Chapter 14
Belle's POV
The ride to the grocery with Alexei was painful. I couldn't even look at him. I hate him for not listening to
me, but I hate myself more for putting myself in this situation. The two huge men from the restaurant
are in the driver and passenger seats, while Alexei and I are at the back.
Alexei cleared his throat.
"Don't." I quickly interrupt whatever it is that he wanted to say or do.
I can feel him move uncomfortably in his seat. You know if I weren't so angry right now, Alexei acting
like this is kind of funny.
"We're here. Wait for me first. "
Of course, I did not wait for him. I quickly opened the door and walked my way inside the grocery.
Alexei followed me from behind.
I decided to cook Asian marinated chicken for dinner. How hard can it be? I have watched my mother
cook many times before, I'm sure I can do it.
As we walk along the aisles, I noticed that Alexei is quite the chick magnet and old women magnet. I
swear, they are looking at Alexei like they were to devour him or something, they are not even hiding it.
"I'm sorry princess."
I still ignore him.
"I'm sorry. Just at least say a word."
"You...you..did exactly the opposite of what I asked you!"
"I'm sorry but it's my job to know everything pertaining to you that might put you in danger. Nikolai is not
only my boss, but he's also my brother. I just had to know what made you anxious all of a sudden."
That actually made sense. I somehow feel bad for treating him this way. One thing that bothers me is
that why are they always thinking that I might be in danger? Is this one of the things that Nikolai has not
told me about?
"Did you delete it?" I asked Alexei while looking him in the eyes.
"I did."
I looked at him sternly while squinting my eyes.
"You better!"
Alexei softly chuckled in response. "Just a thought, If you send him that picture, the crazy man will bolt
like the flash no matter what meeting he's in right now."
I suddenly felt my face turn crimson.
"Listen to me A-lex-ei." I pronounced each syllable for emphasis. "What happened must be between
the two of us, get it? Don't spoil my birthday gift to Nikolai."
He then acted like he's zipping his lips. "Good. You better make sure or you will experience my wrath."
Alexei lets out a laugh so I smack him in his arm. "Now let's go before one of these women bring you
home."
"Are you jealous my princess?"
I parted my mouth in disbelief. Arrogance level: Nikolai Vyacheslav Volkov
"I just don't want to walk back home, you are my ride remember?"
"Wow, at least now I know my value to you."
"Awww let's go." I'm clinging to Alexei's arm as we walk to the check out counter.
"What a sweet couple. Darling look at them. Reminds me of us back in the days. " An old woman and
probably her husband are on the check out counter ahead of us. The old lady looks very sweet. Her
husband looks pleasant as well. I just smiled at them in response.
I decided not to correct her. I noticed that Alexei is going with my plan. I don't want to burst her bubble.
The old couple looks like they are so in love. I want me and Nikolai to grow old together like them
someday.
While in the car on our way home, I messaged Nikolai.
"I miss you Nikolai. Come home early please? I'm making us dinner."
A while later my phone vibrated, it's a call from Nikolai.
"You're making us dinner?"
"Yep, what time are you coming home?
"I'll be there in an hour baby."
"I love you Nikolai."
"I love you more. Sleep with me tonight?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"None exactly."
"I'm doing this for my door actually. It needs protection from you and Alexei."
I heard Nikolai laugh on the other side of the line.
"Be safe okay?"
"If I get home safe do I get a reward?"
"Yes." I giggled.
"What is it?"
"A full body massage."
"Coming home now."
"Hello? Nikolai?" Did he hang up on me?
"You just offered the man a body massage, expect that he'll be home anytime now."
Oh god, I think I have created a monster.

Alexei is with me in Nikolai's kitchen while his two other men are somewhere. Nikolai arrived with Yuri
and Boris and immediately hugged me from behind.
"How's my baby?"
"Cmon Nikolai let's eat. I want the boys to eat with us." Nikolai signaled Alexei who immediately got
what Nikolai meant.
"Humm that smells good." Yay, Nikolai liked the smell of my cooking! I'm so excited. I'm pretty sure they
are going to love it. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
***********Nikolai and Alexei's text message conversation before Nikolai arrived.*********
Alexei: Hey Boss whatever it is that she's cooking, it doesn't look good.
Nikolai: How bad?
Alexei: Yelena's cooking bad.
Nikolai: Shit. All of you shall eat no matter what.
*************************************************************
All of the men are accounted for in the dining table. I placed the asian marinated chicken on two nice
plates. My seat is on Nikolai's right and to his left is Alexei while the rest of the boys occupied the other
chairs left.
"Let's eat!" I said with glee. I noticed that Alexei was clearing his throat and glancing at Nikolai. What is
up with him?
"What are you waiting for guys! Dig in! Don't be shy, I made this for all of you. Here baby, this is for
you."
I placed some for Nikolai. I stare at him intently as he slowly slices the chicken and puts it in his mouth.
I want to see his reaction.
"Hmmm...not bad. The beef is delicious." Beef? But.
I can see the horror on Alexei's face, he knows for a fact that what I bought from the grocery was
chicken and not beef. Now I know what's happening here.
"Stop!!!!! All of you stop eating!" Boris' piece of the chicken was almost in his mouth. "Don't you dare
put that in your mouth Boris!"
I took the food from Nikolai's plate. I am so mad at him right now! He didn't have to pretend that he
likes it! Let alone force his men to eat!
"What's wrong baby?"
"This is chicken Nikolai! Chicken!Not beef!"
I collected Nikolai's plate and attempted to stand but Nikolai pulled me towards him, before I know it,
I'm already on his lap. I buried my face on his shoulder in embarrassment.
"Whatever it is that you want me to eat, I'm going to eat it. Most especially if you want me to eat your
pussy."
"Nikolai!" I smack him on his shoulder but he just lets out a chuckle in response.
"Now, I heard from Alexei that you wanted to kidnap the chef from Dile'?" I just nodded at him. "Do you
still want to kidnap him for dinner tonight?" He said so gently.
"Uhuh..."
When I'm finally not too embarrassed, I sat straight to face Alexei and others but Nikolai and I are
already alone in the dining room. Well, they sure moved fast.
