Chapter 120 Progress
"I'm sorry baby!", Isabella said as she absent mindedly poured the contents on the spoon aimed at Sophia's mouth.
Sophia looked at her mother in wonder.
She couldn't really fathom what was happening, because it never happened before!
Isabella hadn't stopped huffing since she saw Luciano embrace that one.
It bothered her...
Especially after he'd confessed his love for her the same day.
She got herself and her baby showered.
Opting for more covered clothes...
She subconsciously wore more just in case!
She put Sophia to bed, all while huffing and giving herself much to think about.
Soon enough, She heard engines firing up.
She shot from her bed and headed towards the window.
She didn't see any female hopping into any of said vans.
'Why am I this paranoid!', Isabella asked herself.
She sneered for the hundredth time as she decided to go back to sleep.
However, the moment she heard doors opening and jolly laughter...
She shot to the window yet again observing how he hugged and laughed with the woman.
''Ha! Amore! Amo il mio piede! Cosa sto facendo?' Isabella thought as she went back to bed, she wanted to go to sleep so bad.
For such a petty reason, Isabella had done quite well by putting off the lights in her room before she watched how they flirted.
The woman wasn't going to let this go in the slightest!
Hmph!!
~~
Luciano's smile fell as Mei Ling's van drove out of the villa compound.
"I still don't understand why you would partner with her.
She had you drugged a while ago!
Or did you forget that?!...", Andreas asked.
Luciano simply turned to look at him as he smiled.
Of course!
Andreas wasn't going to be welcome with the idea.
He didn't see the situation from his perspective as at the time, he had gone out to take care of business.
"Follow me!", Luciano simply said as he turned and went back into the villa.
Andreas cocked his head as he thought.
'Lucino had something going on!'
Indeed it was really more than it seemed.
"Close the door behind you!", Luciano ordered as he walked towards his table in his home office.
"Come on man!
Take a seat!", Luciano offered as he let out a chuckle.
Andreas simply shook his head as he awaited Luciano's to reveal his sly plan.
As he sat, Luciano opened his phone and slid it over to Andreas.
He didn't understand what Luciano was trying to show him until he started reading what was displayed on the phone.
"Don't you think it's a trap?!", Andreas asked Luciano as he read the messages from Mei Ling.
"In what sense!?!", Luciano asked as he crossed his leg.
"How did she know you were in Umbria. Unless...!", Andreas thought as he looked at Luciano.
They were thinking about the same thing.
More like they knew the same thing at that point!
"She's conniving with Felix!", Luciano said for the both of them.
"No way!", Andreas commented.
"She's an arms dealer Andre! Of course she'll stick with the one who wouldn't cost her too much!", Luciano said.
Andreas passed Luciano his phone as his mind raced.
He was still processing the information.
It turned out Luciano had showed Andreas some text messages Mei Ling had sent to curry his favor.
She knew Felix was at a disadvantage, and that Luciano was going to catch up to him soon.
She had sold weapons to Felix, thus, she looked like she was trying to avoid some heat.
"What's the assurance they don't have some person they're reporting to!?", Andreas asked.
Afterall, Luciano had brought the woman to the villa, entertained her and discussed with her.
"Oh they do! They're all comnected to this one anonymous person!", Luciano answered.
"The one who's been giving us some trouble the last few months?!", Andreas asked a she sat up.
"Exactly!", Luciano answered.
Andreas sat a while as he processed the information, however, one part still didn't make any sense to him.
"Why then did you invite her over!?!", Andreas asked.
"Aldo tapped her phone!
Couldn't be done because her phone is heavily encrypted, but he could do so remotely.
He used my device to get the tracker on her phone!", Luciano explained.
"Woah!", Andreas said as everything started to make sense to him.
"You're good!", he commented.
"I try!", Luciano said, gloating.
"One more thing!", Andreas said, getting Luciano's attention as he pointed towards the ceiling.
He referred to a certain person.
"Shit!
We have to book a flight discreetly to get them out of here!", Luciano said as he was ready to go meet her.
"She's changed so much you know!", Andreas reminded as Luciano stood up and headed to the door.
"I don't intend to do her wrong this time!", Luciano answered.
"I know! It will take a while though!", Andreas said.
It really would take a while! Isabella had grown...
Way more than she needed to, to survive.
It was going to take Luciano quite a while to thaw her heart, if he even had a chance.
She was determined not to give him one.
"I know!
That'll be all!", Luciano said as he subconsciously awaited Andreas snarky comment.
"Wow! I never thought this day would come!", Andreas teased.
"What?!", Luciano asked.
"I had never seen you so riled up about someone that you were puttig a bullet through their head!", Andreas continued.
"Whatever!
Meeting's over!
Don't forget the flight!", Luciano reminded as he left the office.
Andreas followed after him, turning off the lights and enabling security protocols.

Isabella couldn't sleep as a result of what she had seen earlier that night, thus, she continued to huff, even after she'd climbed the bed.
Her dismay didn't last too much as she suddenly heard footsteps.
She didn't need to sniff the air to know it was him, his perfume wafted into her nostrils far before he entered her room.
She scrambled to a sleeping position where her eyelids wouldn't betray the fact that she hadn't slept yet.
Luciano entered the room, heading for Sophia's crib.
He smiled softly as he touched her locs of hair.
She was undoubtedly his child.
They looked too identical.
His gaze shifted to Isabella! From one look at her lying body, he knew she wasn't asleep yet.
She was far too tense, and her sleeping position...
It gave him the most scandalous ideas.
Especially with how her backside puckered...
Luciano shook his head as he focused on why he came into the room in his first place.
Isabella heard the silence but still didn't open her eyes.
She thought he was leaving, however, much to her dismay, the man was just taking off his shoes.
The drop of his shoes on the floor told Isabella where in the room he was.
However, she didn't expect what happened next.

'Ha! Amore! Amo il mio piede! Cosa sto facendo?' - 'Ha! Love! Love my foot! What am I even doing?!'
