HER MR. VOLKOV (Her Volkovs Book 3)

Chapter 2. How Much Pain Can One Heart Take?

Belle's POV

~

"Really? That's just so funny." Yrina giggled. "I miss this. I miss us, Volkov." She said as she leans forward close to Nikolai's face while looking at him seductively and just waiting for Nikolai's next move.

I feel like my heart is being stabbed a thousand times. My world has just crumbled down right in front of me. Everything that I have been through with Nikolai and Alexei went down the drain just like that. I have been all alone all these time.

I could not stand watching them any longer. Every second I see Yrina and Nikolai, a lump forms in my throat, slowly suffocating and killing me. Alexei, Boris and Dimitri are looking at me as if observing each of my reaction.

They did not say a single word. I turned around and walked away without Nikolai and Yrina even noticing me.

As I exit the kitchen, I felt Alexei walk behind me. I'm almost at the main door when he was able to grab me by my arm. He pulled me towards his chest and wrapped his arms around me.

"Princess...no, no, no. Let me explain."

Alexei's touch disgusts me to the bone so I pulled away from him.

"When the two of you are done with your important meeting with her, meet me at the Penthouse. Have the boys deliver my luggage and clothes at Amy's, I will be needing all of them."

I'm trying hard not to look unshaken. I exited the house and run towards the SUV. Yuri and Boris took over the passenger and driver's seats when I went in.

"Penthouse." I said coldly while squeezing myself closer to the car door so that the two won't see me from the rear view mirror.

I tried to inhale deep to save myself from crying but I ended up sobbing silently. I placed my palm on top of my mouth and nose so that Yuri and Boris wont be able to hear me.

The pain that I am feeling right now is beyond words. Nikolai and Alexei have been lying and cheating on me with Yrina. I did not see this one coming. All these time I was led to believe that I was their only one, their princess, and their baby. I wasn't.

My phone vibrated and it's Alexei. I ignored his call and hurled the phone inside my purse. Seconds later, Yuri who is in the front passenger seat handed me a phone. "Madamme I'm sorry but it's the Boss."

I immediately looked outside the window and wiped the tears from my face. Yuri realized that I am not in the condition to talk, so he did not insist further and just talked to Nikolai or Alexei himself instead.

"Drive please..." I was already close to begging. I don't want to be here anymore. Just by looking at the house makes my stomach turn.

"I'm sorry Madamme but the Boss ordered not to let you go." Yuri said in response.

I did not think twice and opened the car door but to my dismay, the doors have already been locked.

"Open the door! Please!" I'm already yanking the car lock hysterically and wiping the tears from eyes at the same time. I know that as much as Yuri and Boris want to unlock the door, they can't and they won't because of Nikolai or Alexei's order.

I then saw Alexei approach the SUV and in an instant, the door unlocked, allowing Alexei to come in.

"Princess, listen.."

"Save it. I have seen enough. You and Nikolai have perfectly conveyed the message."

"You don't understand.. we.."

"I said save it Alexei! I'm so tired! I want to go back to the penthouse to get this done and over with. Tell them to drive. And I mean now!"

Alexei signalled Boris to drive. I tried to compose myself together by wiping the tears off of my eyes and face. I then held on to my arms tightly in front of me while looking outside. Alexei is talking on his phone in Russian, and I think I know who he's talking to.
