Reborn as a Mafia Princess.

Ep 1

italics are the ones that I will use for thoughts ok now let's start oh and bold ones for their dialogue to know better now let's start the chapter for real.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

In all those years, Aliria received endless love from her family. Her father, mother, and three older brothers loved her so much it was almost crazy.

In her past life as Christina, she was just an overworked nobody. But in the Rostov family, she was treated like a precious, fragile doll.

Now three years old, little Aliria could walk, run, and talk easily. But she quickly learned that talking clearly as a toddler just made her family think she was even more cute.

Which brought her to her current big problem.

Aliria Rostov=No! I don't wanna go, Mama.😩

Aliria said loudly. She crossed her tiny arms over her chest and puffed out her chubby cheeks.

Aliria rostov (thought)=There is no way on Earth I am letting a doctor stick a needle into me.🙂‍↔️

Aliria thought in panic. Her adult mind hated the idea of shots.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=I don't care if I am a toddler now—I have hated needles my entire life.🤧

Her father, Alistair Rostov, knelt down in front of her. His huge body looked tiny as he looked at her with soft, worried eyes.

Alistair Rostov(dad)=But Princess, it’s for your own good. Just a quick visit.

Dante, now twenty-five years old and wearing a smart dark suit, stepped forward.

Dante Rostov(first brother)=Little Angel, listen to us. Let's go see Doctor Uncle for your shot.

Matteo Rostov(second brother)=Yes, Cupcake let's go.

Matteo, now twenty-three, said with a big smile as he bent down.

Matteo Rostov(second brother)=We will eat ice cream after okay.

He even copied her pouty face to make her laugh.

Aliria shook her head hard and took a tiny step back.

Aliria Rostov=No... No... NO! I won't go.😤🙂‍↔️

Aliria Rostov (thought)=Nice try, Matteo, but one scoop of ice cream is not worth getting stabbed with a needle.😌🙂‍↔️

That was when Luca, twenty-one years old and sitting quietly in a chair, finally spoke. He tilted his head, his sharp eyes looking right at her.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Chibi

Luca said calmly.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=If you agree to go... I will buy you as much ice cream as you want.

Aliria froze. Her eyes went wide.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=As MUCH as I want?! Unlimited ice cream?.🤤

She pictured huge bowls of chocolate ice cream in her mind. Her mouth drooled a little bit. For a second, her baby greedy side completely beat her adult brain.

Aliria Rostov=O-Okay...

Aliria mumbled, wiping her mouth with her small hand.

Aliria Rostov=But promise me... you will give me as much as I want.👀

Luca gave a small, winning smile.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Promise. Now let's go shall we.

Aliria Rostov=OK.😁

Aliria said happily, giving up instantly.

Her mother, Valeria Rostov, laughed softly from the door.

Valeria Rostov (mom)=We were trying to convince her for so long and couldn't do it. But you made her agree in one minute, Luca. Wow.

Alistair narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, feeling very jealous.

Alistair Rostov (dad)=It's not that big of a deal.😑

he grumbled, glaring at his youngest son.

Dante Rostov (first brother)=Yeah.😑

Dante added coldly, pulling at his sleeves while glaring at Luca while he also feeling jealous cuz they were trying for so long to make her agree but luca did it in a min.

Dante Rostov (first brother)=I was just about to make her agree, too.😒

Luca didn't care. He just looked at his older brother and said teasingly.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Well, you failed, big bro.😏

Dante bit his lip in annoyance.

Dante Rostov (first brother)=Next time, I will win.😒

Matteo Rostov (second brother)=Hey! I was going to make her agree first.🙄

Matteo yelled, looking like a jealous child.

Luca looked at Matteo calmly and said teasingly to him too.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Really? Because I didn't see you succeed.😏

All three grown men—a powerful boss father, a cold rich big brother, and a crazy middle brother—were now standing together, glaring angrily at Luca out of jealousy.

Meanwhile, Luca just stood there with a small, proud smirk on his face.

Aliria looked back and forth at her family, sweating inside.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=Are you serious right now?!.😶

she thought, hitting her forehead in her mind.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=You three are dangerous, powerful men, and you are fighting like kids over who gets to bribe a three-year-old with sweets?! This family is crazy.🤧

A few hours later...

They arrived at the private hospital room. Luca carried Aliria in his arms as they walked down the quiet hallway.

Even though she had won her unlimited ice cream deal, Aliria's chest felt tight as she saw the doctor's door. She buried her face into Luca's shoulder and held his shirt tightly.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=Oh no... unlimited ice cream sounds nice.😥

Aliria swallowed hard, her heart beating fast.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=but now that we are here... I am terrified!😰.

They walked inside, and a nice doctor in a white coat smiled at them.

Doctor=Hello, little Aliria. Are you ready?

When Aliria saw the shiny metal needle sitting on a tray, her face went pale. Her toddler body began to shake.

Aliria Rostov=No, no, no! Mama, hold me! I don't want it.😭

she cried, reaching out her tiny arms.

Valeria instantly stepped forward and scooped Aliria up into her warm arms, holding her tightly against her chest.

Valeria Rostov (mom)=I'm right here, my baby. Don't look, just hold onto Mama.

Dante immediately stood in front of the doctor, blocking her view of the tray. He pulled out a shiny gold watch from his pocket.

Dante Rostov (first brother)=Look at this, Little Angel. See how it shines.

he whispered, swinging it gently to distract her.

Matteo started making funny, silly faces and dancing around the room.

Matteo Rostov (second brother)=Look at me, Cupcake.I'm a monkey.Ooh-ooh-ah-ah.

Aliria was so scared of the needle that tears filled her eyes, but Matteo's crazy dance made her giggle through her fear.

While she was snuggled safely against her mother, Luca gently held her tiny hand, giving it a soft squeeze.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Look at me, Chibi.

Luca whispered in his calm voice.

Luca Rostov (third brother)=Think about the ice cream.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=Chocolate... vanilla... strawberry...

Aliria thought, closing her eyes real tight and squeezing Luca's fingers while hiding her face in her mom's neck.

Doctor= All done.

the doctor said softly.

Aliria blinked and opened her eyes.

Aliria Rostov=Huh?!😲

She hadn't even felt it! There was just a small colorful dinosaur bandage on her upper arm.

Valeria Rostov (mom)=See. You were so brave, my baby.😊

her mother praised, kissing her soft cheek gently.

Dante pulled out his phone immediately.

Dante Rostov (first brother)=I am ordering the ice cream truck to come to the house right now.

Aliria looked at her dinosaur bandage, then at her overly protective family. She rested her head happily on her mother's shoulder with a soft sigh.

Aliria Rostov (thought)=Okay... getting a shot was scary, but having endless ice cream and a loving family makes it all worth it.😌🤤

*so her father didn't go with them cuz he had a urgent work which needed him so he wasn't able to accompany them*
