Her Volkovs #Book 3

Belle's POV

I swallow the lump in my throat and held the phone far from me. I inhaled deep and sighed as I try not to tear up again. God, why am I so weak when it comes to him?

"You can stay on the line for as long as you want Nikolai. I'm not gonna hang up as well."

I heard him breathe lightly then continued, "I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I never want to do that to you. I tried my best to protect and love you. I swear tried. But I always end fucking things up."

"I want...I want to take this slow Nikolai. Let me teach myself to forgive you first, then perhaps we can start over."

"I can live with that." He answered.

We stayed on the line without actually talking to each other. We just listened. We listened to each other's breathing. I lay on my back while holding my abdomen and I could swear I felt something nudge inside me. I giggled at my own silliness. Either I felt my baby's phantom nudge or it's just my stomach rumbling. I can't believe I'm hungry again.

"Do that again baby."

"Do the what?"

"Your seductive giggle."

"No." I said shutting him down.

"Yup, that's what I thought." He answered in defeat.

"Do you have my pringles yet?"

I heard him chuckle, "Is this baby Vyacheslav's request or Ma's?

"It's the baby's request. End of." I retorted using his own words against him.

"Okay I fold." He answered as another soft chuckle escaped his mouth.

Seconds later, Nikolai said they arrived at the store where he will buy me pringles. I thought he's just going to order one of his men to pick it up but I was kind of impressed when he went to the store himself to get me my request.

I heard a bell ring and I'm assuming they are inside a convenient store now. Wow, way to go Belle, you managed to make the Russian Mafia Boss run errands for you. I think an imaginary high five is in order.

"You do not strike me as a pringles kind of man." Said a woman's voice all too seductively. My eyebrows raised in an instant. Well well, look what do we have here. Somebody's hitting on my HUSBAND!

My anger started to boil up in an instant, I feel like my hormonal bitch persona has suddenly awaken. I pressed the phone a little harder to my ear to hear what will Nikolai say in response but there was just silence.

"$24.99. We only take cash but I can take another mode of payment." She continued with her seductive voice and obvious flirtation.

My lips parted in disbelief. I can't believe she just said that. She's practically throwing herself to my HUSBAND!

What a friggin wench! Whore! Slut!
