hey thankyou!!
Revenge and deceit are strong themes in Chekhov's works.
Our very own site, LitNet, hosts an extensive collection of his novels, plays, and short stories here

like, "An Avenger":

and "Aborigines":

And those are just off the top of my head. You can do a word search for 'revenge' or 'deceit' from his biography page and many results come up.
The main character in "The Lady and the Dog" is a habitual cheater. There's also an affair in "The Duel". The story "A Problem" is about a teenage forger. The story "A Chorus Girl" has embezzlement in it.
