Chapter 31
Belle''s POV
The barbeque party is going very well. Some of the wives of the elders of the Russian Mafia introduced
themselves to me and offered their greetings and whatnots. I''m still in the middle of Niki and Alexei
at the center table. My boys are drinking and talking to di and others.
Most of Niki''s men are older than him and Alexei but the respect of his men towards the two despite
the age gap is undeniable. Niki and Alexei are treated like gods. And I''m not even exaggerating. The
words of Niki and Alexei are thews of the Russian Mafia.
There are some women, mostly blonde thin women that would almost offer themselves to my Noki
and Alexei judging by the way they look at them. I am actually surprised that there''s not a single pint of
jealousy or insecurity in my heart despite the fact that these two can get any woman that they want in
just a hand gesture. It could be because Niki and Alexei does not make me feel insecure at all.
These two are full on TEAM BELLE, all the way without hesitation, one hundred percent smitten on me
and only me. Niki said that Yrina is nothing to him, and I believe him. He said he needed to do
something for his father, and Im going to support him no matter what.
In our table is di''s family, the elders and their wives and other men. Im drinking iced tea because I
dont feel like drinking alcohol. Niki said this is just the first stop. In just a while, they will be bringing
me to other ces where the Russian Mafia do business and operates.
"Ahhh she''s here.. darling Natty,e over here." Said one of the elder''s wife. She''s sitting right next
to her husband at the very corner of the rectangr table to the left. She''s referring to Natasha. Yup,
the Natasha from Volkov Holdings. She nced at Niki and greeted him first then me and Alexei.
I nced at Niki and my future husband just smiled faintly and went back to his serious self, ignoring
the merrymaking of a wee that the woman did when Natasha arrived. I wonder how Natasha is
rted to the woman and the man. Natasha is wearing a ck dress that hugs her thin body. Her
golden blonde hair is tied into a pony tail while she''s clutching a purse in her hand.
"Papa." Natasha said while kissing the not so old man on his forehead.
Oh, so Natasha is one of the elder''s daughter. That might be the reason how she was able to work at
VH.
Her mother was ncing at Niki while talking to Natasha. The bitch, I mean Natasha on the other
hand just looks down and would nce in our direction from time to time.
"You haven''t eaten that much. Don''t you like the food? What do you want? Tell me." Said Niki while
his hand is wrapped around my back.
To be perfectly honest I have been wanting to eat but for some weird reason, my taste buds would not
cooperate with my enthusiasm.
"Here try this one. You will like this." Said Niki while stabbing a huge ass sausage and pointing it
towards my mouth. He is sporting a wicked grin while trying to be funny. I smack him on his arm and
pinched him very tightly.
"I think I prefer your sausage Niki. Can I have it instead?" I retorted.
Niki''s grin grew even wider.
"Sure, do you want mine with eggs on the side?"
I smack him again on his arm and shook my head in amusement. He is at it again.
To my surprise, Alexei slid his hand in between my thighs while his attention is in the other direction.
Niki saw it and quickly followed Alexei. I instantly remove their hands from my thighs while smiling
innocently.
I bent over to Alexei and whispered in his ear. "Behave."
The two however insisted on putting their hands on my thighs, so I just let it go and allowed them to do
what they want to do.
"Seems like just yesterday, my little Natasha and little Volkov used to y together when they where
little kids." Natasha''s mother said. It looks like she really didn''t mean any harm in reminiscing the past
but after what she said, there''s this awkward moment of silence lingering in the air. Some men
immediately looked down on their tes and some nced at me perhaps waiting for my reaction.
Niki instantly drinks his beer and made a few gulps. Alexei did the same thing. They both look like
they knew what''s going to happen next.
Hmmmm...so Niki and Natasha were childhood sweethearts? This exins a lot. This is why
Natasha hated my existence at VH. It is pretty obvious that Natasha has feelings for Niki. And it''s
also pretty obvious that Niki doesnt give a damn about her.
"Honey, why dont you get me some barbeque over there?" Said Natasha''s father to his wife trying to
break the ice. He then pats Natasha''s arm signaling her to go with her mother.
di attempted to salvage the situation by clearing his throat. "Who wants some borscht?" Said di
while being handed by his wife a huge bowl of red soup thingy with vegetables.
All of a sudden, my stomach turned and I feel like all the iced tea and food I have been eating are going
up my throat. Oh my gosh, what is that awful smell? I think Im going to pass out from its stink alone.
I feel like Im going to puke any moment now. I quickly covered my mouth and nose and dropped my
face on Niki''s shoulder.
"Hey, what''s wrong?" Said Niki, I can feel him breathe on my neck.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
"Niki, that awful stinking smell. Get rid of it please." I said while still burying my nose on my future
husband''s shoulder. It''s actually from that borscht di brought to the table.
Oh gosh, my lips went dry and I feel like all the blood rushed away from my face. Niki handed me a
ss of water and made me drink it.
"We''re going to the clinic." Said Niki all worried.
"No Niki, I''m okay. It was just that red soup. There''s nothing to worry about."
Alexei noticed what''s happening and said something to Niki in Russian.
"This is not the first time? What is happening baby?" Scolded Niki, after hearing what Alexei said.
"Niki, you''re overreacting. I''m okay."
Niki''s frown did not decipate from his face.
"What do you want? Do you want to eat rice?"
"Uhmm maybeter? I want some choctes with almonds and chips, the salty one and french fries."
My mouth is watering just by the thought of the food I just mention to Niki.
Niki instantly signaled di to get my request at once.
Niki crinkled his eyebrows and looks at me. "What''s up with choctes and salty chips?"
"Let me be Niki.."
"So my wife is not a fan of Russian food?" Said Niki to my ears.
A smile formed on my face and I retorted. "At least I''m a fan of Russian sausage." while I run my hand
on his bulge.
"Don''t tempt me baby." Said Niki.
"Or what Niki? You''re not gonna make love to me in front of your people aren''t you?"
I gasped for air when all of a sudden Niki made me sit on hisp and wrapped his right arm around
my waist while cing his other hand on my thigh.
"Don''t ever underestimate my craving for you Mrs. Volkov."
Niki kisses me on my lips. I then ced my hand on Niki''s nape and made small strokes with my
fingers as our lips lock.
"So, Natasha...she''s your childhood sweetheart."
"As far as I can remember I was not really a sweetheart kind of kid back then." Niki whispered while
nting small kisses on and around my left ear.
"Yah? How about now? What kind of a boy are you?" I said, while talking near his lips.
"I''m your exclusive sexual machine lover boy, 24/7 at your service maam." Said Niki and then
making a salute.
Alexei then instantly scooted over beside us and butts in.
"Can I join the party?"
"No." Said Niki and me in unison.
"That''s pretty mean." Said Alexei while crinkling his eyebrows. "Give me back my shirt." Alexei pulled
my shirt towards his direction while frowning like a kid.
Niki and I just chuckled at Alexei.
"Niki said he''s my exclusive sexual machine lover boy, how about you Alexei?" I asked teasingly.
"Hmm.. I''m your exclusive personal boy toy. You can exploit this..... anytime sweetie. " Said Alexei
while winking at me and raising his shirt and revealing his six-packs.
I just shook my head at the naughtiness and arrogance of these two.
