All Chapters of Blood And Betrayal : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWODimitri's POV It felt like I was floating in darkness.There were no sounds, no light, no pain.Just darkness.Was I dead? Was I still alive? I had no idea.Sometimes I heard distant and muffled voices. It sounded like people were talking from under the water."...so much blood...""...might not survive...""...do what we can..."I tried to open my eyes but they were too heavy.I tried to move but my body would not respond.So I floated in the darkness and waited.Time passed. I did not know how much. Hours? Days? Weeks?Then slowly, things began to change.The darkness became lighter. It became greyish instead of black.The voices became clearer, and closer."His fever is breaking," a woman's voice said. "That is a good sign.""Will he wake up?" Another voice asked. A young girl."I do not know, child," the first voice said. "We have done everything we can. The rest is up to him."I tried to speak but my throat was too dry. I tried to open my eyes but they were sti

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURDimitri's POV Weeks passed at the farm.Maria and Luna took care of me like I was part of their family. They fed me, cleaned my wounds, and made sure I rested.My head was healing slowly. It was less painful now, but my memories never came back.I still did not know who I was.Maria said I could stay as long as I needed. "You are welcome here," she said kindly. "Until your memories return. Or until you are ready to start a new life."Luna was always around me. She brought me food, changed my bandages and sat with me when I could not sleep."You should rest more," she would say. "The healer said you need time."But I could not rest. My mind would not let me.I spent hours trying to remember who I was, why I was in an accident. Was it just a random accident? Or had someone tried to eliminate me? The more I think about it, the more it gets foggy and vague. Like I was reaching into an abyss.But I know one thing for certain. I wasn't an ordinary person. I wasn't just

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXDimitriI stared at the woman I had just bumped into.She was pregnant. Heavily pregnant. Her belly was round and large.What was a pregnant woman doing out here at this time of the night? In this dangerous area?Was she running from someone? Was her husband abusing her?My protective instincts kicked in immediately."Are you alright?" I asked. "Do you need help?"She did not answer. She just stared at me like I was a ghost, like she had seen something impossible.Her eyes were wide. Her mouth was open. And tears started streaming down her face.I was shocked. Did I make her cry?"Miss?" I said again. "Are you hurt? Are you in danger?"She reached out with a shaking hand, like she wanted to touch my face. But she stopped herself."Dm... Dimitri," her voice cracked. It came out like a whisper.I froze. My heart raced."What did you say?" I asked."Dimitri," she repeated louder this time. And more tears fell across her face. "Dimitri."My heart stopped."That is my n

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT Dimitri's POV  When I got back to the farm, the sun was just beginning to rise. I opened the door quietly, hoping not to wake anyone. But Maria and Luna were already awake, sitting in the living room with worried faces. "Where have you been?!" Luna jumped up immediately, her eyes were red like she had been crying. "We have been looking everywhere for you!" "I am sorry," I said quickly. "I did not mean to worry you, I just needed to..." "You could have died out there!" Maria said, standing up too. "Your head injury is still serious, what if you collapsed? What if something happened?" "I am fine," I said. "Really, I am okay." But Luna was already checking me, touching my face, looking at my bandages. "You are not fine, you look exhausted." "I need to le

CHAPTER FORTY Dimitri's POV  I stopped running when I was far enough from the store. My chest was heaving, my heart was pounding, but the panic was slowly fading. I leaned against a wall, trying to catch my breath and calm down. People were still glancing at me as they walked past. Their eyes lingered on the bandages wrapped around my head, some looked concerned, others looked suspicious. I ignored them and started walking again, I had no destination in mind, I just needed to keep moving. As I walked, I thought about what had just happened at the store. The way my body moved without thinking, the speed, the precision, the instincts that kicked in automatically. How did I know how to fight like that? How did I disarm three armed men in seconds? Was I a soldier before? A fi
