“And who gave you the power to question my employee?”

The voice boomed through the hall—deep, cold, and authoritative.

Every soul froze.

Bruno.

He stepped forward with the presence of a storm, his gaze slicing through the room like a blade. Even the air seemed to tremble.

“So this is what you all do behind my back?” he barked, fury flashing like lightning in his eyes.

The servants fell to their knees instantly.

“No, sir! We’re sorry, sir! It was Hanks—Hanks and Madam Scarlet—they told us to!” they cried, scrambling to shift the blame.

Cowards, all of them.

Bruno didn’t spare them a glance. His eyes locked onto Scarlet.

Her confident posture cracked.

He walked toward her slowly, each step heavy with restrained rage.

Then—

CRACK!

A harsh slap tore through the silence.

Scarlet gasped, stumbling backward, her hand flying to her cheek.

“You slapped me… because of this low-life idiot?!” she shrieked, pointing at Lidia who remained on her knees, trembling and tear-soaked.

  • The King’s Broken Oath   MWHEN DEBTS COME KNOCKING

    “What happened to the money, Luca?”Rosa’s voice sliced through the air the moment they stepped out of the police station. Her heels struck the pavement sharply, each step echoing her humiliation. The evening breeze did nothing to cool the heat burning through her chest.Earlier, everything had unraveled inside the luxury mall.The store manager had called the police when Luca failed to pay for the mountain of designer clothes, shoes, and jewelry Rosa had proudly piled onto the counter. The whispers. The laughter. The mocking stares. Rosa could still feel them crawling under her skin like insects.“I don’t know, Rosa,” Luca snapped back, rubbing his temples. His head pounded violently. “Just—just give me a moment to think.”“You better think fast,” Rosa hissed, spinning on him. “Because I feel like killing you right now for making me lose face like that.” Her eyes burned. “Why didn’t you check the card before we went there? Why?”“Can you stop complaining for one second?” Luca shouted

And let me quickly remind us of their names again: Bruno the ice kingLorenzo the tall manMatador the blacksmith Alarico the balancer accountant Gennado the old wolfSalvatore the ghost money laundering Gravino the cleanerEdorado the fixer political elite*****************************************************“How dare you look down on my wife?” Luca snapped, his voice cutting sharply through the soft music of the luxury mall. His glare was venomous, his posture rigid with wounded pride. “You’d better watch your mouth.”Rosa didn’t flinch. She stepped forward instead, looping her arm possessively through his. Her lips curved into a slow, disdainful smile as she looked the women up and down, as if measuring their worth and finding none.“Honey,” she said sweetly, though

  • The King’s Broken Oath   THE NIGHT THE ICE KING LOST CONTROL

    Night descended on the DeLuca mansion like a suffocating shroud.Still, there was no sign of Lidia.The once-grand house was tense, every corridor thick with fear. Servants moved like shadows, careful not to make a sound, terrified of drawing the Ice King’s attention. No one dared speak her name too loudly. Tonight, even breathing felt dangerous.Bruno DeLuca sat in the living room, his posture rigid, his presence dominating the space. He hadn’t gone to bed. He wouldn’t. Sleep was impossible when his mind was locked on one thing—her absence.“I’ll wait,” he said coldly, breaking the silence. “She’ll return.”Rico stood nearby, unease flickering across his face. “Boss… what if she’s been taken?”Bruno’s jaw clenched.“Then whoever touched her has already signed their death sentence,” he replied flatly. “Send word to everyone. Streets, ports, clubs—search everywhere.”Hanks stood a short distance away, her expression carefully composed. She lowered her gaze respectfully, but beneath the

  • The King’s Broken Oath   THE LIE THAT BURIED HER

    CHAPTER — THE LIE THAT BURIED HERRico didn’t waste a second.The Ice King’s orders were law, and when Bruno DeLuca commanded, the world moved—or burned. Rico stormed through the luxury boutiques, clearing racks without blinking at the price tags. Gold jewelry vanished into velvet-lined boxes. Dresses—silk, satin, couture—were folded with reverence. Shoes, perfume, cash, the newest phone—everything Bruno had demanded was secured.Engines roared.Within minutes, Rico’s convoy tore through the streets toward the DeLuca mansion.Unseen from the gates, Hanks watched.The moment the cars pulled in, her lips curved into a satisfied smile. Everything was falling into place—perfectly timed, perfectly cruel.She turned and rushed inside.Down the corridor. Past the servants’ quarters. Straight to Lidia’s door.Knock. Knock.Urgent. Breathless.“Lidia,” Hanks called sweetly. “Flaviana needs you in the storage room. Immediately.”Concern flickered across Lidia’s tired face. Flaviana never summon

  • The King’s Broken Oath   WHEN PRIDE BLEEDS

    “Lidia. Lidia!”Bruno’s voice echoed through the corridor the moment Gennado’s footsteps faded beyond the mansion gates. The urgency in his tone betrayed him, stripping away the Ice King’s composure. He waited.Nothing.Minutes passed.“Lidia!” he called again—this time sharper, anger bleeding into his voice.Still no answer.Fury surged.He took the stairs two at a time, his long strides eating the distance as he reached her door. Without knocking, he shoved it open.“How dare you ignore me?” he snapped.Lidia sat before the mirror, unmoving. Her reflection stared back at her—eyes red, face pale, a faint swelling already forming on her cheek. She didn’t turn. She didn’t speak.She didn’t acknowledge him.That silence struck Bruno harder than defiance ever could.He stepped closer, his presence filling the room like a storm. No one ignored him. No one ever had. He was the man empires bowed to, the one whose single word could end lives.His pride burned.Before he could stop himself—H

  • The King’s Broken Oath   A SERVANT, NOTHING MORE

    Bruno swallowed hard.The Old Wolf stood before him, tall and unyielding, his presence heavy with authority that no walls—not even Bruno’s—could entirely shut out. For the first time in years, Bruno found himself unsure of what to say. Any argument would ignite a fire he wasn’t prepared to put out. His father never backed down once his mind was made up.So Bruno chose silence.He turned back to his laptop, fingers tapping against the keyboard as if numbers, figures, and contracts were more important than the tension suffocating the room. He convinced himself this wasn’t the right time. He would deal with it later. He always did.Minutes passed in strained quiet.“Do you want something to eat?” Bruno asked eventually, his voice neutral, controlled. “I can ask the chef to prepare something.”Gennado scoffed sharply and rose to his feet.“I know my way around this house,” he snapped. “I’m leaving to resolve the mess you created with Scarlet’s mother.”Without waiting for permission, he t
