Bruno rose from the bed with the slow, deliberate movements of a man who owned the air in the room. His footsteps were heavy against the polished floor as he closed the distance between them. Lidia stood motionless, her back to him, every muscle in her body tightening in silent dread.

He stopped behind her, so close she could feel the heat radiating off his skin. His shadow swallowed hers. Without a word, his hand traced a slow line down her back. Even through the thin fabric of her uniform, she felt his touch as though it burned. His breath was uneven, carrying the weight of something dangerous—something she wished she could run from.

Fear knotted in her stomach, yet her feet refused to move. The stories she’d heard about what happened to those who defied the Ice King echoed in her mind. Her hands trembled at her sides. She wanted to scream, to push him away, but the thought of the consequences was worse than the moment itself.

“Don’t,” she whispered, her voice breaking. Her plea bar

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

  • The King’s Broken Oath   WHEN THE OLD WOLF SPEAKS

    Tuk.The sharp notification cut through the charged air like a bullet hitting steel.Bruno’s head snapped toward the sound instantly. He didn’t need to check the source. He knew that sound the way a soldier knew gunfire.His phone.The distraction lasted less than a second—but it was enough.Lidia reacted on instinct.She twisted sharply, slipping through the opening in his hold like a frightened doe, and bolted toward the bathroom. The lock clicked loudly as she slammed the door shut behind her, her trembling breath echoing faintly through the thick wood.Bruno cursed under his breath but didn’t chase her.Not yet.He turned instead, long strides carrying him to the bed where his phone lay beside the pillow. The screen lit up in his hand.Old Wolf — Incoming Call.His jaw tightened.He answered without hesitation.“Hello, Father,” Bruno said coolly, his voice stripped of emotion. He already knew this wasn’t about Scarlet anymore—not entirely.“Call a meeting. Now.”Gennado’s voice th
