Chapter 19


    Belle''s POV


    Niki and Alexei instantly stood beside me while looking straight at the Albanian''s entourage. Artan


    and my future husband are now having a boastful staredown. I feel like my heart is beating a million


    times.


    I then carried Aria on my arms. The moment she sees Niki she instantly spreads her right arm


    gesturing Niki toe close to her.


    "Hi little princess." Said Niki to Aria.


    Aria is now wrapping her arms on both my and my future husband''s necks. To my surprise, the little


    angel kisses me and Niki on our cheeks one by one. I can see that Niki''s expression suddenly


    changed. I know Aria was able to get into Niki''s heart of steel.


    Aria then touches my headdress and hair while looking all amazed. The moment she saw my wings,


    her lips parted in awe.


    "Come my little angel, do you want to see mydybug and grasshopper friends as well?"


    Aria just nodded with a smile on her face.


    I then looked at Niki in the eyes.


    "Niki baby..."


    "It''s okay baby..." Said Niki.


    I nced at Artan while putting Aria down to stand. He''s looking at me intently. I then walk past him and


    his men while clutching Aria with my right hand.


    My insides are turning as we approach backstage. Vasily, Ivan and Artan''s two other men are following


    from behind.


    Dn is sitting in the middle of my boys and he looks like he was able to pacify the three except for


    Sylvester who has now a permanent frown on his face. Amy was done with arranging the costumes of


    my three girls. My bestfriend and my second bestfriend were surprisingly able to tame the kids.


    "Hello everyone, this is Aria. Aria these are my friends. Do you want to y with them?"


    The moment Amy heard Aria''s name, her eyes widened.


    Aria instantly hid behind my gown. I then knelt to her.


    "Hey it''s okay. You can stick with me instead if you want?"


    Aria just nodded at me as she nces in my kids direction. Amy quickly went in my direction and spoke


    to me in our nativenguage.


    "You mean?"


    "Yes, he''s here."


    "Omg! Where? Oh you''re so screwed B." Said Amy, teasing me.


    I shoot another re at her.


    Oh my gosh, could this night be more heart pounding?


    I then noticed my bestfriend nce at the back.


    "Uh-oh." Said Amy.


    "What Uh-oh?"


    When I looked back, I see Alexei approach our direction and he looks livid.


    Shit.


    Amy instantly grabs Aria from me. I quickly paced towards Alexei''s direction and stopped him.


    "Alexei, please, Dn is just here to help." I said with a low voice.


    "You could have told me you needed help. Don''t give me that shitty excuse."


    "Alexei please? Even just for tonight."


    "You fucking promised me."


    Oh my god. What is happening? Why is this happening to me? First Artan, now this.


    "I know, just please can we talk about thister?" My arms are now wrapped around Alexei''s waist.


    "What''s there to talk about? If you break your promise, I''m gonna have to break mine.You''re not giving


    me any choice Belle."


    Yup, he''s mad. He''s calling me by my name.


    At this point I don''t know how to ease down Alexei anymore so I justnded a kiss on his lips and looks


    at him in the eyes.


    "I love you Alexei."


    I can see that I''m slowly getting into my difficult Alexei. I let out the sweetest smile at him.


    "Talkter? I''ll let you spank me while we talk? I know I have been a bad bad girl tonight."


    His facial expression suddenly toned down.


    "Yah?"


    "Uhuh"


    Geeez the things that I would do. I know Alexei has a thing for spanking and my butt. That''s the only


    thing I can think of now to calm him down.


    My eyes widened when all of a sudden, Sylvester appeared from nowhere and makes the cutest punch


    on Alexei''s thigh and kicks him on his leg. I don''t know if I''m going to be horrified or smile in


    amusement.


    Alexei has a puzzled look on his face.


    "Hey big guy, what seems to be the problem? Do you have a problem with me?" Alexei said as he


    squats, meeting Sylvester eye to eye. My Alexei has now a smirk stered on his face.


    All of a sudden Sylvester wraps his arms around my thigh while looking at Alexei all too seriously.


    "So someone has a little crush. I can''t me you big guy, she''s really amazing. I''m sure we can both


    agree on that."


    I just shook my head at Alexei.


    "Listen to me. When you grow a little bigger and taller, you call me. I have a job for you." Said Alexei


    trying to pacify Sylvester.


    "Meantime, I want you to know that your teacher Belle is mine. Got it? Now scram." Alexei then stood


    up and signaled Sylvester to shoo away. My lips parted in horror.


    "Alexei!"


    "While still young he should learn to ept defeat, someday he will thank me for doing him a favor."


    I rolled my eyes at him. "He''s just a kid. Not to mention a very special kind of kid." I said while lowering


    my voice.


    Alexei just snorted while cing his hands inside his pockets.


    I carried Sylvester on my arms, he wraps his arms around my neck and rests his head on my shoulder.


    Oh god, this is going to be a long night.


    ~


    Amy and I are peeking from backstage. A few meters from us, Aria is sitting on Dn''sp, and they


    look like they are getting along very well. I must say, Dn has a way with kids. My kids are just


    behaving very well, perhaps a little frightened because of Ivan, Vasily and Artan''s men.


    "Omg B!!!! Is that him? Are you kidding me right now? Artan is smoking hot!"


    I just roll my eyes at Amy. Surprisingly, Artan is standing beside Niki to his left, while Alexei is on the


    right. They are holding sses of liquor in their hands. They seem to be talking and smirking from time


    to time. Their men are surrounding them inconspicuously. Oh god I just hope it will be like this for the


    rest of the night.


    "So that''s the man who''s obsessed with you. Or shall I say, THOSE are the men obsessed with you."


    Amy said referring to Niki, Alexei and Artan.


    Amy''s eyes are sparkling like she''s seeing a pink unicorn.


    "Wow, I am seeing three Mafia bosses at the same time. How cool is that?" Said Amy.


    ~


    Artan: Ah, Volkov trying to cripple my business by cutting me off from the cirction. You are way too


    over your head if you think you can destroy me just like that Volkov.


    Niki: Consider yourself lucky Artan. If not for my wife.......


    Artan: (Artan interrupts Niki and snorts) Your wife? I have reason to believe you have not tied her


    down to you yet.


    Niki''s grip on his ss tightened.


    Artan: ughs) So I''m right. She''s not your wife.


    Niki: She''s mine.


    Artan raises his hands in front of him, mocking Niki.


    Artan: Fucking her with your underboss? I must say I''m quite impressed. I should have known she''s


    into......that.


    Alexei attempted to step towards Artan but Niki signaled him not to.


    Niki: One more word about her and you''re done.


    Artan just smiles and drinks his scotch.


    ~


    "They seem to be just talking like good ol friends B." Said Amy.


    "I just hope they stay that way for the rest of the night A." I dont know why but I just have this very


    unsettling feeling about what''s really happening there.


    "Alright everyone! The program is about to start!" Said one of the teachers. "Teacher Belle your ss is


    going to perform after Teacher Lilly''s ss."


    I just nodded at her. I quickly went towards my kids. Amy took Aria from Dn.


    "B, you can do this."


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    "Thanks A, thanks Dy!"


    I then hugged and kissed Aria on her cheek.


    "I''ll see you in a while my little angel. Can you cheer for me and your friendster?"


    She just nods at me while cing her finger inside her mouth. I kissed her again before they left the


    backstage. It''s just me, my kids and I.V now in the corner waiting for our turn.


    We are now huddled as I give myst instructions. Ivan and Vasily are just standing next to us.


    "So, what will you do if you forgot the step?"


    "Look at teacher and follow!" Said the ever energetic Justin.


    "I want everybody to say it."


    "Look at teacher and follow!" All I heard were grumblings from my kids, but that''s good enough for me.


    "Very good. And if you make mistakes or get nervous, what should you remember?"


    "Teacher loves me no matter what!" Said my kids in unison.


    "Yes, teacher loves you no matter what."


    "And I have a surprise for everyone after our performance tonight."


    They all gasped in awe. They then sp their hands with glee.


    "I want toys!"


    "Yes toys!"


    "Me too!"


    "Okay okay... calm down. We will talk about the surpriseter."


    "Ms. Belle, your up!" Said the organizer.


    Oh gosh this is it.
