Two strongest and most famous mob families. One common enemy. The Holland family and the Downey family. Will they join forces? What happens when two lost souls fall in love?
"Honey, you look beautiful!" my father said with a big smile on his face and kissed me on the forehead. "Thanks, dad." My parents and I are going to a ball tonight organized by a rival mob family. When I asked my father about it, he said not to deal with it, he said that he and Mr. Holland had a business together. Our families have been rivals for a long time. I have no idea if something happened between Mr. Holland and my father, he never told me about it, honestly I didn't even ask him about it. "Oh my god, sweetheart! You're so beautiful" my mom said and hugged me. "Mom, did you see yourself? You're beautiful!" Me and my parents have a beautiful relationship, I never lie to them. My dad taught me how to use a gun, how to kick someone in the ass, how to fight. My mom and I took over the girls' stuff. Boys, fashion, cooking and things like that. Most of my "friends" only befriended me because I was the daughter of a mob boss. Only Grace stayed with me. She's my real best friend. We've known each other since we were little. Our parents are longtime friends. Grace and her parents will be with us tonight. Her mother and father are like second parents to me. "Your car is ready, sir." "Thanks Mike!" Mike is the head of security. He has been working for my father for several years. He's like my uncle. He always looked after me and trained me when my father couldn't. "You look great Y/n/n." "Thank you Mike, you don't look bad either." When we finally arrived at Holland manor and got out of the car, there were already several guests. There were also a few familiar faces, but I was only interested in one, and that was Grace, who was already smiling at me from a distance. "Hello beauty!" Grace said and pulled me into a big hug. "Hey Gracie, you look amazing!" After greeting Grace's parents, we went inside. The waiters brought us a drink and in a few minutes we were in the company of Mr. Holland. "Rober, nice to see you!" "Dominic" my father and Mr. Holland shook hands and turned his gaze to me. "You must be Y/N." "Yes sir, nice to meet you." Mr. Holland's wife Nikki also joined us in a few minutes. "Susan, how are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Mrs. Holland is a very nice woman. She greeted me with a big smile and hug. I have to admit that they are not as bad as I imagined them to be. "Darling, haven't you seen our sons?" Mr Holland asked. "Harry, Sam and Paddy are coming here and Thomas had to take care of some business, he didn't tell me which one, he just told me not to worry, Harrison is with him." We talked and laughed, Mr and Mrs Holland are very nice. Their sons are funny and adorable, especially Paddy, the youngest. I noticed that Grace was still looking in one direction, when I looked at what or who was so interested in her, I saw a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. Next to him stood another young man with dark brown eyes and curly brown hair. He was looking at me. The blond-haired man told him something. They both smiled and slowly began to move towards us. "Thomas, Harrison, you have finally honored us with your presence." "I'm sorry, father, I still had some outstanding accounts." It was him, a brown-eyed young man with curly hair. He was Thomas, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Holland. I noticed Harrison and Grace looking at each other. I pushed her a little to him. I will not lie, Thomas was very handsome. His muscular body was only inches from me. He approached me, grabbed my hand in his, and gently placed a kiss on top of it. "Nice to meet you, Miss Downey." "Mr Holland." I stared into his beautiful dark eyes and he stared into mine. "I'm Harrison, but everyone calls me Haz." He smiled at me and Grace. I saw that she fell in love with him at first sight and he fell in love with her. It didn't take long for Haz and Grace to dance together. They looked happy. Grace finally had the smile on her face again, the smile she always has when she's in love, but this time her smile was stronger. As the waiter passed me with drinks, I took one and went to the balcony to breathe fresh air. The sky was full of stars and the tiny lights of the city flickered in the distance. It was magical. "Beautiful night, isn't it?" I turned to the man's voice, it was him, Thomas. "Yes it is." "What are you doing out there? All the fun is inside." "I needed some fresh air, that's all." I looked at him and his eyes scanned my whole body. "I have to admit, you look beautiful in this dress, I've seen a lot of women here tonight, but you're the most beautiful of them all." "You're flattering me, Mr. Holland." "Please, call me Thomas." "Well Thomas, thank you for your compliment." Thomas smiled at my self-confidence and charm. I looked into his deep eyes. And that was the first time I met him. The man I knew at first glance would change my life.
