The money arrived in a plain brown envelope.

Erika placed it on the small kitchen table without ceremony, as if it were just groceries, not the last savings her father had scraped together after a long night of arguing. Lidia watched the envelope as though it might bite her. For a second, guilt crawled up her throat.

“You don’t have to do this,” she said softly.

Erika didn’t look at her. “I already did.”

Silence stretched between them, thick and uncomfortable.

Finally, Erika pushed the envelope

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Mancinis’ Worst Nightmare

    The video had spread like wildfire.Within hours, millions of people had watched it, and thousands of comments flooded social media. What had begun as a scandal surrounding the Ice King and his former fiancée had quickly turned into something far more serious.Now, everyone was talking about Scarlet Mancini.“What? Did she actually send men to kidnap them?” a woman screamed, holding her phone close as the video played again. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “This is unbelievable!”“Does this lady have a death wish?” another person asked from a different location, shaking her head as she watched the footage.Some viewers remained skeptical.“What if the video is fake?” one commenter wrote. “People can edit anything these days.”But others were already convinced.“The Ice King doesn’t bite without a reason,” another comment read.“Is this why the Ice King made all their company investors disappear? Was it revenge for what they did to Lidia and Tony?”“This man is so ruthless, Josh,” someo

    Ten minutes later, Lidia and Bruno arrived home.The moment they stepped inside, Lidia’s phone began ringing.She glanced at the screen.Erika.A faint smile touched her lips as she answered, but it disappeared almost immediately when she heard her friend’s voice.“Hello, Lidia! What is this scandal going on online? Is it true that Scarlet tried to kidnap you and Tony?” Erika asked hurriedly.Her voice sounded worried, confused, and strangely relieved all at once.Lidia froze.Two words from Erika’s question echoed through her mind.Online.Scarlet kidnapped.Her eyes widened in surprise.How did Erika know about the kidnapping?And how had the information reached the internet?A thousand questions flooded Lidia’s mind at once. She stood there with the phone pressed against her ear, unable to form a response.“Lidia? Are you still there?” Erika asked.But Lidia barely heard her.Her gaze slowly shifted toward Bruno.He stood a short distance away, gently putting Tony to sleep. His mov

  • The King’s Broken Oath    The Truth Behind the Tears

    “What exactly did you mean by that, Miss Scarlet?” one of the interviewers asked.Scarlet lowered her head, letting the cameras capture every tremor of her tearful expression.“A few weeks ago, I found him at a restaurant with another woman and a child,” she said, her voice cracking. “I confronted him because I was hurt and confused. But instead of explaining himself, he threatened me. He told me he would deal with me if I ever tried to confront that woman again.”Tears slipped down her cheeks.She wiped them away quickly, but her eyes filled again almost immediately.The cameras stayed fixed on her.Scarlet knew exactly how she appeared.She had no proof that Bruno was behind the sudden collapse of Mancini Gold Company. She didn’t possess a single piece of evidence that directly connected him to the disaster consuming her family.But deep down, she knew no one else in Sicily had enough influence to make the Mancini family’s investors withdraw so quickly.Only Bruno.And Scarlet under

  • The King’s Broken Oath    The Ice King Strikes

    “Let’s go have something to eat now,” Bruno said softly behind Lidia’s ears after playing for a long time with Tony.“Yeah, Tony might be hungry now,” Lidia answered with a smile.She picked Tony up into her arms while Bruno packed up their bags and began walking out of the playing area.The afternoon had been filled with laughter, especially because Tony had refused to let Bruno rest for even a moment. They had played for hours, moving from one game to another, with Bruno patiently following whatever Tony wanted.As they walked away from the playing area, several people around them began staring.Those who knew who Bruno was watched him with wide expressions of disbelief.For years, they had heard stories about the Ice King. They knew him as a cruel and dangerous man, someone whose name alone was enough to make people lower their voices.Yet the same man was now carrying bags, walking beside a woman, and playing like a child with a little boy for hours.Some people secretly brought o

  • The King’s Broken Oath   Revenge season : The Ice King’s First Move

    The morning had barely begun when Bruno made his first move. He stood inside his office, dressed in a dark suit, his expression calm and unreadable as he held his phone against his ear. “Romano.” “Yes, Boss.” “Investigate every business dealer connected to Blanca Mancini before noon.” There was a brief silence on the other end. Bruno’s eyes narrowed. “I want every investor, every partner, every major supplier, every person putting money into the Mancini empire. Find out how much they have invested and what contracts they hold.” “And after that?” Bruno leaned back in his chair. “Tell them to withdraw.” Romano understood immediately. “All of them?” “Every single one.” Bruno’s voice remained dangerously calm. “Tell them to move their investments to the Morgan Chase group. Give them ten percent additional interest on every deal they transfer.” Romano paused. “That will cripple the Mancini businesses.” “That is the idea.” “Yes, Boss.” “Before noon.” “I’ll have it done.

    Lidia stared at him.Behind them, one of the prisoners groaned weakly.Bruno’s gaze moved toward the two men.The Ice King returned.His eyes became dark again.“Take her outside.”One of the guards stepped forward.But Bruno raised his hand.“No.”He looked at Lidia.“I’ll take her.”Then Bruno gently placed his hand around hers.And led her away from the room.Behind them, the two men remained trapped in silence.But one thing had changed.The man Lidia had questioned was no longer looking toward Bruno.He was staring at the door she had just walked through.And fear had finally begun to break his loyalty.The moment Bruno led Lidia out of the warehouse, the heavy metal doors closed behind them.The sound echoed through the abandoned compound.Lidia flinched.Bruno immediately noticed.He didn’t say anything at first.He simply kept walking beside her, his hand firmly wrapped around hers.Outside, the afternoon air felt strangely cold against Lidia’s skin.The black car was waiting.

    Some hours earlier… The iron gates of Bruno Gennado’s mansion stood like a fortress against the world—cold, towering, and guarded by men whose fingers never strayed far from their weapons.

    Laughter rolled through the smoky air of the bar, loud and unrestrained.“Hahaha!” Luca’s voice boomed, his chest swelling with wine and pride. Rosario’s laugh spilled after his, soft yet dripping with drunken delight. The two sat tangled in each other’s arms, their table littered with empty bottle

  • The King’s Broken Oath   Into the Wolf’s Den

    The dim kitchen light flickered once before going dark again, leaving the hallway cloaked in shadows. A faint rustle caught Lidia’s breath in her throat. She had been halfway to the back gate, her small bag clutched to her chest, heart pounding so hard she was sure it could be heard. Then—click.
