Chapter 93
Angelo
There 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
Chapter 98CleoRomano Luca had always been a man who gets what he wants at any cost , I know this for a fact because he has proven that he will move hell and high water and high water to get what he wants and that includes being emotionally manipulative .I want to so believe that he means we'll ,and I did see fragments of humanity in him these past few weeks.Angelo and I didn't celebrate our wedding anniversary. He was kept in hospital for a little while longer and Romano had booked us a hotel floor near the hospital , for the duration of the time . I couldn't put the twins through a lot and I also didn't want them to feel out of sorts. Angelo and Daniel knew what was going on except for Romano.I played along with his request to avoid Emma . He didn't know that I knew the truth . Angelo couldn't talk but we texted each other every hour and he was slowly starting to speak . I was just counting down the da
Chapter 99AngeloI have been in relationships before where the order of the day was a glass full of secrets every day. The shift that takes place when you have realised that you have found your better half is almost cosmic. Carl was right about Cleo ; she is one of the smartest girlfriend’s I have and she was and always will be a keeper . After I made love to Cleo yesterday ; I noticed that she was way paler than the last time I saw her.I blamed the weather because it was frigid outside . The one thing you can be sure of in August in South Africa ; is the gusts of wind and cold fronts that continuously blow throughout the month , and since we are in the east coast , any cold front that passes , is accompanied with cold and wet weather .I discharged myself from the hospital because I was feeling okay and I really couldn’t take one more night
Chapter 100CleoI love catch up sessions with Angelo . I missed him so much that I was going crazy . He surprised me when he came back home to me from the hospital a couple of days before he was going to be discharged . When the kids came back he went to go meet them at the door . If there is a moment I want to live again it's the moment I saw Angelo with the kids . He is a great father and he pays attention to the kids, Ava included ; she didn't recognise him because he had cut his hair .His gorgeous hair was gone but he looked even more handsome . The hair cut was cool his locks were cut shorter and his curls were dark brown and unruly. I don't know what had changed with Angelo while he was in hospital but he was a different man . I was feeling tired after breakfast and after packing Ava and Pia's clothes I hit lights bout with
Chapter 101AngeloThere are many things you discover when you find out that you have a twin . I lean a lot from my own twins Pio and Pia who I love with my whole heart . They have an unspeakable connection ,one knows when the other is trouble and they get up to the same kind of trouble and they get punished the same. I took the car and drove down to my mother’s house .I have a mother … it sound strange to say ; but my mother has been alive all this time and I feel thankful and angry at the same time. I have lost so much time with her and for the fact that Daniel called Cleo to tell her that ; my mother wasn’t okay and the look on Cleo’s face spelling trouble , my heart sank . I just found out that my mother had been alive all this time , I cannot lose her it will be an unfair card dealt by fate . I pulled up the driveway and parked the car nearer the gate. I stepped out and ran to the house . I knocked once and I knocked twice an
