Chapter 28
Belle''s POV
After our first sexual intercourse as husband and wife, we were like inseparable lovebirds. Alexei
wouldn''t even let me leave his side while we wait for his brother to arrive. We made love but it was not
the usual that would leave me all bruised after. He was very gentle and sensual. It''s like our bodies
moved in perfect sync and we both had mind-blowing orgasms after. It was tantric. It was pure love and
ecstasy.
While snuggled up with each other in one of the couches, I noticed that the flight attendants huddle and
fixed themselves once again, lining up as if waiting for another guest toe. I think I know who is
the tarmac. The first one toe out of the limo is Axel De Alba and then my husband. They talked for
a while before Niki slowly walks his way up to our jet. I know it will be hard for him to climb up the
stairs so I asked Alexei if we both could help Niki. I know for a fact that his brother is very stubborn
especially when people try to offer him help. He just would not budge.
Alexei insists that I stay on the ne as he helps his brother walk up the stairs. So I just stood here
feeling all the guilt of shooting my husband, the very reason why he is temporarily a disabled Volkov.
Niki''s other arm is leaning against his brother while holding his cane in his other hand. Boris, Yuri,
and Dimitri are all walking behind the brothers like it''s a friggin'' procession.
I have noticed that Axel De Alba hasn''t got into his limousine yet and I think he''s looking in my
direction. If I really think about it, he''s not that bad. Just pure evil maybe, same as my husband but
somewhere in there, I know there''s a soft side. He waved at me with a smile on his face and so I
waved back at him. I haven''t thanked him yet for officiating and preparing for my wedding with Alexei.
He appears to be holding out a ck card as if showing it to me. It was then that I remember the ck
calling card he gave me when he delivered food and pretended to be Sebastian the food delivery guy
when in fact he''s Sebastian Axel De Alba, the head of the Cabana Cartel, the most dangerous criminal
organization in Latin America.

Niki and Alexei talking in Russian while Belle is sitting right across Boris on the other side of the
aisle. She''s looking at him intently as the big man eats a hamburger which is supposed to be hers. It
was Niki who bought Colombian Mcdonald''s for Belle on his way to the airport. The Russian Mafia
Boss was not yet made aware of the OBGYN''s advice against junk food for Belle.
Niki: (Snickers) Look at her.
Alexei: You should have seen her face when I told her she should eat fruits instead. Her eyes were
fucking twitching in annoyance.
Niki: Can''t me the fucking Colombian and Albanian if they want her.
Alexei: Speaking of the Colombian. Does he have information about the Yvanislov''s?
Niki: He will be in New York this week. We will confirm information about the old man Yvanislov
being in government custody seeking refuge with the Feds in exchange for insider information about
the Russian Mafia.
Alexei: We have a mob war waiting for us at home and the feds might be tailing our business as we
speak. If it''s just me and you, I would not mind but we have someone to protect. She''s going to be the
number one target, brother.
Niki: We do what we always do best. Eliminate anyone who gets in our way. Protect the family.
(Looks at Belle) She''s our priority.
Alexei: Yuri, are contingency ns alreadyid out?
Yuri: I handled it. The elders have been alerted. New York is fully covered. Also, Vasily and Ivan are
back in the mansion. They have been briefed.
Dimitri: You sure about Ivan and Vasily? You know, considering...
Alexei: They have learned their lesson. Is that right Yuri? You know, considering...
Dimitri: (Scoffs and smiles while looking at Yuri teasingly) I feel like a fucking saint. Damn, am I the only
one who has not touched the forbidden fruit?
Yuri, Alexei and Niki all have small smiles stered on their faces finding the humor lighthearted yet
very true. They shook their heads, drank their Vodka as all have one thing in mind.
Dimitri: Shit! Of course! (As if realizing something) Boris! The fucking giant hasn''t touched the forbidden
fruit!
They all looked at Boris in unison. The big man ced a piece of French fries in between two napkins
and the half part of the hamburger and then slides it towards his Madame as if handing contraband.

Belle''s POV
I am slowly showing. I can already notice my bump. Although I think if other people look at me they
would just assume that this is just my belly fat showing. Regardless, I am still beautiful said Niki and
Alexei.
I''m in front of the mirror as big as our wall while I put on my clothes. My husbands are waiting for me
for breakfast. Since arrivingst night, I have noticed that security has been heightened in the mansion.
Our security details have tripled and Niki said that I will have two more bodyguardsing. It must
be because of the Mob war going on between us and the Germans, courtesy of yours truly. Still I would
not back down from it.
I am wearing casual high waist ck shorts and a white off-shoulder crop top. I do not have ns of
going out today. I just want to spend the rest of the day in the mansion to roam around. I want to see
every corner of this huge property that we call home.
"Good morning loves!" I said with glee as I approach the breakfast table in the garden just outside the
mansion. I then kiss Niki and Alexei on their lips one by one and then sat right in the middle of the
two.
Niki has ck-framed eyesses on while reading the newspaper-- such an old school kind of man
by the way. Alexei is wearing ck sunsses looking as gorgeous as his brother, only that he''s the
kind that smiles a little bit more. Both equally hot and dangerous. The best part is, I am married to them
both.
Niki instantly puts down the newspaper and scooped a considerable amount of rice and veggies on
my te while his brother took a knife and sliced the apple in four parts and ced it on my te as
well.
"Thank you but, I''m just pregnant. I am not sick."
"Eat your breakfast. End of." Niki said dismissively.
I try so hard not to roll back my eyes. You are a dick Niki. End of.
While my good morning is being tested by my husband, I noticed a brte woman sitting right next to
Yuri. She is actually beautiful--the innocent kind of beautiful. They are talking and enjoying each other''s
Wow. That was fast. So Yuri has a girlfriend now? I thought they could not have rtionships? What is
going on?
I pulled the other side of the newspaper Niki''s holding and then inserted my head so that others
could not see me gossip. "Who is that woman kissing Yuri?" I whisper talk.
"His fiance'' I guess." Niki replied with a low voice while still reading.
"So they are allowed to be in rtionships and marry now? Is that it?" Somehow I feel happy for these
men. Finally, they will be able to live like normal people. Since the beginning, I wasn''t a big fan of the
rule that Papa Vyachev imposed upon the boys in terms of not having rtionships. If this is now the
case, I think this is a wee development.
"Only Yuri. We had a deal." He replied straightforwardly.
"What deal?" I asked, still whisper talking.
"I can''t tell you. It was a gentleman''s agreement." He retorted.
I did not insist further and decided to let it go. I just continued cing blueberry jam on top of Alexei''s
pancakes trying my best not to look at the anomalous rtionship sitting across the table.

Third persons POV
Belle is swimming with the wolves in the pool. Niki made sure it was specially made for her height so
that she doesn''t drown since she doesn''t know how to swim. It is one of several pools installed in the
Volkov estate.
Friend: That''s Mrs. Volkov? The woman in the paintings and pictures all over the mansion? The wife of
the Big Boss and the Underboss? I have never seen her this close.
Taty: Yes, that''s her. The Bosses are very protective of her. She''s always surrounded by bodyguards.
She even has a bodyguard when she goes to the bathroom. No one can touch or talk to her except for
those trusted by her and the Big Boss. I think it''s too much. She''s like in a gold and marble prison.
Friend: I wouldn''t mind if I were her. She has everything she wants. She has two husbands who take
care of her. And I have heard rumors about a secret room in the mansion where she keeps all the gifts
from Volkov like pieces of jewelry and shoes and beautiful designer clothes, shoes and bags. Have you
seen it yet Taty?
Taty: No. I can''t just go around the mansion freely. I''ve been trying to befriend her but she doesn''t seem
to care about me. And she doesn''t talk much. She has her own world.
Friend: You''ve been here a few days. You''ll find your way with her.
Taty: I don''t know if I still have time to do that. Yuri and I are leaving the mansion soon.
Friend: What? When is that? But I still like visiting you here! This ce is so posh and rich! Don''t you
like it here?
Taty: It''s not like I get to decide. Once we get engaged, my life here in the Volkov mansion is over even
before it begins.
Friend: So I have heard that the men in the mansion aren''t supposed to get married. And if they do
insist, they are either dead or out, not only in the mansion but also out of the Mafia. You''re back to the
pole again.
Taty: (Looks at her friend sternly) Yuri has his own money. All the men in this mansion are filthy rich!
Friend: Sorry. I''m just saying, people in Kovrov think that you''ve made it big now because you''re
connected to Yuri, the third man in line in the Mafia. And he is so hot like, is he even human? He''s like
a man who only exists in every woman''s imagination. And he has quite the bad boy reputation too.
Taty: Yeah. He is but he''s not the Big Boss and the Underboss. (Bites her lip)
Friend: Oh my god Tatyana! The Volkov brothers seriously? You can''t have them! They are our Bosses.
The Bosses of the Russian Mafia. I bet they won''t even notice you even when you cartwheel in front of
them.
Taty: Not if I cartwheel naked in front of them.
(Both giggles)
Friend: Ugh, I wish I was Madame Volkov! Can we be friends with her? I love her! Everyone in Kovrov
loves her except for some envious bitches from Zora who want the Boss and the Underboss to
themselves like they think they even have an ounce of chance.
Taty: I had a chance with Alexei.
Friend: Right. He was so drunk you and the other girls basically threw yourselves at him and yet you
were left to dry because he started choking you like for realz choked you leaving you with blood shut
eyes and swollen throat. Have you thanked Dimitri for saving your asses that night by the way? You
know that Alexei is a sadist freak.
Taty: He was calling her name that night. I have heard that time he and Madame Volkov had a fight.
Friend: Yep. You don''t have a chance even if you chase after him Taty. So drop it.
Taty: There''s another Volkov.
Friend: The Big Boss? ughs nervously) If Alexei is sadist, his brother, the blood of Vyachev is
satan! I am afraid of him, everyone in the Mafia is afraid of him, and so should you! No matter how
attractive the Boss is, don''t be flirting with death girl.
Taty: Madame Volkov tamed them. What does she have that I don''t have?
Friend: Hmm, lemme see. She''s the wife and she''s pregnant with THE VOLKOV. You my dear are a
med school drop-out and a stripper at Zora. You are both beautiful let''s be clear about that but Madame
Volkov is like Mama Mary, you just want to kneel in front of her and pray. There''s like light years
difference between you and her.

Taty: Thanks for the words of encouragement.
Friend: Just drop your obsession with the brothers. You will get in big trouble with Madame Volkov and
no one will ever help you. Not even your friends in the Mafia! We all know she ordered the mob war
with the Germans. If she can do that to a mob imagine what she will do to you if she finds out about
your years of obsession with the Volkov brothers. And remember, you are here because Yuri chose you
to be with him or whatever and not to flirt with satan and the sadist.
Taty: Yuri doesn''t even like me. I think he''s in love with someone else.
Friend: Really?
Taty: Yes. The only time he pays attention to me is when we are with the Boss and other people in the
mansion. But when it''s just the two of us, he would not even touch or look at me.
Friend: Aww Taty. You''re starting to like Yuri? I am so sorry.
