“Find him,” Bruno commanded as he rose from his seat, adjusting the collar of his tailored black shirt. His expression was carved from stone—cold, unreadable, merciless. Without another word, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Silvio’s lifeless body sprawled across the marble floor.

“You all should watch out for the traitor,” Romano added, his voice firm and warning. “Let me know as soon as possible.” He followed behind Bruno, their polished shoes echoing against t

  • The King’s Broken Oath    A Deadly Detour

    Blanca stormed out of the mansion and headed straight for the waiting car.“Drive,” she commanded furiously.She didn’t even bother checking whether Scarlet was following.The driver immediately opened the door for her.Blanca climbed into the back seat and slammed the door behind her.“Mother!”Scarlet’s voice echoed through the hallway.She was still running toward the entrance, her heels striking the marble floor as she desperately tried to catch up.“Wait!”Blanca ignored her.“Start the car!” she shouted.The driver started the engine.Scarlet finally reached the car just as the vehicle began to move.“Wait!”She grabbed the door handle and quickly climbed inside.The moment she settled into the seat, the car sped away.Scarlet was breathing heavily.“Mother…”“Don’t.”Blanca’s voice was sharp enough to silence her.Scarlet swallowed the words she wanted to say and lowered her gaze.The driver kept his eyes on the road.The car raced through the streets, heading toward the Old Wo

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Last Resort

    “Follow me.”Blanca’s command came out cold and firm as she turned toward the door.Her heels clicked sharply against the polished floor as she walked out of the building, each step carrying the weight of her frustration. She didn’t look back to see whether Scarlet was following. She already knew her daughter would.Scarlet quickly wiped her face with the back of her hand.She was too ashamed to let the employees see her tears.Only minutes ago, she had walked into the building believing she could still control the situation. Now, she could barely lift her head.Every pair of eyes seemed to follow her.Employees pretended to be busy with their work, but Scarlet could feel their curiosity. Some whispered quietly among themselves. Others quickly looked away whenever she passed.She lowered her gaze and hurried after her mother.For the first time in her life, Scarlet felt small inside her own family’s company.She followed Blanca outside and climbed into the back seat of the waiting car

  • The King’s Broken Oath   Blanca’s Breaking Point

    Blanca’s office door flew open. Her assistant rushed inside, clutching a phone in his hand. His breathing was uneven, and he nearly stumbled over his own feet as he hurried toward her desk. “Ma’am! Ma’am, you need to watch this!” Blanca barely looked up from the documents scattered across her desk. “What is it now?” she snapped. “Can’t you see I’m busy?” “Please, ma’am. It’s about Miss Scarlet.” The mention of her daughter made Blanca pause. She held out her hand impatiently. “Give it to me.” The assistant placed the phone in her palm. At first, Blanca expected another report about Mancini Gold’s collapsing finances. Perhaps an investor had finally agreed to help, or one of her contacts had found a way to stop the company from sinking. But the moment her eyes landed on the headline, every trace of color drained from her face. SCARLET MANCINI EXPOSED: MEN CONFESS TO KIDNAPPING ATTEMPT AGAINST LIDIA AND HER SON. “What?” she screamed. Her fingers tightened around the phone

  • 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

    Rosario’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of surprise—and something darker—passing across her face. Jealousy. “Why so soon?” she asked, her tone dripping with suspicion, the edges laced with bitterness. Luca kept his gaze lowered, as if the answer might be written somewhere on the carpet. He searched fo

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Demand

    What could he possibly want from a teenage girl like me? The question gnawed at Lidia’s mind, sharp and relentless, refusing to loosen its grip no matter how she tried to distract herself. She had heard the whispers—how cruel and dangerous the man was. The Ice King wasn’t just another mafia boss

    “You good-for-nothing brat! Come here now!” Rosario voice cracked through the air like a whip. Lidia flinched at the sound. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her bare feet slapped against the cold marble floor as she rushed toward the woman whose anger was as sharp as glass. “I’m sorry, Auntie…
