Her Volkovs #Book 4

Belle's POV

"Tell me. Do you love me Yuri?" I ask, looking into his eyes.

At this point, I know that I am the only one who can change his mind. He is leaving the Mafia for the wrong reason. He was willing to fake his engagement with Tatyana just so he can face the consequences of his mistake. There are some things that still don't make sense to me but at this moment the most important thing is that I do something to prevent him from leaving.

"Yuri, if you love me, why do you have to leave? You don't have to do this. I know the truth about Tatyana. Stay with us. We are your family."

He connected his gaze on me, looking at me intently as if he wants to say something. "Ya lyublyu tebya Belle. Forgive me."

He then looked away and spoke in Russian towards Nikolai and Alexei. I instantly panicked as I am now in the blind. So I clung on to Yuri even tighter as I am determined not to let him go. He is making a mistake and I am not about to let him live that mistake.

"No! Yuri, I want you to stay." I begged as I am already panicking.

The next thing I knew his hand was unshackled from on top of the table by Boris and the melting device was put away. I looked around just to make sure that everything is in the clear. I felt relieved as Nikolai's men stood down and away from the table.

I then gently wipe Yuri's sweaty and bloody face using the white towel and made sure that I do not touch his wounds.
