All Chapters of Revenge after deceit: I belong to mafia Don : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

CHAPTER TWOI stared at the towering figure before me, my heart pounding as I recognized the voice that cut through the darkness. It was William, his golden eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger under the midnight moon. Tears streamed down my face as I realized my escape had been thwarted. How had they found me? Had someone seen me slip through ? The questions swirled in my mind, but there was no time for answers.Footsteps crunched behind him, deliberate and heavy. I didn’t need to look to know it was Damian, the other half of my torment. Instinctively, I pushed myself backward, my hands scraping against the rough forest floor. My swollen ankle throbbed, but the pain was nothing compared to the terror gripping my chest. I was trapped, cornered by the two monsters who had made my life a living hell.“Please,” I whispered, my voice trembling. “Please, just let me go. Haven’t I suffered enough?”My plea hung in the air, fragile and futile. William’s lips curled into a cruel smirk, and D

I sat there, stuck in that fancy chair, staring at the blank TV screen. My head was spinning, like the world had just flipped upside down. I kept seeing it—my mom’s body on the ground, blood everywhere, her begging for her life. And my dad, *my dad*, pulling the trigger. All these years, I thought it was my fault. I carried that guilt like a rock in my chest, hating myself for something I didn’t do. But it was him. He killed her and let me take the blame.My hands shook, and my eyes burned with tears. I couldn’t think straight. Everything I believed about my mom’s death was a lie. A big, ugly lie. My dad’s voice echoed in my head, cold and sharp: *You’re the reason she’s dead, Ava. You’re a curse.* I’d believed him. I let him and the whole pack make me feel like nothing. And now I knew the truth—he was the monster.Russell stood across the room, watching me. His green eyes didn’t blink, like he was waiting for me to say something. His men were behind him, all stiff in their black suit

Ava’s POVI stood there frozen, my heart pounding so hard I could barely hear Russell’s voice over the blood rushing in my ears.“Ava, we need to move. Now.” His tone was sharp, urgent, but my feet wouldn’t budge. My father’s men were closing in, and just the thought of facing him—of what he’d do to me—turned my insides to ice.“He’ll kill me, Russell,” I stammered, my voice cracking. “You don’t understand. If he catches us, there’s no way out. He’ll kill us both.” My hands trembled as I clutched the edge of the table in the dimly lit safehouse room, my mind spiraling with images of my father’s cold, merciless eyes.Jia stirred inside me, her voice cutting through my panic like a blade. Ava, I know you’re scared, but this isn’t the time to cry like a chicken. Russell’s right. We need to move. Now. Don’t worry—I’ll be with you. Let’s go.I let out a heavy sigh, my chest tight. Jia’s words steadied me, but not enough to shake the terror gripping my bones. I remained rooted to the spot,

Russell’s POVFor a second, I thought it was me—I thought I was the one who had been shot. The loud sound of the gunshot still rang in my ears, making everything else go silent. My eyes blinked rapidly, my body frozen—until I saw her.She was right in front of me. And for the briefest moment, she looked just as stunned as I was. Her mouth parted slightly, her eyes wide, like she wasn’t sure what had just happened. Then, her body gave out.“No—Ava!” My voice tore from my throat, raw and broken.She collapsed to her knees like a puppet whose strings had been cut, then crumpled to the ground with a sickening thud. Blood—so much blood—spilled from beneath her. I could feel my heart pounding faster than it ever had before. The blood soaked the dry leaves, and my knees gave out beneath me. I dropped to the ground, instantly crawling toward her, my shaking hands reaching to touch her.“Ava, Ava… no, no, please stay with me. You can't... you can't die,” I whispered, my voice trembling as I c

**Russell’s POV**I was in the middle of a heated argument with my men, their voices loud in the cramped room, when a scream cut through the air. It was Mara, the healer. I recognized the voice instantly. My stomach dropped. Ava. Something was wrong with Ava—that was the first thought that came to my mind.I didn’t think. I just ran, shoving past the guys, my shoes slamming against the polished floor. The hallway stretched forever, but I ran faster, my heart pounding like a drum in my chest. When I reached the healer, she was standing outside a door, trembling, her eyes wide with panic.“What is it?” I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her. “Why are you screaming?” I asked.Mara pointed into the room, her hand shaking. “It’s Ava… she’s on the floor, and blood’s coming from her nose.”My heart stopped. I rushed inside and saw her. She was crumpled on the ground, her face white as a sheet, blood smeared across her lips. “Ava! Ava!” I called as I dropped to my knees, tapping her cheek, pray
