Chapter 73
AngeloCleo 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
Chapter 79AngeloI opened the house door and banged it. I was angry and the reason for the the anger was because I didn't feel like facing what I was feeling. I know it was unfair to Cleo and seeing that it was late and she was probably tired , I didn't want to add to the stress she already had.I drove out to the restaurant that I used to own ; I knew that they were open twenty four seven and as much as I wanted to drink and numb the pain I was feeling I couldn't . The last memories I have of this town were sad . I thought I had lost the love of my life. Coming to terms with what happened on my birthday four years ago was the hardest thing I have ever had to do .Cleo had organised a birthday party for me and had invited everyone who was family , except for my extended family who is causing major trouble at the moment . I
Chapter 80 Cleo There are some things husband's shouldn't know . I have been with Angelo for the past four years, and I don't want him knowing what I do with my money. When we drew up the pre nuptial agreement we both had an agreement that the only thing that should be shared are the kid's accounts and the trust funds . We both haven't had any problems until he decided to tell Carl, to look into my finances . I called Carl out and he came clean. I don't want my fights with Angelo to revolve around finances. I was smart with the money I had and over the years it grew . When I found out about Matteo selling everything to do with Massa at less than its Market value I didn't pay any attention , until Bryan called me to ask me what the hell was going on? He was in a state initially and by the time I got him to calm down , I got my lawyers look into the mess that Matteo had created , because peo
Chapter 81AngeloEmma is the closest person I have to a mother and looking back over the years she has been my go to person when I needed to make sense of what I was feeling and how I needed to communicate in such a way that I don't hurt the ones I love . I knew that the restaurant had a hectic morning rush , so after making breakfast for the kids and Cleo , I packed everything and started helping out with baking cupcakes, flapjacks, muffins, and prepping the different kinds of fruits for smoothies.I for some sort of odd was missing my wife a s with good reason because we cook together and work as a team . I didn't sleep at all last night and this morning I was sorting myself out and I didn't want to hurt Cleo by being too blunt instead of being sensitive to her feelings . I really love her and I do believe that what we have is worth more than its weight than tonnes of gold and platinum.By t
