Her Volkovs #Book 1

Chapter 13

Belle's POV

I took the cab going to the address that Amy gave me of the old warehouse. The moment I entered the

gym I quickly smell sweat, blood, and rust. Ew. Dylan is right, I'm too girly-girl for this. A couple of men

are lifting weights, the others are kicking the hanging bags. As I was scanning the place looking for

Dylan the men working out looks at me like what the hell is this girl doing here. Right in the middle of

the gym is a cage but this one is different, it doesn't look like the one on television during MMA fights.

This looks like an iron enclosed cage. I noticed that there are two men fighting inside. Others are

watching outside the cage, one of them is yelling.

When the two men inside the cage let go of each other I saw a familiar face. It's Dylan. I walked closer

to the cage. Dylan's opponent has already a swollen face but Dylan doesn't have any sign of swelling

at all. Moments later Dylan wrestled down the other guy and punched him many times on his head.

Oh my god, why did they have to invent such a brutal sport? This is too barbaric. The other guy tapped

out. Dylan stood like it was just nothing. He then went out of the cage and approach the man who was

instructing him a while ago. They talked for several seconds more and then finally Dylan noticed me.

He wipes his sweat off with a towel as he walks towards his gym bag.

"Dy, can we talk?"

"Why are you here? You're not supposed to be here Belle."

"I'm here to talk to you. You're not answering my calls." He just continued gathering his things and put

his shirt and pants on. He clutched my hand and walks out of the gym like he's in a hurry. It's difficult to Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

keep up with him considering my high heels. He grabbed me until we are in the parking lot where his

bike is parked.

"You are not supposed to be here Belle!" My heart jumped in surprise. I have not seen Dylan this upset.

"I'm here to apologize and explain."

He handed me his helmet. "Put this on."

I did not accept it. Instead, I just look him in the eyes. He lets out a sigh and then he puts the helmet on

my head instead.

"We will talk but not here."

We went to a park nearby. I sat on the bench but Dylan just stood up. I gestured for him to come sit

next to me. After some convincing, the man finally gave in. Why are the men surrounding me so

difficult? Sawyer, Dylan, Alexei, and of course the most difficult of them all, Nikolai. Is this really my fate

now?

"Dy, I'm sorry. But I did not lie to you. Alexei is really just a friend." He was about to stand up, he was

not having any of it.

"Please Dy just listen to me first. Alexei is just a friend and that's the truth. I have a boyfriend but it's not

Alexei. His name is Nikolai, he's Alexei's friend.

"Where did you meet this Nikolai?"

I told Dylan what happened in the bar. He looks disappointed in me but eventually, he forgave me.

I am holding on to Dylan's left arm as we continue our conversation.

"Aside from being your knight in shining armor what else do you know about this Nikolai?"

"Uh well he owns several businesses."

"So he's basically a snob."

"Dylan!" I smack him on his shoulder.

"Nikolai is sweet. He's nice Dy. I will introduce you both in time."

I suddenly realize that Dylan is wearing the necklace I gave him.

"You're still wearing it. Aw."

"You like it? It was given by a very special girl."

"Yah? I bet she's sizzling hot too. Hahaha!"

"Yup she definitely is. And she's stubborn too."

"No I'm not!"

"Kidding aside, don't go back to the gym looking for me anymore okay?"

"Okay, just as long as you answer my calls we won't have a problem."

"No Belle, you have to promise me you're not going back to the gym. Promise me."

"Fine, besides I don't particularly enjoy seeing half-naked, sweaty and bloody men."

"I caught you staring at me a couple of times, don't kid yourself."

"Ah! Fine guilty as charged. But only your six-pack."

Dylan just shook his head.

I can't believe I'm doing this. Ah! My heart is filled with mixed emotions right now. I'm excited because I

have finally found the courage to tell Nikolai that I'm ready but I'm also a bit embarrassed for doing this,

but guess what? I am doing it anyway.

I took pictures of myself on my knees, half-naked, in black lace panties while cupping my breasts with

my hands.

I typed the caption "I'm ready baby, happy birthday!" I'm going to send this to him on his birthday.

Meanwhile, I decided to text Alexei if he can come with me to the supermarket. I'm going to cook for

the three of us. There's no harm in trying, right? Unless of course I unintentionally poison them, then

there's harm.

A few clicks on my phone, I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. Oh my god! I

accidentally sent to Alexei the picture I took for Nikolai. I squealed in horror. Oh god, if it's my time take

me now. Hit me with your lightning, I'm ready to die. Ah! I paced back and forth in my room, my heart is

pounding hard.

Sending....oh my god stop stop stop...sending.....god help me make it stop....SENT.

Oh god. What do I do? Ah! I need to call him.

"Hey princess, I'm kind of busy right now. Do you need anything?"

Good, he's busy and seems like he has not opened my message yet. "Uh Alexei, I sent you something

accidentally, you are not to open the message under any circumstance okay? You are to delete it

immediately or better yet, come for me so I can delete the message myself, do you understand?"

He did not answer me. Instead, all I heard is nothing.

"Alexei? Hello?" Oh my god, why do I have a feeling that he's doing the exact opposite of what I just

said to him? Argh! I think I'm going out of my mind!

"Alexei, don't you dare! Hello?" He hung up on me. That's it. I'm doomed.
