Chapter 29
Angelo
I 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
Chapter 33AngeloI don’t like fighting with Daniel he is my brother and my wife’s half brother . I haven’t told Cleo the truth about what went down between me and Arabella . The reason I arrived later than expected was because we got into a bit of a situation that resulted in be ending up in bed with Arabella . I was high and for the first time in a long time I felt so good behaving badly. I behaved out of character and now it’s starting to catch up with me in the worst of ways . I don’t even know if my encounter with Arabella was caught on tape because she has always been an exhibitionist . I should have never went to the club I should have just called it a night and flew down to Cape Town . I told Cleo that I got high But what I didn’t tell her was that I had a really steamy session with my ex and her brother caught me out
Chapter 34CleoA couple of weeks laterI can love you without hesitation and give you all of me withholding nothing . I can also leave you and take everything I have if you betray me in any way because; once I say I do , I really mean it . I take love seriously and no matter how much I want to believe that I am lucky in love , I almost seem to come up short. I sometimes think that I am cursed to have every guy that I love cheat on me with their exes.I always break my heart to save guys that everyone has written off. I see them for who they really are and not for once doubt that they have a big heart and goodness inside of them… They are just misunderstood and what people perceive as cold and heartless is actually a defense mechanism.I am at a point where I am doubting the people around me and what’s worse is that I am doubting
Chapter 35AngeloIt's been a hectic couple of weeks and by that I mean ; I just realised the amount of power and influence I have in different parts of the country. I now know why they wanted both me and my twin brother dead , it had to do with control and territory. Being both a Massa and a Luca I was always a threat and ,apart from the fact that my uncle left Cleo the property with the landing strip we run every city and town.When I woke up and Cleo wasn't by my side, I knew that I had more than messed up with what I did . I take full responsibility and I want to try and fix my fuck up. I ruined a perfectly good woman by taking advantage of her love for me. I lied yes but don't want anyone else I want her and our family back together.Nicolai has always been loyal to me and we go way back . When Daniel told me about Cleo leaving I didn't hesitate tell him to track her down b
chapter 36 CleoI didn't see the car coming all I know is that I am in pain and my baby girl is screaming. I had just walked out of an argument I had with Angelo and Pia was running towards the street chasing a ball . The moment I called at her she stopped and looked at me and pointed at her red ball. I told her to stop but she didn't listen I tried to catch up with her but she was too fast when the ball hit the car , I ran as fast as I could to get Pia out of the way . I managed to push her out of the way making her land on the lawn by our neighbours house , but the driver ended up crashing into me .All I remember was getting hit and landing onto the cars screen . When the car stooped abruptly I ended up landing on the ground face up . For a moment my whole life flashed before my eyes and that included the past five years with Angelo and the kids . All I could hear was the ball bouncing. I was about to give
Chapter 37AngeloFour weeks laterThe past couple of weeks have been hectic , to the point where I don’t know if I am coming or going . A week before the twins birthday after I tracked down Cleo ; I found out that Cleo had seen a lawyer with regards to filing for separation. I wasn’t having it .I finally found someone who loves me no matter what shape I take or condition that I am in, and in true Michelangelo style; I go and cock everything up . I used to never feel bad for cheating because the problem was with me but , but right now the problem was with me and my hormones , or better yet my inability to exercise self control . I wasn’t completely honest when I told the whole story . I didn’t miss Arabella in fact the only thing I was thinking about when I was fucking and not making love to Arabella, was Cleo. I was horny and high which was a bad combination . I made a mistake that not only hurt my family
