In which mafia princess gianna caruso, giovanni and naomi's daughter, falls for two boys at once; one, her bodyguard and the other, hiding a dark secret.
"What's going on with you?" Roman asked as he drove her back to the house. She had no choice but to go back there. Her dad canceled all her cards. "Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked her.

Gianna sighed and rubbed the side of her face where her dad lost his temper and smacked her. "I️ just...I️ can't believe after all these years of being absent, he has the audacity to think he can just come back in my life and tell me what to do and demand respect?" She scoffs in disbelief.
"Gigi, the man loves you, he does," Roman tries to defend him.
"You're only saying that cause he pays you to," she replies.
"Have you ever tried seeing it from him perspective?" Roman asked. "Look, he even got you a bodyguard to try to keep you safe," he points out to her.
"Yeah but safe from what Roman?" She says in an exasperated tone. "From who?"
Roman looks over at her before looking back on the road. "That's a question you're gonna have to ask him," he says as he pulls up to their villa. Roman walks over and opens the door for her and she hops out with his help. She walks into the house and sees her dad sitting on the grand staircase, waiting for her.
His eyes flick between her and Roman. Effie focusing back on her. "We need to talk," he tells her. "Roman, you're dismissed," he tells him.
"Of course...goodnight Don Giovanni, Giana," he bids before walking off to his room, leaving just the two of them.
"I️ don't have anything to say to you," Gianna says, walking past him until he reaches out and grabs her wrist to pull her back.
"Gigi-"
"Don't touch me!" She snaps. "You put your hands on me again, lo giuro, I️ am leaving this house and I️ am never coming back," she bites.
"Gianna, I'm sorry," he pleads. "I lost my temper," he explains to her. "Look, I️ heard everything you had to say," he says calmly. "Now it's my turn," he gestures to the kitchen. "Come, sit," he tells her.
Gianna eyes him warily before following him to the kitchen, taking a seat on the island while he sits across from her. They both don't say anything for a few tense moments and then, he asks, "Do you know how your mom and I️ first met?"
Gigi looks up at him in confusion. "Um, not really. I️ asked mom a long time ago, she said you guys fell in love at your club when she came here for vacation," she recalls.
Gio chuckles to himself. "That's the tame version," he says.
"Okay, ew, I️ get it, it's pretty obvious you guys had sex. I️ mean, I'm sitting right in front of you," she gags.
"Gigi, it's no secret I'm in the mafia," he speaks. "You know this. But being in the mafia, you have your good sides, like this house, the cars, your college education; and then it has its bad sides. The violent side. The side I️ tried to so hard to protect you from," he explains. "Gigi, when I️ met your mother, she was in a relationship with a different man," he admits to her, her eyes widening. "A dangerous man. He was the head of the Sinaloa Cartel," he informs her.
