As far she could remember, her household had been a peaceful one, well, until her seventh birthday. They live in the most dangerous city in Mexico, Tijuana. On the eve of her seventh birthday, a tragedy occurred in her family; her mother was assassinated after getting raped. The Mexican police concluded that it was a robbery that went wrong, but they couldn't be more wrong. Those who knew what her father does for a living knew what happened; recently, he had refused a promotion, her father works for the most dangerous cartel in the city; he was their accountant and sometimes a cleaner.
The refusal to get promoted resulted in his wife getting killed and being disguised as a robbery. The man who will be later known as 'El Diablo' took his daughter and the cartel bank account and fled to Miami that night; he swore to get his revenge. Smart as he was, Ricardo soon established his gang, his cartel; it was not hard as he had the money, the transaction routes for delivering drugs across the state, quickly Ricardo cartel became a force to be reckoned in Miami underworld, he soon extended his influence into his native country by taking over his former cartel. The Bloody Demon, named because of his bloody means used to tell his daughter this,
''You must never be weak. Weakness is a sin. Even when afraid, always show a strong front, be arrogant. Arrogance is a weakness when you can't back it or is afraid of taking a risk. A Rosares can never be afraid of taking a risk. Remember this no matter where you end up; you'll be my daughter, stay strong, be arrogant as being weak-willed isn't a Rosares.''
Even after being kidnapped, she showed no panic as the young girl believed that weakness would be exploited against her father; she stayed silent even when she was slapped twice, and her cheeks became swollen. She endured until her father and his men came to her rescue.
Surprisingly the eighth years old girl jumped on the man that slapped her and beat his neck, tearing apart a carotid; the man widened his eyes as he tried to stop blood from flowing out of the wound but failed. His last thought was that, indeed, Lion never product cat. That day even Ricardo was surprised by his daughter's fierceness; nevertheless, he was happy, which meant that his daughter would never be weak.

She had her little gang; her cold personality changed after encountering them; Sakuya and Luna brought a little bit of light inside the girl's life, the girl who was left inside a bull.
Even the apparition of these two people did not completely change the girl's mentality, she believes she must be strong, and one day she encountered a boy at first she hadn't thought anything of the boy only that he was cut, it was one of friends childhood sweetheart. She couldn't understand; no, the mature girl knew what this meant, just that experiencing something like this would create a weakness that her enemies would exploit as they did with her father. That day, the girl didn't introduce herself as she felt that the boy was beneath her noble status.
A few years later that everything changed; they have switched schools, now in Los Angeles for her father to expand his business, the girl and her friends registered at the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools. Being one of the most prestigious schools, it was filled with rich kids; on their first days, they heard a rumor of one of the students being the richest, a barely seventeen-year-old billionaire. This shocked them, especially the girl; she thought she was doing well with the few millions she earned with the help of her gang and friends, that in this school, she would be the queen, the richest. She had even thought of a strategy.
Aware of her beauty and personality, the girl decided to play the modest girl character. Imagine a beautiful girl with a cold face yet gentle to her fellow students? The result would be disastrous; this combination was bound to attract a lot of attention, favorable one that is it, this would increase her notoriety, making her famous. Everything was a strategy to dominate her new schoo quickly; however, to her surprise, there was someone whose notoriety had surpassed her own, a young billionaire; the girl became curious about this boy; she wanted to see the boy who dared to compete with her (From her point of view).
However, when she first laid eyes on the boy in question, she was shocked; she had a feeling of Deja Vu as if she had seen this boy somewhere. It was only when one of her best friends shouted.
''Lex?"
And rushed toward the young man she said something to him but the boy seemed not to know her. The girl stayed behind with her friend, but her mind was in turmoil; how could it be him? Why? And how did he become so strong?
Many questions started running through the girl's mind even when her friend came back dejected. She wasn't present when she comforted her. All that occupied her mind was the young man; she was curious about what he went through to change, to become what he was today.
Some said that once a woman became curious about a man, she was bound to end up falling in love. It was right.
The second day, the girl personally approached the young boy and introduced herself; it was her first time doing this; it was their second meeting.
''Hello, I'm Maria Alexa Rosares; nice to meet you.'' She said with a smile; it was a charming smile that could capture any man's heart, so she thought.
Except for a slight shock, the young boy smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm''I'm Alexander Kael Touch, Likewise. Excuse me; I'm a bit in a hurry; see you soon, beautiful lady.'' Alex had said before leaving.
Maria stood them surprised before smiling, her curiosity increased, from that day onward she would always try to talk with Alex. Still, unfortunately, he rarely came to school; they only interacted a few times. Maria believes that by understanding this young man, she would be able to become stronger, surpass her father.
The feeling of love might have started from there.
Then a tragedy and at the same time an opportunity presented, they died and reincarnated into another world, while few fools thought to believe that Alex possessed a useless Gift, Maria and her friends thought; otherwise, she decided to be on good term with the boy as she firmly believes that he would surpass everyone like ok Earth, she could learn from him, to become strong, not to be weak and indeed Alex has proven to her that her choice was right.
After their reunion, she had developed a certain feeling previously she would have scoffed at, love, she became aware of it after Alex told her what she wanted, and she proposed a condition which he accepted.
Maria sat in a world covered in ice and sighed; she closed her eyes as if to cut off her memories. When she opened them again there were full of determination; for the sake of her man, for the sake of her friends, loved ones she must be weak, she must become stronger, arrogant, calculative, all of this not lose to anybody, not end up like her mother. Maria stood up and advanced into the cold environment.
She is Maria Alexa Rosares, the Ice Empress, who governs Alex's Harem head, and this is her story.
