Sunlight filtered through the estate's arched windows, casting a warm shine over the beautiful mansion's features. Outside the immaculate gardens, birds twittered pleasantly, but the air within the Eirian house was tense.

Izora faced the full-length mirror while a maid secured the last clasp on her dark emerald dress. The designer gown embraced her figure with graceful accuracy, the material complementing the intricate patterns of the caverns etched into the stone columns across the estate, an intentional gesture by the chief maid to impress Kaiser’s famously demanding mother.

"You resemble a stunning mermaid, Mrs. Eirian," the maid murmured before backing away with a courteous bow.

Izora did not reply. Her fingers trembled softly as they touched the gown's edge. She was worried about what happened next, not about the outfit or the formality of the occasion.

Kaiser’s parents had arrived.

She heard them before she saw them. Footsteps down the main hall. Low voices, one sharp and comm

    The faint sounds of footsteps and conversation in the hallway were muffled by the door's silent closure behind them. With only one old-fashioned lamp on the desk and the aroma of sandalwood and old books, the study was serene.Kaiser remained straight, shoulders set, hands still in his pockets. His father appeared to be contemplating something important as he leaned against the wide window, which was illuminated by the morning sun, and gazed out over the estate grounds.Peter Eirian didn’t turn to face him immediately.“You’ve put that girl’s life in danger,” he said at last, his voice low but steady.Kaiser's mouth clenched. "It was you who claimed to like her." At last, Peter turned and replied, "I do." His eyes were keen, yet his face was unreadable. "I'm saying this now for that reason."Kaiser raised a brow. “I’m protecting her.”Peter stepped closer, folding his arms. “Not enough. You may think she’s just your wife on paper, but if anyone even suspects she means something to you

  • I Accidentally Married a Mafia Boss   Chapter 28: Shifting Walls

    Izora saw Enoch leaning against the doorway of one of the sitting rooms as she heard her footsteps echoing down the marble corridor, swift and uneven. Wearing charcoal pants pressed to a razor's edge, a fitting black shirt that shaped to his slender figure, and sleeves pushed up just enough to show the edge of a watch that likely cost more than a year's rent, he exuded his customary quiet dominance. His eyes were as piercing and impenetrable as ever, and his white-blond hair fell just over one eye.She halted a step away from him, panting heavily. “Enoch,” she said, attempting to calm her voice. "I require your assistance." He cocked his head, his eyes squinting just a bit. “I have to phone my mom,” she stated. “She will feel concerned.” More than a day has passed, and she hasn’t received any news from me. She is unwell. “If I don’t reach out to her, she’ll believe something is wrong with me.” Enoch remained silent for an extended moment. A subtle tension in his jaw suggested a per

    As Kaiser's hand curled around her phone and snatched it away before she could respond, his eyes hardened. Holding it between two fingers, he held it as if it were something offensive, something that was not worthy of him but that he had to control.His voice was as cool and smooth as the clink of a blade on stone when he added, "You won't be needing this."The heartbeat of Izora quickened. With every shaky stride ahead, the delicate fabric of her light lavender nightgown brushed against her skin, her heart pounding in her chest. Before their conflict erupted, she hadn't found the time to change. Her hair stuck to her shoulders and pressed against her rosy cheeks, still damp from the shower. "Return that," she said, her tone more cutting than she intended. Kaiser raised the phone out of her reach with serene arrogance, sliding it into the inner pocket of his tailored dark suit jacket—a deep charcoal that corresponded to the menacing expression on his face. The material hardly shifte

    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

    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,

    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 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

    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
