Her Volkovs #Book 1

Belle's POV

I'm looking for something to wear from Nikolai's wardrobe but most of his stuff in the walk in closet are different shades of suits, lots of white shirts, jeans and sweats. I need to go to my apartment to get some clothes.

I slowly walk downstairs but Alexei is already standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Where are you going?"

"Not in your bed." I retorted.

"Okay, then go back to Nikolai's room now."

"I'm going to my apartment and you can't stop me from leaving!"

"Yah? Try me."

I would call Nikolai but he specifically told me to do as Alexei says. These two are not giving me any choice. What could be the worst thing to happen to me? I know Alexei would never hurt me. So I continued walking down the stairs. When I was on the last step, he showed his right hand from his back. A gasp escaped my mouth when I saw the leash Alexei is holding in his hand.

"You will not..."

"Too late princess."

Alexei manhandled me towards his room.

"Alexei!!!! Put me down!!!" I yelled at him hysterically.

"You know, you are a handful to watch over."

"Nikolai will know of this I'm telling you!"

"He already knows."

"What?"

"I'm under strict orders to make you stay in bed no matter what."

Alexei throws me to his bed and placed the leash on my right hand while the other one is tied to the headboard of his bed. I could not believe he's doing this to me!

I was yanking the leash while Alexei is quickly on his phone talking to someone and I think I know who it is.

"Is that Nikolai?" I grumpily asked Alexei.

"Nikolai, I swear I will not going to allow you to touch me, not even my hair for one week starting tonight. You hear me Nikolai!? One whole week!" I yelled to make sure that he could hear me.
