Chapter 6
Belle's POV
"When I said that she will be the death of me, I never thought that she'd make it as her life's purpose." Nikolai whispers.
I can hear the muffled laughs coming from Alexei to my left side. I can feel the bed is moving and shaking as he continues cracking up to his brother's words.
My eyes are closed but I'm awake and can perfectly hear the two talking to each other, on top of me. Nikolai and Alexei would often do this back in New York in the middle of the night or early in the morning. For some reason, these two find it relaxing to whisper talk while they are on both sides, thinking that I'm sound asleep. They would kiss me, touch me and just plainly stare at me while doing this weird thing. You know that feeling when someone is staring and breathing on your face even if your eyes are closed?
Often I just go back to sleep when they are talking business and stuff but most nights or mornings when they are being naughty, I tend to listen, because I really don't have a choice since they are talking while sandwiching me in the middle.
"I mean, how fucking hard is it to distinguish the blue pill from the white one?" Nikolai added while planting a soft kiss on my lips. "Hahaha! She shot you then drugged you twice on this trip. You are fucking abused!" Alexei exclaimed with utmost glee.
"The fuck is funny with that?" Nikolai asked obviously bordering pissed towards his brother.
"Everything." Alexei retorted.
"Fuck off." Nikolai barks back.
"No, you fuck off. You have a meeting with Juan Pablo De Alba next door five minutes ago."
"Let him wait. I already sent word that I'm not going to come unless my meeting is with his nephew Axel." Nikolai replied. "You know he's not coming. He fucking hates us and he's as hard-headed as you." Alexei stated as if he's really certain.
"Yuri has information about Axel's whereabouts. The man is talking to Artan, forging some kind of a business deal."
"You wiped out his connections and threaten anyone who will do business with him. What did you expect from Artan? He's not just gonna sit around and do nothing. Now Axel will have Artan's alliance vote. Not that I'm worried about it. We still have the majority of the Bosses." Alexei stated as a matter of factly.
"And worry we shall not."
"But Matushka wants us to patch things up with Artan."
"I'm not going to bow down to anyone especially not to that bastard, except my queen that is. I would kneel, crawl, slither and lick for this woman." Nikolai said stubbornly and naughtily.
If only I can roll my eyes right now. The man is at it again.
Alexei softly chuckled, "Insane motherfucker."
The information about Artan making alliances with Nikolai's rival however bothered me. I understand what Nikolai did was too much and somehow I can't help but feel responsible for whatever happened.
Nikolai, Alexei, and the other boys went out for a meeting with the other Bosses who are allies of the Volkov Mafia. A sweet note with red daisies and baby's breath was left next to me on my bed. I decided to message the two while I'm in the privy.
Mrs_Volkov: ????

Mrs_Volkov: @ThouShallBeSpanked ??
Mrs_Volkov: Im eating icecream after this. Be good. Ive got eyes on you.
I_will_eat_your_pussy: Yes maam. Alexei's looking at some ass though.
ThouShall BeSpanked: Hey not true!
Mrs_Volkov: Hmmm... Look all you want boys. I know you're still gonna come back to this booty. Soo...
I_will_eat_your_pussy: ??
ThouShall BeSpanked: ??
Mrs_Volkov: Go back soon or else ill finish the icecream all to myself.
I'm already sleepy but I'm also hungry so I went downstairs to find some food but something caught my attention in the garage just beside the kitchen. I then saw the crates that were carefully unloaded here when we arrived and they are all opened or somehow dismantled. My heart instantly skipped a beat when I heard growling sounds from the back.
The scene when Nikolai, Alexei, and his men went back to the vacation house after their meeting. Nikolai instantly inquired about Belle but nobody saw the Madame went out of her room yet. "Boss, the wolves are out of their cages. They must have escaped." Says one of the men who was left to look after Belle.
Nikolai and Alexei looked at each other as they recall Belle telling them that she's going to get ice cream after their chat. They ran to the kitchen and ordered Yuri and Boris to find Belle around the vacation house.
"She's not here!" Alexei exclaimed when they reached the kitchen.
Nikolai snarled and grabbed one of his men by his collar forcefully, "I swear to god if anything happens to your Madame, I'm going to kill all of you!"
"She's not in any of the room upstairs." Boris interrupted.
"Call the conglomerate and find my wife now!" Ordered Nikolai furiously.
Yuri was about to pick up the dedicated phoneline to the conglomerate but was halted when Nikolai got a cellphone call.
"I found what-- or more appropriately -- who you're looking for." Artan said arrogantly the moment Nikolai answered the call.
"Where is she!? What did you do to her?!" Nikolai clenches his jaw in anger.
"Volkov, tsk tsk tsk you know I would never lay a hand on her." Artan answered.
"Then tell me where she is. Do you have her?!"
"Common garden, backside of the vacation house. Axel is here."
"What the fuck is he doing there with Belle?!" Nikolai gestured his men to come with him as he makes his way towards the back of the vacation house where a garden is situated. It's a common meeting place for the exclusive use of the Bosses of the Conglomerate.
"I don't know. You can ask him yourself. He was already here with Belle when I arrived." Artan replied.
When Nikolai and his men reached the garden, amusement and awe beheld them. Yuri, Boris, Dimitri, especially the Volkov brothers looked like they have been charmed by the beautiful sight in front of them. Belle is sleeping in one of the wooden benches where flower vines gracefully dance like small ballerinas in the night as the soft wind blows. Fireflies float in the air, completing the romantic mood of the spectral garden. The two big wolves surround her as if protecting her with their own lives. The queen of the Russian Mafia is laying her head on Petrushka's stomach-- the gentler wolf of the two. She sleeps peacefully on his warm and snowlike fur while he maintains his protective instinct. Valkyre, the alpha, is standing proud and mighty as if making known that whoever will dare step inside his domain shall know of his wrath and power.
Artan Bogdani and Axel De Alba are on the wooden table several feet away from where Belle and the wolves are situated. They are having drinks when Nikolai and Alexei arrived.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
