The Silent Don Novels & Stories

“Are you alright?” The Italian Don blinked once, hard, forcing himself back into control. His jaw tightened, his eyes instantly hardening into steel. “Yes,” he said, his voice smooth but deadly low as he snatched his eyes from Sila’s smiling face and turned towards Declan. “Just… surprised to meet such a familiar face.” He said pointing towards Sierra. Declan's eyes narrowed at his comment and he wrapped a possessive hand around Sierra’s thin waist. “Familiar? This isn’t the first time my fiancee came to States.”

The feeling scared me because it’s my first time I didn’t know what to do about it. I’ve not seen Don in action like I have seen Luciano. I’ve not seen his hands stained with blood. I’ve not heard him beat up a man to death. I’ve not seen him put a bullet into someone’s head but I could tell how domineering and dangerous Don was. Silence is golden and calmness is bliss but for Don, it seems like a weapon that he uses to strike when you let your guard down. Don is every bit of a dangerous man like Luciano. Or even worse, I do not know.

A shape, Faint, Tall, Human—but not. Donato's heart slammed against his ribs. The figure didn't move closer. It simply watched him. Silent , still and waiting. For what? Donato swallowed hard. "Who are you?" The figure didn't answer. The air tightened, cold as a submerged tomb. Donato took a step back instinctively—but the shadows behind him thickened, pressing him forward again. A prison made of darkness. "Fine," he said through clenched teeth, summoning every ounce of Morano steel in his veins. "If you want me to touch it..."

Instead, he rearranged his thoughts and carefully asked, “Shall I get a shadow for Madame?” “Why?” Those eyes in the rearview mirror were impaling him, and Robert quickly added, “Sorry, Don.” He shot a nod at the driver. “Let’s go.” The journey continued in chilling silence. Robert had never been this thankful for the silent mode of his phone. Even the driver looked too frightened to sweat, fearing that the Don would catch the bead trickling down and blow up. Cautiously, he checked his phone for Mr Smith’s text and fell into despondence.

Barely turning my back, Kaden rushed to my side, grabbing my hand in a tight grip. " Aren’t you going to say goodbye to your betrothed, Little One?" he said in a deep, gruff voice, almost unrecognizable. Deon and the other men went silent, turning their focus away from the food and toward us. I looked up, meeting his piercing dark red eyes. They looked possessed, almost demonic.

“Fine. Sit in your silence. Drink your brandy. Watch your fire. But remember this, Giovanni — when I win, when Holly is nothing but ash, you will regret not standing with me.” He didn’t move. He didn’t speak. And that silence followed me as I walk towards the door, heavier than any words he could have spoken. ** I turned sharply, my heels striking the marble, fury trailing behind me like smoke. My pulse thundered in my ears. Giovanni had betrayed me with silence. Holly was dismantling me piece by piece. And I was alone. I reached the door, my hand on the handle, ready to storm out into the night. That was when his voice finally came.

Lauren rebutted, confidently. "Are you sure about that? Listen to this." At first, Lauren heard nothing but the noise from the party. Just when she was about to sneer, she heard Malcolm's voice. His voice wasn't loud but the entire hall was pin silent so she could hear everything he said. She listened for a few minutes before her mouth opened in shock. She was so D. O. O. M. E. D!

Didn't care. I just stared at him. Said nothing. "Isa. Say something. Anything. Please." He wrung his hands, in real pain. This was how he used to be when I'd gone quiet on him. Begging me not to give him the silent treatment. Pain made him human again. He wasn't the untouchable Don anymore. He was almost that gentle broke kid again. But I wasn't that girl anymore. The one he'd lied to. Nothing real grows out of a lie.

Frank stood by the closed door, shoulders squared, his presence pressing against the air itself. Then, slowly, he turned. Every movement measured. Every step intentional. His eyes found mine across the concrete floor, dark and unwavering. And then he spoke. The words were sharp in the silence, as bare and cutting as a blade. “No.” The room seemed to shrink around that single word. Every heartbeat, every thought, every fear pressed in tighter. I blinked, swallowing hard. There was nothing to argue with, just him. And the quiet, absolute weight of his answer.

“Kings don’t win by shouting louder. They win by choosing when to be silent.” Nathan held his gaze — chest still burning from indignity and bruises alike. “…You think I can win him.” Silas didn’t smile. But something like agreement flickered in his eyes. “I think,” he said quietly, “that if you keep meeting his rage with rage… you’ll both burn to ash.” He dropped the cloth into the basin, water turning pink. “And Damian Vitale does not need another ghost haunting him.” Silas finished wiping away the blood, tossing the cloth aside. The silence between them was heavy — not hostile, but forged in an uneasy truce neither had openly acknowledged.
