How she got them?

Flavio Esposito is a cruel man. Or that's what most think. Being the italian mafia leader has its perks, but has drastic downsides. Having 6 kids, 5 sons and 1 daughter, would put anyone in a tricky situation. After watching the love of his life, his wife, die in front of him, he learned it was no longer safe for his daughter to stay there. So, he did the best thing he thought of. No, not training her like his sons and keeping them there. Ha not that at all. Instead, he sent his daughter away to, what he thought, an ordinary boarding school. Let me tell you, he soon regrets that decision.
She was only 6 when she was cast off and sent away. Sadly for her, she vividly remembers every detail that happened. 11 years later, Rhexa is, out of the blue, set to return 'home'.
How will she deal with the news?
Seeing the people who first abandoned her, will she be happy? Or bicker with them?
How will her brothers and father react to her?
Will she take the news well when she reunites with someone who she loved but also abandoned her?

Sneak peek:
"Be careful how you fucking speak with me." He said with a serious voice that would make someone's blood chill. But I was not afraid, I somehow knew that he would never hurt Alice, not when Liam was here. It was obvious that Liam liked Alice, but I don't know if Alice was going to be interested in Liam after what was just going down.
"Or what? I am a fucking assassin, to be specific your own personal assassin. You know what I'm capable of doing, you're seeing what the news were talking about me. Maybe you should be careful of how you speak with me." I said, not even scared of his ass. I saw him adjusting his pants, fucking bastard was getting hard. So now who fucking has the control?
