Talking to my father in law was the best decision. I could have ever made. He didn't know that I had taken his son's last name ; and when I told him he was happy but his happiness was filled with trepidation meaning there was something I don't know that I ought to know ,because he told me about his extended family and the fight for the thrown . He said if anything were to happen to him I'd be caught in a war that I didn't start and what might have started out as an innocent love story between Angelo and me ; may turn out to be a tragedy because of my connections.
I have never shown anyone my client list . Even when I worked at Massa . I have only ever done PR related stuff at work and my side hustle dealt with scheduling content for clients that needed their products profiled and marketed to the right demographic.
The latest person to file in a request was not from here and I've been iffy a

AngeloFour weeks laterIf this CEO thing doesn't work out I think I will not only make a better singer ; but a great events coordinator. I had hosted Cleo's birthday party and it was pretty peaceful and perfect according to Cleo and I got rewarded for my hard work; after the morning we had on that day . Birthday sex should be everyday ... Well occassionally... Once a month on your birthdate I will make it a rule.I had a hard time convincing Cleo to come back to Massa . She was reluctant at first but I managed to get her to jump on board. The move came with her losing half her client list. That included my cousin, and a couple of associates who were Massa enemies. Word hadn't gone out that I was married to Cleo, what the press had gotten hold of was the fact that Cleo and I were an item and that's not been without its challenges. Mia started working for the compa

CleoIt has been three days since the office incident. When Angelo warned me about Mia I didn't listen. I kept her at arm's length for many reasons one of them being she has a wondering eye and once she sets her eyes on someone , she will do anything and everything to make sure they pay her attention. I think she is sick and she doesn't want to admit that she needs help. She has been slut shaming me and having me followed by one of her friends. The pictures she showed everyone were pictures that were taken in the week I noticed something offish with my email account and filing system. I had to set up new cloud account for storage and explain my filing system to her. She did what she was told my question was for how long because I wasn't taking any of her nonsense. I don't even trust her with my food and therefore I either order from Marc or go downstairs across the road to go eat my lunch , or make my own coffee in the staff kitchen .

AngeloI love Cleo and I don't like fighting with her. I knew she wasn't lying to me and going back home to an empty house at Massa just reminded me how much I have to lose if I don't make things right with Cleo. I was in bed wide awake watching her sleep .Preliminary investigations had proved that she was innocent and that she was being framed It was five in the morning and I didn't want to leave my wife but I had to go. She must have had a hectic couple of days , but she managed to do other things for a little while without me hindering her. I snuck out of bed and went to check on my little princess Ava; she was fast asleep . I then went into Cleo's study to go video call the twins . They were awake. I knew this because Daniel had sent me a text asking if waking up early at ungodly hours runs in our blood? I replied; No it in Cleo's blood . As predicted the twins were awake and Florence too. She put them within my view.They

CleoOn Sunday morning I woke up to news that my husband; who everyone thinks isn't my husband has a bit of fun after suspending me. I'm normally up at nine on a Sunday morning , but on that morning in particular I was feeling strange . Why did my husband lie to me about kissing Mia and did he just marry me for convenience sake ? I said yes to Angelo because; I saw him for who he was, a kind and gentle soul in need of saving. He had also become my best friend in the process ,and after everything we've been through I cannot believe what had just happened.In the there years I've been with Angelo ; he has never not once lifted his hand at me , we've had out ups and downs and I'm not perfect niether is he . Nancy was resting next to Ava when I went upstairs still shocked at what the hell happened I knew that the Luca estate had a tunnel system I knew about but Angelo didn't. Even Daniel didn't tell him . Dan's house wa

AngeloI have always had the fear of messing up when everything is going well? I'm always calm and sure , but I have a blind spot when it comes to Mia . Mia as the one who told me about my ex wife's infidelity, and even though I lost good friends she stuck around. She came to see me in rehab and she stood by me when I thought I wasn't worthy.In the looks department Mia is a ten. She's gone out with celebrities, men who have deeper pockets than me and some guys who just want her for control. She's single at the moment ,and she needs to find her own independence. We've never slept together but when I took her to a business dinner with Alexis and Aaron , because I knew I had messed up with Cleo; Mia was available and I couldn't rock up alone. As shocked as Aaron was to see me with Mia; I told him not to get involved. I was still angry about. Cleo seeing other men behind my back . A selfish part of me wanted to make her fell

CleoThere is nothing scarier than preparing for a disciplinary meeting for something you didn't do, that you were accused of. I was framed and I knew I was innocent but since my husband didn't believe me, and decided to have a night out with an old friend that turned out to be the same friend that was the cause of his previous marriage being torn apart, made Sunday newspaper headlines for all the wrong reasons , raised his hand at me , and scared the living daylights out of me ... I needed all the support I could get.Angelo slept in our bed yesterday and I went to the guestroom. Nancy had called me because Ava was being restless again. After calming her down I told Nancy that it was okay too to call Angelo if I'm not around and she understood . When. She asked me if I was okay I shook my head and told her that I will be fine in good time . Angelo and I were going through flames. I left for work earlier on Monday m

AngeloLast night I struggled to sleep because Cleo wasn't next to me . I miss everything about her and if having her in the other wing of the house but and her not leaving me is my punishment, then I will take what I can get . I am set in my ways and in most cases it has worked to my advantage and in this case I fucked up so badly and I am man enough to admit that.I woke up at seven ; got cleaned up, went to go check on Ava and had breakfast with her and Nancy , I was ready to leave the house at eight thirty but as soon as I was about to head out my father called me to tell me that he was on his way and that; I should move all my meetings for this morning forward or reschedule them . I totally forgot that Cleo's meeting with regards to the leak and security breach was today.My dad came through and I could tell he was angry by the way he was walking. I didn't want to give him another hea

CleoThere are times when I feel like fate has played a cruel trick on me ; that what's happened the past three years has been a dream, and that one day I will wake up and be the same Cleo I was before I met Angelo... That is just a dream .What is not a dream however is the continuous attacks I've been getting from my mother in law who seems to be using my husband's old girlfriends against me , without moving. I walked straight into a trap when I went back to work on Monday. Whoever ransacked my office and vandalized it wanted to get their message across. It had to be someone who had been around me for a while to figure me out. I was in a hospital room and I knew it wasn't a hospital either own by the Luca's or the Massa's . I took a deep breath and took in my surroundings . My body was in a bit of pain and it wasn't inflicted by my husband in a fit of rage and jealousy.Everything came back to me while I

AngeloThe most dangerous attacks are the ones you never see coming, and the ones never expected . They are brutal; unfair, selfish , and heart shattering depending on the nature of the attack. Sometimes they cause unnecessary hurt and at times any attack can leave a trail of destruction .My day started off wonderfully. I woke up next to Cleo ; and left to go meet my brother at Carlo's restaurant . It's always been a safe space to just be yourself and let go with the guys . Carl has always been a great cook and he had closed the restaurant for lunch . After lunch Luigi and I had decided to go to Massa to go sort out some paperwork. Blake had booked us a table at the new cafeteria for

Chapter 60CleoThere comes a point in life when everything just clicks and makes sense.Life has a way of reaching and optimal level ; no matter how many obstacles, challenges, uphill battles you have to fight , mistakes made , lessons learned , pages turned ,and new chapters began. There is always a chance to start again, unlearn what has been programmed and download new coding . An analogy could be a heart rate monitor when they are trying to resuscitate you or when your are are in between life, purgatory, death, or rebirth. If there is a flat line you know very well that you are not living. Life has always been a balancing act .In order to balance work and home life I schedule my messages , and if there is a conversation to be had that I can have with voice notes I do that in order to get more time with the kid's . I had been working from home the past couple of weeks and Angelo had be

AngeloI know how to keep serious stuff from my family. More than that I know how to use without anyone noticing or so I thought. On the Thursday before the dinner party I decided to get high and my drug of choice was my first drug . I needed something to get the edge off with everything that was happening and it wasn't after until Carl found me passed out on the floor with a bleeding nose. I needed to stay awake and I was operating on reserves. The moment I held Cleo close to me was the moment I stopped using.Cleo has always been sharp and she asked me last night if I was doing okay and I lied to her . This morning while I was knocked out cold thanks to her; she found the tunnel underneath the house where I kept my stash. I had instructed Nicolai to move everything to the club where I wouldn't be able to access it . When I was woken up by a crying Ava I called Nicolai to find out if he did what I asked him to do and if

CleoI don't like saying goodbye when I know I still have time to spend with family and friends, especially when I'm enjoying myself. On Saturday afternoon I had to say goodbye to Daniel ; Luigi , the fun loving and potty mouthed Salvatore , Mr Luca and my mother , and Hannah . When I reconnect with Blue and we talked over Breakfast , he wanted us to go home and that was his final decision. I knew whatever argument I would put up or point I'd try to make clear the result would be the same . He wanted time with me alone with the kid's without any interference from other people.By Saturday evening we had arrived back at the house at the Massa estate. I started missing the house by the forest and I wanted to go there instead of the Estate. Angelo had other plans. It wasn't as cold as the coast in Gauteng . Infact it was a bit warmer . I didn't think I'd miss the city as much as I did. The air was thick and the

AngeloI don't know how to manage my and and it's becoming apparent that I need help . Given what I had gone through and what was happening my anger was warranted. First my wife goes missing a day after our wedding , I track down the first person who I think I know is responsible, only to find out that she had planned to take my wife and kids away from me but she failed, resulting in me and my men going on a wild goose chase looking for my wife. My kids too were starting to miss her , to the point where I had to work from home . Only to find out that Cleo was safe and sound at the Luca beach resort and Daniel kept her away from me .I found out after dinner on Friday with the Kids and the family. The twins were calmer and my baby girl wasn't crying at a drop of a hat . Pio mentioned that her mother was around and Pia affirmed it and told me they made, get well soon cards and they went s

CleoI love the changing of seasons ; more than that I love the fact that it's September and it's almost spring. I mean almost because spring officially starts on the twenty second of September not the first . Angelo always argued with me and he was insistent on the fact that the first was Spring day. I really miss Angelo I really do . Apart from the fact that I can't contact him yet I have to play the waiting game.When Daniel asked me if I wanted a divorce . I said ; no. I fell in love with Angelo the very first time I saw him at the food market. I knew then that if our paths were to cross again , I would let nature take its course. Three years later and three beautiful kids later nature did what it was meant to do or should I say fate and

AngeloOn the day I was supposed to have a boys night out I had an uninvited guest who even pissed me off to the point where I almost drank . I used to be so trusting until what happened with Mia happened. She blames Rosa for what she did to Cleo and for causing the explosion. I have never seen her as my girlfriend ... I have only ever seen her as a sister and a dear friend. For her to do something so sinister ,and to the mother of my Children was just unforgivable .The weekend came and went with my state of melancholy and it got worse when I arrived at work. The communications department was still under reconstruction and I had instructed the builders to rebuild Cleo's office and to make it look different than it did before with all the safety features like; bullet proof glass , her own kitchen , bathroom and lunch room including an elevator that went straight to my office . As soon as I arrived ; there was a gentleman waitin

CleoThe past two weeks have been a blessing. After thinking that I had been abducted by Rosa, it turned out that my brother was behind the whole incident.Daniel has been unavailable and Salvatore has been keeping an eye on me . The beach house property was big enough and apart from the amazing ocean view I had from my room , my kids were with me but it came at a cost. I couldn't call Angelo to tell him anything and all I hoped was that he uses his brain and figures out that something just doesn't add up. Rosa was easy to track down; she always left bread crumbs . Her attack style has a trait... She wants to scare me to the point where I am afraid of being with my husband to point where I break up with him for the safety of my children. She even used Mia to make me doubt choosing Blue . She didn't know we were married until Angelo opened his big mouth and she amped up the threats . I am at peace for a change.

AngeloThe past couple of weeks have been hard on me and it's not because the weather has changed from cooler temperatures to warmer weather. It's the first week of spring but knowing Cleo like I do she'd say ; " Spring only starts on the twenty second of September ."Part of me always knew that she was correct because it was; wet cold , cloudy and grey on the first of September. The weather matched my mood and the way I was feeling. The twins and my baby girl are the only reason I get up in the morning. I had used all of the resources I had to track down Rosa and she said she wasn't responsible for Cleo being abducted. I have never lost my cool at an old person however; I had lost my cool at Rosa , breaking windows and furniture till she gave me an answer.Truth be told I was hurting and she didn't understand the extent of how hacked and broken I felt. Daniel was around and Luigi was stay
