The King’s Broken Oath Beneath the City Lights
The evening sky shimmered with thousands of stars as Bruno’s black armored Rolls-Royce glided silently through the city’s glittering streets.Inside the luxurious car, silence settled between them.Not the uncomfortable silence that had once existed whenever Lidia was around Bruno.This one was… uncertain.Gentle.Every now and then, Bruno stole a glance at the woman seated beside him.The lavender dress fit her perfectly, making her look elegant without trying too hard. She sat with both hands folded neatly on her lap, staring through the tinted window at the rushing lights outside, pretending not to notice his gaze.Bruno smiled faintly before looking away.He didn’t want to scare her.Not tonight.Tonight wasn’t about redemption.It was about creating one peaceful memory.One memory untouched by pain.…Twenty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce rolled through a pair of grand iron gates.The restaurant was unlike anything Lidia had ever seen.It wasn’t in the city.It overlooked the oce
The King’s Broken Oath A Dinner Worth Fighting For
Despite herself…A small smile tugged at the corners of Lidia’s lips.She shook her head, though warmth quietly bloomed beneath her guarded heart as the two women walked toward the entrance to await the delivery.“I have served that boy for over thirty years,” she murmured. “Never—not even once—have I seen Bruno Deluca kneel before anyone.”Lidia lowered her eyes to the floor.Neither had she.The image of Bruno kneeling before her refused to leave her mind. The man who had once ruled her life with nothing but cold commands had lowered himself willingly, asking instead of demanding.It unsettled her.“Come,” Flaviana said cheerfully, clapping her hands together. “We don’t have much time.”Lidia blinked.“For what?”“For dinner, of course.”“I…” Lidia hesitated. “Maybe I should change my mind.”Flaviana immediately hooked her arm through Lidia’s.“No backing out now.”Before Lidia could protest, Flaviana was already leading her toward the grand entrance.A long line of luxury garment b
The King’s Broken Oath An Invitation Neither Expected
Bruno remained on the cold floor for several long moments after Lidia and Flaviana hurried out of his room, their laughter still echoing faintly through the hallway.He let out a long, defeated sigh and rubbed a hand over his face.“So much for making a good impression,” he muttered under his breath.Embarrassment burned across his cheeks as he remembered the expression on Lidia’s face after reading the search results on his laptop.How to win back the woman you hurt.How to rebuild trust after betrayal.He groaned.“I should have closed the laptop.”Eventually, exhaustion overtook his thoughts. He climbed onto the bed without bothering to change his clothes, reached for his phone, and dialed Romano.“Cancel every appointment I have today.”Romano paused in surprise.“Boss? Even the board meeting?”“Everything.”“But—”“I said everything.”His voice carried no anger, only quiet determination.“I have something more important to do.”Romano understood immediately.“Yes, Boss.”The call
The King’s Broken Oath The First Smile
The morning sun spilled across the garden, bathing the roses in soft golden light. After breakfast, Flaviana led Lidia and Erika outside with a pot of freshly brewed tea. The three women settled beneath a white gazebo wrapped in blooming vines, where a cool breeze carried the sweet scent of jasmine through the air.For a long moment, no one spoke.Flaviana wrapped both hands around her teacup before finally lifting her eyes to Lidia.“My child…”Her voice trembled.“There are many things you don’t know.”Lidia looked at her quietly.“When you disappeared…” Flaviana continued, “…this house became empty.”She smiled bitterly before shaking her head.“I couldn’t sleep. Every night I sat by the front gate waiting for you to walk back through it. I cried until I had no tears left. Eventually I became so sick the doctors ordered me to stay in bed.”Lidia lowered her eyes.Guilt slowly settled over her heart.“I never blamed you,” Flaviana whispered. “I blamed myself.”Silence stretched betw
The King’s Broken Oath A House Filled with Old Memories
“What!”The scream echoed through the unfamiliar bedroom.Lidia and Erika stared at one another for only a heartbeat before rushing toward the door.Neither bothered fixing their messy hair.Neither cared that they were still wearing the comfortable clothes someone had changed them into the night before.The only thing on their minds was getting out.Their hurried footsteps thundered down the grand staircase.Lidia’s breathing quickened as the familiar marble floors came into view.The crystal chandelier.The polished wooden railings.The enormous family portraits.Recognition struck her like lightning.Her feet slowed.“No…”Her voice was barely audible.Erika followed her gaze.“This is…”Before she could finish, a warm, familiar voice drifted from the dining room.“My child?”Lidia slowly turned.Standing beside the enormous dining table was Flaviana.The elderly woman wore her usual apron, carefully arranging plates while humming softly to herself.The table before her overflowed
The King’s Broken Oath An Unexpected Morning
The following morning, golden rays of sunlight slipped through the sheer curtains, painting soft patterns across the bedroom floor.Lidia stirred first and then stood.Across the room, Erika shifted beneath the blanket before lazily opening one eye.She watched Lidia disappear into the bathroom and smiled to herself.Moments later the bathroom door opened again.Fresh from her shower, Lidia stepped out wearing a simple cream-colored sweater and black trousers. Her damp hair rested over her shoulders, and for the first time in a long while, the heaviness that usually clouded her face had eased.Erika blinked.“You look refreshed.”Lidia paused before the mirror.A small smile curved her lips.“I feel refreshed.”She picked up a towel and gently dried her hair.“I stayed awake for a long time last night after Father spoke to me.”Erika quietly listened.“I kept asking myself one question.”She looked at her own reflection.“How long am I going to keep carrying the past?”Silence settled
The King’s Broken Oath She Chose to Return to the Devil
The room had gone quiet again.Not the heavy, suffocating silence from before—but something steadier.Something controlled.Lidia sat by the edge of the bed, her fingers resting lightly against Tony’s blanket. The traces of tears had dried on her cheeks, leaving behind faint lines that caught the
The King’s Broken Oath What Regret Looks Like
He didn’t turn immediately.Didn’t respond.The footsteps came closer.Faster.Then—Lorenzo stood in front of him.Closer than before.Closer than he had been in months.Bruno’s eyes lifted slowly.Cold.Unmoved.“I’m not done,” Lorenzo said.His voice quieter now.Not for the room.Just for him.
The King’s Broken Oath The Secret That Slapped the King
Every time they stopped her, it felt like chains being placed on her wrists.Erika noticed the shift in her expression.“Hey,” she said softly.Lidia looked up quickly, forcing the smile back.“I’m fine.”Erika crossed her arms, unconvinced.“You’re thinking again.”Lidia sighed.“It’s just…”Her h
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
