All Chapters of Blood And Betrayal : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO Dimitri's POV  I stared at the bloody message in my hands. My heart was pounding so hard I thought someone could hear it. "The Volkov twins must step down, surrender all territories and businesses, or you will lose your lives and the little baby you are expecting." Irina was in danger, the woman I could not remember but somehow felt connected to was being threatened. "It is my brother," I said, looking up at Mikhail. "This has to be Alexei, he is the only one who can threaten me like this. He’s lost everything so he wants to hurt me." But Mikhail was quiet, he just stood there staring at the chaos around us, at the dead bodies, at the damaged estate. His face was unreadable, but I could see the darkness in his eyes. "Mikhail," I said firmly. "Did you hear me? This is Alexei's doing, we nee

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR Dimitri's POV  The search for Alexei began immediately that same night. Mikhail sent out every available man, every contact, and every resource we had. "Find him," Mikhail ordered, his voice calm but deadly. "Search every safe house, every hiding spot, every place he has ever been." The guards scattered like shadows into the night. I wanted to go with them, to search for him myself, but Mikhail insisted I stay at the estate. "You are still recovering your memories," he said. "And you are a target, we cannot risk losing you too." So I waited, pacing the grand hall like a caged animal, listening to reports that came back empty. "There are no sign of him at the docks." "The warehouse district is clear." "His known contacts say they hav

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX Dimitri Mikhail was pacing the office like a caged animal, his footsteps heavy on the marble floor. I sat in the leather chair, staring at nothing, feeling like a ghost. My life was a complete mess. Just a few weeks ago, I was the one searching for answers, desperately trying to figure out who I was. And now that I had found out, I wished I never did. I wished I had just stayed at the farm with Maria and Luna, living that simple peaceful life. Being a mafia lord, having enemies everywhere, being responsible for so many lives was too much. "What if it was Alexei who kidnapped Carlo?" Mikhail spoke suddenly, cutting through my thoughts. I looked up at him. "What?" "Think about it," Mikhail said, stopping his pacing. "Roberto is my brother,

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT Dimitri's POV   When I heard her scream, my soul left my body. That raw desperate sound told me everything. She was hurt. She was dying. And she was gone. I did not know where the strength came from but I pushed Mikhail away with force I did not know I had. "Dimitri, no!" Mikhail shouted but I was already moving. I threw open the car door and dashed out into the chaos. Bullets were still flying, guards were already shooting at the attackers. The night was filled with smoke and noise. But I did not care. I did not think about my safety. I only thought about getting to her. When the attackers saw more reinforcements arriving, and saw how our guards were more than them, they fled quickly. Their car screeched away into the darkness, leaving de

CHAPTER SIXTY Dimitri's POV  The slap echoed through the hall like a gunshot. Alexei's head snapped to the side from the force of my blow. His cheek immediately turned red. For a moment, everything was silent. The guards watched with tense expressions. Mikhail stood nearby with an unreadable expression. Alexei slowly turned his face back towards me. His green eyes burned with hatred and rage. Then he spat directly at my face. The saliva hit my cheek and I felt it drip down slowly, warm and disgusting. "You fucking bastard!" Alexei cursed, his voice was filled with venom. "I regret not searching harder for you!" He pulled against the chains that held his hands behind his back. His whole body shook with fury. "I should have torn this city apart until I
