“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.

  • 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

    “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.

    “I know.” Bruno’s expression remained cold. “They won’t touch you again.” He slowly guided her forward. A pair of chairs was brought into the room and placed several feet away from the restrained men. Bruno waited until Lidia was seated before taking the chair beside her. His presence beside her provided a strange sense of protection, even though the atmosphere around them was terrifying. The two prisoners lifted their heads. Their eyes met Bruno’s. Neither spoke. Bruno leaned forward, resting his forearms against his knees. His voice was deep and controlled. “Who sent you?” Silence. One man looked toward the floor. The other turned his face away. Bruno waited. Five seconds. Ten. Nothing. He leaned back. “You were caught attempting to take my son and the woman under my protection.” Still nothing. Lidia’s fingers tightened around the armrest. Bruno glanced toward his men. A small movement of his hand was enough. The guards stepped forward. The interrogation c

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Day of Reckoning

    The following morning arrived beneath a strange silence.There was no laughter echoing through the Deluca mansion. No playful voice from Tony running through the corridors. No servants chatting softly as they prepared breakfast.Even the walls seemed to understand that something had changed.Today was not a day for celebration.It was a day for reckoning.Bruno stood before the mirror in his bedroom, adjusting the cuff of his black shirt. His expression was cold, almost unreadable.Everything he wore was black.Black trousers.Black shirt.Black shoes.Black suit.Only one thing broke the darkness—a narrow touch of red folded neatly into the pocket of his jacket.A warning.A reminder.Blood would be spilled before the day ended.He stared at his reflection for several seconds.Tomorrow would be brutal.Not because he enjoyed violence.But because someone had crossed a line no one should have dared to cross.They had come for Lidia.They had come for Tony.And now there would be conse

    Bruno received the message just before sunrise.Lorenzo lost the girl.She is missing.The city is being searched.For a long moment, Bruno only stared at the screen of his phone.Then—He laughed.It was low at first, barely a sound, like air escaping his lungs after years of pressure. Then it gre

    Gennado held the phone to his ear, his fingers stiff around it, as if the device itself carried weight.“Speak,” he said.Silvano’s voice came through the line, steady but heavy. “I finished the comparison.”Gennado moved closer to the desk without realizing it. Elena’s photograph lay there, her ey

    The phone vibrated once.Blanca Mancini did not reach for it immediately.She was seated at her vanity, brushing her silver hair with slow, deliberate strokes, as if calm were something she could manufacture by repetition. Scarlet paced behind her like a restless predator, heels clicking sharply ag

    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. War had changed the rules. Faces were no longer just faces. Every stranger was a possible assassin. Every vis
