I Accidentally Married a Mafia Boss CHAPTER 20: What Monsters Hide in Silence
The door shut with a weight that echoed too loud in the stillness.Izora didn’t move.Kaiser stood there, hardly inside the room, his breathing low and harsh, as if he struggled to remain calm. Blood hung on his skin like battle paint, shimmering in spots down his arms, absorbing into the hem of his shirt. Certain of it had dried and cracked at the knuckles' curvature.He was terrifying in that moment—not because of the blood, but because of the silence.She had expected shouting. A sharp command. Even rage.But he said nothing.His gray eyes locked onto hers, but they weren’t searching—they were measuring. As if trying to decide who she was now that she had seen this version of him.Izora sat motionless on the velvet couch, her breath caught somewhere between her throat and chest. When her voice did show up at last, it was little above a whisper.“…What happened?”No answer.His look stayed the same, but his jaw tightened—just enough for her to feel.“Is it yours?” she asked, softer

A sharp gasp sliced through the air as Kaiser stumbled forward, his hand clutching his left arm. The fine fabric of his black tailored shirt darkened with blood, and the rich scent of it hit Izora’s nose before the sight fully registered. A second later, his legs gave out beneath him.“Kaiser!” Izora shrieked.His body collapsed to the marble floor of the great hall, his fall sounding like a gunshot across the estate. Her bare feet skidded slightly on the glossy floor as she sank to her knees and ran towards him. The once-controlled man now looked human. Pale is it. precarious. As he battled the agony, his jaw tightened; nevertheless, she could sense something was off in his eyes.Something deeper than the wound.“Kaiser,” she whispered, reaching for his face. “Kaiser, what happened? You said it was nothing—”He was not able to talk though. His breaths were short bursts, and his brow already glistened with sweat. Izora murmured, "oh No," her heart thumping against her ribs. " Where th

The rain had slowed, but thunder still grumbled across the night sky like a warning that refused to die down.Izora stood frozen by the open window, her breath fogging the cold glass. The blood-drawn "B" stared back at her like a mocking whisper, daring her to look deeper.Enoch was already barking orders through a comm on his wrist. “Lock the east wing. Sweep for intruders. No one gets out. No one gets in.”His usual calm was cracked—just slightly—but Izora could feel it. The mansion, once suffocatingly quiet, now buzzed with hidden movement. Men in dark suits swept through the hallways, guns drawn, voices clipped.She reached up and pulled the velvet curtain across the bloodstained window. Her hands were shaking again."What does 'B' mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Enoch turned, his pale blue eyes calculating. “It’s a message.”She raised a brow. “I gathered that.”“It could mean many things,” he replied curtly, walking back toward the breached wall safe. “Could

The air smelt sterile, antiseptic hanging thickly mixing with the muffled hum of medical equipment. The low lighting creates shadows on the ivory walls from which the monitor's reflection blinks red and green in constant rhythm.But then—the monitor's tone shifted. Two rapid beeps broke through the hush like gunfire.All four turned at once.Kaiser stirred.His throat opened to a low, guttural groan. His fingers quitched next to the immaculate white sheet, nails delicately brushing the mattress's edge. Although the boom was hardly discernible, Izora may as well have heard thunder. "Kaiser? Her voice was a whisper, shaking as she hurried to be by his side. Her silk robe hung on her body, moist at the neck with sweat, and she realised she was still barefoot. Her heart hurt because it was hammering so fiercely. Every bit of her felt stretched, like a violin string just about breaking. Blinking gently, he fluttered on pale skin. His eyes—still that sharp, stormy gray beneath a haze of pa

Claude turned his head.Otis looked up.Kaiser didn’t blink.“She signed her name next to mine.” He lifted his gaze, and his gray eyes were dark, storm-churned. “They branded her as my kin. That makes her bait. And the target.”“And you plan to just keep her locked in the mansion forever?” Claude asked quietly.Kaiser looked down at the crown etched on the screen. Acid-burned. Split in two.“No,” he said.“I plan to make sure no one lives long enough to try touching her.”A sharp silence fell again, heavier this time.Otis’s finger twitched against the tablet.Claude raised a brow. “That sounds personal.”Kaiser didn’t respond. But the look in his eyes was answer enough.Personal didn’t even begin to cover it.---**Back at the mansion**Even though it hadn't rained in hours, the air still felt heavy and cool like it did. Izora sat on the edge of her bed with a wool throw around her shoulders. Her breath made the windows in her room slightly foggy. The silk robe she had worn was now t

The huge trees framing the mansion hummed with the wind outside, their leaves brushing against stone walls like restless murmurs. Spring had at last released the grip of winter, and sunshine sloppily poured through Izora's bedroom's tall windows, bathing the velvet drapes in golden warmth over the polished marble floor. Still, a hollow frost hung on her bones despite their modest beauty.Izora stood at the balcony door, her reflection blurred in the glass. Her skin, once pale and drawn, had taken on a soft glow again. A few pounds had returned to her frame; her cheeks were fuller, her collarbone less stark, her curves no longer hidden beneath layers of fatigue. She had healed, at least physically.But her soul—her soul still hovered in limbo.“It’s almost a month now,” she whispered, her breath fogging the glass slightly. “Does he not want me to play his wife anymore?”She turned from the window, securely encircling her waist with the satin ribbon of her robe. Under the correct light,

Back at the Office – East Wing Surveillance RoomThrough the tinted glass, the men watched Kaiser carry Izora like a prize claimed in battle. Silent for a beat, the tension in the room shifted from surprise to something murkier.Otis whistled low, propping his legs casually on the table's edge strewn with surveillance feeds and files. “I think I’m starting to like the boss’s wife,” he said, grinning. “Girl’s got fire.”Claude didn’t look away from the screen, his dark eyes narrowed. “The boss is changing because of that girl,” he muttered. “I don’t like the sound of it.”Otis kicked his foot once in amusement. “And how’s that any of your business? That’s his wife you’re calling ‘that girl,’ remember?”Claude scoffed. “A wife for two months, and one’s almost up. Don’t romanticize it.”Otis tilted his head. “You think he’s gonna let her go in a month?” He smirked. “He said he wouldn’t release her until everything is ‘solved.’ You think that’ll wrap up with a bow in four weeks?”Enoch sa

“I said we’re out.” Holding the empty orange bottle in my palm, I watched it as though it may replenish itself with enough time. Already on to the next customer, the chemist hardly turned behind as he left. My knuckles whitened, and my hold tightened around the plastic. “Please,” I called after him. “There has to be something you can do. My mother needs that medication.” “We don’t do miracles here,” he said over his shoulder. “We do receipts.” I didn’t realize how hard I was breathing until I turned around and nearly tripped over the child behind me. The line behind me had grown. Everyone was staring like I was something tragic on the news. I shoved the door open and into the heavy evening air. The streets smelt like grease and rain, and the wind bit my flimsy sweatshirt like it was paper. I reached for my phone. No new texts. No calls. Just the glowing reminder: *Low Balance. $3.26 remaining.* A bus screamed past, dousing my trainers with a wave of soiled water. I bit my

Not loud. Not angry. But something in the way he said it made her stomach twist.Izora looked up at him, guilt painting her features. “I just didn’t want people to think she still had a place beside you. I thought... you wanted them to believe we were real.”His arms tightened slightly around her.And for a long moment, he didn’t answer.Then, finally, he whispered, “You did what a wife would do.”Her breath caught.It wasn’t praise.It wasn’t punishment either.It was something else entirely.Something dangerously close to approval.Half-expecting, half-hoping, Izora was still waiting for Kaiser to drop her now they were alone. Her fingers hung uneasily close to his chest, unsure whether she should continue to cling on or wriggle to the floor. Rather than releasing her, though, he changed his grip slightly one arm under her legs, the other around her rear, and began to walk once more.Her eyes widened. “What… what are you doing?”“You look tired,” he replied smoothly, his tone unread

Izora lowered her head slightly, her voice soft and clear. “Greetings, Your Highness.”Peter Eirian blinked, the corner of his mouth twitching with amusement. He turned to his son, His eyes narrowed in imitation contempt. “You did not tell her, did you?” He said, the words more of a statement than a query.Kaiser didn’t respond.Peter exhaled through his nose, a short huff that carried both annoyance and affection. Without warning, he slapped his son on the back—not hard, but firm enough that Kaiser’s shoulders barely moved under the tailored cut of his suit.“She’s greeting me like we’re still in the bloody Victorian era,” Peter muttered. “We don’t bow and scrape anymore. And you—'" With a smile that lessened the chill in his gaze only a degree, he turned back at Izora. “You're not really obliged to be so courteous. Enough of that for a lifetime has gone by”. Izora gave a little, reluctant smile, but her heart skipped beats in her chest. Peter looked at her a second more. Then his
