Her Volkovs #Book 2

Belle's POV

We are on our way to another location for my formal introduction to the Russian Mafia world. My bra is still hanging in front of the A/C. I am munching on the chocolates, french fries and chips. I snapped the chocolate bars into bite sizes and mixed everything in the bag of chips including the french fries. Uhhh soooo yummy....I can eat this all day. Alexei and Nikolai are just looking at me while I enjoy my food. I would feed the two from time to time.

Yuri is talking to somebody on the phone. I'm on Alexei's lap while my legs are stretched to Nikolai's.

Nikolai is playing his fingers with my toes while Alexei is kissing me on my nape.

Yuri then cleared his throat.

"Dimitri is here Boss."

Nikolai looks like he's not expecting what Yuri said. I once heard Nikolai and Alexei mention the name Dimitri and he has something to do with Boston.

"What did he say?"

"He needs to talk to you Boss. He'll be seeing you in a while. Said it's important."

Nikolai did not answer, his mood suddenly changed. He looks like he's thinking about something. I just did not bother asking Nikolai what's wrong. He once said his business in Boston is for his father, and whatever it is that made his mood change means that this is really important to him.

"Nikolai, if you have a meeting to attend to, I can go home early. Ill have I.V bring me home. It's no big deal."

Nikolai looked at Alexei first and looked at me like he's thinking about it.

"We will push through. I dont want you to go home on your own." Said Nikolai.

I gave him a reassuring smile and placed my palm on his face.

After a few minutes our convoy slowed down on what looks like an old building. It has tall concrete walls with many security cameras around. The steel gate opened and the SUVS pulled over the driveway a few yards from the entrance of the old building. There are two huge men wearing black trench coats, one of them holding a radio opened the door for us. Nikolai and Alexei are still clutching my hand on the way inside.

As we enter the door, everything seems to be dimly lit except for the light illuminating at the end of the hallway. As we near where the light illuminates, I feel like my heart is beating a million times. Oh god. Whatever it is that Im about to see, am I actually ready to witness it? Let alone accept it? I know I said I am going to accept Nikolai and Alexei, Mafia and all, but there's this certain feeling I could not comprehend.

There's a lump in my throat that is slowly forming. I held on tight to my Nikolai and Alexei. Yuri and Boris are walking ahead of us while the four other men are behind us.

Nikolai and Alexei are sporting a serious look, very different and definitely a hundred times intense from their mood back at Kovrov.

My eyes flickered as we finally enter the end of the hallway. My eyes adjusted to the bright light and everything around me became more clearer.

We are standing on a steel balcony where we have a full view of what looks like a warehouse. There are at least twenty rectangular tables, each has a flourescent light on top. There are four workers in each tables and they look like they are packing a white powdery substance. I dont know what kind of drugs exactly but I dont need to be a genius to figure out what's happening here. The workers are a mix of men and women wearing only their undergarments. They all look busy and no one seem to be talking. There are also men in black walking around with guns slinged on their sides and some held it on their hands. At this point a permanent lump is stuck in my throat. Everything in front of me now is the real thing. The Russian Mafia's one of many illegal activities. These people working here are repacking drugs. Drugs that destroy lives of many people, including teenagers and children and their families.

I'm a teacher and I teach my kids to be good and productive citizens of their country, or at least be a good person but I think I dont have a single right to teach good values now if I myself is in bed with a Drug Lord himself.

Nikolai and Alexei are just observing my reaction. I try my very best to look unshaken by this harsh reality. I really thought I have fully accepted this fact, but apparently I havent.

I slowly let go of Nikolai and Alexei but Nikolai instantly grabbed me towards him and forced my hand to his. He clutched it tightly to his side.

"Were just beginning baby. Do you want to go home now?"

"No Nikolai." I said. No matter how much I want to run away, I decided to see this one through. To be honest, I want to know if I can actually accept all of these. All of Nikolai and Alexei. Nikolai looked me in the eyes. I could not decipher his expression. His beautiful green eyes are just devoid of emotion.

Alexei instantly held my other hand tight. He has the same expression as Nikolai. It's like all of a sudden, there's this wall in between us, not allowing me to see through the two.

We then walked back to the dimly lit

hallway, turned left and walked towards a red door where another man in black jacket is guarding. He opened the door for us. I see a decent looking carpeted room. It looks like an office with couches in the middle and an office table near the wall on the far right. There is a small table in the middle of the brown leather couches where two laptops are opened. A man and a woman wearing black are already inside working something on the laptops. When they saw us enter the room they quickly clicked something and stood on the corner right next to our other men.

Nikolai made me sit on the couch in front of the two laptops. Nikolai is to my left and Alexei is to my right.

The laptop to my left has eight live

feeds of the strip and sex clubs that Alexei once told me about. The first four live feeds show women dancing naked on poles and on the stage while men oggle around. The other four feeds look like the sex club where women and men are having free for all sex in an elegantly ornamented huge rooms. It's like everyone can have sex with

everyone in that club.

At this point I can feel my knees and legs weaken. If im not already seated, I would have definitely collapsed. I placed my hands intertwined with each other on top of my thighs. I feel like I am slowly suffocating by what Im seeing right now.

On the other laptop to the right is a live feed of two men who are on their knees with a covering on their heads inside an old dilapidated room.

A few seconds later a man wearing a trench coat appeared and took the head cover of the two men on their knees. They look like they have already been beaten pretty bad prior to this. They have blood on their faces and their bodies.

I then saw Alexei dial his phone. The man on a trench coat in the room took the call as seen on the live feed.

"Do it." Said Alexei blankly.

All of a sudden the man on a trench coat on the screen took a knife from his side and slits the throat of the man on the left. The man fell on the floor and his blood splattered and spilled like a pig that is being slaughtered.

A few seconds later, the other man was shot to the head from the back and in just a blink of an eye, his blood dripped from his head and spilled all over the floor.

"Nobody double crosses the Mafia and lives to tell the tale." Said Nikolai. He is crossing his thigh over the other while placing the side of his index finger under his chin.

I thought that was over when all of a sudden, the man in trench coat cuts the fingers of the dead bodies one by one and places them in a plastic bag. He then pulled their tongues, sliced them and places them in the bag as well.

Oh my god. I dont know if I can take

it anymore. I quickly stood up and stormed out of the room. I ran and found my way towards the dark hallway and outside the building.. halted on the driveway and tried to stand but my knees are shaking. I just saw two defenseless men brutally killed under the orders of Nikolai and Alexei.

The moment the cold fresh air entered my system, I instantly threw up everything that's in my stomach. Im trying to catch my breath in between puke. My eyes are already watering and sweat are dripping down my face. I dont know what to feel right now. I am shaken and confused.

Moments later, I dropped on my knees to the concrete ground and squeezed myself tight.

My Nikolai and Alexei are cold blooded criminals. They are murderers.

The cold wind of the night is already hugging my body. I shiver down my spine as I remember everything that I have seen.

Tears are now flowing down my face no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying. Seconds later I felt Nikolai scoop me from the ground and carries me on his arms.

"Were going home now. You have seen enough."

Yuri then opened the car door for us. He made me sit in between him and Alexei who is still silent and devoid of emotion up until now.

"Bring me to Amy's please." I said while looking ahead. Boris and Yuri then entered the car and waited for Nikolai's signal.

I need space away from Nikolai and Alexei right now. I want to think and I badly need a friend to be with.

"No, were going home." Said Nikolai while wiping my tears and my mouth with his hanky. Yuri handed me a bottled water to drink.

"I want to see Amy." I said blankly.

"You need to rest. We are going home." Said Nikolai dismissing me.

"I need to rest away from you and Alexei, thats what I need and that's what I want Nikolai!" I raised my voice at Nikolai. I looked at him in his eyes while tears are slowly forming on my eyes again. Nikolai ordered Boris to drive to Amy's. He clenched his jaw as he rests his back on the backrest of the car seat.
