Rexha Madden is simply a bad bitch. She's hard-headed and doesn't let most things get to her.
Most things.
Mafia donna, street fighter, and street racer.
That's who she is, or who she is known for.
Cliche as it is, she has been through hell and back and has the scars to prove it.
How she got them?
Well, we can get into that later.
Rexha was painfully abandoned by people who she had used to call family, her blood. She was sent away to a boarding school after she watched her mother bleed to death. Lets just say, that 'boarding school' was not what anyone thought.
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?

The minute she turns around, my eyes lock onto her. Her striking features catch my attention, and I notice the exhaustion in her amber eyes.
Then it hits me. She's the girl who tried to escape earlier outside.
I've seen her before. Where have I seen her before? I've seen her where-suddenly, realization strikes me.
She was the one who served us at the club.
"Y-You," my son stares at her in disbelief.
"Yeah, I know I'm hot as fuck," she smirks.
