Was the quite opposite to Isabella,he was a billionaire,unlike Isabella he didn't build his business from scratch his father passed it down to him,it all started when his mother came over to his office while he was working to try and convince him to tell her what he would like for his birthday,but Lorenzo wouldn't tell her anything he said he doesn't need anything witch was true because he had everything to every car,to multiple places he can stay,a private jet he didn't need anything he was loaded,but his mother was quite stubborn and left his office in search of finding something he didn't have witch was quite hard because being the mafia don it's almost impossible to not have anything you need and don't need.

When Poppy witnesses a robbery gone wrong and gives evidence to the police to catch the perpetrators, she finds herself in witness protection after discovering the criminals are part of a dangerous gang.
But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time. Poppy is forced to work for the spiteful leader, Rexx, who uses her natural beauty to swindle valuable information from wealthy men for his own benefit. She's been counting down the seconds until her freedom.
When she stumbles across Gabriel Dalton, the underboss to the mafia, he's charming, attractive and tempting. Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice. If she fights it, she'll get hurt-or worse.
As Poppy becomes closer to Gabriel, she doesn't expect to fall for him. And little does he know, she's been lying to him this whole time. There is only one thing Gabriel absolutely despises and that is heartless backstabbers.
