All Chapters of The Mute Bride For The Don: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

I gasped and immediately pulled my arm toward my chest. The pain came sharply, spreading through my wrist as I stared down at the cut. Blood was already running along my skin, and for a moment, I could only stand there in shock, trying to process what had just happened. One of the maids immediately moved toward me, her face filled with concern, but Anastasia’s sharp glare stopped her in her tracks. “Everyone, leave.” Her voice was cold enough to silence the entire room. The maids exchanged nervous glances before quickly lowering their heads and leaving the sitting room. None of them dared question her. Within moments, the room was almost empty, leaving only Anastasia, Tanya, and me. Anastasia’s gaze shifted toward me, and there wasn’t even a trace of sympathy in her expression. “Perhaps now you’ll learn your lesson,” she said coldly. “You should have known better than to fight back. You keep trying to defend yourself and fight for things you have no right to. Maybe this will fin

Both of them turned to look at me, and Ivan slowly rose from where he’d been kneeling.I ignored Ivan and walked directly to face Tanya. “This is where I draw the line, Tanya. I’ve had it up to my fucking neck,” I said. “I accept the fact that I was a servant and tolerated every insult about my status and having nothing. But I’m Ivan’s wife now. You will respect that, the same way I respect you as his sister. And in that regard, I was injured, and you did that to me too, and you still have the nerve to demand that you sleep here, so where the fuck do you expect me to sleep? Where will I stay if you sleep here?”Tanya lifted her brows, and her expression changed as she smiled mockingly at me. “There are plenty of rooms here,” she said sarcastically. “And Sofia’s room is also available. Weren’t you so eager to play her mother and be a mother to her? Have you ever actually spent a night there? Perhaps tonight’s the perfect opportunity for you to do just that.”She glanced at Ivan. “Isn’t

My hand had barely reached the door when it opened from the inside and Vanya stepped out, startled to find me there. The look she gave me once that surprise fell away was one of pure anger.“What are you doing here?” she asked. “Aren’t you going to tuck your little sister in? Make sure she has a good night’s sleep? Sister Tucker.”The tone of her voice was sharp, and I honestly couldn’t believe how she wasn’t willing to let it go.“Come on,” I said, my brows furrowed. “That’s so harsh. Does your anger actually make you speak that way?”“I’m not going to speak to you. In fact, I do not want to ever do so again, Ivan. I will not talk to you,” she said immediately, already trying to brush past me.“Come,” I said, catching her hand before she could leave. “Come, let’s go to sleep.”“I’m not sleeping in that room,” she said. “Tanya is sleeping in the room.”I sighed. “Come, you will sleep in our room. That’s your room, Birdie. No one deserves to sleep in that room except you,” I said. “Com

“Is there something wrong with you?” I asked her.“I remember when one of my friends who was pregnant was behaving in this same way.” Anastasia suddenly spoke up, looking at Vanya with interest. “Things that used to be normal for her, smells and tastes, suddenly started to turn her stomach overnight. Are you pregnant, Vanya? You do know Ivan has no interest in children, right? Could it mean you are pregnant?”My entire body froze. I turned to Vanya to see her stiffen and stare down.“No, I’m not pregnant,” she said, brushing it off. “I just don’t want it.”Right. “I’m sure she isn’t pregnant. It’s just something normal.” How could Vanya be pregnant? That wasn’t possible.“Yes, I just don’t want it today.”“I believe you,” I said, ending the matter once and for all.~Later that afternoon, I was walking through the upper floor when I heard a voice. I turned to find Tanya on the phone, and the moment she noticed me, she fumbled, nearly dropping the device, but I caught it before it cou

He knew something was wrong with her, even if she wasn’t telling him, and that bothered him greatly. “I don’t like it when anyone keeps secrets from me, Vanya, and you dare not keep a secret from me. Everyone is now keeping secrets; there is something going on each time but I won’t take it, especially not from you.” His voice lowered, and his gaze stayed on her as he continued. “So what are you not saying?”Vanya’s throat tightened, but she was starting to get frustrated. “I’m fine, Ivan. Truly. You are just overthinking the whole thing, I am okay.”“Then why are you so lost? Just back there downstairs, you couldn’t eat what you love so much.”“It smelled off,” she said. “I couldn’t eat it.”“It’s something you love,” he pressed. “How could it suddenly smell off?”“Why does it matter so much?” she snapped. “I don’t want to eat it. Why are you bothered about it?”“Fine, I won’t bother about it,” he said, turning toward the closet before pausing abruptly and turning back. “Are you pregn
