The King’s Broken Oath The Promise Beneath the Silence
The restaurant remained cloaked in silence long after Scarlet had been dragged away.Broken wineglasses glittered beneath the warm chandelier lights. Half-finished meals sat forgotten across the room while whispers drifted through every corner like wildfire.Bruno still stood in front of Lidia.His chest rose slowly as he fought to suppress the fury still boiling inside him. If not for Lidia and Tony, Scarlet would not have left that restaurant alive.Carefully, almost hesitantly, he stepped closer.Without warning, he wrapped one arm gently around Lidia’s trembling shoulders and drew her against his chest.She stiffened instantly.Her first instinct was to pull away.But she was exhausted.Too exhausted to fight.Bruno lowered his head.“I’m sorry…”His voice came out rough.“I’m truly sorry for today.”“I should never have allowed anyone to humiliate you in public.”“I promise you…”“It will never happen again.”The sincerity in his tone stunned the entire restaurant.Forks stopped
The King’s Broken Oath A King’s Judgment
The entire restaurant held its breath.Bruno’s hand closed firmly around Scarlet’s wrist before she could reach Lidia.His grip was steady, unyielding.Scarlet struggled, her perfectly polished nails digging into his sleeve.“Let me go!” she shrieked.“I see you’ve lost your mind”Without warning, Bruno released her wrist and stepped back just enough to put himself completely between Scarlet and Lidia.Smack! Bruno's hand landed on Scarlet's swollen cheek.Scarlet let out a piercing cry of agony, her hand instantly pressing against her throbbing cheek. She stumbled backward, her eyes blazing with pain and humiliation as the sting of the slap echoed through the silent restaurant.“That’s enough.”Bruno’s voice, when it came, was low enough to silence every corner of the restaurant.Scarlet laughed bitterly.“Enough?”“You humiliate me in front of everyone and you call it enough?”Her eyes shimmered with angry tears.“I was your fiancée, Bruno.”She pointed accusingly at Lidia.“Before
The King’s Broken Oath Lines That Could Never Be Crossed “You slut!” Scarlet’s
Scarlet’s shrill voice ripped through the restaurant, silencing every conversation.Forks froze halfway to mouths.Waiters stopped in their tracks.Even the soft music drifting through the restaurant seemed to disappear beneath the weight of her accusation.“You really think you can steal Bruno away from me?” Scarlet shouted, her perfectly manicured finger stabbing toward Lidia. “Using that bastard child of yours to trap him?”The moment Tony was mentioned…Something inside Lidia snapped.The fear that had once lived in her eyes disappeared.She stepped forward.Smack!The sound echoed sharply across the restaurant.Scarlet’s head whipped to the side, strands of her perfectly styled hair falling across her face.A bright red handprint bloomed on her cheek.The entire restaurant gasped.No one had expected the quiet woman standing beside Bruno Deluca to strike the Mancini heiress.Lidia lowered her hand slowly.Her voice remained frighteningly calm.“You may insult me.”Her eyes harden
The King’s Broken Oath A Voice from the Past
The following morning arrived with a gentle breeze sweeping through the Deluca mansion.For the first time in years, laughter drifted through the breakfast hall instead of silence.Tony sat proudly in his highchair, banging his tiny spoon against the table while Flaviana tried unsuccessfully to stop him.“My little prince,” she laughed, “the table has done nothing to you.”Tony only giggled louder.Across from him, Lidia couldn’t help smiling.Bruno sat quietly beside her, stealing occasional glances in her direction while pretending to drink his coffee. Every now and then, Tony would point excitedly toward one of them, making the atmosphere feel strangely… normal.It almost felt like a family.After breakfast, Bruno stood and adjusted the sleeves of his dark shirt.“Shall we?”Lidia looked at him for a moment before nodding.Tony immediately stretched both hands toward Bruno.“Daddy!”Bruno’s face softened as he lifted the little boy into his arms.Lidia noticed the smile that spread
The King’s Broken Oath A Family Day and a Dangerous Plan
The black convoy rolled through the city like royalty.Luxury SUVs surrounded Bruno’s car from every direction while bodyguards remained alert through their communication devices.Their first stop…The largest toy store in the city.The moment Tony stepped inside…His tiny eyes widened.Rows upon rows of colorful toys stretched endlessly before him.Cars.Robots.Building blocks.Stuffed animals.Helicopters.Mini motorcycles.Toy kitchens.Everything a child could dream of.Tony gasped loudly.“Wooow!”Bruno smiled.“Everything he touches.”Romano blinked.“…Boss?”“I said buy everything he touches.”Within minutes…Chaos erupted.Tony pointed toward a dinosaur.“That.”Romano nodded.Purchased.“A car!”Purchased.“A bear!”Purchased.“A train!”Purchased.Soon the bodyguards were carrying mountains of shopping bags while confused customers watched the terrifying Mafia King happily following a toddler around the store.One elderly woman whispered,“Is that really Bruno Deluca?”“I t
The King’s Broken Oath Shadows Behind the Smile
The black Rolls-Royce slipped quietly through the towering iron gates of the Deluca estate.Warm lights illuminated the winding driveway, reflecting against the polished marble fountains that lined the entrance. The mansion stood proudly beneath the moonlight, its towering pillars and grand balconies giving it the appearance of a royal palace rather than the home of the most feared family in the underworld.Inside the car, Tony had already fallen asleep.His tiny head rested against Lidia’s shoulder while one little hand remained wrapped around her finger.Lidia smiled faintly.Children truly healed without knowing it.Bruno glanced at them before looking back through the windshield.“We’re home.”The words escaped him naturally.The moment he realized what he had said, he became quiet.Home…It had been years since that word carried warmth.Tonight…It almost did.The car came to a smooth stop before the mansion.Before the chauffeur could move, Bruno stepped out first.He walked aro
The King’s Broken Oath Buried Truths and Silent Promises
The garden was alive with movement.The sharp sound of shoes striking stone.The crack of fists against padded shields.The low, firm instructions of the trainer cutting through the cool morning air.Lidia moved like someone trying to outrun her own thoughts.Every strike.Every turn.Every breath—
The King’s Broken Oath When the Past Demands a Meeting
A new day rose over the city with a pale, uncertain light.Morning did not bring peace. It only revealed how tense everything had become.The restaurant stood at the edge of the old district, half-hidden between abandoned shops and shuttered warehouses. Once, it had been a place of laughter and mus
The King’s Broken Oath When the Past Demands a Meeting
The door closed behind them with a muted click, sealing the night outside.Erika leaned her back against the wood as if it were the only thing keeping her upright. Her fingers stayed curled around the handle for several seconds before she finally released it. The hallway light cast a thin yellow li
The King’s Broken Oath Where Courage First Spoke
The street was still waking when Lidia and Erika stepped out of the narrow apartment building. Dawn painted the pavement in pale gold, the kind of light that made everything look harmless—even the corners where men hid.Erika pulled her jacket tighter around herself. Her eyes kept drifting to refle
