All Chapters of Under The Don’s Command : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

She didn't understand. What was so dangerous about Silveri Estate? Were there traps? Wild animals? The questions buzzed in her mind but before she could ask more, the driver looked away. Jia stepped out, she watched the car drive off.. the engine's growl fading into the night. Was this a sign? Maybe she should go home...A car screeched to a stop in front of her. She leaned down, her eyes narrowing on the driver."Silveri Estate"The driver's face twisted, his eyes flickering to the side. “Ma,am it’s forbidden to go there” he said “How about I give you extra money” Jia askedThe driver hesitated, eyes darting from her face to the rearview mirror. He muttered something under his breath, then gave a short nod "I will get you close but I won't drop you off at the Estate. This is as far as I go."“Okay then” Jia said, sliding into the backseat. The car roared down the road, its headlights throwing shadows over the trees that lined the narrow path. Thirty minutes later.. the driver

She hesitated, her fingers hovering over the switch then shook her head, frowning "How can you eat, when it's so dark in here?" Her voice was tight, like she was holding something back.Silvio didn't answer and the silence deepened.Jia's jaw tightened, she curled her fingers into a fist then turned sharply and walked into the bathroom. Few minutes later, she emerged..holding a basin of water and a small towel. Her footsteps were steady as she set them down beside the noodles."Come eat” she said, her voice gentler, though still holding a hint of something unsaid.Silvio didn't move, he sat at the edge of the bed, the bowl of noodles in his hand but his eyes were blank, like he wasn't really there.The knock on the door startled her and Silvio looked up. "Come in" he said, not looking away from his noodles.Damian entered, holding a small medicine bag, he dropped it onto the table."You can go” Silvio said, scooping a spoonful of noodles into his mouthDamian nodded, his eye

During the ride home, Jia stared out the window, watching the trees blur by. Her mind drifted back to earlier—Mira's pregnancy and them being together. Did Mira shoot me that day because she has always been in love with Silvio and she sees me as a threat? And Silvio never knew the truth. Now she's carrying his child? What a world She clenched her jaw. They deserve each other and that Mira, I'm coming for you when the time is right. As for Silvio... I don't need to see him again. I have returned his jacket, and that's the last tie between us.**********Three days later, Silvio sat in his study, facing the large glass window. The soft light filtered through the trees outside as he puffed on a cigarette, the smoke curling upward. A knock on the door broke his focus."Come in" he called, his voice clear.The door creaked open and Damian entered, holding a brown envelope"Don, there's a package from Saint Hospital” Silvio turned his chair slowly, eyeing Damian. “Drop it” he commanded

"Silvio studied her for a long moment. His gaze shifted to Antonio, sweat forming on his forehead as Silvio’s stare sharpened Antonio cleared his throat, his voice breaking as he spoke "Don, I'm sorry... please forgive me"Silvio’s lips curled into a sneer, the scoff sharp and cutting through the heavy silence. “Forgive?” His voice was low and cold “What I hate most is betrayal and I don’t forgive those who betray me” He paused, leaning in slightly, his eyes narrowing “Now I want you to give me a clear answer. Who are you working for?” Antonio’s throat tightened, his words stuttering “N..no..one” Silvio’s expression darkened and then to Antonio’s shock, he burst into laughter—a bitter and humorless sound. He stood and grabbed Damian’s gun from his pocket, aimed it and fired without hesitation. Antonio screamed as the bullet struck his leg.The sound of the shot echoed and Esa flinched, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes darted to Antonio,who jerked against his rest

After the meal, Jia and Elena headed to the bathroom to touch up their makeup.Jia leaned against the sink as Elena opened her red lipstick and carefully applied it, the color gliding onto her lip. She pressed her lips together, blending the shade..before turning to Jia."How well do you know Mr. Tiziano?" Jia asked, her voice soft "Is he hard to work with?"Elena paused, studying herself in the mirror as she finished adjusting her lipstick "He's the CEO of Titan's Entertainment, where I work. He's been out of the country for five years—people say he's started a business in Tokyo” She leaned in slightly, her reflection a little closer to Jia's now "Actually, this is the first time I'm seeing him in real life. I started at the company a year ago" Elena then lowered her voice "And his real name isn't Tiziano. It's just a stage name” Jia's eyes widened, a slight gasp escaping her. "Really? How do you know?"A sly smile tugged at Elena's lips "He's my boss. I need to know a little more
