All Chapters of Blood And Betrayal : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE Irina's POV  Dimitri dashed out of the room with the guard immediately. The door slammed shut behind them. And I was left alone in the sudden silence. Even after everything Alexei had done to him, Dimitri still cared. I had seen the fear in his eyes. The panic.  Alexei was his brother after all. His twin. His blood. I sat still for a while. Just staring at the empty space where Dimitri had stood. My mind was racing with thoughts. With worries. With questions. What if Alexei really died? What would happen then? Would Dimitri blame himself? Would he regret taking me from him? I stood up slowly and walked to the window. I stared out at th

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE Irina's POV  I tried to free myself from Katya's grip but it was futile. She was way stronger than me. Impressively stronger than she appears. Women like her spends their time training and exercising. While women like me spends their time scrubbing floors. Her nails dug into my arm painfully. She dragged me across the ground. Grass and bricks tore at my skin. My night dress tore in the process.  I winced in pain but Katya did not pay attention. I screamed for her to stop, but she did not care. She didn't not care that I was pregnant. And my baby could die. She dragged me to the front yard. And I could see guards already standing there. But they were not Dimitri's guards. I did not recognize any of them. They form

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE Irina's POV  "Bring out the criminal!" A voice screamed from outside. The sound was loud and angry. It echoed through the building. Dimitri opened the door to go outside. "Stay here," he ordered. But I did not listen. I could not just sit there. I followed him down the stairs and out of the front door. And I was shocked at what I saw.The massive gate had been completely destroyed. That was what had caused what I thought was an earthquake. The trembling. The loud bangs. Everything made sense now. Cars were parked everywhere. Expensive black vehicles. Men stood in formation. At least twenty of them. Maybe more. Their faces were not smiling. They looked serious

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVENIrina's POV “Take her.” Katya ordered and immediately, the guards seized me roughly, grabbing my arms with so much fierce. Their nails dug into my skin, bruising it.Katya followed behind. I could imagine her smiling, thinking she had won.I never knew she was betrothed to Alexei since a very young age. Who would have thought. And now Alexei doesn't seem to want her.They dragged me through dark corridors.My feet scraped against the cold concrete floor.I tried to resist but their grip was too strong."Where are you taking me?" I asked. And even though I tried to act strong, my voice was shaking badly.No one answered. They just kept dragging me forward.The hallways were dimly lit. Bare bulbs hung from the ceiling.The walls were gray concrete. Cold and damp.We went through several doors. Each one heavier than the last.We went down more hallways and deeper into the building.And I knew deep down that wherever they were taking me, it won't be pleasant.As we

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINEIrina's POV Darkness surrounded me. It was thck and heavy.I could not see anything. I could not move.Was I dead? Was this what death felt like?No, I could still hear sounds. Though it was distant and muffled.I tried to move but my body would not respond.The drugs must still be working.I fought against the darkness, trying to wake up. But it was like swimming through mud. It was impossible.Then I felt a sensation. Pressure was put on my stomach. I felt something touching me.Panic flooded through me immediately. What were they doing?"Scalpel," a voice said. It was cold and clinical.No no no.They were starting the procedure. They were going to cut me open.I tried to scream but no sound came out.My mouth would not work and my body was paralyzed."Beginning the incision," the voice said.I felt a sharp pain like a line being drawn across my stomach.Tears fell from my closed eyes and I could not stop them.My baby. They were taking my baby.I tried to fig
