Chapter 26 - Known secrets
Cleo I am worried. I am seriously worried because, my husband to be, just got a panic attack to the point where he blacked out . I tried to get him to wake up but he wasn't budging. I called Claudio who called Brent to come through. Angelo wasn't running a fever and he didn't complain of anything and if him passing out was a sign of something wrong; which I think it is , then we need to find the cause . The villa was thirty minutes away from the estate and losing it was not going to help. Claudio also seemed worried. Brent had come through with Clara.

She has a mental condition , but that doesn't excuse her going to extreme lengths to keep me away from her son, who wants to Mary me .
