Chapter 99 Time Jump
\~~~SIX MONTHS LATER~~~
The search for Isabella continued, especially by Luciano's rival as they planned to use the situation to get to him.
However, their search only remained futile as Isabella was smart enough to stay out, and stay hidden.
Within this time, Luciano had gone back to the mansion, deciding to dwell in the property which held the most memories of Isabella.
The feeling was consuming, the feeling he hadn't tagged with a name yet, but it made him do things he wouldn't have done before he met the lady.
He never thought he would sit and think about a lady's hair.
Of course, the house staff moved with him, Madam Paula, Mia, the mansion's security and Andreas.
Isabella on the other hand had gotten back to work in that time frame.
Luckily for her, Miss Gina had agreed to stay an extra three months following Sophia's birth.
Her decision made things easy for Isabella, as she didn't have to worry about Sophia's wellbeing when she worked tirelessly to make ends meet.
Sophia was such a chirpy baby, her little ray of sunshine.
She meant everything to her mother, and Isabella was going to make sure she did everything to provide for Sophia.
Although she wasnt that present in her daughter's life following her resumption back to work, She tried to have a meal with her daughter every night, no matter how tired she was.
Sophia was growing and so was their needs, Isabella already applied for several jobs.
Her options were limited however because she didn't have a college degree. That didn't deter her, she searched for over a month and sent out several applications.
She had to, she had to find a better paying job than the waitress position she held at the restaurant.
Within the last six months, her resilience had been unmatched.
She had single handedly made sure her small family did not lack.
Regardless, Celia had been with her every step of the way.
She was the shoulder Isabella fired on when things got too much.
Celia was a good friend to Isabella, the latter considering the former as a blessing since she arrived in Umbria.
Mia's anonymous caller continued to call at intervals.
Of course, they had more space to talk as Mia was already back in the mansion.
What she didn't know was that Mario, one of Luciano's men, had his eyes on her since he had earlier suspected her.
He had a bad feeling about the lady, and he was going to make sure he got to the bottom of it.
The anonymous caller on the other hand continued to plot against Luciano.
Looking for several weak points, all in the name of sabotaging The Don.
He couldn't find any, so he was determined to find the girl Luciano had gotten soft for.
Andreas still hadn't told Mia how he felt despite the numerous opportunities he had.
He kept holding back for the right moment! Holding back because he was unsure, and holding back because he was scared of her rejection.
He simply wanted to make sure the lady felt the same.
Such a pity!
The conspiracy behind Mia's Presence was something they never would have expected.
The Morales continued to pay their debt to Luciano.
They managed to deposit a sum of one hundred and twenty five million Euros.
The amount significantly relieving the burden of such a huge debt.
In total they had paid one hundred and ninety one million Euros.
Fully aware they would pay the amount back in no time, they started building the courage to ask about Isabella.
They certainly weren't ready for Isabella's evolution.
The lady who packed her bags, scared to be in The Don's Presence, was now a hardworking mother, trying to provide for her daughter.
