Belle's POV

"Who is Mrs. Volkov, Nikolai?" I finally had the courage to ask. We are in the car on our way to god knows where. I sat far from Nikolai and I know that he noticed my sudden change in mood.

Nikolai did not answer me. He just placed his hand down his chin while crossing his thigh over the other.

It could not be is own mother. Perhaps it's Yelena's mum? But I have never heard of her before.

What if my hunch is true? What if Nikolai has a wife? What does that make me?

Please, not his wife. Please god, not his wife.

"She's my wife." Nikolai said without a hint of playfulness in his voice.

I feel like my eyes are being pinched. I swallowed the lump in my throat that has been slowly suffocating me. After everything that we have been through, he's just going to drop this bomb on me?

"Pull over Boris!" I said as sternly as I can but Boris kept on driving.

"I said pull over!"

Nikolai is on his phone, texting someone. Nobody seems to hear me. I tried to unlock the car door but to no avail.

I then remember Alexei. I know Alexei will come to my rescue. I quickly dial his number. In just two rings, he answered.

"Princess."

"Alexei can you come fetch me?"

"I'm sorry, I can't. I'm kind of busy preparing for a very special night with my very special girl."

I feel like my heart is being crushed into pieces. Alexei has a special girl and he can't come to me. This is the very first time that Alexei said no to me. Wow, I never thought I would be this hurt hearing Alexei having a special girl.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you Alexei." I quickly cancelled the call.

Oh god, if you are playing some kind of a joke on me, please I want this to end.

A few minutes later we arrived at the cemetery. Nikolai tried to carry me in his arms but I held on to my seat as tight as I can.

"No! Don't touch me Nikolai!"

Nikolai instantly sported a smirk on his face. How could he!? He just said to my face that he has a wife. Why does he look like he's enjoying my misery?

Nikolai mandhadled me out of the car. I was trying to grab the car seat but the Russian Mafia Boss was able to scoop me out of the SUV. My bum is on the side of Nikolai's head, flying in the air. I'm trying to wiggle off from him but his arms are holding my thighs and legs tightly.

"Nikolai!!!!! I hate you so much!!!!"

"I love you too baby." He retorted arrogantly.

"I said I hate you! I did not say....."

I was halted when all of a sudden, I saw candles in small glasses along the way, making two perfect lines on the sides. I stopped putting up a fight against Nikolai and just looked around while I'm upside down.

A few seconds past, Nikolai halted and held me to stand on the ground. Oh my god, what is happening? I feel like my heart is beating a thousand times.

We are now standing in between the graves of Vyacheslav Roustam Volkov and Yelena. We are surrounded by candles inside cute jars of different colors and some are inside small glass lanterns. There are also a couple of candles on top and around the graves. There's a beautiful bouquet of red daisies on Yelena's grave while a lit cigar is on top of Vyachaslav's grave.

To my surprise, I saw Alexei standing a couple of feet away from Nikolai. His hands are in his pockets while sporting a smirk on his face. What is he even doing here? I thought he's with his very special girl?

Nikolai cleared his throat to get my attention. His beautiful green eyes are looking at me intently as he slightly loosens his tie.
