*Lorenzo's POV*

I punched him again.

"TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW" I shouted, pushing the bullet that was lodged in his leg further in. The man sitting loosely on the chair winced in pain. 'I'm glad I can get that reaction out of you, NOW WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?" I feel like I'm repeating myself, and I don't like that. At all.

This man was found snooping around in our gun stores. He was dragged to the cells immediately and my men called me from my office. That's the thing about the mafia, you don't go snooping, you don't trespass, and then you don't LIE.

This man did all three, and I'm making him pay for it. The Italian mafia has many enemies, but they don't normally mess with us, because we body them ever single time.

I took over from my father when I turned eighteen, and have been known as "king" ever since. It was the best thing, and the worst thing at the same time. It gave me a sense of responsibility, but also a very hostile personality. The only person I am remotely kind towards is my little Daisy.

I punched the man one last time. Then gave my second in command, Mateo, a nod. He could deal with him.

Slamming the cell door behind me, I tried to shake the thoughts of Daisy's teacher. That women has stolen my thoughts for the last couple of days. The way she talked , looked and spoke about Daisy with such a proud look. I just had to see her again.

In the mafia, it is a weakness to have a partner. You always have a weak spot, a weak link that way. Daisy was born into this lifestyle, she had no choice. And I will always feel guilty for that.

However, Miss Bloom made me feel nervous for once. Lorenzo Balzano never gets nervous. She was just...different?

I have a plan! Instead of Mateo taking Daisy to school today, I can take her, and then I can see Miss Bloom. I sprinted up the cell stairs towards Daisy's bedroom.

"Petal, are you nearly ready? Dads going to take you to school today!"

"YAY!" She squealed, and came running out in her pink top and jeans . After helping her with her bunches, which I really can't do may I add, I let her pick out one of my cars.

That's one of the benefits of being the biggest mafia leader in the world, I'm quite well off.

She instantly ran to my Range Rover Evoke, it was one snazzy car to be fair.

After loading her lunch bag and rucksack into the backseat, I buckled her in her car seat, and off we went.

"Daddy are you going to marry Miss Bloom?"

My eyes widened massively-

"Where did you get that weird idea from Daisy?" I chuckled.

"Well, Miss Bloom said that she doesn't have a boyfriend, then got all teary about it. And you don't have a girlfriend, so you might as well marry each other!"

"Ok Daisy. Number one, you know that I can't have a girlfriend. Number two, why are you asking your teacher about her relationship status!"

"I'm sorry daddy, i j-just wanted t-to make y-you happy" she stated, her voice cracking ever so slightly.

Feeling immediately bad, I had to say something as we arrived in the school car park.

"I'm sorry Daisy, it was a nice thought, it just can't happen" I gave her a weak smile and a kiss on the cheek, which she smiled at.

Daisy hopped out of the car and immediately ran towards the entrance where Miss Bloom was standing. I should put her in for track!

I locked eyes with her. The women whose been captivating my dreams. She gave me a slight smile and walked inside. Mission...successful?
