Rita glanced downward, fingers clasping her necklace with care.

“I’m not concerned about what happens to me,” she said. "Simply… ensure my brother remains safe." “Kindly.”

Enoch moved closer and gently rested a warm hand on her shoulder. "He shall." "I give you my promise."

Enoch's eyes opened a bit more, a glimmer of astonishment emerging from his impassive demeanor. Silently, he took hold of Rita's arm and guided her back to Kaiser.

The room had low lighting, with the sole source of light being a single overhead bulb that created stark shadows on the walls. Three men were present inside, their faces impossible to interpret. Enoch recounted what Rita had told him.

Behind him, Otis clapped once, slowly. "See, Claude? I did a good job keeping the right person alive."

  • I Accidentally Married a Mafia Boss   Chapter 37: Red Stains & Silver Tongues

    The room was too quiet. Too clean. Izora sat on the edge of the satin-sheeted bed, her hands trembling in her lap. Her fingers were stained dark—dried blood caught in the tiny lines of her skin. She’d scrubbed them raw at the bathroom sink, her nails bitten down and cracked, but the red hadn’t left. Not really. It clung to her memory. She could still see it. Blood, thick and too dark to be fresh, gathered on the polished marble floor in the hallway. It had seeped into the cuffs of her jeans and dotted the hem of her cream blouse. The moment unfolded like a gradual nightmare. A man screaming. A gunshot. A collapsing body. The sick, wet thud it made as it hit the ground. The smell was worse than the sight of iron, sweat, and fear. Izora’s breathing was shallow. Her eyes stared ahead, unfocused, as though still caught somewhere in that moment. The door creaked open. She didn’t react. Soft leather shoes tapped against the wood floor calm, measured, expensive. The scent of cologne

    Blood dripped from Otis’s sleeves like war paint, but he didn’t notice. He was too busy whistling some off-tune melody, half-skipping toward the others with a terrified girl in tow. Her arms were bound behind her back, and her eyes, sharp, green, and defiant, flicked across the four men before her.Claude stood stiff, hands in fists. Enoch leaned against the wall, quiet, watchful. Otis grinned like a child at a carnival, shirt ruined, eyes glowing with the aftermath of the slaughter.And the man in the chair, the one she couldn’t see properly, radiated something far worse than rage.Power.Otis threw the girl forward like an offering. She landed on her knees with a grunt.“I brought you a gift, Master,” Otis said with a theatrical bow, his voice laced with manic glee.The girl swallowed, struggling to keep her head high. Her short blonde hair was damp with sweat and clung to her forehead. She wore men's clothes, baggy, torn, reeking of smoke and gunpowder. Her chest rose and fell fast

    The sirens didn’t blare. The alarms didn’t scream. But something was wrong. Kaiser sprinted through the corridor like a storm in a tailored suit. His coat flared behind him, boots thudding heavy against the marble floor. The manor, for all its vastness, had turned silent. Not quite silent. Like it was holding its breath. He passed a servant in the hallway. She froze at the look on his face. He didn’t stop. “Enoch,” he barked into the phone, “what’s your status?” Static. Then— “She’s safe. For now,” Enoch's low voice finally replied, breathless. “Intruder’s in the east wing. Two men down.” Kaiser’s knuckles whitened around the phone. “What do they want?” “They’re not speaking. They’re shooting. Trained. Fast.” Kaiser turned the corner sharply, passing a wall-length painting of his father’s estate in the north—an inheritance he’d never claimed. “Hold her room. I’m coming.” — **Izora’s Room** Izora crouched inside the narrow closet, breathing fast. The silk of her nightg

    Kaiser's office was dimly lit, featuring only the gentle shine of amber light coming from a lamp with a glass shade atop the desk. The golden glow cast long shadows over the luxurious mahogany shelves brimming with unread books and the neatly stacked files he wouldn’t need to manage again. He lounged in the leather chair, tie loosened, blazer draped over the back, sleeves pushed up to his elbows. His fitted black shirt clung to the muscles of his torso like a second skin. He seemed fatigued—not just weary. Drenched in reflection. The quiet hummed in his ears. The soft ticking of the clock on the wall throbbed like a timer. The remnants of the meal remained—roasted garlic, red wine, and a touch of something more acrid. An emotion similar to regret. He shut his eyes and breathed out slowly. His mind wandered back to that morning. No one had ever caressed him in that way for years—not since his mother would smooth the hair from his face while he feigned sleep as a child. A

    Izora was brushing her hair in quiet, distracted strokes, still caught on the way Kaiser had held her that morning. His cheek pressed warm to her stomach, his breath slow and uneven like he hadn’t slept deeply in years until then.He smiled. Not smirked. Not threatened. Not commanded.Smiled.And for the briefest moment, she’d seen him not the mafia prince, not the cold strategist, not the man who walked in shadows and spoke in knives but the boy buried somewhere beneath all of that. Just a man who had curled into her warmth as though it were home.She quickly pushed the memory out of her mind. That softness was a crack in his armor, not a door. And she knew better than to walk through it.The door creaked open, and the maids entered silently, moving like practiced clockwork with soft arms full of silks and lotions.“Dinner, Mrs. Eirian,” one of them murmured.Izora flinched at the title. It still felt like a lie sewn too tight across her chest.They held out a dress lilac with silver

    The moment Kaiser closed the door behind him with a soft click, Izora let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Her fingertips still grazed the skin of her stomach, warm where his cheek had rested just moments ago. Her heart hadn’t stopped racing since the moment she’d woken to find him there, sprawled across her like a slumbering stormcloud.She was still trying to process the feel of his solid, heavy, warm body when the soft shuffle of movement caught her attention.She froze.Kaiser’s mother hadn’t left with him.The faint scent of jasmine and musk teased the air just before Celestine Eirian came into view, gliding from the far end of the suite like a phantom in heels. The rustle of her long dove-gray dress accompanied her every step. The silk clung to her figure with elegant precision, the fabric shifting like smoke around her as she moved with poised authority.Izora sat up slightly, confused. “Mrs. Eirian—?”“Oh, no need for that,” Celestine said with a silky smile,

    Soft golden designs appeared on the navy walls as a faint beam of early light filtered through the thin curtains. Aside from the soft ticking of the old wall clock and the faint singing of birds outside, the room was quiet. Izora opened her eyes and looked up at the weird ceiling above her. A faint ache pulsed through her abdomen, keeping her grounded in the present moment. Kaiser's head rested heavily on her abdomen, his dark hair tangled and reflecting the morning sun. She shifted a little, then realised what was causing the pressure.Her breath caught. Now looking calm and youthful, the notorious mafia king was laid across her midsection, his arm slung around her waist in a possessive manner. It was startling how different this week's mood was from his normal powerful appearance. Is this also a part of the act? With her fingers itching to glide through his hair, she contemplated. She cautiously reached out her hand, letting it hover just above his head while she felt the warmt

    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
