylan's, I'm going to get it later."

"No your not going to see that guy."

"Yes I will, Nikolai. I have to see my bestfriend who's mad at me right now because I chose you over her. So yes, I am going to Dylan's house later." I swear I'm starting to lose my patience with this man.

"What pleasure do you get from saying no to me? I'm starting to think you purposely say no to me so that I would want you even more."

I parted my lips in disbelief. Narcissist level one thousand, Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov. I just roll my eyes.

"Have you been skipping sessions with your shrink again Nikolai?"

"You caused this madness. I don't need a shrink. I need you."

I sigh in frustration and defeat. "Nikolai...I'll see you tonight." I tapped the phone and gave it back to Ivan.

A few minutes later we arrived at St. Mary's. As I enter the school I notice that Ivan and Vasily are still walking with me inside.

"You can wait for me outside."

"We can't do that Madamme, the Boss' order."

Is he kidding me right now?

"Hand me your phone Ivan." He took the phone from his chest pocket and handed me it to me. The other guy named Vasily is looking around sporting a serious face.

I then dialed Nikolai. "Nikolai! They can't come with me inside the school. I am sure that is not allowed plus they might scare the kids." I looked at Ivan and Vasily. "No offense Ivan, Vasily."

"My men are allowed to go inside the school. I had it arranged with Dr. Thomas. If they don't agree, they can say goodbye to the money I regularly send them."

My lips parted in disbelief. So that's why he knows Dr. Thomas. He also donates money to the school. I don't know if I'm going to get mad or be proud of him.

"We'll talk later Nikolai."

"I love you baby."

"I love you Nikolai."
