Panic surged through her and she pushed Silvio away with more force than she expected.Silvio didn't stumble, but stood still..his expression unreadable.Jia's fist clenched. If Enzo's mom walked in and saw her alone in the bathroom with Silvio…she would not hesitate to cause a sceneWhat should I do. Her thoughts raced as the footsteps grew louderThen, without thinking—she grabbed Silvio's hand and pulled him toward one of the stalls."Why are we hiding?" he muttered, clearly confused. Jia quickly covered his mouth "Shushhh"Silvio's eyes widened, but he didn't argue. He grasped her wrist.. pushing her back against the wall "W-What are you doing?" Jia whispered, her eyes searching his face.He didn't answer, just stared at her— his breath steady but his grip tight. The bathroom door creaked open. Lilian's voice echoed as she entered, her eyes scanning the room. "Where could that girl be? I thought she was coming to the restroom” she muttered, setting her bag on the sink. She p

When the car came to a stop in front of Saint Hospital, Silvio stepped out, his movements sharp and confident. Jia, struggling slightly as she shifted to get out, felt his hand on her waist before she could protest. With a quiet sigh, he lifted her effortlessly, his grip firm and secure.Jia didn't resist this time. She simply wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers lightly brushing against the collar of his shirt. Silvio took her bag in his free hand and together, they made their way into the hospital.The scent of his cologne was intoxicating— that it made Jia’s senses sharpen. She leaned in slightly, her nose brushing against his neck as she inhaled deeply.A low chuckle rumbled from Silvio, breaking the silence "Seems you want us to find a room instead of seeing the doctor"Jia froze, her cheeks flushing. She hadn't meant to do that, hadn't planned on snuggling so close.She immediately pulled back, her body stiffening in his arms. Without saying a word— she relaxed again,

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 hallwayThey stopped in front of a door and he nodded

Silvio rose to his feet, slipping his hand into his pocket. Kira continued to cling to Jia but Jia kept her gaze on Silvio. "Is she your mommy?" Silvio asked, his eyes still fixed on Jia.Kira— holding tightly to Jia's hand, nodded enthusiastically "Yes, don't we look alike Uncle?" she askedSilvio's gaze shifted to Kira and a small smile crept onto his lips "Of course you do” he said, No wonder Kira reminded him so much of Rosa; and jia was just a lookalike of Rosa. Kira noticed the tension in her Jia’s posture and glanced up at her "Mommy, is everything okay? Do you know Uncle?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern Jia swallowed hard, she looked from Kira to Silvio, her mind racing. Before she could respond, Silvio's voice cut through the silence "No, we don't” he said, his words were brief and distant "Oh, okay" Kira said, nodding slowly,— though she seemed disappointed."I will take my leave then" Silvio said, turning to go but before he could take a step, Kira tugge

During the ride—Elena remained silent..her posture stiff, her fingers gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly. Jia, glancing at her—couldn't help but ask "Is everything okay?" Jia said, her voice gentle.Elena forced a smile, and it didn't quite reach her eyes "I'm fine, just a bit tired" she muttered Jia nodded but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She turned her attention to the passing scenery but Elena's unease remained. Elena stole a brief glance at Jia, the words she longed to speak hanging in her mouth. Tiziano's threat echoed in her mind.. silencing her. She kept her gaze fixed ahead, focusing on the road. When they reached Jia's house, Elena stopped and Jia stepped out, waving as she headed inside. Elena watched her go, then took a deep breath as she pulled away. Her chest tightened but she shook it off and drove through the gates. Inside— the house was eerily quiet, the lights off."They must all be asleep" she murmured to herself
