“You should at least pretend you’re happy, Rina,” her uncle Leon drawled, leaning against the side of the shooting stall.

Alerina gave him a flat look, one brow arched high. The fluorescent lights above the indoor range glared off her goggles, making her expression sharper and colder.

“Why would I?” she retorted. “Who in their right mind would be happy standing next to a monkey?”

The sarcasm in her voice cut like glass. She adjusted the straps of her vest with deliberate slowness, her small hands moving with confidence not common in a child her age.

Leon’s smirk widened as if her barbs only amused him. “Damn, why do you always call me a monkey when I’m clearly not? I’ll have you know I’m the most handsome man in the world.”

The arrogance in his tone made the air itself feel heavier, suffocating. It was so overblown that even the air vents above seemed to groan at the audacity.

Alerina stopped mid-motion, the toy gun still in her grip. She lowered it, turned, and stared at him a

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 15

    The night was cold and rainy. Drops pounded the pavement in a steady beat, making the docks gleam under the faint lighting. Alerina stepped out of the black car, her boots splashing in the tiny puddles. She wore a fitting black jacket and gloves, and her hair was twisted back into a tight braid. She was sixteen now, no longer the tiny, playful girl who nags her uncle or confronts kidnappers. Tonight, her face was calm, serious, and ready.Her father, Alejandro Lucas De Rossi, came out of the car behind her. He carried no umbrella even though the rain fell hard. His men were already in position, guns drawn, scanning every corner of the abandoned warehouse in front of them. Inside were the people who had stolen from the family and sold information to rivals. This raid was a warning, and Alejandro planned to make sure no one ever forgot it.But for Alerina, this night meant something more. It was her trial, the moment she had been waiting for. Her heart pounded hard in her chest, but h

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 14

    Erin De Rossi had long ago accepted what the doctors told her—that Alerina would be her only child. Years back, when she was kidnapped and shot while carrying Alerina in her womb, she nearly died. The damage was so severe the doctors had shaken their heads with pity and told Alejandro not to hope for more children. Erin hid her grief well, pouring all her love into the baby she carried to term and later into the precocious little girl who filled the De Rossi mansion with chaos and laughter.But fate had its ways of twisting the knife.When Erin woke one morning twelve years later, weak and nauseous, she dismissed it as stress from her medical shifts at the hospital. Yet the nausea persisted, joined by dizziness and an exhaustion she couldn’t explain. It was Alejandro who noticed first, his hawk-like eyes narrowing as he pressed a hand to her forehead.“You’re pale, mia bella. Sit,” he ordered, voice sharper than he intended. Erin rolled her eyes but obeyed, too tired to argue.A few t

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 13

    The moment Erin tugged her daughter’s hand through the sliding doors of the public hospital, Alerina wrinkled her nose so dramatically it looked like she had just sniffed poison. “Ugh, Mama, it smells like expired medicine and boiled cabbage in here. Why are we here again? Aren’t you a doctor? Can’t you just… you know… fix people in a cleaner place?” she muttered, pulling her sleeve over her nose. Erin gave her the look—a look sharp enough to silence even mafia underbosses who reported late. “Not everyone is privileged to have private care, Princess. Some people suffer in places like this, and as a future woman of this family, you need to see reality, not just the luxury of our estate.” Reality, Alerina thought, looked an awful lot like flickering fluorescent lights, groaning patients in wheelchairs, and nurses running as if chased by ghosts. She puffed her cheeks but followed along, her patent leather shoes clicking against the scuffed linoleum floor. When her mother stopped to c

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 12

    Alerina sat cross-legged on the marble floor of her father’s study, arms folded, eyes narrowed at Alejandro De Rossi, who loomed behind his desk like a king on a throne. She was already used to the weight of her father’s presence, the kind of commanding aura that made grown men sweat. But instead of shrinking back, Alerina lifted her chin, her dark eyes flashing. She looked like a smaller, sassier version of her Dada—dangerously sharp, impossibly stubborn. “You called me here because you love me, not because you’re planning something boring,” she said, already suspicious. Alejandro arched a brow, his lips twitching at the corners. He didn’t bother to deny it. “You’re sharp, my little devil. Good. But sometimes sharp children need sharpening in the right direction.” Alerina groaned dramatically and rolled her eyes. “Here we go again. Another lecture about discipline. Dada, I’m already disciplined—I always win.” Erin, who leaned against the doorframe still in her crisp white doctor

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 11

    The morning came at the De Rossi estate, the sun rays catching on the polished bannisters and framed portraits of ancestors who had all looked equally terrifying. In the middle of this intimidating grandeur, however, sat Alerina Amara Serene Morissette De Rossi, cross-legged on the couch with her Apple Watch flashing and her school shoes dangling off the edge. She wasn’t paying attention to her homework like she was supposed to. No—her eyes were narrowed in calculation. Her Dada, Alejandro Lucas De Rossi, the infamous mafia boss whose very name could freeze men with fear, had bested her again last night. She had tried to sneak into the restricted wing of his study—where she swore he kept secrets more valuable than diamonds—but he had caught her in the act without even looking up from his whiskey. The humiliation of being dragged back to bed under his amused smirk had burned in her chest all night. This morning, she vowed, things would be different. “Rina, why aren’t you finishing

  • Alejandro’s Obsession (English Version)   Special Chapter 10

    At ten years old, Alerina had already established herself as both the pride and headache of the De Rossi household. Pride, because she carried herself with the confidence and wit of someone far older. Headache, because most of that confidence was directed toward mischief. Her sharp tongue, daring imagination, and absolute lack of fear were a cocktail that made her teachers whisper prayers every morning and her parents question what kind of storm they had raised. On a Monday morning, Erin had taken the responsibility of getting her daughter ready for school. The elegant doctor tied her daughter’s dark hair into neat braids, while Alerina fidgeted like a restless soldier before a mission. “Sit still, Alerina. You move more than a patient in withdrawal,” Erin scolded, voice calm but firm. “I’m just preparing for battle, Mama,” Alerina replied, her eyes gleaming mischievously in the mirror. “You send me to that place every day, and you expect me not to treat it like a war zone?” Erin t
