Her Volkovs #Book 1 novel Chapter 41

Belle's POV

I crinkled my eyebrows. "You were the one what Nikolai?" Oh god, the suspense is killing me. I feel like I'm already running out of breath.

"I was the one who saw a girl slam her face on the glass window at a flowershop." He has now a smirk plastered on his face while looking at me teasingly.

I gasped and parted my lips in disbelief. "Nikolai!!!!!" Oh god I feel like I'm going to faint. So it was him. The one I heard chuckle from behind.

"It was you!!! How could you Nikolai!!!!" I can feel my face heat up. I know that I'm already turning crimson. Oh god, I then remember the embarrassing Marilyn Monroe moment I had. I smack him on his shoulder a couple of times but he just lets out a chuckle in response.

"Why do you always enjoy embarrassing me Nikolai?"

"I like it when you blush. It gives me unbelievable pleasure baby."

I just shook my head on him. Well, this man is crazy.

"That was also the day I realized I still have this." Nikolai trailed my hand to his heart. "That was the first time I felt something for a girl I don't even know the name. I thought it was just a weird feeling but then I saw her again at that exact place. I knew I want her in my life at that precise moment."

How do I even respond to that? So Nikolai fell in love with me the first time he saw me? Just like what I felt for him?

"But then one night, some piece of shit tried to harm and rob my girl from me, so I had him incinerated alive."

Oh my god. I don't know if I'm going to be overjoyed because of his confession of love or terrified by the fact that he had Jared burned alive.

"I will destroy anyone who will try to harm you baby."

"But Nikolai...."

I feel like my heart is beating a million times. My Nikolai who swept me off my feet the first time I saw him. The man who took my virginity in a very Nikolai way. The man who gave me unimaginable pain and happiness. This man will indeed do everything for me. I then remember Calvin, the two men from the stadium, Jared and even Dylan. They were either dead, beaten up so bad and threatened to be killed all because of me.

I really want to tell him to stop with the violence but then I know that the moment I went back to Nikolai and Alexei's lives, I have already accepted them, all of them, Mafia and all, monsters and all. This is my Nikolai. He is the boss of the Russian Mafia.

"Let me prove myself to you. I cannot promise I will not screw up again but I will do my best to protect you and love you until my last breath." Said Nikolai as he tightens his grip on me.

At this point my heart has already melted down. If there's a happier place than heaven, I feel like I am in it right now.

"Nikolai...I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Allow me to make it up to you now. I will give you everything and anything you want. We will go anywhere you want to go. Just say the word baby, I will do anything for you."

"Really? Even getting rid of I.V?

"I.V?" Said Nikolai and he looks puzzled.

"Yah, I.V, Ivan and Vasily." I gave him the sweetest smile.

Nikolai lets out a smirk in response. "That's non-negotiable."

"Aww, but you just said you will do anything for me Nikolai!" Well at least I tried.

"You know that's not what I meant you witty brain."

"But Nikolai....immnoottussseeddtooohavingggbodddyyyguuuardsss." I mumble my words as Nikolai kisses me lustfully while I try to speak. He then removes his lips on mine.

"What's that baby?" Nikolai said while sporting a wicked smile.

"I said....immmmmnnotussseddtoohaavinngboodddyguaardss." He again planted a long lustfull kiss on my lips while I was talking. I giggle and smack him on his shoulder. He really enjoys doing this to me.

"Ivan and Vasily are instructed to take out whoever tries to even lay a finger on you. They can protect you while me or Alexei are not with you. You are mine now and I will never allow anything to happen to you baby."

"Why would anything happen to me?"

"I have powerful enemies. And they are just waiting for an opportunity to ruin me. I will never let them do that again."

"What do you mean Nikolai?"

"What happened to my father was a hit and I'm closing in on whoever did that to him. They thought they can destroy the Volkov crime family by killing my father and Viktor, but that was the biggest mistake they have ever made. I am going to find them. I will find them one by one, including the most precious people in their lives, and I'm going to personally put a bullet in each of their heads." Nikolai said all too seriously. His eyes are full of hatred and vengeance. I fully understand why Nikolai wants to avenge his family. All I can do right now is be by his side and support him.

"How about Yelena, what happened to her Nikolai?"

I can instantly see the sadness on Nikolai's eyes.
