Chapter 13. Boston.

Nikolai and Alexei's pictures.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I can see from the dim light illuminating from the tiny candles on the tables that Nikolai's men are surrounding us while clutching their guns on their hands.

I am facing Nikolai. He wraps his arms around my shoulders, almost suffocating me. He is holding a gun on his right hand. Alexei is on my back, pushing me tight in between them. He's holding a gun on his right hand as well.

Artan is holding Aria in his arms while Dardan have guns in both of his hands. His men are surrounding them as well.

My heart is beating a million times. Oh god what is happening? I then remember my bestfriend.

"A." I said with a low voice. Alexei quickly covered my mouth tightly.

"B. I'm okay don't worry, I'm with Dylan." Said Amy. I felt relieved when I heard her voice.

A few seconds later all the lights went back on.

"Uh we apologize for the inconvenience. We just had a short power outage. We can resume with the auction now." Said the host.

Nikolai and Artan's men slinged back their guns and everything around us went back to normal.

My future husband and Alexei's grip on me however remained the same.

I then licked Alexei's palm, it made him soft chuckle. He removes his hand from my mouth as they slowly loosen their grip on me.

To everybody's surprise, the painting is nowhere to be found, including Sylvester. The other teachers and Dr. Thomas are now scrambling to find the little guy.

After several minutes of looking for Sylvester they found him in his room at the boys dorm. Dr. Thomas apologized to everyone since they were not able to convince my little boy to give up his painting. I feel relieved all of a sudden, knowing that Dr. Thomas did not force Sylvester to auction off his painting although St. Mary's needed the donation.

I asked my future husband if he could donate generously instead. Of course, my Nikolai said yes to me.

"Thank you Nikolai."

"Anything and everything for you baby." Nikolai muttered as he runs his fingers through my hair. We are now inside the car waiting for Alexei.

Suddenly I received a text from Artan.

Aria wants to hear your voice. Can you talk to her before we leave?

I showed to Nikolai Artan's text message.

"You do realize he's using Aria just to get you."

"Nikolai, Artan will never ever take me away from you. You are Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov. My first love. My first kiss. My very first......" I then took Nikolai's hand and places it on top of my femme. He just smiles at me understanding what I'm trying to say.

"You own my body, heart and soul. No one and nothing can take that away from you, from us." I held Nikolai's face as I talk to him.

Nikolai's beautiful green eyes are looking at me as if he's longing to say something.

"Do you still want to marry me?"

"Nothing has changed Nikolai. Oh wait, something has changed actually."

Nikolai's eyebrows suddenly crinkled.

"Alexei." I said.

"Fuck! I thought your going to say you dont want to marry me. You almost gave me heart attack."
