Her Volkovs #Book 4 novel Chapter 47

SOMEWHERE IN BOSTON

Sergey Yvanislov: What did you say?

FBI: We are releasing Nikolai Volkov.

Sergey: I gave you everything that I have to take the man down! What the hell happened?

FBI: After the raid in his properties and his mansion, we still don't have enough evidence to link Volkov to the Russian Mafia aside from the last name Volkov. Do you fucking know how many Volkovs are there in this country? Your boy cleans up his tracks so well, not even a fucking parking ticket or a tax case could be filed against him!

Sergey: (clenches his jaw as he looks at the man intensely) He has a brother! Did you at least try to find evidence linking Alexei to anything at all? The man runs the Russian Mafia! He's the fucking underboss! There's got to be a slip up on their part somehow!? Right?! Find it!

FBI: We are pulling the plug Sergey. There's nothing we can do now.

Sergey: How about my testimony? What will happen to the case now?

FBI: Your testimony is good for nothing if we don't have evidence to corroborate your allegations. There's not a single soul in the underworld who is willing to testify except you.

Sergey: So that's it? Am I still under witness protection?

FBI: All I can do now is give you a location to safely hide but that's about it.

Sergey: What really happened here? Tell me.

FBI: (sighs) We have orders from the high up.

Sergey: How high?

FBI: (looks at Sergey as if contemplating to tell)

Sergey: (grabs the man by his collar) How high?

FBI: The POTUS.

Sergey: (eyes widened, slowly lets go of the man and sat down in defeat)

FBI: Money runs the world Sergey. Nikolai Volkov is one of the biggest secret campaign contributors of the President and he was the reason why the man swept the votes in the great state of New York. We cannot take Nikolai Volkov down.

Sergey: You're throwing me under the bus?

FBI: The bureau is going to face law suits from the Billionaire who was arrested in front of news reporters and his pregnant wife. I specifically told you not to leak the information about the arrest but you still did. You're not the only one who's thrown under the bus here Sergey.

Albanian Mafia

Dardan: Boss, we entered the Irish's territory. I don't know what your Belle is doing right now but I don't think a pregnant woman should be going around New York in the wee hours of the night, outside of the Russian Mafia's territory yah?

Artan: Don't take your eyes off of her, not even for a second.

Dardan: We got it Boss. Just one thing, are we going to have a problem with the Irish if they see us here?

Artan: Belle gave the Irish a heads up right before we could talk to them. She's planning on doing something in that pub, so watch her every step.

Dardan: She's coming out of the vehicle with her two bodyguards. There are four Russians outside of the pub and they look like they are not expecting to see their queen.

Cabana Colombian Cartel

Sniper Shooter: I've got visual and clear target on the table at 7 o'clock. Waiting for your go Boss.

Axel: If you see movement around her, shoot to kill. Never let anyone touch her.

Sniper Shooter: Shoot to kill upon movement. Copy.

Axel: What is she doing in there?

Sniper Shooter: She's talking to them. Tough crowd in there Boss. Looks unusual looking at Russians treat their queen that way. These old men are getting ready to take over the Russian Mafia.

Belle's POV

We are at Jakoby Quinn's territory. The boy licker who is the sole heir to the Irish Mafia. They are a family of arms dealer across North America and Europe and they are aligned to the Russian Mafia. We are inside a friendly territory but I thought I'd give them a call to let them know that we are entering their territory to finish a business.

They said that they were glad to hear from me and that they would send back up just in case I need help. I did not decline their offer but in my mind there is really no need for back up because I am going to finish this as efficiently and as fast as possible. Pregnancy hormones are literally overpowering my body at this moment. I could honestly use a soft bed right now.

These traitors think that they would not be found out in doing their meeting outside of the Russian Mafia's territory. Little do they know that it only takes a few strippers from Zora to locate their secret venue. They even booked a fake birthday celebration to evade suspicion. These people really thought. How pathetic.

"Madame, I should come in there first." Says Ivan in the driver's seat.

"No. It will just tip them off. I should catch them red-handed so this does not look like we are getting rid of the elders in the Mafia. We have a hierarchy to consider."

"The Boss is the Mafia. These motherfuckers are nothing but wannabes. Their families owe their existence to the Boss." Vasily said.

"While that is true Vasily, why did you think Nikolai let them live despite my husband knowing that they doubted him before? It is because Nikolai respects his father. There are rules that the Mafia is operating on and those rules were made by his father."

"As you wish Madame. But I'm under orders to protect you as well, so if I see one wrong move against you from anyone in there, we are going to blow their heads off, that's a promise."

I understand that I.V are just doing their jobs so I just let them be. "Okay." I replied.

There are four men outside of the pub. The moment they saw Ivan and Vasily got out of the black SUV, one of them instantly attempted to go inside. But Ivan got a hold of him while Vasily got the other two before they could even react.

I realized just why Nikolai and Alexei trust I.V with my life. They are strong and fast, and boy do they impose fear on these four.

Ivan signaled Vasily to be with me as he takes care of the four outside. Vasily then stood toe to toe with a man who blocked our way towards the booth where the elders are seated. From my position, I can already hear loud laughs and cheers from the elder's table. I can just imagine the obnoxious men yapping and drinking right now, celebrating my family's apparent downfall.

"Move to the side at once." I said calmly.

The man looked over Vasily's shoulder and I swear the moment he laid eyes on me, he looked so surprised, he gazed at the other guy quizzically perhaps to check if what he is seeing is accurate.

Good thing he made the right decision of stepping to the side albeit not removing his eyes off of us. Vasily then placed a chair on the corner of the table by the booth for me to sit. He just stood on my side as I come face to face with the traitors.

They are looking at each other obviously uncomfortable that a member of the family that they are trying to overthrow is right in front of them, in the flesh. Undeniably, my blood started to boil.

"Look at you, celebrating and drinking over here while Nikolai is in the custody of the FBI and the whole Russian Mafia is on a standstill." I said, trying so hard not to explode in anger. I have to remind myself that these men were in the Mafia long before Nikolai and Alexei were even born. They were with Papa Vyacheslav and Papa Viktor before because somehow they trusted these men.

They all looked at each other first and then burst out laughing. "We are at a birthday party for our boy over there. Is it prohibited to celebrate now?" Said the man with a thick Russian accent. He's wearing suspenders as his belly bulges over his pants. He reminds me of David from the book shop I used to work for, only that David is dear to me while this man right here is just a nuisance.

"Darling, please don't take this differently. Okay? But you came here uninvited. Real Russian women don't do that. They stay home, they take care of the family and take care of their husband!" The one who seemed to be the leader of the pack said. He's talking while gesturing with his hand, faking sincerity. "Now now- just go home and be an ornament as you always are. Okay?" He continued as if dismissing me.

What a bunch of cowards! They did not have the balls to do this when Nikolai and Alexei were beside me on numerous occasions before. Now that my husbands are unavailable, the misogynist in them is naturally showing. I pity their wives for having obnoxious and ignorant men in their lives.

Before I completely lose my temper, I had to remind myself why I'm actually here. "Vasily, tell the man who's celebrating his birthday to come over. I would like to greet him personally."

Vasily dragged the kid and made him kneel on my side.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Simeon, Madame Volkov." He answered.

"Simeon, I suppose that you have a girlfriend yah?"

He looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. "Uh, yes Madame."

"I'm going to let you in on a little secret about women Simeon. When your girlfriend or your mother or any woman in your life for that matter asks you a question, always tell the truth because more often than not, they already know the answer. They are just testing you if you're going, to tell the truth or not."

"Madame-"

"Also, treat women with respect because they may appear to be quiet and all smiles as they take care of you and the family-" I looked at the misogynist momentarily before continuing. "It turns out that the coffee that you're drinking every morning used water from the toilet bowl, your toothbrush dipped in the same toilet water and your food sprinkled with arsenic for a slow and undetectable death."

The leader of the pack stood up from his seat and throws his napkin on his plate and bent down to whisper to my ear. "You are acting like you are so tough Madame Volkov. I hope you walk your talk because when I'm done with you-" He looks down to my belly and then up to my face before continuing. "You will look back and regret this night ever happened. But don't worry, I will tell them to be quick. You and that poor thing won't even feel it."

I felt the hair on my nape raise in utter shock. This man wants to harm me and my babies. This is exactly what Yuri warned me about if anything happens to Nikolai and Alexei. Enemies from inside and outside of the organization will come after me and my babies to get rid of the Volkov bloodline.

Vasily and Ivan appeared to step forward but I signaled them not to. My hands started to shake in both fear and anger. I looked him in the eyes and all I can see is his true intentions. He meant what he just said.

It's as if I saw black, I pulled the gun from Ivan's side and pointed it towards the elder who called me an ornament and threatened my babies' lives. I'd like to see his face when I shove the tip of the loaded gun down his throat as he says the word ornament again to my face.

It caught them all off guard including Ivan and Vasily. I almost scoffed at their funny faces. At this point, I am beyond angry. I feel like I am going mental.

There's only one reason why he can say these things to me. They are without a doubt traitors of the Russian Mafia who want to get rid of me and the babies because of their plan to take over the Mafia's Business.

"What? Have you not seen an ornament use a gun before?" I said, confronting him.

"Madame Volkov, put your gun down. This is not funny." Says one of the elders.

"Who says I'm trying to be funny?" I retorted.

I then looked at Simeon while still pointing the gun at the ornament elder's face. "Now, Simeon, is it really your birthday today or not? Before you say anything, remember what I told you a while ago. Be careful, or someone's head is going to blow off!"

Simeon shook his head in defeat. "No Madame, it's not my birthday." He replied. I signaled him to go and leave the pub along with the others who don't want to be involved.

I then pushed the tip of the gun deeper onto the man's face. He sat back in his seat and breathes heavily while looking at me with such contempt.

It's really nice when people underestimate you and threaten you because then, you get to put them in place in a spectacular way.
