Chapter 39


    Belle''s POV


    After telling the story, a long somber silence filled the air. I can hear from the other side of the door that


    Amy is weeping. I found myself tearing as well.


    I run my palm to wipe the tears off of my face.


    "It''s okay if you won''t talk to me. I''ll just give away these VIP tickets for Dara''s concert. I won''t be


    enjoying without you anyway."


    I suddenly heard a gasp of surprise from Amy.


    "Yup! VIP tickets, Dara concert and a chance to meet them in person, but you know, my bestfriend


    wont talk to me. What a waste." I teased Amy even more.


    I then slip the tickets through the tiny gap between the door and the floor. I wiggled the tickets first then


    ced them still. A few secondster I see that the tickets are being pulled from the inside. A smile is


    now forming on my face.


    Momentster the door slowly opened. Amy and I are now face to face. She''s looking at me intently


    while a smile is forming on her face.


    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" We squealed in unison.


    Amy and I hugged each other tight and jumped in dness. All of a sudden Dn, Ivan and Vasily


    quickly ran inside to see what has happened. Ivan and Vasily had guns in their hands. When they saw


    us, the two ced back their guns on their backs. Dn just shook his head and smiled on us.


    "I was notplete without you A."


    "I know I know." Amy said arrogantly.


    "The story you told, that was pretty tragic and too close to your reality B."


    I just smiled at Amy in response. She doesn''t know even half of my reality. Mine and Niki''s reality.


    She now ces the tickets on her chest, hugging them tight.


    "Thank you B!!!! This is sooooo awesome! Dara! The Dara!" She ces her index and middle finger on


    the side of her eye in dness.


    I''m so happy to see Amy like this. I cant imagine my life without her. I owe a lot to my bestfriend. And


    I''m going to make it up to her the best way that I can.


    "How did you get these? The show had been sold out months ago. And the event is by invitation only,


    what in the world did you do B?"


    He looked at me like she realized something. "Oh right, you''re the queen of the Russian Mafia, of


    course." Said Amy.


    It was Alexei actually. I just requested the tickets from him and in just a few hours, I already have them


    in my hands. The perks of being around the kings of the underground world.


    "Hey let''s have lunch A. Look!" I raised the lunch bag Niki sent for me.


    "Whats that?" Amy said. Her eyebrows are crinkled while pouting her lips.


    "My lunch. Niki sent it for me." I don''t know why but I''m so happy and proud because of the lunch


    sent for me by Niki.


    Amy shook her head."That Niki got it bad for you B. And look at you, you look like a lovesick


    unicorn." I giggled in response.


    After eating our lunch, we left Ivan and Vasily to eat as well in the kitchen. Amy and I are now in our


    room cuddling.


    "Hey A, I have a proposal to make but I want you to say yes before you could even hear what I have to


    say."


    "Yes B. I want to marry you. We will be a one big happy family. I will act as the father and you will be


    the mother, considering your boobs and all, you can sufficiently produce milk that could feed a whole


    tribe of African kids."


    My lips parted to Amy''s silliness. "A!!!!! Stop fooling around and leave my breasts alone. I am being


    serious here!"


    Amyugh out loud like a crazy hyena.


    "Fine fine, geez, calm yo tits B!" She looks at me teasingly. "Calm yo tits, see what I did there?" She


    continued. Yup, my bestfriend is back to her crazy self.


    "What if we fly Ana here? I''ll take care of everything. What do you think?"


    "B, Ana is okay. I called her doctor and he said she''s now recovering."


    Oh my gosh, my heart is suddenly filled with joy. "Really? I''m so happy to hear that A!!!"


    "She responded well to the meds after the stroke. She''s just gonna be fine. In fact we talked a few


    hours before you arrived. She doesn''t want me toe home yet B. She''s happy that my brother and I


    are here together."


    We were interrupted by a knock on the door. It''s Dn and he looks fresh from the shower. He is


    wearing a ck shirt and jeans. He opened the door slightly to speak.


    "Belle, can we talk?"


    "Sure Dy. Come." I signaled him to sit beside me. Amy attempted to stand up and go out of the room.


    "No A. The two outside will tell Niki that Dn and I are left alone in a room. I will have a hard time


    exining to Niki. He''s not really that open minded kind of guy."


    "You mean B1 and B2 outside? Don''t worry I''ll hide at Dn''s room." Amy let''s out a wink. I just


    chuckle at Amy''s silliness.


    I scooted over to sit on the corner of the bed. Dn sat right beside me while holding my hand.


    "Belle, I''m going to tell you the whole truth. I have been carrying this in my heart and it''s slowly eating


    me up."


    "What do you mean Dy?"


    "The time that you saw me with another girl. I had to do it. I had to end our rtionship that night. I


    didn''t have a choice. I was up against the whole Russian mob, they threatened to kill me and everyone


    close to me if I didn''t let you go."


    My heart sunk to Dn''s confession. "You mean Niki threatened to kill you?"


    "It was Alexei, he was the one calling the shots."


    Oh my god. Alexei.


    "I''m so sorry for dragging you into this Dy. I now understand. To be honest, I tried to work it out with


    you. I really did, but I was and still am in love with Niki. I''m sorry Dy."


    Dn looks defeated. He let''s out a faint smile and replied, "It''s okay Belle. Perhaps in the next life?".


    "Perhaps Dy." I squeezed his hand tight while looking him in his eyes.


    "Can I still keep this?" He held the pendant I gave him, while rubbing his finger on top of it.


    "Of course Dy. You might be my ex boyfriend but you were first my dearest Dn and will forever be


    my second bestfriend. You know why your just second right?"


    Dn lets out a sweet smile.


    "Wow I never thought I would ever be ced in the freindzone. I guess this is the price I have to pay for


    aiming too high."


    "Dy!"


    "I''m kidding. I''m still friendzoned though."


    I smack him on his shoulder. "Correction, bestfriendzoned." I said to him teasingly.


    "Ouch, that''s even worse than friendzoned."


    "Of course not."


    To my surprise Dn nted a kiss on my lips. I instantly breathed in Dn''s signature sexy scent.


    Dammit, why you so hot and sexy Dy? He cupped my face as he slowly removes his lips from mine.


    I wanted to get mad at him but I just cant seem to find it in me to hate Dn.


    "Now your back at the friendzone, no bestfriendzoned for you Dy!"


    "The demotion was worth it." Said Dn while sporting a wicked smirk on his face.

    "Ouch A! Are you still mad at me? Take it slow!" I swear my scalp already hurts from the small hair pins


    Amy is cing on my hair to hold my hair together and make it appear that it has been cut above my


    shoulder level, creating a faux bob.


    "Sit still B! I won''t be able to finish if your moving your pretty head."


    "Yah? Well who''s idea is this in the first ce?"


    "Yadda yadda, you talk too much B. Shush!"


    Dn is in our bed, lying on his side while resting his head on his palm. He is looking at us all amused.


    "Belle is beautiful just the way she is Ames, there''s no need for that." Said Dn butting in.


    I nced at Dn while smiling at him. Dn winks at me in response.


    "Could you two just shush!"


    A giggle escaped my mouth because of Amy. Her neck veins are already showing because of


    frustration.

    "Love you A."


    Dn softly chuckles as he exits the room while looking at our direction.


    ~


    I''m looking at the bracelet Alexei gave me. It''s just too beautiful. The little diamonds hanging around the


    bracelet and the red daisy ruby pendant are glittering like stars in the night sky. I then held the ne


    my Niki gave me. He ced it back on me after I got out of the shower this morning. I know this


    ne has a more perverted and stalkerish purpose but I allowed Niki to put it back on anyway.


    To be honest, I feel safer knowing that my Niki is with me anywhere I go.


    "You''re done B!" Amy said excitedly. I looked at myself in the mirror and was instantly amazed by the


    magic my bestfriend was able to do to my hair. Wow, I never thought a medium length hair would


    actually look good in me.


    Ivan knocked on the door and entered the room.


    "Madamme, it''s the Boss."


    I took the phone from him and answered the call.


    "Niki.."


    "I have been calling you." Niki sounds like his patience is running out.


    "You know baby, you really pull nerves in my body I never thought existed. Is this your way of punishing


    me?" Said Niki. Geeez what has gotten into him?


    "Niki, I still wasn''t able to check my phone. I''m sure it''s just around here somewhere."


    Amy handed my phone to me which she took from the drawer on our right side.


    "I''m here." Niki said. My heart suddenly jumped from my chest. Niki''s here.


    I''m quite nervous because finally Amy and Dn will formally meet Niki, the Russian Mafia Boss


    himself, on the flesh.
