Chapter 76
Cleo
There 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
Chapter 82CleoI have had a hectic night and a hectic morning. If there is one thing I like about Angelo walking out during a fight , it is the fact that he is deliberate in his actions. In the life span of our relationship he has never not come home after a fight and this was the first time we had a fight and he didn’t come home at all last night.The thunderstorm we had the night before and I’m not talking about the war of words we had about buying something he didn’t know about , with my own money and not his .When the kids notice his absence , because I feel like he didn’t come home last night deliberately; that’s when I start to worry. Ava didn’t notice but our four year old twins did and our son in particular has issues with his own father . He struggles to forgive if he feels like he has been
Chapter 83AngeloI value moments I get to spend with my family. As possessive as I may seem I just want them to be with me and only me . I am having an investigation done on Carl too and I could see that it killed Cleo to have our friend investigated . You can never be too careful . What Matteo did to the Massa empire was heartless and ruthless . Cleo on the other had has a great legal team. For the fact that she can own a town and not have anyone know about it is nothing short of wild ; crazy , mind blowing , but above all heroic . I married superwoman . I know so because she puts others before herself. I tend to shoot from the hip and stick to my gunsWhen Cleo went upstairs to go get cleaned up with Ava . I got the twins to go get a bath and change. In return I promised them access to the house WIFI when Cleo sets it up and that; they could use my
Chapter 84CleoI have never suspected Carlo for any wrong doing and apart from the fact that he was once Clara's boyfriend who messed up , he has always been one of the good guys. I know that; it's killing Angelo that I am suspecting one of his best friend's who he knew from diaper days of being disloyal.Daniel gave him some time off , he told Carl he works too hard and that he had some time off . With the many resorts Luca corp owns he sent him; Brent , Clara and all their adorable children to one out of the country.The one in Zanzibar Tanzania to be exact. I don't know how Brent can be adult enough to understand that Carl and Clara share a child and being jealous will only result in unwanted tension . They have managed to make it work and Carl is going out with Amy; the doctor who loves to stitch him up in more ways than one ,
