Her Volkovs #Book 3

Belle's POV

We arrived in New York the following morning. I asked Nikolai if I can go straight to Amy's before we move out of the old house. He told me it's fine and that he will just come pick me up after his meeting with Dimitri at the warehouse.

Nikolai said that Yuri will be my personal bodyguard in the meantime and that he added four more security details for me. Although I know that two of the four are Alexei's own men.

I have to tell my bestfriend about what has really happened prior to this. I'm going to tell her that Nikolai and I got married that same night of Matushka's Party and that the real reason why we went went to Russia is because it was supposedly our honeymoon.

I know she's going to freak out if she finds out that she wont be able to fulfill one of her life long dreams to throw me a bachelorette party and become the best maid of honor in the history of maids of honor-- from her own words.

When I opened the door, I instantly saw my bestfriend having a girl time with some other girl. They are doing their nails and they have curlers twisted on top of their heads. How convenient!

Amy's POV

Shit! Of all the time to surprise me with her presence. Why the hell now? Gah! Look at her, she is simmering with jealousy.

She's always been so possessive when it comes to me and practically everyone dear to her. Like her cousin Devon. The poor guy once tried to introduce a girl to B on one ocassion, B played it cool of course-- tried her best not to show what she feels, but I know her too well. Every curve of her lips, roll of her eyes and twitch of her eyebrows. She did not speak to her cousin after that for quite a long time. Since then, Devon never brought nor mentioned any girl he dated when he's with his unbelievably jealous daughter-of-a-dictator cousin.

When it comes to me, well, lets just say she's more unreserved and upfront. She will really show me that she does not appreciate the other person hanging around with me. Since we became best friends I never really gained other close friends. Just acquiantances that she approved of.

This might be because she's so freaking used to owning attention all by herself, as the only child and the apple of the eyes of basically everyone around her. Of course she doesnt realize she's being like that. Just like how she was clueless about Alexei having feelings for her etc.

I have long accepted this unique side of her. In fact, I find it kind of cute.

The only problem with this odd side of her is the fact that she's pregnant. Everything the she says or do becomes magnified a hundred times more. She can actually murder a person and get away with it. She will just have to claim insanity. It's kind of funny really but so true.

"B! Youre here! I thought your in Moscow?"

She crossed her arms in front of her and answered, "Four words-- Nikolai. Billionaire. Private Jet."

What. A. Basic. Bitch.

Pregnant hormones made her a tigress. I'm a proud momma.

"Great!" Is the only word that came out of my mouth.

"I want to spend some time with my bestfriend but---" She turns her head toward this poor thing named Kiara who lives across the street, and I happen to find really funny so I asked her if she wants to hang ou since I was bored and unemployed--big mistake by the way.

"--you already look like you are having so much fun without me." She continued.

See, when it comes to protecting our bestfriendship you can be sure as hell this pregers will go full hormonal bitch.

"What's the matter Bestie? Who is she? You can tell her to come back later." Inserted Kiara.

Aaaaand that ladies and gentlemen is the cue to Pregerzilla.

"Bestie?! Wow! What's next, youre gonna make out with her too?" B said all bitchy, his lips are twitching and swaying in agitation.

"Oooh, we can make out?" Inserted Kiara once again. Urgh! This woman seriously!

"Shut up!" Me and my bestfriend yelled at her in unison. The poor thing raised her hands looking horrified.

Belle's POV

"B!!! Stop! Where are you going?!"

"Somewhere without you!" I walked as fast as I can back to the two SUVs.

"Come back here now!" She almost yelled.

"No! Go back to your new bestfriend!" I yelled back.

"Goodness B! She's not my bestfriend okay?!"

"Tell her that!"

"B! Youre being ridiculous!"

Yuri is already standing next to our SUV, "Madame, are you okay?"

"Let's go Yuri. Please tell the driver I want to go now." I shut the door and made sure that A wont be able to catch me.

Yuri instantly went inside and sat at the front passenger seat. When the driver is about to accelerate, my deranged bestfriend stood right in front of our SUV, spread her arms wide open and closed her eyes. She wants to die.

And then, to my utter horror, she climbed up the hood and plastered her face on the wind shield. Oh my god. She's beyond crazy.

"Uh, Madame?" Asked the driver, all wierded out.

At this point, I know that I really don't have a choice but to give in. She just literally threw herself to the SUV just so I will be forced to stay. My heart just melted like a heated marshmallow.

We went inside her room and cuddled in bed. "I'm sorry B. I love you." She said.

She then kissed me on my lips and I kissed her back."I love you too A. Uhm.. I have to tell you something. Do not freak out okay?"

"Ooookay. Youre acting weird. I'm nervous." She retorted.

"Okay. So. Nikolai-"

"Uh-oh. When your sentence starts with the name of the Ultra Boss it usually doesnt end well. What did he do now?"

I inhaled deep and sighed, "We got married."

"What?" She said, her voice is shaky, and I think she's about to cry.

"Nikolai and I got married. I'm officially Mrs. Volkov."

She cried a good five minutes non-stop before finally coming back to her senses.

"I'm sorry B, I'm just so sad because

I wasnt even invited to my own bestfriend's wedding. I feel so left out! I was supposed to see you in your wedding gown! I was supposed to be your maid of honor! I was

supposed to prepare your bridal

shower! I was supposed to catch your bouquet!"

I completely understand what she's feeling. Her reaction reminded me of my own family, my parents. Ma and Pa doesnt have a single clue that their daughter is one-- pregnant and two was forced into marriage. dread the day when I have to tell

them.

On the other hand, I told my bestfriend everything that transpired that night. I also told her about Yrina and her father, Sergey Yvanislov. And what I think Nikolai and Alexei are planning to do to them. "Goodness B. Youre stuck in an abusive relationship with a control freak. Are you a masochist? Because the way I see it, you clearly are one."

"He's the father of my baby. I can't just leave him specially now that he is going through something. He needs me more than ever."

"What about Alexei?"

This time, I was the one sobbing my heart out to my bestfriend.

"What happened B? Oh my gosh, are you okay?"

"Alexei and I broke up."

The throbbing pain of my break up with Alexei is very raw in my heart. Forever and ever between the three of us was never meant to happen because Alexei was never in love with me in the first place.

Amy's POV

My bestfriend is inside my room sleeping when Nikolai, her apparent husband, arrived to fetch her.

"She's not fine Nikolai. She cried herself to sleep. This is not good for the baby. She's under tremendous stress because of you and Alexei. She has bruises all over her body for goodness sakes! What were the three of you thinking?!"

"I'm going to take her home." Nikolai replied. Judging by his demeanor, the Ultra Boss is as stressed out as my bestfriend. For once, I found myself feeling bad for this Mafia Boss.

Just when Nikolai was about to step inside my room, Alexei the Extra Boss came barging in the house. Our door slammed wide open as he went past Yuri and the other boys, pushing his way inside. "Where is she?" He asked.

"Alexei? What are you doing here? She doesnt want to see you!" I whisper screamed. The stench of liquor became too evident as he nears our direction. Oh my gosh. This man has been drinking. "What the fuck happened to you?!" Scowled Nikolai.

Alexei just walks past us and continued rambling, completely ignoring Nikolai. "I want to see my princess. I want to talk to her!"

This time, the Russian Mafia Boss pulls Alexei back outside the door, "Get your shit together brother!" He grimaced, frustration painted all over his face.

Alexei grabs Nikolai by his collar and rested his forehead on his brother's shoulder as if begging, "Let me see her brother! I just want to see my princess Belle."

Nikolai finally sighs in defeat, "Okay." He said, tapping Alexei's shoulder as he allows him to enter the room to see her.

Alexei walks slowly towards the bed where B is sleeping peacefully.

It took a lot in me not to break down

and cry to see him down on his knees on the floor as he brushes B's face with his fingers gently, longingly. He then drops his head next to her, face down, while holding

her hand tightly like he never want to let go.
