Belle's POV
When we arrived in Kovrov I asked Boris to take me to Vasily's house. Our convoy pulled over in front of a two story house with a lot of flowers surrounding it. The house has a front porch, a short driveway and a garage on the left side.
Boris told me that Vasily lives with his mother and sister who has several kids. The typical closed knit Russian family. No wonder why Vasily was very gentle to me when he was still assigned as my bodyguard. Despite his don't mess with me look, he was still a gentleman in the inside.
I also asked Boris why Nikolai removed Ivan and Vasily as my personal bodyguards but the big man did not budge. I did not insist further because I know that sooner than later, I will find out the truth. I always do.
We were pleasantly welcomed by Vasily's mother and sister and basically the whole family. I asked where Vasily is, she said that he's still at work somewhere and that he will be home soon.
Vasily's mum insisted that she will cook for me because she said that it will be an honor for their family to host Madame Volkov. They are very sweet, but they really should not have bothered really. I know I'm already crimson in embarrassment.
I'm sitting on the sofa while being surrounded and stared at by Vasily's sister and her kids, and some other teenage girls who just appeared out of nowhere. Geeez. Where did these people come from?
~?~
Meanwhile.....
Outside Vasily's house are Vladi (One of the most respected elder of the Russian Mafia who lives in Kovrov) and other men of the Russian Mafia. When they heard that Madame Volkov is in town, they instantly posted men to surround Vasily's house.
They are expecting the Big Bosses to arrive any moment, since they were made aware by Boris that Madame Volkov is here without the knowledge of the Boss and the Underboss.
Belle's surprise arrival made quite a stirr in the Russian Mafia town. Some teenage girls snuck inside the house to see Madame Volkov. The neighbours are closely watching each and every movement in the house, gossiping, making up stories as to why the gods of the Russian Mafia descended from the heavens.
Inside the house, in the living room, Belle starts to feel drowsy after eating the home cooked meal especially made for her by Vasily's mother. Eventually she wasnt able to resist the urge to close her eyes and sleep on the couch.
Boris asked the women, teenage girls and children gushing over the Madame to give her some space since she's pregnant. They all gasped in unison, eyes glittering the moment Boris reaveals about Belle's condition. Their fangirling intensified to the point that they needed to be escorted out of the house.

I flicker my eyes as I slowly gain consciousness feeling someone plant small kisses on my lips and around my face. When I opened my eyes I realized that I'm already on Alexei's lap. His arms are wrapped around my back, gently snuggling me towards his body.
I wanted to remove myself from him but he held on to me firmly. Nikolai who was talking to Yuri scooted over to his brother's side when he realized that I'm already awake.
Anger starts to build inside my heart once again as I remember what Yuri said to me and what that Tatiana bitch said during the call. These two are unbelievablly foolish for even thinking that they can keep these secrets from me.
Alexei tries to kiss me on my lips but I refused him. I find this the perfect time to drop the cheating bomb on him, "Tatiana is waiting for you at Zora. She asked if youre going to spend the night again, Boss Daddy."
Alexei looked like he's been drenched with freezing water the moment he heard the name Tatiana. Nikolai however looked like he's not surprised by the fact that his brother is a cheat.
"You knew about this Nikolai?"
His silence was more than enough. Of course they are in this together! When will I ever learn?!
I pushed Alexei as hard as I can so I can get away from him. I stood up and slapped him on his face so friggin hard my palm actually hurts bad.
"I never thought that you can do this to me Alexei! But you did! I hate you! I hate you so much! I can never ever forgive you!"
He stood up and accepted each and every hit and slap that came his way. I hit him on his chest many times but he just hugs me and allows me to hit him over and over again.
Slowly, my adrenaline subsided and so did my strength. Tears came pouring down my eyes as hopelessness sinks in. When will these two ever stop hurting me? Everytime I try to move forward, things like these happen and crushes my soul.
Alexei gently pulls me towards his chest and wipes the tears from my face. "Yes, I went to Zora. You broke up with me so easily like I did not even matter to you. I went there to forget about you. But I could not do it. I could not see myself with anyone else but you. I'm still holding on to a future with you and my tiny Volkovs, Viktors and Yelenas. I still want to comb your hair when youre too lazy to care. I still want to love you and take care of you for the rest of my life."
Oh god forgive me but I believe him. Every single word hit through my heart.
"Nothing happened between you and that Tatiana?"
"Nothing happened, I swear to my father's grave."
"Or some other woman?"
"Never will I ever."
I wasnt able to say a single word, I just rested my head on his chest, my eyes instantly glued to Nikolai. What about you Mr. Volkov?
"What? Don't look at me. My crooked heart and this cock are exclusively sealed for you baby." Nikolai answered all too arrogantly. I just rolled my eyes on him. I could not believe I'm married to this horny teenage boy.
Alexei softly chuckled to his brother's insanity. He then made me look him in his eyes and continued, "Am I forgiven? Can I kiss you now? I swear to god Im gonna fucking shoot myself in the head--"
I did not let him finish, I kissed him on his lips passionately as my answer. I pushed myself even closer to him to allow him better entance to my mouth. God I miss this man so much!
While Alexei and I are making out, I pretended to forget about the other Volkov brother. This should serve him right. The man still owes me an explanation about Yuri.
