HER NIKOLAI (Her Volkovs Book 1)

Chapter 29. The Note.

"Say something A."

Amy is looking at my engagement ring blankly.

"A, please say something! Aren't you happy for me?"

"I just never thought that this would happen so fast. I mean, how long have you known Nikolai? I thought that the two of you are just, you know, going to get to know each other more before getting engaged. And Nikolai is the Boss of the Russian Mafia, he is the head of a criminal organization B! They kill and beat people down just like that." Amy is saying her words with all her conviction.

"I know Nikolai more than you could ever think A. I know the real him. If you could just give him a chance." I held Amy's hands tightly.

"B, he's gonna have to ask a lot from you. Are you sure you can handle it? He is going to control you. Heck, he even controls your freakin haircut!"

I did not answer Amy. I looked down and realized something. Nikolai indeed is in control of my life now.

"Did he... did the two of you?"

I know what Amy is trying to ask.

"Yes."

"Did you use protection? Gosh B, please tell me you used protection."

I looked down because I cannot look Amy in the eyes.

"Are you really out of your fucking mind?!!!!! Where did your humongous brain go Arabella? What if you get pregnant? What's next B?! How are you going to raise your kids if their father is a gangster?"

A tear is now falling down my face. Why cant she just be happy for me? I can't stand this confrontation anymore so I quickly stood up and stormed out of Dylan's house.

"B!!!"

Amy called out my name but I ignored her. I try to wipe my tears off of my face before Ivan and Vasily will notice me. At the back of my mind I know Amy is just looking after me. Perhaps I just cant stand being slapped in the face with the harsh reality of my relationship with Nikolai.

"Where to Madamme?" Vasily asked while looking at the rear view mirror.

"Home please."

I'm in Alexei's room, staring blankly at the television. I'm resting my back on the pillow I placed on headboard of the bed. I did not bother Nikolai and Alexei anymore. I'm sure those two are busy.
A few seconds later I received a text message from Nikolai.

Do you need anything baby?

I think he knows I'm already home. I quickly typed in my reply.

All I need is you Nikolai.

I blush as I type my message to him. A few seconds later Nikolai replied.

Going home now.

Geeez... I did not intend for him to go home. That was just a rhetorical statement. Men are so literal.

Moments later my phone buzzed, I thought it's my Nikolai but it's from an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hi baby." My senses jumped to overdrive when I heard a familiar voice. Oh my god, it's Artan.

"Don't call me baby Artan. I'm not your baby."

I heard him soft chuckle.

"Did you like the roses?"

Oh my god, what is wrong with this man?

"Please stop calling and sending me flowers Artan."

"Haven't you read my message to you?"
