Chapter 40


    Belle''s POV


    I nced at the window and I see two ck SUVs pull over next to the car Niki assigned for me.


    Yuri went out of the vehicle first and opened the car door for Niki.


    I intertwined my hands in front of my breast and took a deep breath. This is it.


    "Hey A...e, I''m going to introduce you to Niki."


    Amy crinkled her eyebrows while sporting a smile. "Yah? The Niki himself? The Mafia Boss? Your


    demigod boyfriend?"


    I just smile in response at Amy''s silliness. I grabbed her hand and walked towards the living room.


    Dn is already in the couch while Ivan and Vasily are outside.


    A few seconds past, the door was opened by Ivan for Niki.


    The living room instantly filled up with Niki''s inexplicable godlike presence. I feel like my abdomen


    instantly tingled in response.


    The man whopletely owns my heart and soul is standing at the door, looking at me intently. He is


    wearing a navy blue suit with a vest inside. His beautiful green eyes, his tattoos peeking from his wrist


    and cor and his overall maic presence is slowly overwhelming me.


    Niki entered the living room and walked towards my direction. His attention is focused on me while


    on his face.


    What is up with him?


    "Why did you cut your hair without my permission?" Niki said sounding all mad.


    Geez... so its because of my hair.


    "Niki, I did not cut my hair. Amy styled it to make it appear shorter."


    His expression slowly toned down as I exined to him. Niki continued to wrap his arms around me


    while pulling me close to him. Dammit, he really smells so damn good.


    "I want you to meet my bestfriend Amy." I said while removing myself from Niki''s embrace.


    When I turned around, I swear Amy''s eyes are glittering while looking at Niki like she saw Santa or


    something.


    "A..." I tried to catch her attention.


    Niki''s lips are pulled to the side as he reached to shake Amy''s hand. "Hello Amy, its a pleasure to


    finally meet you."


    Amy shook Niki''s hand back.


    "Hello Niki. Finally, we have met." Amy said, she''s trying so hard to have a poker face but knowing


    my bestfriend, deep inside her, she''s already struggling to keep it together. She''s just too transparent.


    "Niki this is Dn, Amy''s brother."


    I can feel the awkward silence when I introduced the two. Niki did not even hide his indifference


    towards Dn. He just looks at him. Dn himself did not even bother standing up from the couch.


    They just stare at each other. Oh my god. This is so awkward.


    I quickly interrupted their stare-down and took the attention of the love of my life.


    "Uh Niki, where are you taking me tonight?"


    "It''s a surprise. Shall we?"


    Niki held my hand on our way to his car.


    When we are already inside the SUV, Niki pulled me to hisp and wrapped his arms around me.


    "I miss your sweet smell baby." Niki spoke near my right ear it instantly gave me goosebumps. He


    nts small kisses on my neck and cheek as he breathes in. I can already feel his cock grow hard from


    his pants.


    I nced at Yuri and Boris in front and they are just looking straight on the road.


    "Niki..."


    "Hmmm...?" Niki ran his hand on my thigh where the slit of my dress is situated.


    "Thank you for the lunch you sent for me." I said while I feel my face blush. Niki lets out a smile in


    response.


    All of a sudden my phone buzzed. I tried to reached for my phone from my purse but Niki tugged me


    back to him.


    "Niki, Ill just take this please." He lets out a frustrated sigh but still did not let go of me. A smile


    formed on my face as Niki acts like a teenage boy.


    When I answered the call, I quickly removed it from my ear because Amy is screaming on the other


    side of the line.


    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! B!!!!!!! Niki is indeed a demigod!!!!! The pictures of him did not even give


    justice to that face!!!! He is drop dead gorgeous. Omg B!" Amy sounds hysterical as she spoke


    profanities in ournguage.


    "Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! B!!!! Are you there?"


    I decided to speak to Amy in our nativenguage so that Niki would not be able to figure out that we


    are talking about him.


    "He also smells good A." I giggled. Niki continues kissing and running his hand all over my body. I


    feel like I''m already running out of breath.


    "Yah? Omg!!!!!" Said Amy.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "What is he doing now?"


    "We are making out and you''re interrupting us." I chuckled. Amy lets out augh in response.


    "Really? Okay, well I''ll leave you two in kiss, I mean in peace." Amy said teasingly. We both giggled in


    unison. Amy dropped the call after throwing me a kiss.


    "Who was that?" Asked Niki while fondling me.


    "It''s Amy."


    "What did she say?" That you look like a demigod.


    "Nothing, she just said goodnight."


    I was about to ce my phone back to my purse when I realized I have got more than twenty missed


    calls and several unopened messages. When I checked it, it''s Dardan and another unknown number.


    Oh my gosh. I quickly turned off the phone.


    "What''s wrong?" Niki said, noticing my sudden change in mood.


    "Uh nothing Niki."


    ~


    A few minutester we arrived at Pauliana Hotel. Niki held my hand as we walked inside the grand


    entrance. Wow, this ce is really posh. There''s a long and winding chandelier in the lobby and


    everything around seem so shiny and luxurious.


    We were greeted at the entrance by a man in suit. He has sses on and he looks too formal.


    "Good evening Mr. Volkov, everything is all set."


    "Thank you." Said Niki.


    We walked towards the elevator. Yuri and Boris are following us from behind, while the man who


    greeted us walks ahead of us leading our way.


    While in the elevator, Niki grabs the small of my back, pulling me close to him. Boris, Yuri and the


    other guy are standing in front of us not saying a single word. A few minutester the elevator stopped


    at the topmost floor.


    Niki and I are now walking towards what seems to be an open air rectangr balcony. Right in the


    middle are the table and two chairs elegantly arranged. Tiny white lights are hanging around the


    railings of the balcony. They are moving like fireflies as the wind blows. A few rows of light bulbs are


    hanging on top of the balcony perfectlyplementing the overall surreal atmosphere of the ce.


    Niki took a bouquet of red daisies and baby''s breath from Yuri and handed it to me.


    "Thank you Niki."


    He lets out a smile in response. He held my hand as we slowly walk towards the balcony. My heart


    suddenly jumped when I realized that the balcony''s floor is actually made of ss material, effectively


    allowing us to see how high above we are from the ground. Oh god. My knees instantly wobbled. I


    quickly took a halt and grabbed Niki''s arm.


    "What''s wrong baby?"


    "I''m terrified of heights Niki." I have always been afraid of heights since I was a little girl. Few people


    know of this fact about me, unfortunately Niki is not one of them.


    My hands are already shaking. I have this frightening feeling that the floor is going to copse any


    moment soon. I feel like I am going to fall down.


    Niki quickly carried me in his arms and walked out of the balcony. He then ces me on the sofa.


    He cups my face while looking all worried. I feel like all the blood flushed away from my face.


    "I''m sorry. I should have known." Said Niki while he wraps his arms around me.


    "Niki, this is so sweet of you to have prepared all of these. I really love it."


    "Really?"


    "Uhuh. You have no idea how much you just made me so happy."


    "We''ll just have dinner in the restaurant, I promise no more heights." Said Niki, trying tofort me.


    "No Niki, can you just hold me tight while we go to the balcony?"


    I really don''t want to spoil this night just because of my stupid phobia. This is our very first date and I


    want this to be memorable. The love of my life prepared all of these, he has no idea how much I


    appreciate his effort.


    "Are you sure?"


    "Uhuh, you are my safe ce Niki."


    Niki''s beautiful green eyes looked at me like he''s longing to say something.


    "What did I ever do to deserve you baby?" Said Niki while running the back of his hand on my face. I


    just gave him a faint smile in response.


    "Are you ready?"


    I just nodded at Niki. He held my hand as we slowly step in the balcony.


    "Don''t look down okay?" Said Niki, while cupping my face.


    "Okay Niki."


    The moment we entered the balcony, I suddenly felt the wind blow my hair. I dare not look down. I can


    do this. I will not ruin our first date. My fear of heights will not ruin my first date. I just focused my


    attention at Niki''s face.


    "Your doing good. Almost there."


    When we took a halt, he instantly grabs me by my waist and pulled me tight to his body. We are now


    face to face. The wind is blowing my hair to the side as some strands cover my face.


    Niki guided my left hand to his right hand. I press my breast to his leftmost chest part then held his


    left shoulder with my right hand.


    To my surprise, the sound of a violin ying filled the air. Oh my gosh. Can this night be more perfect?


    The small lights around us are dancing with the blowing wind. Everything around looks even more


    dreamy and surreal.


    "I want to confess something." Said Niki without a hint of yfulness in his voice.


    I feel like my heart suddenly took a halt. What is he going to confess? All the bad thoughts are running


    in my mind right now.


    "What is it Niki?"


    "I was the one..."
