Her Volkovs #Book 4
Chapter 40
St. Michael Hospital
Nikolai fell to his knees in the hallway outside intensive care as Devon delivered the news to them. Alexei was fighting his way to see Belle but the General's security prevented him to go inside the room. From not too far was Belle's mother, sobbing on her husband's chest.
Matushka was calming Alexei down while the other brother was aghast- still on the floor, speechless.
"I just want to see her! I want to see her! Belle!" Yelled Alexei.
"Alexei please..."
"Matushka! I need to see her. I am her husband! I have the right to see her!"
"She doesn't want to see you or Nikolai or anyone from your family. She needs to rest. You must leave." Said Devon with a hint of warning on his tone. He steps away and then instructed something to the Palawi security men.
"We need to give her time, Alexei. Your wife is going through a very hard time. She needs to rest. We will come back later." Said Matushka, pleading to her son.
Alexei clenches his jaw, eyes glistening with tears. He turns his back and pressed his fist to the wall. In his mind, there is no one to blame but him. He knows how badly his actions had hurt Belle and how things they have done pushed their wife to miscarriage.
Irene holds back her tears as she consoles Nikolai. He just lost his babies and he knows he is about to lose his wife as well. The Russian Mafia Boss has just made the biggest mistake and it cost him the lives of his unborn children and the woman to whom his world revolves around.
The Volkov matriarch is afraid that Nikolai goes back into the rabbit hole. She has seen how destructive he was to himself and to everyone around him when he went through something like this in the past. She knows how much Belle means to the brothers. She is their world, she's the air that they breathe and the sun that gives light into their lives. Irene can't even begin to imagine what will happen if they lose Belle.
Irene cups Nikolai's face to force him to look her in the eye, "Look at me Nikolai. You have to pick yourself up. Belle needs a little breathing space right now but we will come back and get her. You still have a wife who needs you. You have to hold on."
Nikolai wasn't able to say a single word. In his mind, what he did to her was unforgivable. Belle was so convinced that his love for her was a sham. He recalls her face right before she bled. Her eyes said it all. He broke her heart. Worst of all, he broke her.

The Volkov Mansion
Nikolai is standing by the window as he impatiently waits for news from the hospital. His brother went there despite the advice of Matushka to give Belle the time she needs. Nikolai and Alexei believe that the longer it takes for them to see her and talk to her, the more they will fall apart. They need to talk to her and explain everything. More importantly, they need to be with her as they go through the loss of their babies.
The Russian Mafia Boss saw the SUVs pull over their driveway and so he hurriedly went to the grand foyer to meet Alexei.
"What happened?" Asked Nikolai.
Alexei just looked at him, not saying a single word. Boris, Andrey and Dimitri have the same look of hopelessness on their faces. They left the brothers to talk.
"What happened? Did you see her?"
"She's gone." Alexei answered with a faint voice.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Nikolai asked as he grabs Alexei to meet his gaze.
"She's not in the hospital anymore. She was fetched by a helicopter right after we left."
"Do you know where she was sent to?"
"No. Hospital personnel and even the doctors were kept in the blind. Papa and Ma's phones are untraceable. Amy would not talk to me. Pa pulled some strings to keep this all under the radar. I contacted our connections to get a location but it was a dead end."
