Chapter 70
Cleo
I have a stubborn streak and it can sometimes land me in big trouble , but sometimes being stubborn and not listening to what you are told not to do can work in your favour, even though you still get hurt. You will lick your wounds after you have learnt your lesson, but if curiosity might have killed the cat , then being a as stubborn as mule got the mule what it wanted .
In this case I'm not the mule ,and something about the doctor Angelo lost his composure at seemed too prejudice and malicious in a racist kind of way .
The Luca private wind was designed similar to the one that the Massa's had in Johannesburg. Part of me wished that they had taken my baby girl to a normal private hospital , even one that had a Massa wing was okay with me , because there was something about the Luca's that I didn't trust. Experience has taught me that they would say one thing and then later
Chapter 71 Angelo What my father said to Cleo before she left played at the back by of mind . She needed to tell me what's she was keeping from me . I hate having secrets being kept from me . Cleoknew how to deflect when it came to her not telling me what she was supposed to tell me . Part of me felt like she did not want to tell me yet because I had a lot on my plate . I had a virtual meeting with Aaron and Juan in the home office with Cleo included and Juan asked Cleo; how she managed to keep ahead of him with regards to planning and she just smilled a him . Cleo had her mother come in with watching the kids before while we decided to cook together . She knew I was going to bring up what my father said sooner or later. I wanted to order food so that I can have her all to myself with. The kids were safe and they were watching a movie with their g
Chapter 72 CleoI don't think I can keep big secrets or stay quiet about something that's bothering me for long periods of time. Keeping secrets sometimes feels like a ticking time bomb that's about to explode, and cause devastation .I knew I was keeping something serious from Angelo and I knew it before he saved me from Matteo and Salvatore went down a path that ended up fatal for him . I wasn't talking to Daniel because he was out working and Romano knew something wasn't okay at the funeral . He managed to get me alone when Angelo was bringing the car around. He is as sharp as a whip in figuring out anything , especially when it concerns his family and either one of his son's well-being.When Romano passed the comment about me really loving his son I knew it was a heavy handed and loaded question . It was heavy handed because it was something I was avoiding and it was serious and to be confronted about it only m
Chapter 73AngeloCleo is mad at me.I know this because; she won't talk to and me and she's been giving me the cold shoulder since I talked about Arabella. I didn't mean to make her this angry , but she has a passive aggressive demeanor that can peak out it's head at the worst of times . My dad and Cleo's mother were in the house taking care of the twins and Ava . I had seen the glass milk bottles in the warmer,but I didn't notice the ones in the fridge.I know that I shouldn't have mentioned or brought up Arabella during quality time ,but I did and it was a big mistake. My dad was also too busy with the kids when I left to even notice that something didn't seem right between Cleo and me. When I arrived at work I called Cleo and all my calls were sent straight to voicemail. During the day her Phone just rang and she didn't answer it at all . When I went upstairs with lunch , I didn't find her or Gavin her stran
Chapter 74CleoThere is an Italian proverb that I like; "He who finds a friend has found a treasure"It didn't make sense to me until I became good friends with Carlo . He had always been friendly towards me and has proven to be a reliable friend and now bodyguard because Angelo doesn't trust me to come back home since I took an impromptu trip to Johannesburg . I can't dead with my feelings directly and tell someone what's going on in my head and my heart , I need time to process what I'm feeling and why .Keeping secrets from Angelo was never a thing , but keeping this secret has just made me more sad that I have to tell him the truth and risk possibly losing him to a woman that ; to be honest appeared to be friendly but turned out to be as sneaky as a lizard. They say you can never tell when a sneak attack is coming your way , you can only hope that when the blow is dealt you can remedy
Chapter 75 If I was Cleo I would have already left me by now . I know I messed up when I slept with my ex, but I think Arabella is fibbing through her teeth about me sleeping with her without protection . I went through the footage . I was sitting beside a sleeping Cleo , and we were not at the beach house property with the landing strip . We were attacked by someone who works for Matteo . Cleo had a severe panic attack and with good reason. She has been a through hell and back and it's affected her very badly. The past couple of nights she has been waking up in a cold sweat rapidly breathing thinking that she is still being captured at the villa. The past couple of nights she has been waking up and not coming to bed at all. We weren't talking to each other and I now understood why she was being cold towards me all weekend. I was going through the footage Carl sent me and as predicted I was right. I used p
Chapter 76CleoThere was a point in my life where the only thing I had to worry about was what I had to do to prepare for work the next day . I knew that I had to make sure that everything was in order , and that I could control any situation no matter the outcome because I had contingency plans in place.I knew that no matter the size of the curve ball ; I was going to be able to counter the attack . The past few days have proven one thing and one thing only , I don't have any control and therefore I always need to be on the look out for anything that might seem odd or suspicious, and I have to constantly look over my shoulder because of the recent threats that the family I work for has recieved from another family who's surname I carry. I don't like being caught in the middle.Apart from the fact that I was packing my bags for the second time this week, I was fighting with my husband a
Chapter 77AngeloI'm usually in control of how I feel , and I have always been able to gage how Cleo feels or how moody she is . When she doesn't know how to feel and I'm struggling with my own issues internally instead of communicating what wrong , we tend to have arguments and right now I feel bad for what I just said to her and insinuated.While Cleo was recovering I went through her phone. I don't know what possessed me to do what I did, but I couldn't help myself because of recent events. I'm still angry that she left without a word an worked with her ex on a project she could have done her at home. She says I use sex as weapon against her if I'm angry , but she doesn't get the fact that her working with men she used to be intimate with is a form of rebellion and a slap across my face . I already don't like her working with Juan. He is a likable guy
Chapter 78CleoOver the years I’ve learnt to gage if something is offish ; and being with Angelo it seems like I have a knack for sensing the unusual. I get where he is coming from in terms of me being friends with my Ex’s . As if it wasn’t bad enough that I was working with Juan who was liked by everyone including ; Romano ,and mister I turn green with jealousy when any guy tries to take you away from me Angelo , I have to deal with Angelo being something he isn’t … which is being insecure in my loyalty towards him. Venting out my frustrations to Daniel has proven never to work because he is generally neutral when it comes to the arguments that Blue and I have .When I asked Angelo when Carlo was coming back; something in me had clicked . If someone like Carl has always been perfect and done things right , that
