Cleo
I have my reasons for not discussing work with Angelo. One of the many reasons is because I didn't want us to clash heads when I had to make my own decisions . He has never liked the fact that I was a self starter. He would always try and find a way to make me work under him . The room we we were in was quiet and sound proof. It was only when you went outside could you hear the noise.
I needed to cool off and looking out at the ocean was what I needed to do .
I took a couple of deep breaths and looked around to make sure the coast was clear and I screamed my lungs out . When I screamed out for the third time I felt an embrace and my head was on someone's shoulder and he was soothing me . I knew in my husband because who ever it was smelt of cinnamon and ginger .
"Shhh it's okay I've got you . "
Chapter 25AngeloI value my time with Cleo and cherish every moment I spend either with her alone or with her and our family. Even though Matteo plunged my company, I knew I was still powerful and that meant I had to step up in terms of making sure my family was safe.A week after the night at the restaurant ; Cleo moved back up to Johannesburg. I don't know how she managed to convince my father; who was so angry with me when I wanted to leave with Cleo and our children a couple of days before Christmas . We ended up staying till new year then leaving on the third of January.Three weeks after that Cleo had to go back to Cape Town and take the kids with her leaving me alone in Johannesburg. We still hadn't had time together and the only way I could guarantee that we have sexy time was for me to the co
Chapter 26CleoLast night the strangest thing happened to me. I was out with Salvatore and Hannah because Juan Diego Francisco had invited us to a festival he was performing at before he was due to perform at the Valentine's day ball Luca Corp was organising.I didn't recognise Juan Diego until he jogged my memory about highschool when he requested to have lunch with me and my boss agreed. I knew Juan before Clara . He was my boyfriend in High school but our love wasn't meant to be . The reason was class difference. Which I didn't understand then , but I sure as hell understand now.Juan broke my heart by leaving me dateless at the final year dance... Jake Black who had an affinity for me ,& who's heart I broke a year before came through for me . A year after we started dating and I was interning at a magazine company after , he went to go work for his father's co
Chapter 27AngeloI have a tendency of losing it when I don't get the answers I need . Part of me feels like my father and Salvatore are out to get me with regards to my relationship with Cleo. We are married and yet it feels as if I have no control on what the decisions she makes and the people she sees . I know something was up with Juan Diego Francisco when I saw him last year. He wanted Cleo indirectly without being direct about it .I cannot believe that my father was responsible for my wife not being around. I was going to kill Salvatore when Daniel stopped me . He would never lie to me and he told me that his sister would be back before Valentine's day. My dad was making me pay for saying ; no to him . Juan Diego was Cleo's ex boyfriend that she didn't tell me about or mention. All I know is what Daniel told me; Cleo's first love died while playing a rugby match and Juan Diego was the
Chapter 28CleoI don’t know the man I married. I seriously don’t . I thought I knew the man Angelo was . It turns out that I don’t and what is worse is that he knew who I was all along. Meeting Juan was not by accident and knowing what I know now, I still love my husband . He isn’t the same guy he was back then and I vowed for better or for worse . Juan and I talked and as far as talks go , we had a hectic talk . The first thing he told me was that ; He didn’t want to leave me and he wanted to stay and be there for me , but he got a call from his agent telling him that they had to leave immediately and go to some hotel in Italy for a residency spot. The money was good and it was way too important to pass up . As soon as they arrived they hit the ground running. A year later her realized that he was part of a cover up organized by Angelo .On the day Jake died he&nb
Chapter 29AngeloI stood steady and slid the knife underneath the scarf and ripped it . Cleo was in freeze mode and the last thing I wanted to do was scare her .Juan was working with my father and I didn't want him listening in on my conversations with Cleo . The scarf Cleo was wearing , was bugged . I knew it because my father had given me a similar one as a gift for Christmas and I had Carl scan it for safety sake and it had a tracker and a small microphone hidden in the embroidery .I opened the window to throw it out not letting go of Cleo I retracted my blade from the pocket knife and put it back in my pocket. Cleo was about to scream when I kissed her muffling the sound . I kissed her hard at first ; then went soft . She kissed me back wrapping her legs around my waist . When I held her close and hugged her she hugged me back . All I could do was cry on her shoulder ." I am so sorry babe."
CleoSince I've started working for Luca Corp ; I have been one busy body . The parties they have are very elaborate and they make a statement big or small they know how to entertain . Besides being head of PR and Marketing communications , logistics and shipping I have had a really busy couple of months even working remotely . The three days that I had with Juan took a lot out of me emotionally and mentally. To an extent I was starting to feel the physical effects .When Angelo and I had lunch at the main house, he wasn't warm toward Juan. There were instances where he wouldn't curl his fist underneath the table so hard that you could see his knuckles go white . I had to hold his hand for the duration of the lunch because we were having a conversation about when Juan and me used to go out. If there is one thing I know about Angelo is that; he has
Chapter 31AngeloI was busy giving Cleo an earful with my back turned to her because I was so livid and the rage within me was somehow fueld by the fact that she lied to me and said that she was well last night when she wasn't .I had heard the door open and close and I knew who it was." How could you do what you did knowing my history?... Cleo I asked you a question."There was a long pause and when I turned around to look at Cleo she wasn't there . Daniel walked in and spoke;"Massa hey who are you talking to ?""Cleo we were in a middle of an argument. Did you know about the pills? "I pointed to the table where I threw all of the bottles of pills."Where is my sister ?""You're not answering my question."Daniel
32CleoIf there is one place that I hate being in it is the hospital. More specifically a trip to the hospital caused by a preventable incident that would have resulted in both my husband and my brother talking out an issue that was meant to be discussed instead of fighting with each other and almost killing one another in the process. I get that they are brother's but; what In the name of Brotherhood is going on with theses two?I was in the hospital trying not to lose my cool because , my body was still in a state of weakness. I was sitting in Daniel's office and he thought that it was best for me to wait there instead of the waiting room for any news on Angelo.Daniel had pulled a number on him and he was in the O.R. My heart was still hurting I had dosed off on the couch in Daniel's office only to be woken up by bellowing voices . I flashed back to the time Ange
