All Chapters of Blood And Betrayal : Chapter 81 - Chapter 89

CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE Irina's POV  Everything hurt so badly I could barely breathe. My stomach felt like it was on fire. After Dimitri got out of the car I tried to stop him. "No!" I screamed but he was already gone. "Drive!" Dimitri shouted to the driver whose name was Alexei, surprisingly. But I didn't care. Even though that name was the last thing I wanted to hear, I had to trust this one with my life.  Alexei stepped on the gas and we shot forward. Bullets immediately started hitting the car. "Get down!" Alexei yelled at me. I tried to duck but the pain was too much. We swerved violently and I was thrown against the door. More bullets hit the car and gla

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE Irina's POV  I woke up to the sound of voices arguing outside my room. One voice was Dimitri's, the other was a woman's. I tried to sit up but pain shot through my body. I gasped and lay back down. The door opened and Dimitri came in. His face looked troubled. "Who was that?" I asked. "No one important," he said quickly. But I could tell he was lying. "Dimitri," I said. "Do not lie to me." He sighed and sat down beside me. "That was Marina," he said. "Roberto's wife." My heart sank. She had fought for me against her husband and I hadn't gotten a chance to thank her. "What did she want?" I asked. 

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE    Irina's POV     After Dimitri left I sat alone with my thoughts.    My son was stable now but I was still scared.    What if someone tried to hurt him again?    What if Katya came back?    "Do not worry ma'am," the guard Dimitri left said as though he could read my thoughts. "We will protect you both."    I nodded but I did not feel safe.    A nurse came in to check on me. "How are you feeling Mrs Volkov?" She asked kindly.   

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN Irina The gunshot rang out like thunder. My whole body went cold with fear.I watched in horror as Ivan pulled the trigger. But then something impossible happened. Mikhail moved faster than I thought possible for an old man. He threw himself in front of Dimitri.The bullets hit him instead. Once, twice, three times. Blood sprayed everywhere. Mikhail fell to the ground hard. "No!" Dimitri screamed. Everything was happening too fast. My mind could barely keep up.Behind me in the NICU my baby was crying. Marina was still in there with him. In front of me Mikhail was bleeding on the floor. And Dimitri was standing frozen in shock. What

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE Irina I lay in the hospital bed staring at the ceiling. Dimitri had just left and the room felt empty without him. My body ached everywhere from the surgery and the fight with Marina.But the physical pain was nothing compared to the fear in my heart.Dimitri was planning to go to war tonight against Viktor Orlov and his army of men. What if he did not come back? What if our son grew up without a father? Tears started falling down my face.I tried to wipe them away but they kept coming. A nurse entered the room. "Mrs Volkov," she said gently. "How are you feeling?" "Scared," I admitted honestly. "That is understandable," the nurse said. "You have been through a lot." She checked my vitals and ad
