Replaced by His Capo, I Left the Don Chapter 9
Silas let out a choked groan, collapsing over me. Blood instantly soaked through his suit. I sat on the concrete, staring at him.His face was ashen, drenched in a cold sweat, yet his bloodshot eyes fought to stay open. He forced a weak, trembling smile at me."You're safe... that's all that matters."He lifted his blood-covered hand, shaking violently, wanting to touch the edge of my trench coat. But he hovered, as if terrified his blood would stain me. For a fraction of a second, my heart did violently contract.But I immediately scooted back. I couldn't soften. I knew perfectly well that if I showed an ounce of pity, I'd be dragged right back into the abyss that had consumed me for four years.I pulled out my phone, dialed 911, gave the address, and reported the accident.Then, I spoke into the phone:"I will cover all his medical bills."The last flicker of light in Silas's eyes died completely at those words.His hand dropped, falling lifelessly into the puddle of his own blood

That night, the worst winter storm of the year hit Chicago.I finished signing the last ledger and went downstairs.Julian was already waiting in the lobby, holding a large black umbrella."The rain is brutal tonight. I'll drive you back to your place," he smiled, his eyes gentle as always.I nodded and followed him out the revolving doors. Suddenly, a soaked figure stumbled out of the torrential rain.It was Silas.He had no umbrella. His custom black suit was plastered to his skin, and he was shivering violently. In his arms, he was fiercely protecting a box wrapped in a waterproof tarp."Scarlett!"His voice cracked. He practically shoved the box in front of me. "Look. Just look at it. One glance, please..."It was the porcelain mug Camilla had shattered. The one I threw in the trash.The words For S. Forever on the bottom were barely legible.He had glued every single piece back together, but the jagged, spiderweb cracks were still painfully obvious. I couldn't even fathom how th

I didn't fight him. I just calmly slid my wrist out of his grip.Then, I took a step back."Sir, you have the wrong person."Silas's hand hung frozen in the air."Scarlett..." His eyes instantly welled with tears, his voice breaking. "Stop this, please? I kicked Camilla out of the Famiglia. I told the Elders and the whole syndicate that the strategy was yours. Come home. We'll get married right away. What kind of dress do you want? I'll fly it in from anywhere in the world!"Julian frowned and smoothly stepped in front of me, blocking Silas."Back the fuck off," Silas hissed at Julian. "This is between me and my fiancée. It's none of your business."I stepped out from behind Julian."You mean ex-fiancée. Use the right words, Silas."I looked into his devastated eyes and let out a mocking laugh. "Besides, you and Camilla are the perfect match, aren't you? She took a bullet for you. She understands your business. Everyone says you two look perfect together. Why would I get in the way?"S

On the tenth day of Scarlett's disappearance, Silas finally stopped lying to himself.He summoned every man on his payroll. The order: Find Scarlett at all costs.Overnight, all of New York knew the future Donna of the Vance Famiglia was missing.That afternoon, Camilla showed up at the penthouse wearing a low-cut dress, sprayed in Silas's favorite perfume."Don Silas," she purred, walking behind him and dragging her manicured fingers across his shoulders. "Why waste resources looking for her? Scarlett is so boring. Didn't you get tired of her a long time ago? Maybe... you should look at who's right in front of you.""I can replace her," she whispered in his ear. "I understand you better than she ever did. You know that."Silas grabbed her wrist and violently shoved her away.Camilla stumbled, crashing hard against the sofa, barely catching her balance."You aren't worth a single hair on her head," Silas said, his voice absolute ice. "Get out."Humiliation flushed Camilla's face. Seein

(Silas's POV)Scarlett walked away, but Silas just loosened his tie in annoyance and let out a cold scoff. He didn't chase her.He knew Scarlett too well.Over the last four years, she had gotten mad, cried, slammed doors, but she never left his side.Give it three days, tops. She'd come back with red eyes and ask, Can we make up?He even felt a twisted sense of satisfaction—his fiancée was jealous. It meant she cared.He partied at the club until dawn.For the next three days, Silas drowned himself in the glory of his success. Deals, handshakes, toasts. The entire New York underworld was kissing the feet of the youngest Don at the top of the food chain.He didn't call Scarlett once.Let her cool off, he thought. When she came crawling back, he'd buy her a bigger necklace. Hell, he'd give her shares, titles, whatever she wanted.Late on the fourth night.Silas pushed open the penthouse door, reeking of booze. Out of habit, he called out, "Scarlett, get me my hangover pills—"Dead silen

The porcelain shards scattered across the floor, just like my broken heart.I remembered the day I gave it to him. He scoffed, "What's the point of a handmade mug? Any teacup in this house is worth more."Yet that night, he placed it on his nightstand, right where he'd see it the moment he woke up. I was so happy, thinking he was just tough on the outside but loved me on the inside.Now the mug was in pieces.And Silas didn't even look at it.He stood up, crossed the room in two strides, and grabbed Camilla's wrist. "Did you burn yourself?"Her other hand had brushed against a lit candle on the nightstand. Her fingertip was slightly red."I'm fine, Silas. It's just a scratch..." Her voice trembled, tears pooling in her eyes.Silas frowned, turning his furious gaze to me. "Scarlett, I'm not blaming you, but why didn't you knock? What if she got seriously hurt?"I just stared. The man I had loved for four years was frantic over a red spot on another woman's finger.I didn't say a word. I
