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 reflections in shop windows, to shadows that moved when the wind did. Every step felt too loud. Every breath sounded like a confession.

Lidia walked a half step ahead.

Not the Lidia Erika had known for yea

  • The King’s Broken Oath    The First Step Into Darkness

    “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

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Old Wolf’s Payback

    The night had begun with tension, but somehow, it ended in laughter.For the first time in what felt like years, the Old Wolf mansion was filled with something that had become almost foreign to its walls—genuine happiness.Gennado sat at the head of the long dining table, watching the people around him with an expression none of them had seen often.Peace.Lidia sat beside Erika with Tony next to her. Bruno was across from them, occasionally reaching over to steal food from Tony’s plate only to have the little boy protest with an exaggerated frown.“That’s mine, Daddy!”The word made everyone pause.Bruno’s hand stopped halfway toward the plate.Then a smile slowly spread across his face.“Your food?”Tony nodded seriously.“My food.”Bruno leaned back in his chair.“Fine. I won’t steal it.”Tony immediately smiled and returned to eating.Lidia watched the exchange quietly.Something warm stirred inside her chest.It was strange.Not long ago, she had believed Bruno was the last perso

  • The King’s Broken Oath   A Father’s Forgiveness

    The black limousine pulled away from the deserted roadside, its engine humming softly as it merged onto the highway. Behind them, another convoy followed closely, carrying Bruno’s men and the captured attackers to another destination. The late afternoon sun painted the sky in warm shades of gold and crimson, but inside the car, silence settled like a heavy blanket. Lidia sat beside the window, Tony sat in their middle playing with a toy, completely unaware that only minutes earlier his life had nearly been stolen from him. She looked down at him and gently brushed the hair from his forehead. A long breath escaped her lips. Then, almost timidly, she turned toward Bruno. “Are… are we going back home?” Her voice was soft. Careful. Though shaken by everything that had happened, a small part of her still longed to see Erika before the day ended. She had promised to visit her, and after such a terrifying experience, she suddenly needed the comfort of her best friend’s presence. Bru

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Beginning of the End

    Scarlet sat frozen on the cream-colored sofa, her fingers trembling around her mother’s phone.The video played again.And again.Each replay felt like another blade sinking into her chest.It was the confrontation at the restaurant.Every slap.Every insult.Every word she had thrown at Lidia.Every humiliating second of Bruno defending another woman instead of her.The comments beneath the video multiplied by the second.“The Ice King chose another woman.”“Who is Lidia?”“Scarlet Mancini exposed.”“Justice for the servant girl.”“Bruno Deluca publicly humiliates his former fiancée.”Millions of views.Thousands of shares.The internet had turned her worst day into entertainment.Her breathing became shallow.She already knew what was coming.Her mother would never overlook something like this.“Tell me, Scarlet…”Blanca’s cold voice shattered the silence.Scarlet slowly lifted her head.Blanca stood near the window with the phone still in her hand, disappointment written across eve

  • The King’s Broken Oath   The Ambush

    The afternoon sun bathed the Deluca Mansion in a warm golden glow as the grandfather clock in the hallway struck two.Lidia stood before the mirror inside her room, smoothing the soft fabric of her light lavender dress. It was elegant without being extravagant, flowing gently around her ankles whenever she moved. Her long dark hair rested loosely over her shoulders, and a pair of pearl earrings completed the simple look.She wasn’t dressing to impress anyone.She was only going to visit Erika.Tony stood beside the bed, giggling as he struggled to put on one tiny sneaker by himself.Lidia smiled softly.“My little prince needs help?”Tony pouted dramatically before lifting his foot toward her.“Mummy…”She laughed quietly and crouched before him.“Come here.”Within moments she had both of his tiny shoes fastened.“There.”“You look so handsome.”Tony’s face brightened with pride before wrapping his tiny arms around her neck.“I love you, Mummy.”Lidia closed her eyes for a brief mome

  • The King’s Broken Oath   Threats Between Kings

    Lorenzo stood alone in the darkened room of his coastal hideout, the windows open to the salt wind, the curtains breathing in and out like wounded lungs.The smell of gun oil and blood still clung to the air.A thousand men.That was the number whispered to him that morning—lost in ambushes, raids,

  • The King’s Broken Oath   She Was Never Just a Servant

    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 King’s Broken Oath   The Message That Changed Everything

    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

  • The King’s Broken Oath   When Blood Finds Its Way Home

    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
