Her Volkovs #Book 4

Belle's POV

Rise above the situation Belle. You are Volkov's wife---the most powerful man in the Conglomerate. You have come this far. Don't let this desperate inebriated woman ruin your night.

"Millie, you look like you're done for the night. I am sure your husband would be delighted to remove his disgraceful wife from the table." I said as calmly as I can even though my heart is already pounding inside my ribcage.

One of their people is trying to talk her out of the Conglomerate wives table. She downed another glass of wine before leaving begrudgingly. Apparently, she's widowed and is suffering from severe depression. Her stepson approached me to apologize immediately and to Nikolai who did not even let the man explain to him. He did not even reach my husband because he was instantly blocked by Boris. It was made clear to them that my husband was not having it.

I feel like because of my appearance in this meeting the Russian Mafia will have to deal with mob wars when we get home. I am a hundred percent sure that Nikolai and Alexei will not let this one slide.

Victoria cleared her throat and then continued with a smile on her face like nothing happened. "Well, that was intense. Shall we continue?" She said casually.

Wow this bitch.

"No, we shall not." I answered, still calmly.

"Excuse me?" She retorts back.

"Did I stutter?" I exclaimed, looking at her straight in the eye.

She scoffed like she can't believe what I just said. The wives who are in cohort with her had the same expression on their faces.

"Hand over the bell and leave the table at once Victoria." I said, still as calmly as I can. This time, people from outside the velvet rope are now chattering, most have the look of disbelief on their faces.

For some twisted reason, I can sense fear in Victoria's eyes. I feel like my dark soul is feasting over her reaction. I got you bitch.

"Who died and made you Queen of the Conglomerate?" Victoria replied in an attempt to insult my boldness.

If only she knows I am way beyond mad right now to even get insulted with such pettiness. I am now protecting my honor and my husbands' honor. We are the Volkov family for a reason. It's time to do my part as Nikolai and Alexei's wife.
