Chapter 123 Back to Milan
Mei Ling's alliance with Luciano had been a farce from the very beginning...
Of course the man in question was very well aware.
Hence the tracker Aldo planted.
Luciano also calculated that it wouldn't be long before Mei Ling reported to whoever was behind the shadows.
Following Mr Felix's capture, Mei Ling panicked, wondering if The Don would extend the punishment to her.
She had quickly reported to her boss, Luciano's main opposition.
The boss in question, the one who had been pulling the strings, the man in the shadows, was none other than Mia's anonymous caller.
One could say the man had people everywhere.
\~~~
Mia entered her room, heading to her bathroom in the afternoon for the same purpose.
She was intent on calling or leaving a message for her anonymous caller.
However, this time, all she had seen was a missed call and a series of texts.
She was being warned to lay low in the meantime.
Seeing that Luciano had been snooping, her heart beat accelerated.
Being caught was something she didn't want, however, she wasn't exactly sure as The Don would be arriving anytime soon.
"Mia!", Madam Paula suddenly called out.
The sudden call made Mia jolt, thus, she almost dropped the phone.
Instead of raising suspicion, she quickly dropped the phone in the drawer next to her, leaving the tile open.
She quickly rushed out, making a mental note to keep the phone hidden properly later.

"Do we need to take anything?!", Isabella asked for the upteenth time as Luciano dressed Sophia.
Over the past few days, Sophia had warmed up to her father, as much as Luciano warmed up to his daughter.
As much as Isabella didn't like to admit, she was glad they had formed a bond.
The day had come for them to actually leave Umbria and head back to Milan, to Luciano's mansion.
However, it was a bit hard for Isabella, especially since Umbria had been her safe space.
Until it wasn't!
Luciano could tell from all the time she asked him questions which really didn't matter.
"All you need is back at the mansion!", Luciano said as he smiled at his daughter.
"Okay!
And what if I need to get something?!", Isabella inquired again as she fiddled with her phone.
"Then Andreas and some men will escort you while you go get it!", Luciano answered again, patient with her questions.
"Also why aren't you coming with us!
I thought we were leaving for our - sorry, Sophia's protection!", Isabella said, trying to correct herself In the last part.
Luciano had already caught onto the correction.
"Yes!
Including you and my child!
I just need to stay behind and take care of business!", Luciano explained as he put on Sophia's bow.
"Ohh okay!", Isabella said.
She watched as Luciano carried Sophia to his chest as she babbled.
"Come!
I'll escort you!", Luciano said as he headed towards the door.
"When will you be back!?", Isabella asked as she felt reluctant to leave him behind.
Especially after she saw the woman the other day, and the amount of physical contact they had.
"Sooner than you expect Amore!
I'll be back as soon as I'm done!", Luciano replied as he kissed the top of her head.
He dragged her to her feet and kissed the top of her head again.
Then, he enveloped his beloved and his daughter in his muscular arms.
Unable to admit how she wanted the hug to last longer, or that she liked the feeling that accompanied the hug, she stepped back as soon as Luciano released his hold.
He could see from her reaction that she hadn't accepted him yet.
However, it was only a matter of time.
Just a bit more time till the walls she had built crumbled to the warmth of his feelings.
He held her hand as he headed out of the room. However, Isabella didn't budge from where she stood.
"Voglio...
Voglio vedere la mia famiglia", Isabella said as she brought her eyes to look directly at his green orbs.
Luciano stiffened.
Her family hadn't meant much to him since he had started feeling a certain way for Isabella.
However, her question made him realize he needed to clean up that loose end.
Not unalive them!
But make peace with them as they mattered to Isabella.
"You'll see them!
But it has to be after I come back!", Luciano replied.
He had lied to them on multiple occasions...
They weren't going to give him the best welcome.
"Why?!", Isabella asked curiously, however, she soon lost interest as she was replied with an expressionless face.
"Never mind!", Isabella said as she walked towards the exit of her room.
"I have to make my intentions clear!
We'll go meet them together!", Luciano said as Isabella stopped in her tracks.
"When you get back?!", Isabella asked as she turned towards him.
She knew what his intentions were, it was obvious enough as he climbed her bed.
"Hmm!", Luciano hummed.
Together, they headed towards the van which was heavily secured.
Luciano escorted them to his private hanger just like he said before he went back to the Villa to actually take care of business.
Since he couldn't be with her in Milan at that specific moment, Luciano slept on her bed back at the Villa.
He didn't forget to make preparations for her welcome, especially after she had birthed him a child.
Isabella still didn't know about the Luxurious life Luciano wanted to shower her with.
\~~~
Nico's hunt for justice hadn't gone unrewarded.
No one had known how he hoped for revenge.
No one had any idea the lengths he would go to avenge his brother.
Thus, they certainly didn't know how he planned to do so.
His search definitely paid off as he had finally found suspects.
Two actually!
However, one of them ordered the hit on Luciano.
One of them caused his brother to lose his life.
'The Don would be very happy to hear this!', He thought as he took several pictures from his bike.
He would make sure they went down...
Even if it was the last thing he did!
~~
Translation;
Voglio vedere la mia famiglia - I want to see my family.
~~
To be honest guysss
I don't know why Nico's blaming everyone but his brother for the death he walked into.
Do you think his feelings are valid?
