Her Volkovs #Book 3 novel Chapter 2

Belle's POV

I woke up at three in the morning. I didn't realize that I fell asleep because of exhaustion. Alexei is sill passed out. I run my palm all over his soft beard and kissed him on his lips and forehead. "I love you Alexei."

When I extended my hand on my side, I didn't feel Nikolai. I stepped down the bed and decided to go outside. Only a dim light illuminated the whole living room of the penthouse. I looked around but I did not see my future husband.

"Madamme?"

"Boris?" Gee, do this man ever sleep?

"Where's Nikolai?"

"He's with Yuri, Madamme."

"Where?"

The not so gentle giant just looks down in response. I suspect that Nikolai prohibited Boris to disclose where he went. At this time of the night, where could Nikolai have gone?

"I said, where is Nikolai, Boris!"

"Madamme."

I inhaled deep and sighed in frustration. I know it's not right to channel my anger towards Boris, but exhaustion and hopelessness is slowly creeping in me. I don't know if I can hold on to this anymore. I immediately dialed Nikolai but he just ignored my calls. I decided to text him.

Nikolai where are you? We need to talk.

I went back inside the room leaving Boris behind. I climbed next to the other love of my life and instantly hugged him.

"I'm tired Alexei. I'm so tired."

I woke up very late the next day. My eyes are heavy and my body feels like I have been slammed to the wall many times. Once again, I woke up alone in this huge and sad penthouse. Alexei left me a message and said that they will be back after an important business. I'm not sure if Nikolai was able to go home or not. His unwillingness to talk things over has already got me thinking whether or not we can still go back to the way we used to. I looked up and blinked a couple of times to stop the tears from forming in my eyes.

I took my phone from the side table and decided to call my bestfriend.

"A."

"B what's up."

"How was Dara?"

"I did not go."

"What? Why?"

"I sold the tickets. Did you know I got ten thousand dollars from those pieces of papers? Hahaha. I'm rich bitch!"

I suddenly feel bad for not coming with her. I know it was supposed to be a very special night for her. Even if she's not saying it, I know she did not go because of me.

"I'm sorry A. I'll make it up to you, I promise. We can have a girls night out? Or perhaps an out of town trip? Anything and anywhere you want, just the two of us."

"Hmmm.....really?"

"Yes. I'm sorry. We will catch Dara next time."

"So how are you? Were you able to talk to the two?"

"No. It's like the more I try to fix it, the more we fall apart. I want to give up, A."

"Okay."

Okay? I know that she's not really fond of Nikolai but I expected a different reaction from her.

"Okay?"

"Yah, OKAY. You want to give up with your relationship with the Ultra Boss? Fine. You wont be able to see him anymore which is perfectly fine by me. I mean, you wont be able to see that face every morning when you wake up. You will go back to your intelligent self because you will not be blinded by your love anymore. People will not be calling you Mrs. Volkov anymore, so you'll go back to your more badass and legal name, Ms. Mary Arabella Galves, only child and daughter of General Emilio Pablo Galves, Former President and Beloved Dictator of the Republic of Palawi. You will not be shared by two Mafia Bosses anymore which will throw away your spicy and exciting life with the Russian, drug dealing, people murdering, Billionaire Bad Boys. You will go back to your mundane, traditional, kinda boring life. You know I can go on all day..."

"I got it. You don't have to make a novel out of my story."

"Good. Just to be clear, I don't like your fiance' for you, like.....at all! But I have seen you miserable without him and the Extra Boss. So just talk to him, explain your side and remind him that your L.O.V.E is stronger than this misunderstanding."

Little did my bestfriend know that this is far from being just a misunderstanding. I did not tell her about what happened with Nikolai and I last night because if she does, I know her tone will not be like this.

"And oh, one more thing...if you give up, you wont have your regular dose of oral sex anymore. I know Ultra Boss and Extra Boss have quite an appetite when it comes to your vagina. So yah, just think about it."

"A!"

"Hahahaha!" She's now laughing like a crazy hyena.

"Pervert."

"Hahaha! Pervert-ER!" She retorted.
