Chapter 137 The Chaos to Ensue
"Is there any problem?!", Catalyst asked as he picked up the call on such short notice.
"It's just...
I have important information!", Mia said as she grasped the phone tightly to her ear.
"Which is?
Speak up!
I'm in a meeting!", Catalyst urged!
He truly hadn't expected her call.
"Well!
The lady and his daughter just left the mansion.
They're without security!", Mia informed, instantly peaking the catalyst's interest.
"Really?!", Catalyst asked as he motioned for his assistant.
"I'm really sure!
But I'm not that sure about where they're headed!", Mia admitted, her tone lowering like she had done something wrong.
"You should have...!", Catalyst started, ready to say a few words.
"I know!!
But they suddenly went out and I...!", Mia drawled, getting cut off by Catalyst.
"Reduce your voice!
We don't want you getting caught now!"
"Yes!", Mia agreed, lowering her voice.
"Keep your eyes out for more information!
Bye for now!", Mia heard before the call ended.
She had seen Isabella going out of the mansion without security, thus, she thought to notify the catalyst.
She didn't expect he would pick on her in such a manner.
Concluding he was in a bad mood, Mia returned the phone and left her bathroom.

More invested in finding out the guard's destination, Isabella had momentarily forgotten she had a child in the car.
"Drive faster!", Isabella urged.
"But ma'am!
I can't increase the speed.
The Don ordered...!", Guiseppe started.
"I don't care what The Don said, I want you to speed up and catch up with him!", Isabella said.
Knitting his eyebrows, Guiseppe didn't know to say No to the woman who held The Don's heart...
Or so he thought!
"I thought we were going to get Ice cream!?", Guiseppe countered.
"Well!
We'll get Ice cream after this!
Sofia's still asleep so we can get this done quick!", Isabella said, trying to convince herself and Giuseppe.
However, when she turned to look at her sleeping daughter, she found that Sofia had vomited on the seat.
"Oh My!", Isabella squealed as she thought of how ignorant she had been.
"What!
What's going on!?", Guiseppe asked as he immediately stepped on the brakes.
"It's Sofia!", Isabella exclaimed as she grabbed paper towels.
"What about Sofia?
Is she okay?!", Guiseppe asked as he looked behind to see what was going on.
He watched as Isabella grabbed paper towels to clean her daughter.
"Do you want me to stop by a supermarket!
So we can get supplies!?", Guiseppe asked as they were already quite far from the mansion.
"Yes!
Exactly!", Isabella said as she grimaced.
She hadn't meant that to be ignorant.
She watched the car get mixed with the rest of the traffic and sighed.
Sofia was more important to her than any chase.
'Some other day!', Isabella thought as Guiseppe drove towards the store.
"Maybe we'll just get that ice cream anyways!", Isabella said as she sighed.
"Yes ma'am!", Guiseppe answered.
"Oh yeah!
Do you have cash I can borrow!?
I forgot to take my purse out!", Isabella asked, hugging her daughter to her chest.
"Yes ma'am!
Definitely!", Guiseppe answered.
"I feel so bad!", Isabella admitted.
"There's nothing to worry about ma'am!", Guiseppe reassured.
"She might have gotten uncomfortable with how fast the car was!", Isabella deduced.
"It's really nothing to worry about! It wasn't a blow out!", Guiseppe said.
In no time, Guiseppe arrived at the store.
Isabella alighted to use the restroom with Sofia.
They brought supplies to clean the mess in the car and in no time, they were done and ready to go.
They had no idea how left the situation was about to turn.
"How many of you?!", Guiseppe suddenly heard as a cold object was pressed to his skull.
He didn't need to look to confirm that it was a gun.
He tightened his jaw as he calculated how best to take the man down without any harm going to the mother or child.
"I asked a fucking question?!", Guiseppe heard again as the statement was soon followed by a harsh kick to the leg.
"Just one!", Guiseppe said, not giving away the actual situation.
He suddenly heard shuffling behind him, followed by a status report.
However, as soon as he saw there would be more men, Guiseppe decided to act quickly.
A swift punch followed Guiseppe's turn.
It had landed right in the nose of the masked man.
Taking the gun from where it had dropped on the floor, he directed it towards the men who had held him earlier.
Playing along the masked man raised one hand, as the other held his slightly bleeding nose.
Guiseppe stepped back, the gun still in hand as he tried to protect the mother and child.
He truly wondered how they walked up to him and how he hadn't suspected them from the start.
He just didn't know he was too late.
Turning to the other side of the car, he was surprised to see that Isabella had been gagged and put in a zip cuff.
The worst sight to behold however was the gun pressed to baby Sofia's head.
"What do you want?!", Guiseppe asked, trying hard not to make any rash decision.
One wrong move could cost the baby her life.
Guiseppe didn't want that.
"Tell Luciano that the Catalyst sent us!", The masked man with Sofia in his arms said.
"What?!", Guiseppe asked, confused.
However, before he could process more information, one of the masked men had knocked him out with a gun.
\~~~
Madam Paula looked towards the direction of the gate multiple times wondering when Isabella and Sofia would be back.
'It was just Ice cream!', she reminded herself over and over again.
It didn't seem to work as she wouldn't stop jumping at the slightest sound.
She didn't know the relationship between Isabella and Luciano as of that moment.
But, she did know Luciano didn't play about those two.
'Just Ice cream!', she reminded again as Guiseppe or Isabella's phone was unreachable.
Going into panic mode, she decided to call Andreas.
It had been over five hours, something was definitely wrong
