All Chapters of The Mute Bride For The Don: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

My brows furrowed as I ignored her greeting as she sat between Luca and me.The waitresses brought in more booze and Luca offered to pour me a glass, but I refused the first glass, yet he continued offering me drinks despite my reluctance.“No one discusses business without a proper drink,” Luca insisted, and eventually I accepted a single glass.The night went on, and Luca and I moved toward a quieter area as he finally divulged his findings to me, which came as a surprise because the godfather he mentioned was the least I’d suspected.I downed the last sip from my glass as my jaw clenched.Something didn’t add up, but I would investigate more and definitely get to the root of it.I already had what I came for, but Luca asked that I stay back for a while, as payment for the information he’d given me.He was celebrating a little victory, hence the little crowd he’d pulled to the room. I didn’t give one fuck about all of that, all I wanted was to get back home to Vanya, but it would b

Vanya.“Tanya.” My own voice came out thin. “It’s you.”Fear rattled my bones as I watched Tanya’s lips curl devilishly. Even after recovering from most of the injuries Ivan had inflicted on her during the torture, she looked frail and far from the Tanya Petrov that I knew.But what the hell was she doing here? In Russia…My hand went to my coat pocket on instinct. My phone was still there. With shaky fingers, I hastily unlocked it and brought up Ivan’s number.But the call had not even connected when the phone was snatched away from my grip.Tanya held it up between two fingers, her expression twisting with mockery.“Are you sick, Vanya?” she asked with a dark chuckle. “Look at you. It seems you are so fucking miserable. You are pregnant and yet already reaching for your husband like a child calling for its father. Oh, are you calling Ivan?” she sang the last sentence childishly. “You want your husband to come save his little helpless princess from me? Huh?! You want to be saved so

“Did you not hear me before?” Tanya chuckled crazily, excitement flashing in her eyes as she watched me shiver with pleasure. “I’ll do exactly what Ivan had taught me,” she said. “I’ll do everything, Vanya. And I’ll enjoy it slowly as I make you suffer exactly as I have for the past six months!”She stood, unbuttoned her shirt, and pulled it off until she wore nothing above. Then she turned back, and I flinched as I saw the large scars covering her body. They were dark, and the little ones were healing. But the rest were bigger and terrible enough that most of them would remain for the rest of her life.“Look very carefully, Vanya. Look at my body. I’ll put each and every one of these scars into your body. I’ll remind him of every single one of them,” she said.“I did nothing wrong to you, Tanya,” I said, tears slipping down my face as I confronted her about the unfairness of it all. “This is all your fault, and your mother’s. Why would you blame me if Ivan hit you for your own mis

Heat tingled under the skin as pain hit me, followed by a spreading dizziness. I fought it, still begging, still trying to bargain, but the drug moved faster than my words. My head spun. I struggled to focus, but I was getting increasingly dizzy. I heard Tanya’s laughter echo faintly in my ears as she waved her hand in front of my face. “Can you see me?” she asked. “Please, Tanya… let me go…” “You think it was luck finding you like this?” Tanya continued speaking. “I’ve had eyes inside that house this entire time. Your husband is careful, but not careful enough. You go out with your little body guards all around you, but people talk when they are frightened enough. Your little maid, Anna, a simple threat from me was all it took, and she tells me everything that goes on in that house.” She laughed. “She told me every time you were left alone, every time the Don stayed away. Waiting was only a matter of choosing the right time to attack, and here we are.” “Anna,” I whispe

She flinched as Tanya splashed water on her face, then Tanya crouched down in front of her, gripping a fistful of her hair and forcing her head up.Vanya groaned as Tanya traced a circle around her face with a finger and smiled down at her, her voice lowering as she whispered excitedly. “Very soon, you won’t have this pretty face of yours anymore. Ivan will never look at it the same way again. I’ll make sure of it.”Vanya laughed, taking Tanya slightly aback as she shook her head. “Did you honestly believe my face was what drew Ivan to me?” she asked.Tanya’s lips pressed tightly together. “Of course it is, if it isn’t what do you think did? Love?!”“Oh wait! Your fake innocent attitude? It’s definitely that.” She rasped, shoving Vanya’s head back before standing. The second Tanya’s attention shifted, Vanya drove the sharp metal into the soft flesh of Tanya’s calf with every remaining ounce of strength she had.“You! Bitch!” Tanya screamed. Blood welled instantly from the wound as her
