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?
Read along and find out.

(MAFIA HEIR SERIES BOOK 1!!)
Lillian Gold, daughter of the Mafia queen, has no recollection of who her father was, or is. Her life, is far from normal. From the age of 3 she was told her father had passed away. They had a funeral and all, only, Lily has no memory of that.
From the age of 13 her mom turned inside out, becoming the monster everyone believed her to be. She trained Lily to fight, to kill, and best of all, hold back emotions. Don't get attached. In the end it's always been business, she was always put on the second tier of her mothers cake.
Lily doesn't want this life, she never has. She's wanted a normal family, kids, and a husband. She doesn't want to be her mother. Not everyone gets what they want though, do they.
Grayson Smith, son of the Mafia king, crime lord, what ever you want to call it, has a decent life going for him. He's in line to be the next big boss. He'll be taking over for his dad soon enough, and he's more than ready for it. He's got the grades, the ladies, and the signature title of school bad boy.
The only thing he's had to do was keep himself un-noticed, and follow orders. So when he gets orders from his dad to keep a close eye on Lily, he has no other choice but to follow through. Grayson has always been good at keeping his emotions locked up somewhere deep inside him. Somewhere no one can reach. Well, that is, until he mets Lily.
