Chapter 112 Finally Meeting I
"We found Isabella!", Madam Paula heard.
"We found Isabella ma'am! The Don has gone to Umbria where she was last seen!", Andreas repeated, stunning Madam Paula even more.
What's got the old hag so...
Mia's thoughts were interrupted by one of Luciano's men who wanted more water.
Andreas watched Madam Paula's facial expressions go from confusion, shock and then excitement.
"Isabella?!", Madam Paula asked, her eyes wide as she finally recovered from her shock.
"Yes ma'am!
Isabella!", Andreas answered as he watched her eyes get teary and her smile widen.
"Is she okay?!", Madam Paula asked genuinely.
She had missed the lady dearly.
It was good news after all.
Isabella had finally been found.
"Yes she is! You don't need to worry about that!
Come on
Let's head back in
It's getting cold!", Andreas said as he led her inside.
"Won't you be packing anything? Like The Don did?!", Madam Paula inquired.
"No! I always have a stash in my van!", Andreas answered.
"That's actually really good.
Come have dinner before you all leave!", Madam Paula said as Andreas shut the door as they entered.
What's got her so excited?, Mia thought to herself as she heard the men chuckling from the kitchen.
I hope it's something worth reporting.
Soon enough, the jet was back from Umbria and the men boarded their vans and left for Luciano's private hangar.
They had to be with The Don for security purposes after all.
They didn't need any one of their oppositions learning about Luciano's vulnerable movements.

Still having no idea on the things Madam Paula and Andreas discussed, Mia was now very curious.
Rather desperate to report some exciting news as she hadn't done so in weeks, she decided to ask Madam Paula as they cleaned up.
However, she didn't even need to ask, the woman was more than eager to tell the news.
Afterall, she was still very oblivious to Mia's true intentions.
"My! The men sure eat a lot!", Madam Paula started, the ghost of a smile still on her face.
"They sure do.
Good thing we have enough to feed them!", Mia joked lightly as both of them chuckled.
"You know what Andreas told me this evening?", Madam Paula started, quite eager to share the good news.
"What's that?!", Mia asked as she dropped the plate she was washing.
"Calm down! Keep washing! You really don't need to stop!", Madam Paula said as she chuckled.
"Is there anything wrong??", Mia asked, a way to press the older lady.
"I just said good news!", Madam Paula answered.
"It's just that I'm so curious!", Mia said as she smiled shyly.
"Well! They finally found Isabella...
I'm not just sure if they'll bring her back to the mansion...!", Madam Paula's voice drowned in Mia's head.
She only processed the words before Isabella.
That was enough for her, for them.
Now all the scraps of information she had been hearing from the men finally made sense.
Luciano was alone at this specific moment, she needed to report that!
If they weren't successful with an attack or if they couldn't even plan one, they finally had a lock on Isabella's location.
Mia needed to report that information, and she needed to do it fast.
Madam Paula had no idea she was making the biggest mistake of her life as she went on and on about most of the things she and Andreas had discussed.
Mia basically endured the small talk as she hurried to finish up in the kitchen.
She wasted no time in heading to her room as Madam Paula settled to watch a telenovela.

Mia closed the door behind her gently and locked it.
She tried not to make any noise, she didn't want to rouse any suspicion.
She had after all been ordered to keep her actions anonymous.
She then turned towards her personal bathroom where she headed to that one specific tile.
She carefully removed the title...
Mia how stky wondered how she hadn't managed to break the tile. Everytime she came to this specific spot, she always had news that could make or break.
She dialed the only number on the phone five times.
He's probably busy!
Mia concluded as she sent a very detailed text to the anonymous number.
Now, she had to actually bathe and pretend she had been doing her "self care!"
\~~~
Luciano came out of the shower in the hotel he had checked into while he waited for his men.
The villa he had in Umbria was too far from Isabella's house.
He didn't want to go there, as a result, he checked into a hotel in Isabella's neighbourhood.
He had originally planned on seeing Isabella the same night he had landed in Umbria, however, Tomasso had convinced him otherwise.
He still remained unsettled from two news he had gotten that evening.
The first was Isabella's baby, which could probably be his baby.
He couldn't rule the possibility out, considering he laid with her just before she escaped.
He was honestly proud of her, she did good for herself in a completely different locale.
The second was the information his tech guy Aldo had provided.
A couple of months ago, he had been given details of an anonymous offshore account.
Aldo finally sent a report.
There were several connections between the burner phone and the offshore account.
Not only had the anonymous sender put the file in a similar box as the burner phone, the same person had dropped it off .
They had similar outfits, even if he had a helmet on.
Both were used to contract jobs.
The burner phone had been assembled in Venice
The offshore account mostly received transactions from Venice.
Luciano sent out a few orders as he looked at the other things he had to review.
Then, he went back to looking at Pictures of Isabella.
While he did, he recalled how she had grown on him.
It was crazy, but he actually felt her presence as he stayed in the hotel.
That wouldn't have happened if he went to stay at his Villa.
There and then Luciano started to wonder what he would say to her when he met her.
