Her Volkovs #Book 4 novel Chapter 22

Belle's POV

I instructed the pilot to hover over the island before landing. I just want to pinpoint the exact location of my husband first. I am here Nikolai, baby. Your wife is here. Where are you idiot? Did you really think sending me away is a good idea?

So this is where the real Conglomerate meeting is taking place. It's like a fortress on a secluded island. High stone walls, a friggin Castle in the middle, and open-air grounds where cars and several helicopters are parked. It's beautiful really.

There--- he-- is. The man with three legs. He's standing with Alexei, Axel, and Artan. My legs are terribly shaking as I look down. Yet my phobia seems to be overpowered by my desire to teach Nikolai some very important lessons.

I am fuming. My heart is about to explode in anger. He always does this. He keeps me in the blind all the time, all because he's thinking that he's protecting me.

I held on to my seat as the helicopter lands carefully. I placed my gun back in the holster as I prepare to step out. I'm not keen on the attention that I'm getting from the security people right now but it's pretty hard to keep a low profile especially when you arrive in a goddam helicopter!

My dress looks tamed even though the wind from the rotor of the helicopter is blowing really hard. I should thank Matushka later for this. It is mermaid cut, has a high slit showing my chubby legs and even chubbier thighs. And my boobs look amazing through the lacey top. I undeniably look regal. Slutty--- but still regal.

When I reached the foyer of the castle, Nikolai, Alexei, Axel, Artan, and their men are already on top of the stairs as if waiting for me. I was then halted by a woman who's wearing a sexy blue dress. She's a brunette with piercing grey eyes, rouge lipstick, and a very noticeable tiger tattoo on her cleavage. She looks so badass and sexy at the same time. I saw her taking orders from Axel just a while ago. She must be one of Axel De Alba's people.

"Mrs. Volkov, surrender any concealed weapons please." She said waiting for me to hand over my gun.

Nikolai and Alexei said that I should always protect myself. There is no way I'm surrendering my gun to her.

"Get out of my way." I retorted.

"Mrs. Volkov, it's protocol. Everyone in this organization follows protocol. That means, even Volkov's wife should follow the rules. No weapons in the meeting. Security of everyone is guaranteed by the host." She replied.

"What makes you think I have a weapon to surrender?" Shit. I can see from my position that Nikolai is already getting agitated and Alexei is looking at Axel all annoyed. Oh my goodness. I should really drop this before my husbands overreact to the situation.

Before I could even decide, the woman took me by surprise by bending down to search me from my ankles with both of her hands. She's looking me in the eye as she drops in front of me.

Her palms gently brushed my skin, sliding with ease up to the back of my knees to my thighs. Her lips slightly pulled to the side in a naughty smile when she felt the holster of my gun. She stood up, pulled me by my waist until there was not an inch of space between the two of us.

Her other hand crawled under my dress while her eyes are still focused on my face. I felt her unhook my gun from the holster and showed me that she got it. She winked at me mischievously while handing the gun to one of Axel's men. I just bit my lower lip in embarrassment.

I thought that was over but then she signaled using her finger that I turn my back. Of course I did not submit.

"Suit yourself." She said with her thick Spanish accent. She again pulled me to her and then reached for my bum and stayed there for a good several seconds before gliding her palms up my back, down my waist, and then to my sides, all the way up the side of my breasts.

I feel like any moment from now this woman is going to make out with me. This is way beyond a normal pat-down. I mean she's sexy and all but I just don't roll that way. My best friend and I would kiss but it's nothing awkward or weird like this. But then again, I can see that the people around us are waiting for my reaction so I decided to just play it cool to get this little show done and over with.

Everyone has settled and only the soft sound of the jazz band playing and the occasional chattering from the Bosses' table can be heard. There are three empty chairs at the table, and I think I have an idea to whom the chairs belong to. One chair is a combination of gold and red velvet, the other one is royal blue and diamond and the other one is a combination of white, gold, and dark green with a monogram V etched on it.

"Princess, you have made Matushka really proud tonight. Remember, you are Volkov's Queen. Show these lousy bitches how it's done. Now go on, take a seat on your throne."

"Thank you Matushka. But where are you going?"

"My sweet sweet princess. It's time for Matushka to retire from the Conglomerate wives table. My time has passed. But don't worry, I will be there with my boys to watch over you."

The one presiding over the wives' meeting rang a small glass bell to get the attention of everyone. She was glancing over at us and clearing her throat being all righteous and snobby. She reminds me so much of those Stepford wives. The perfect- cupcake baking--Chanel N°5 Eau de parfum -wearing kind of wives.

"We have been interrupted, but let us not lost focus on the important matters that we have lined up. Shall we?" Said Mrs. Stepford as if she did not see me approach the table. Yikes.

No matter. I sat on my rightful seat comfortably and crossed my legs over the other effectively showing my chubby thighs which I am rather proud of. I did not care about the judging stare coming from the other wives who look like Matushka's age. At this point, I feel like nothing can actually intimidate me. Not even all of these wives combined.

I mean I just punched the Russian Mafia Boss in his face. Is there anything else I cannot do? Although I highly doubt if I will get away with it judging by how Nikolai is looking at me right now. His dark green eyes have turned even darker and I think I know what that devil is thinking at this precise moment.
