Chapter 22


    Belle''s POV


    I instructed the pilot to hover over the ind beforending. I just want to pinpoint the exact location of


    my husband first. I am here Niki, baby. Your wife is here. Where are you idiot? Did you really think


    sending me away is a good idea?


    So this is where the real Conglomerate meeting is taking ce. It''s like a fortress on a secluded ind.


    High stone walls, a friggin Castle in the middle, and open-air grounds where cars and several


    helicopters are parked. It''s beautiful really.


    There--- he-- is. The man with three legs. He''s standing with Alexei, Axel, and Artan. My legs are


    terribly shaking as I look down. Yet my phobia seems to be overpowered by my desire to teach Niki


    some very important lessons.


    I am fuming. My heart is about to explode in anger. He always does this. He keeps me in the blind all


    the time, all because he''s thinking that he''s protecting me.


    I held on to my seat as the helicopternds carefully. I ced my gun back in the holster as I prepare to


    step out. I''m not keen on the attention that I''m getting from the security people right now but it''s pretty


    hard to keep a low profile especially when you arrive in a goddam helicopter!


    My dress looks tamed even though the wind from the rotor of the helicopter is blowing really hard. I


    should thank Matushkater for this. It is mermaid cut, has a high slit showing my chubby legs and


    even chubbier thighs. And my boobs look amazing through thecey top. I undeniably look regal.


    Slutty--- but still regal.


    When I reached the foyer of the castle, Niki, Alexei, Axel, Artan, and their men are already on top of


    the stairs as if waiting for me. I was then halted by a woman who''s wearing a sexy blue dress. She''s a


    brte with piercing grey eyes, rouge lipstick, and a very noticeable tiger tattoo on her cleavage. She


    looks so badass and sexy at the same time. I saw her taking orders from Axel just a while ago. She


    must be one of Axel De Alba''s people.


    "Mrs. Volkov, surrender any concealed weapons please." She said waiting for me to hand over my gun.


    Niki and Alexei said that I should always protect myself. There is no way I''m surrendering my gun to


    her.


    "Get out of my way." I retorted.


    "Mrs. Volkov, it''s protocol. Everyone in this organization follows protocol. That means, even Volkov''s


    wife should follow the rules. No weapons in the meeting. Security of everyone is guaranteed by the


    host." She replied.


    "What makes you think I have a weapon to surrender?" Shit. I can see from my position that Niki is


    already getting agitated and Alexei is looking at Axel all annoyed. Oh my goodness. I should really drop


    this before my husbands overreact to the situation.


    Before I could even decide, the woman took me by surprise by bending down to search me from my


    ankles with both of her hands. She''s looking me in the eye as she drops in front of me.


    Her palms gently brushed my skin, sliding with ease up to the back of my knees to my thighs. Her lips


    slightly pulled to the side in a naughty smile when she felt the holster of my gun. She stood up, pulled


    me by my waist until there was not an inch of space between the two of us.


    Her other hand crawled under my dress while her eyes are still focused on my face. I felt her unhook


    my gun from the holster and showed me that she got it. She winked at me mischievously while handing


    the gun to one of Axel''s men. I just bit my lower lip in embarrassment.


    I thought that was over but then she signaled using her finger that I turn my back. Of course I did not


    submit.


    "Suit yourself." She said with her thick Spanish ent. She again pulled me to her and then reached


    for my bum and stayed there for a good several seconds before gliding her palms up my back, down

    my waist, and then to my sides, all the way up the side of my breasts.


    I feel like any moment from now this woman is going to make out with me. This is way beyond a normal


    pat-down. I mean she''s sexy and all but I just don''t roll that way. My best friend and I would kiss but it''s


    nothing awkward or weird like this. But then again, I can see that the people around us are waiting for


    my reaction so I decided to just y it cool to get this little show done and over with.


    I leaned forward so our faces are just inches away. Her longshes fluttered in amazement. I touched


    her lips with my fingertips slowly and gently and then traced the curve of her jaw. "Are we good?" I


    asked as seductively as I can. She was left speechless and so I took the chance to get away. I


    removed myself from her arms and left her there.


    I went straight towards my husband who is now smoking a cigar right next to his brother. Alexei just


    downed a ss of hard liquor as Ie near them.


    "A word, Niki, Alexei." I said as calmly as I can. In truth, my heart wants to explode in anger. I know


    that Alexei, the other love of my life is not to be med for this. I know this is all Niki. He is the devil


    as between him and his brother. I am a hundred percent sure of that. Still, I am so mad at him for


    agreeing to his brother in sending me away. It means that he also doesn''t believe that I can protect


    myself in the wives'' meeting.


    Niki tried to reach for the small of my back as we walk side by side but I instantly refused him. I hate


    him so much. I can''t even stand looking at his beautiful godly face.


    Axel and Artan excused themselves to go back inside the meeting rooms. I just waited for a few more


    seconds so I can do what I have been wanting to do since my helicopter ride. I asked for some privacy


    from Yuri, Boris, and Dimitri, they obliged and turn their backs on us.


    Niki attempted to grab me once again but I swatted his hand off of me. I looked him straight in the


    eye and punched him in the face as hard as I can.


    He looked to the side when my punchnded. My hand is shaking and I feel like the back of my hand is


    going to bleed. I held on to his tuxedo tightly and looked him straight in the eyes.


    "If you can''t respect me as your wife, I''m getting a divorce. So don''t fuck with me again Niki."


    I let go of him and warned the two not to touch me or else I''m going home to Pwi at once and they


    will never see me again and our babies. They know for a fact that I can make that happen.


    "Hey, can you take me to the Wives'' Meeting?" I said a little louder to the woman in a blue dress and a


    tiger tattoo. She obliged much to her glee.


    Matushka looked like she''s already waiting for me at the wives table. She''s standing right next to an


    empty seat with a smile on her face. She looked so proud of me foring through. If there''s one


    person who is all for women ruling the world, it would be Matushka. One of the toughest women I have


    ever known in my life.


    Everyone has settled and only the soft sound of the jazz band ying and the asional chattering


    from the Bosses'' table can be heard. There are three empty chairs at the table, and I think I have an


    idea to whom the chairs belong to. One chair is abination of gold and red velvet, the other one is


    royal blue and diamond and the other one is abination of white, gold, and dark green with a


    monogram V etched on it.


    "Princess, you have made Matushka really proud tonight. Remember, you are Volkov''s Queen. Show


    these lousy bitches how it''s done. Now go on, take a seat on your throne."


    "Thank you Matushka. But where are you going?"


    "My sweet sweet princess. It''s time for Matushka to retire from the Conglomerate wives table. My time


    has passed. But don''t worry, I will be there with my boys to watch over you."


    The one presiding over the wives'' meeting rang a small ss bell to get the attention of everyone. She


    was ncing over at us and clearing her throat being all righteous and snobby. She reminds me so


    much of those Stepford wives. The perfect- cupcake baking--Chanel N°5 Eau de parfum -wearing kind


    of wives.


    "We have been interrupted, but let us not lost focus on the important matters that we have lined up.


    Shall we?" Said Mrs. Stepford as if she did not see me approach the table. Yikes.


    No matter. I sat on my rightful seatfortably and crossed my legs over the other effectively showing


    my chubby thighs which I am rather proud of. I did not care about the judging stareing from the


    other wives who look like Matushka''s age. At this point, I feel like nothing can actually intimidate me.


    Not even all of these wivesbined.


    I mean I just punched the Russian Mafia Boss in his face. Is there anything else I cannot do? Although


    I highly doubt if I will get away with it judging by how Niki is looking at me right now. His dark green


    eyes have turned even darker and I think I know what that devil is thinking at this precise moment.
