As Enzo left her room, Jia walked in..her eyes landing on her bag. She brought out the contract, her fingers brushing over the paper as she scanned through the terms. A frown creased her brow. She was going to return this to him.

She grabbed her phone, her thumb hovering over the screen as she typed a quick message to Silvio.

"Let's see and talk."

She hesitated for a moment before hitting send.

The phone buzzed after five minutes, his reply short and to the point "7pm at Silveri Estate"

Jia locked her phone, her fingers curling around it as she exhaled slowly, her mind racing. She muttered under her breath "He's a danger to my life and my kids”

The next evening, Jia hailed a cab, her thoughts spinning as the city lights blurred outside the window. At Silveri Estate, the security guards waved her through without a second glance.

"Where is Silvio?" she asked

"Follow me” The man didn't look at her, only led her through the vast hallway

They stopped in front of a door and he nodded

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 63: you are just his baby carrier

    The morning light filtered softly through the glass walls of the rooftop garden as Jia's eyes snapped open. Her head rested on Silvio's chest, while his arms were wrapped securely around her waist. She could feel the warmth of his body and as her gaze shifted downward, the memory of last night flooded her mind—intense, passionate and unforgettable He had promised to be gentle but in the end, he had pushed her to the edge, making her beg before allowing her to sleep. Her cheeks flushed at the memory.She didn't regret a single moment. Despite the raw intensity of it all, she knew she would always cherish this night, locked away in her heart forever She glanced at him. Silvio looked almost harmless while sleeping, his usual dangerous demeanor softened in his sleep. She reached out..her fingers hovering over his skin but hesitated He rarely slept deeply and she knew that one wrong move could wake him. She had to go before he opened his eyes.Carefully, she shifted his arm off her wa

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 62: you taste so sweet

    After a moment of silence, Silvio placed his hand on Jia's shoulder, his thumb brushing away the tears that had fallen. Silently ..he scooped her up, catching her off guard Jia didn't flinch—instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her toward his car.He set her down gently in the passenger seat, adjusting the seatbelt around her before shutting the door. He slid into the driver's seat, the engine humming to life as he pulled away from the curb, the sound of rain tapping softly on the windows Jia stared out at the rainy city,the streets were empty in the downpour Silvio's eyes flicked toward her, noticing how she curled up in the seat"Are you cold?" His voice was steady, though his focus remained on the road "I'm not” she replied softly, her voice barely audible, eyes never leaving the blurred streets outside.Silvio could hear the lie but he said nothing. The car hummed along through the rain, his mind on other things as they drove on until they arrived a

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 61: Why am I crying again

    As Jia hurried to her car, Elena's voice stopped her in her tracks "Aren't you joining me for shopping?"Jia turned, offering a tired smile "I have to hurry home to my kids, I haven't spent much time with them lately.."Elena nodded, her expression understanding.Without hesitation, she rushed over and wrapped Jia in a quick hug "See you later then" she said.Jia returned the embrace, then nodded before waving goodbye. She slid into the car, shut the door and started the engine As she drove, her mind replayed Elena's bold confession and Silvio's reaction, a familiar twist forming in her stomach, Jia’s grip on the steering wheel tightened "I can't be angry... I shouldn't be feeling this way" she muttered under her breath, trying to reason with herself"But why can't I be happy for her? Elena likes Silvio and she's my friend. I should be happy for her” she repeated the words, over and over like a mantra but the words did little to settle the unease inside her.She arrived outsid

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 60: I like you Silvio

    Before Jia could answer, Elena chimed in with a smile "We are heading out for lunch""We are also having lunch" Tiziano said smoothly "Why don't you join us?"Jia quickly shook her head “We are fine on our own, Tiziano" she replied softly There was a brief, uneasy silence.. Elena—however, hesitated. She didn't want to spend any time near Tiziano, but the thought of being so close to Silvio made it impossible to say no After a moment, she turned to Jia "Why don't we join them?" Elena suggested Jia's eyes widened as she glanced over at Tiziano, who was staring at her with a look she couldn't quite decipher. Her gaze flicked to Elena—who gave her a reassuring nod With a sigh, Jia finally agreed "Alright" she said quietly, her heart pounding in her chest When they arrived at the restaurant, they were ushered into a private room, where a lavish feast awaited them. The waitress quickly set the table, offering them a final check to ensure everything was to their liking before stepp

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 59: Gosh, I hate pretenders

    Days had passed since the incident and Jia still hadn't heard a word about Silvio. She tried to forget him but the harder she tried, the more his memory stayed Today, she was at the grand hotel in Rome for an audition. Her nerves tingling as she glanced at herself in the rearview mirror. She adjusted her glasses and straightened her posture.. taking in her reflection Just as she was about to step out.. the car door opened unexpectedly. Jia looked up..startled."Elena" she said, her voice soft but relievedElena gave her a small smile, without a word—she placed a cap on Jia's head"You will need this" Elena saidJia studied herself in the mirror one last time, then shut the car door with a soft thud, they walked into the hotel lobby together. The audition was taking place in a private wing of the hotel and Jia knew most of the actresses thereHer name was called and she stood to enter.Time seemed to stretch as she disappeared behind the door. Moments later—she emerged, her face li

  • Under The Don’s Command    Chapter 58: Have I fallen for him

    Inside the yacht, Elena tended to Silvio's wound with gentle hands Jia and Tiziano sat in silence nearby but Jia couldn't help but steal glances at the way Elena worked so carefully, so close to Silvio. The way their shoulders brushed, a knot twisted in Jia's stomach.Tiziano noticed the change in her expression, clearing his throat— he shifted his gaze to Jia "Is something on your mind?" he asked, his tone calm Jia's eyes darted to him and she forced a small smile, though it didn't reach her eyes "How did you and Silvio meet?" she asked, voice quieter than she intended Tiziano's lips curled slightly "We are brothers” he replied.Jia blinked, surprised "Brothers?" she repeated, her voice soft with disbelief Tiziano nodded, the smile still playing at the corners of his lips. Jia frowned slightly and after a second…she asked "But you don't share the same last name?"Tiziano grew silent for a moment, his gaze flicking away.. deep in thought. Then he spoke "Not everyone wants to b
