Chapter 89
Angelo
Cleo has a habit of keeping stuff from me if she is angry with me . I asked her yesterday about her fainting spell and she just told me that it was her iron levels, they were low and she was tired. I knew she was Keeping something from me, and with Daniel and Ellie being around I was going to get a bit more time to get the truth our of her . She had made a lot of alterations to the property and that included the secluded cabin which was huge. I was crying about my man cave but Cleo's "hide out " was more swanky than my space .
The banister was a slide and the house was kid proofed especially the area around the stairs . Pio had gone to Daniel to explain what happened and I slid downstairs to where Cleo had landed. She had hit lights out and I was trying to get her to come around . She opened her eyes and sat up slowly . I sat beside her and she looked worried.
" Pio?"
" No hone
Chapter 90CleoI looked at at Angelo's concerned face not wanting him to get worried because; if he got worried he'd push until he got an answer , and if he was not satisfied with the response he'd push some more, until he was adamant that it was the answer that he wanted .There are times when I can usually get away with a lot in and he'd be oblivious to the fact that I was going through the most as a mother and as his wife . Being a mother to three kids is hard enough but with the kids being homeschooled and Romano hiring nannies to help out when everyone was busy didn't sit well with me . You don't know who to trust , and you don't know what energy other people bring around your kids and I'm very very picky when it comes to who the kids can be around .I had spoken to Romano and he had; recieved, reviewed , and reacted to what I had put on the table
Chapter 91AngeloI've never kept stuff from my wife; but lately I have been feeling guilty about not telling her a lot of things and I know it's unfair to her, but she deserves to know the truth and I'm going to change keeping things under wraps because she deserves to know what's good on..I don't know how she does it but she sensed that I wasn't being completely transparent with most of the things. Salvatore is gone and it was a direct threat and promise followed by a faction of the Massa family . I knew who manufactured the drugs and Salvatore was at the wrong place and time. He had nothing and no one to blame but himself for his own behaviour and what happened. He had a chances to change but he ended up not taking them. I'm still mad at him for doing what he did . I've lost a lot already and I don't think I can handle losing anymore friends or family.
Chapter 92CleoI don't like making promises I can't keep when it comes to the kids . It may look like I don't want them around ; but I do and I am more worried about them hour back to the West Coast for the next couple of months and only seeing me during the weekend. I didn't want to believe that Carl was actually working for the enemy... But they were family. If Angelo and Luigi are half Luca and Massa how do you know who belongs where , in terms of security personnel.My mind is still spinning and I'm trying my best to make sense of what he had told me yesterday ... My body was feeling the effects of what happened yesterday afternoon and early evening . I had to sort out a couple of things for work and since Angelo had taken some time off , he was busy with the kids. As predicted Max had come through in the evening while Ellie was keeping me company and helping me out with a schedul
Chapter 93AngeloThere are rare occasions when ;Cleo is so tired that she sleeps in . My father was coming through to town today but I knew that his visit had to do with Carl and how best to resolve the problem that we found ourselves in. Carl has been like a bother to me and he has supported me through the worst . Hell he even went as far as convincing. Cleo to take me back for the sake of out family and our marriage.Cleo was right something didn't add up , I know Carl like the back of my hand and for someone who's taken a bullet for me on more than one occasion, sacrificed their relationships just to show up for me when he had dates , do side jobs, favours and save my life ... It just didn't seem like him . I needed to get clarification as to what was going on and the only way to do it was to call him . I knew how to do it without him tracing where I was. Even Daniel was thrown off when
Chapter 94CleoAngel has always been the strong one in our relationship and he always keeps fit ; eats healthy and even though I jog to keep healthy , he is usually in the home gym getting fit or running around with the kids .He didn't look too well when when he drove us home on Saturday . He had ordered dinner and I had ordered dessert to go . When I felt his forehead in the car he felt too hot and I suspected it had to do with his throat. His voice was more raspy and hoarse than usual and he really did look a bit sick. When. I was playing dinner. I had initially thought of making him some chicken soup for his sore throat and we could have the dinner we missed for breakfast when he was feeling a bit better. I seriously didn't mind eating chicken soup for dinner with him , as long as I was with him I was happy .When he came back downstairs I poured him a glass of non alcoholic wine in a whiskey glass . I though
Chapter 95AngeloI've always had throat problems and I thought nothing of them . I've always treated my ailments with homemade remedies that have always seemed to work . My throat was sore for the whole week before it started giving me problems. It didn't have to do with the good loving Cleo had given me the day before my own body decided that it was okay to betray me , and then attack me .I was pretty sure that we were going to make love when I hit lights out and now I don't know where the hell I am or what's going on . It was safe to say that I was in limbo become it felt like I wasn't in my own body and I was having a dream or memory . I promised myself never to forget Cleo even if I could lose all sense of recall my heart will remember her because what we have is magic .I was flashing back to the the time I knew that I wanted Cleo for keeps.
Chapter 96CleoThe past week has been hectic . Apart from the fact that Daniel was staying at home to help out with the twins and Romano and I had a really honest talk , I've been in and out of hospital on a daily basis ; checking up on Blue . They had to remove his tonsils and thank goodness they didn't give him the wrong medication.Maxwell and Ellie had to drive back home because they had life to get back to . I thanked Ellie for her help and she told me that it was nothing compared to what she owed me because I had been a supportive friend to her and she was just returning the favour. Juan's family lived down the road from us and he decided to spend time with his mother and work .He actually didn't get why I was fat ahead with regards to my work schedule until he worked with Ellie who was on the same wavelength as me with regards to execution and work ethic. I don't play around when it comes to getting work done and delivering on a plan that was set
Chapter 97AngeloI've been through and it seems like everytime Cleo and I reach a point where we find peace the scales are tipped and not in a good way . When my heart started beating fast after Cleo signed back to me that she loved me too , I was happy intact I was too happy that she cried with me . I was doing fine and it was actually the machine I was hooked on to that was going crazy .The doctors had asked Cleo to step out and she did what she was told and waited outside. I was feeling a bit weak and if I could I would have already gotten up to go give her a hug and assure her that I was fine and that she didn't need to worry I was recovering and sooner or later I will be arguing with her like we used to. Our anniversary had already passed on the 14th of of August . I didn't even get to give her the gift I bought her .The dinner the never happened was an important dinner . I was going to tell Cleo that I ha
