The Don Who Called Me Dirty, Begged Me Back Later Chapter 05
The rain poured over Rivermont all night.Â
The next morning, Salvatore sat in the hospital, staring at the gray sky outside the window, frowning. Bianca had been frightened the night before, so he had stayed with her overnight. Only after the doctor confirmed the baby was fine didÂ
he relax.Â
He glanced at his watch. Eight in the morning.Â
At this hour, Elena would have had breakfast ready. Even his clothes for the day would be perfectly pressed.Â
He pulled out his phone and dialed her number.Â
“I am sorry, the number you have dialed is busy…”Â
He tried three more times. Same result.Â
Salvatore’s face darkened. “Still sulking,” he muttered coldly, tossing the phone on the table. He assumed Elena was just at home, nursing her anger. If he went home and gave her a littleÂ
kindness, she would come crawling back like aÂ
stray. After all, she had no family left in this world.Â
Where else could she go except the DeLucalÂ
family?Â
Salvatore stood up and ordered his consigliere toÂ
handle Bianca’s discharge. He drove himself backÂ
to the villa.Â
He pushed open the front door. The living roomÂ
was silent.Â
No aroma of food. No slender figure waiting forÂ
him.Â
“Elena.” He changed his shoes and walked to theÂ
living room. No answer.Â
He frowned and walked upstairs, pushing open the master bedroom door. The room wasÂ
spotless. He walked to the walk–in closet andÂ
pulled open the doors.Â
Elena’s side was empty.Â
All her clothes, shoes, bags, even her skincare.Â

remained.Â
gone. Only his expensive suits.Â
Salvatore’s heart skipped a beat. He spun aroundÂ
and strode to the vanity.Â
Three items sat neatly on the surface.Â
A spare key to the villa. A pair of cufflinks he hadÂ
been searching for. And a freshly reprinted divorceÂ
agreement.Â
Signed: Elena Rossi.Â
The handwriting cut deep into the page.Â
Salvatore stared at the document. IrritationÂ
flickered in his eyes. “Playing this game twice is just boring.”Â
He picked up the agreement, about to tear it upÂ
again, when his phone rang.Â
It was his consigliere, his voice tense. “Don, weÂ
have a problem.”Â
“The eastern district new energy project – theÂ
partner has suddenly requested a pause on allÂ
progress.”Â
Salvatore’s eyes sharpened. “Why?”Â
“They said Miss Elena was the one handling theÂ
project. Now that she has resigned, they do notÂ
trust the new team we sent.”Â
Salvatore’s hand tightened around the phone.Â
“What do you mean, she resigned?”Â
“Yes, sir. Miss Elena submitted her resignationÂ
through the internal system last night.” TheÂ
consigliere swallowed. His voice dropped evenÂ
lower.
