Her Volkovs #Book 2 novel Chapter 17

Belle's POV

I'm munching the chocolate bar with almonds and the french fries Patrick delivered to me. They are placed on a fancy plate with the monogram V on it. I canceled the apple at the last minute because,well for no reason. Hmm. I wonder where Natasha is. I just giggle inside. I don't know why but I think my mere presence here gives Natasha hell, and I love it. I told Amy about her and my bestfriend was laughing so hard. She said she's very proud of me because I'm slowly growing a horn and a tail.

Vasily carried me towards Nikolai's executive chair. I quickly noticed the picture frames to the far left of the table. One picture is of Nikolai, Yelena and I'm assuming their father. This is actually the first time I have seen Vyacheslav. Wow, Nikolai has Vyacheslav's green eyes and his godlike presence. He is wearing a tuxedo. His hair is combed to the back. He is looking at the camera directly and doesn't smile. He is sitting on a maroon colored leather chair while holding a cane in his right hand. Vyacheslav has a strong built. A tattoo is peeking on his collar and a monogram V on his right wrist. Vyacheslav exudes a very domineering and intense charm.

Yelena is to his left. She has a smile on her face as she places her hands on top of her thigh. She's wearing a red gown and looks classy and elegant. Her wavy brunette hair is brushed to her left side. Yelena looked very young in this picture. Perhaps she was seventeen or eighteen.

Nikolai is to Vyacheslav's right. I'm thinking, my future husband was around twenty one in this picture. He is wearing a dark blue suit and was already sporting a godlike presence just like his father. I noticed that Nikolai doesn't have a tattoo peeking on his collar yet although he already has a monogram V peeking on his right wrist.

The other picture frame is of me and Nikolai. This is one of the many pictures we took in front of the fireplace. It's a picture where Nikolai and I are kissing while he grabs me on my waist towards him.

I just sigh. I feel like my heart is filled with sunshine and rainbows. Nikolai, my future husband, deserves a hug later.

I then opened Nikolai's laptop. Just like the last time when I saw it. The wallpaper of his laptop is the picture of the three of us. The one we took in front of the fireplace.

????????

While I'm filling my mouth with chocolate and french fries, I'm watching videos of goats on Nikolai's laptop. To me goats are the cutest and the funniest animals. While I'm giggling and munching, Nikolai and Alexei came barging in.

They bent over and kissed me on my cheeks at the same time. I feel complete all of a sudden. I then wrap my arms around their necks as I plant a kiss on their lips one by one.

"I love you both."

"I love you baby."

"Love you princess."

They looked at the plate in front of me and they seem to have a puzzled look on their faces.

"French fries and chocolates?" Said Alexei.

"Yup so yummy." I said while placing a big bite of fries and chocolates in my mouth.

"I love it when you're eating." Said Nikolai, looking all amused.

I just nodded and grumbled since my mouth is full.

"Goats?" Asked Nikolai.

"Uhuh. Aren't they cute Nikolai?"

Nikolai just smiles at me and shakes his head.

"Let's go weirdo." Said Alexei as he scoops me from Nikolai's chair. My arms are wrapped around Alexei's neck.

"Nikolai baby, can I wear your jacket?" I actually need to hide the bruises on my arms and the hickeys on my neck and breasts.

Nikolai then took off his jacket and made me wear it.

We went to what seems to be the conference room. It has a long glass table in the middle and black executive chairs around it. The chairs have platinum monogram V on it. The one to the far end has a gold monogram V on it and I'm assuming it's Nikolai's seat. Alexei placed me on Nikolai's chair as they sit to my right and left.

Right across us are Nikolai's assistants preparing our lunch while a man in a suit is sitting right next to Alexei. Yuri, Boris and I.V are just outside the glass wall.

"Princess, this is Martin Lowe, he's going to need your signature on some documents."

I crinkled my eyebrows. "What documents?"

Nikolai and Alexei glanced at each other.

"Hello Mrs. Volkov, we need your signatures to formalize Sir Alexei's transfer of assets and properties in case of any untoward incident." He places three foulders with papers to sign in front of me on the table.

"And these are the papers to sign formally transferring to your name all the assets and properties of Ms. Yelena Vyacheslav Volkov." He places two foulders right next to the other documents.

"If you could just sign on the colored arrows indicated..."

"Stop!" All in the room except Nikolai and Alexei took a halt and glanced in my direction. My future husband and Alexei just sat like they were expecting my reaction.

"Nikolai, Alexei, I want to talk in private."

Nikolai signaled his assistants and Martin to leave the room.

"What's this Nikolai? Alexei?"

"Baby, it's for your security, once we're married and something happens to me...."

"Nikolai! You promised me you are never going to speak of that anymore!"

"Just hear me out okay? Once we are married, all my assets and properties will go to you and our kids but we need your signature for Alexei and Yelena's properties to legally transfer to your name. This is for you and our kids security."

At this point I feel like my eyes are being pinched by tiny needles. Why are they always thinking about death?

"Princess, look at me. In our world we can never tell what's going to happen today or tomorrow. It's important that we are prepared for anything. We are going to die and that's a fact, but ill be damned, I will not let that happen anytime soon. We are going to protect each other. Remember what you said? The three of us forever and ever?"

I quickly hugged Alexei as my tears are starting to fall.

"No please let's stop talking about death. I can't do it."

I kissed Alexei on his lips and I don't care if they can see us from outside. Alexei then wipes my tears off of my face.

I then hopped on Nikolai's lap and kissed him on his lips as well. Nikolai grabs me close to him and places his hand at the small of my back.

"Baby, my cock is calling for you."

"Nikolai! I'm being serious here!"
