Her Volkovs #Book 3 novel Chapter 6

Artan in his office together with his other men, Dardan, Besian and Adnan. They are drinking scotch while Artan tends to his manhood.

DARDAN: (Clears his throat to get the attention of Artan) Boss, more ice? (Shows a straight face, can't help but pull his lips to the side, all amused.)

ARTAN: (Looks at Dardan sternly.) Wipe that smile off of your face Dardan. Do you think this is funny?

DARDAN: Not at all Boss. Ms. Belle was a little frail last night. I'm sure she did not hit the ....uh....main artery.

Artan's men was not able to hold the amusement and snorted in unison.

ARTAN: Get the fuck out before I shoot all of you in your fucking heads! (Moves uncomfortably in his chair while holding the ice pack on top of his crotch.)

His other men went out of the room except for Dardan, Besian and Adnan.

BESIAN: I can't believe your patience is finally paying off. You slept with Volkov's girl last night? My man! ( Bumps glass of liquor with Artan)

ADNAN: The Russians are not gonna take this one lightly the moment they know about this. You are poking the motherfucking wolves, brother! We havent even recovered from the last blow.

BESIAN: (Reached for Adnan's shoulder) Relax brother, the Boss got this. Am I right Boss?

ARTAN: The deal with the Escobar Cartel will push forward. I just have to seal it first before Volkov pulls some strings and derail our business again. The Escobars have a long history of bad blood with the old man Vyacheslav and I will capitalize on that to get back what has been taken from me.

BESIAN: And before they know it, we are back in the drug world with a fucking vengeance. Ahhh, I can't wait to see Volkov and Alexei's faces when they see you with the Escobar Cartel in your hands and his wife Bella on your lap.

ARTAN: (Artan saw black the moment Besian mentioned Belle in the conversation. He points at him while holding a glass of scotch in his hand.) Watch your fucking mouth! You do not disrespect her in front of me. Her name is Belle and she is not part of the deal.

BESIAN: (Adnan looks at Besian with a you fucking deserve it look. Besian cocked his head to the side realizing that he should not have opened his mouth regarding his Boss' girl.) Okay Boss, my bad.

DARDAN: (Taps his phone after talking to someone from outside.) Boss, Ms. Belle is here.

Besian and Adnan looked at Artan who is obviously surprised to hear that Belle came for him.

Belle's POV

I don't know exactly what I'm doing here but I understand that Artan deserves an apology from me. I really did not mean to do that to him last night. My cousin Devon once told me that the best self defense I can do especially when a man is attacking me is the ninja kick. Which is basically a kick on a man's crotch as hard as I can. He said that it's the most painful thing that a girl can do to a man, aside of course from breaking his heart. It's like the equivalent of giving birth or something.

I swear to the heavens, I did not intend to kick him on his man parts. I was just trying to get away from him. I did not even realize what I did until this morning.

"Ms. Belle, come in please."

Dardan is sporting a naughty smile while leading me inside Artan's office at Bogdani Cargo. Well that's a first. The Dardan I know is always serious and business like.

"Thank you." I said in response.

When I entered, I saw Artan and two other men drinking and talking. How many times do I have to tell this man to stop drinking for the sake of his daughter?

The two other men instantly gazed at my direction the moment they noticed me. They both look like Nikolai and Alexei's age. They are all wearing suits and as per usual exude the mobster frightening presence, just like Artan's.

I quickly zoned out from the two because I suddenly felt like I was being stared at from head to foot. I looked straight at Artan who has a piece of cloth covering his whole thigh and legs and I'm assuming that the bulging thing in his manhood is an ice pack. I bit my lower lip in an attempt to suppress a giggle. I am a bad person.

"Put that down Artan." I said sternly as he attempts to drink again. His lips slowly pulled to the side as he looks at the glass as if deciding to drink it or do what I said. "Artan."

"Okay baby." He said while putting the glass down.

"I'm here to...uh...well what I'm about to tell you needs privacy."

"It's okay, you can tell me anything in front of them. That's Adnan and Besian."

I smiled at them faintly. If only A is here, she would have enjoyed her eyes looking at these two. Adnan has blonde brownish hair while Besian is the brunette one. They remind me of my Ivan and Vasily. I actually miss those two. I haven't seen them from the time we got back from Palawi.

"Hi Ms. Belle, my name is Adnan."

He shook my hand and then placed his hands inside his pockets. Besian reached for my hand as well but this one leaned forward to kiss the back of my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Belle."

I smiled at them faintly and focused my attention back to Artan.

"What is it that you want to tell me that needs privacy baby?"

Ugh! And how many times do I have to tell this man not to call me baby?

"I came here to apologize for kicking your..." I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued. "Your... uhmm." Gosh! I never thought it's this hard to say a man's body part. I bit my lower lip as I gather courage to say it out loud. "Your flag pole."

The moment I said the last words. Besian and Adnan instantly blew the liquor from their mouths in unison. The alcohol scattered all over their suits which they immediately wipe off with their hands.

"Shit.." Said Adnan.

"Fuck." Said Besian.

Dardan is now looking down the floor as he tries to hide a smile from his face.

I looked at Artan sternly. I told him that I needed privacy but he did not listen! Now I'm in this super embarrassing situation. Goddammit! Really Belle? Of all the words to describe his penis. FLAG POLE? A freaking FLAG POLE?

At this point, I can already feel my face heat up. I know that I'm already bloody murder red.

Artan's lips are now permanently pulled to the side. I quickly turn my back to save myself from further humiliation.

To my horror. Artan stood up, pulled me towards him and grabbed me by my neck just below my left ear. Before I know it, his lips landed on mine for an unexpected kiss.

Belle's POV

I removed my lips from his, "Let go of me Artan." I said, as I try to push him. I actually hate myself for even feeling comfortable in his arms. He makes me feel like no one can ever hurt me when I'm with him and I hate every moment of it.

This man was the one who sent those pictures to Nikolai. The very reason why Nikolai was drowned in jealousy half the time that we were together. Those pictures convinced him that Artan and I are having an affair.

"I will never do that." He said while holding me around my back tightly and placing his palm on the back of my ear.

"Let go of me Artan! I don't want to see you ever again!"

"We need you. Aria and I need you baby. Please don't do this."

I wipe the tears that are slowly forming in my eyes. My pregnant hormones are not helping my cause at this time.
