Chapter 106
Cleo
Last night Angelo came to bed late. I was still tired given the events of the day before; I was really worried about the twins . They needed to go out a bit more and play with other kids ; go to school and make friends. They would be going back to Cape Town but Romano agreed not to let them go back with him on condition Angelo does what he agreed to do , which was ; homeschooling the kids and making sure they were protected.
Yesterday Angelo managed to get Pio to open his bedroom door . Compared to Pia it is a mission to get Pio to open up and trust because he doesn't trust easily.
He was afraid of what Angelo was going to say and Angelo was worried that Pio might not trust him again because he didn't make it for the last three dates that they had . He was in hospital recovering .
The one thing I know about m
Hey cupcakes đ§ Thank you so much for reading . I have another flashback ; and this time it's linked to the first book . The last time Angelo attacked Cleo with this much anger was when he left her alone , and pregnant and he got drugged. This time he wasn't drugged or drunk...
Chapter 107AngeloMy battle with regards to addiction was never easy I've done soft; medium, and hard drugs before and ,when I got clean I swore to myself that I would never allow myself to be a slave to any substance or drug . I remembered the I attacked Cleo when Jane drugged me. Cleo has a habit of keeping things from me for fear of hurting me .I have a dark past and I haven't had any nightmares of killing her . The only nightmares I've had are of people that I've killed killing her and that scares me. It scares me to the point where I would take out anyone who threatens her life.Yesterday morning I woke up next to her . We didn't have enough sleep but she was able to wake up and not leave me to wake up alone like she usually did. It was a great feeling to wake up next to my wife for a change. You could swear that Daniel and Cleo have a built in alarm clocks that make
Chapter 108CleoI'm not as tough as I appear to be and I don't have it all together and all sussed out . It took me a while to wrap my head around a lot of things that have been going on and what I've been through in the past four years .I thought I met the man of my dreams . Angelo ticked all the boxes and some . Even though our relationship wasn't perfect; it was perfect to me in our own way. I didn't know who saved my life the night Duncan tried to kill me, and I didn't know the very same person who had saved my life had always been connected to some of the saddest moments of my life in a strange way .I have thought of leaving Angelo . If I was the old me with no strings attached; I would have already left him, and found the next love of my life ,had amazing sex and a relationship that was drama free. Truth is there are no drama free relatio
Chapter 109AngeloI think I am programmed to ruin everything that's good . I think that's the reason why dream's come true don't happen for me . Doctor Baker had told me about the side effects of the medication they gave me, I didn't listen to him when he said I could go back home the following week after they were sure that ;I was okay and I wasn't going to have violent episodes .Given my history ; I love to burry feelings I don't want to confront because I associate any expression of feelings with drama . Cleo changed how I saw things and now that she has been gone for a week without a trace after I attacked her in a trans. I'm fine now I swear I'm okay . I also followed doctors orders .I want a chance to explain to Cleo that I wasn't going to kill her . On the day she left she was going shopping with Pia . She came back with my dad three days ago
Chapter 110CleoI could never hate Angelo. He has been both a dream come true and a nightmare turned into a beautiful dream too . Although Angelo is a Taurus with Aires moon rising , and I'm a cancerian with Libra moon rising , we've always found a way to make things work . I just can't get over what happened when I called Pia. I've never let my baby girl down and it hurt me to the core when she said what she said to me.A week after I found out that Juan was my neighbour ; I made him swear not to tell Romano where I was or anyone for that matter. I just wanted to breathe and then go back home . He said he would do it only of he could call Amy ; Carlo's girlfriend who by no means is a snitch to come and look at me assess me and fix me up . I was reluctant at first but I ended up agreeing to what he had suggested . I had promised Pia that I was coming home .When Amy checked me out she was surprised that ; I was cleaned
Chapter 111AngeloI'm thankful and very excited that Cleo is coming back home . I had to accept that I had no control over what had happened and my father had helped me see things the way Cleo did . She was afraid and she is still afraid of being with me after the incident because I had a history of violent behaviour.I miss her and talking to her this morning was good . We sort of sorted out our differences ...not that we had any ... I was still wondering who she was talking to ,or who was busy making something the background .I wanted to pick something up for her and the kids at the diner . I knew Ryan was there with Pio and my son needed to come home . He too missed Cleo but it was Friday and we had a date . Meeting to be exact and I hadn't seen him for the past three days . He also didn't know that his mother was coming back home .I placed an order and while my order was
Chapter 112 Cleo I have come to the conclusion that my child are psychic and they have the sixth sense. I didn't feel well for the past couple of days. When Amy decided to play phlebotomist and draw my blood out for testing , I wasn't worried in fact she asked me why I was pale and what have I been eating lately. I want to believe that; the bouts of nausea were caused by something else and not because , I suspect I am pregnant or the twins who seem to be aware and all knowing think I have a baby inside my tummy . Yesterday after lunch Pia and I finished decorating her room and it looked stunning . The stickers we bought were able to come off if we decided to change things up , but I loved what we came up with . Pio seemed to be accepting of me going away . I don't think he missed me at all . I was waiting for my blood work results and funny enough Amy had called yesterday to tell me that ; She would come through tomorrow morning to talk to me . When she asked about m
Chapter 113AngeloI've had countless pillow talk sessions with Cleo and for the first time since I've been given the all clear I wanted to wake up before her so that she didn't sneak out of bed . When we finally got talking I got to know more about her and her having the same procedure I had when she was in primary school.One of the things I've always loved about her is that she has always taken whatever is thrown at her and made the best of a terrible situation . She looked at the twins all confused when they claimed she was pregnant . When she explained them that; she isn't they disputed her , arguing with four year old who appear to be clairvoyant and trust me they are , can be very challenging if you don't have experience. They believe in physical evidence to prove what is said .This morning I had one of the coolest pillow talk sessions with my wife; I had just stepped out to run a Bath for us and something felt off . I couldn't q
Chapter 114CleoI've come to the conclusion that ; "acceptance isn't the end of the grieving process . It is the ones who are living, a and left behind; that have to deal with the fact that they have lost something that cannot be replaced ,and they want it back . Just when I'm dealing with my brother in law's suicide , that was investigated and ruled as a suicide... I have to deal with losing my third child with my husband .Angelo wasn't there when our first two babies died...and that left him feeling guilty because he had to learn to let go and come to terms with not being there when the unthinkable happened . This loss however happened when he was present and it happened after a misunderstanding that gave our marriage bit more character and depth .They say that ;when the one thing you've always been afraid of happens to you , you are not afraid of it happening again. Death however is a different kind of monster especially 
Chapter 396AngeloI love planning things,right down to the last detail and with everything that's been going on I feel as if I didn't plan this probably because I didn't plan this probably I decided to just go an impromptu road trip with my wife and that was a great idea and all that now so I don't regret it because I forgot that the place that I was taking Cleo to was the same place that I had Seen someone that I thought I could trust a long time ago. I just remembered when I was alerted by security that someone I knew was in the premises I thought nothing of it until Cleopatra alerted me to the fact that something might be actually wrong and something was in actual fact wrong because she had a feeling that she wasn't alone in the house but she brushed it off like many other feelings she has when she is with me and I don't wa
Chapter 395 Cleo While having dinner with my guy and you're how I realized something I realized that he is a scared as I am of losing me as I was scared of losing him to someone I knew him better than I did and the fact of the matter is we knew each other and you that we wanted to be with each other so at a point where we're sitting opposite each other trying to figure out what could make a relationship break and how best to spend time with each other I'm just saying for that I have the relationship that I have with him because our relationship has been one for the books and to be honest we've been through so much in a short space of time that we just needed a breather and I'm just thankful that he decided to do what he did because he's normally a guy who normally plans and executes without fail. Dinner with Michelangelo without a doubt was amazing and it was awesome we got the chance to talk and figure out what we needed to in terms of our work situation he doesn't want me wor
Chapter 394 Angelo There are times when you question the decisions that you've made and there are days when you understand why you made the decisions that you made, some decisions that you made were made in difficult circumstances,and some of the decisions that you made in terms of desperation actually turned out to be the best decisions you've made ,but there are some decisions that you need to take your time and making and that's the decision that you always want to make when you or choosing the person you want to get married to.I for one don't think that I was going to be married to a woman like Cleopatra and the more I think about it the more I see how our stars were aligned and everything was working in our favor. If this afternoon has anything to go by I just can't wait for tonight. I was busy preparing dinner when I received a call from Carlo . The phone I was using wasn't easily trackable and the signal on the side was jammed with regards to the tracking devices that we
Chapter 393Cleo I think I've gotten good at some things while I was handling life With Angelo and the kids. hiding stuff and bookkeeping stuff secret has never been easier but it's never easy when you've got to hide things from the person that you love it's not personal things that you have to hide its work things that you have to hide and sometimes the personal stuff takes the back burner but today was a bit different because I was talking to the kids and enjoying myself with Michelangelo and not eating and not eating his favorite fish paste sandwich. I've been through a lot with Michelangelo. I just need to take stock of what has happened so far with him and how marriage has been. I'm not like you. The first couple of years of our marriage were hectic. I find myself going to sleep asking myself why I get married to such a man and why the hell I get married to a man that I don't even know but then again the universe works with you and not against you, and there also has to be a r
Chapter 392 Angelo I'm not good with planning surprises in fact I am the worst at planning surprises because Cleopatra is the one who knows how to keep things from me and she knows how to keep things from me and such a way that I don't go searching because once I start searching I will not stop but in her case I can see why she has been feeling the way she's been feeling because I've been neglecting her emotional needs as practical as I can be I need to be the same way when it comes to my emotions and throwing motion towards the people that matter to me and had been a really long week and make that a couple of days because from the time that I decided that it was okay to take a road trip I decided that it was also okay not to go home for a little while because I needed some time to myself and I needed some time with my wife alone without any disturbances without any people telling me that I can't do this I can't do that or without any deadlines I know that the company is in good han
Chapter 391 Cleo Michelangelo tends to brood a lot and when you ask the question I know that he has given it a lot of thought and it's something that's bothering him , since he is a practical man feelings equate to actions so he would ruin his actions rather than feelings that he's feeling something and he is under the impression that I only married him because I had to because he had ask me a question if I ever regret marrying him and truth be told I don't regret marrying him but he doesn't see it that way and I'm glad that we have this break so that I could tell him that I get him and that I'm trying to find a better way to communicate with him and tell him that he has nothing to worry about . I don't regret marrying my husband and wife I'm actually thankful that I married my husband because he is good for me in more ways than one I could be having a bad day and then I see his face and everything else that was going on about my bad day , would evaporate, because I would see his
Chapter 390 Angelo I here's one thing I know it's that Cleopatra has a tendency of keeping stuff from me until I really need to know what's going on and when I do find out what's going on I sometimes wonder why was she keeping it from me in the first place I have ever heard her speaking to my mother and my mother had asked her if she had told me something that I don't know and I needed to know everything there was to know about the deal that she was mediating for the fact that knew that my uncle was in Italy but she didn't tell me why he was in Italy and that was one of the things that but me was that he couldn't just leave his company to me and then just fly away is one of those people who are accurate and they will check and fact check everything. I was just about done with breakfast when I heard Cleopatra talking to my mother and she was talking to her like she's talking to me normally and kind of thankful that they have a relationship that they can communicate properly and ta
Chapter 389 Cleo Garry is the Type of person that you don't mess with me is similar to Rosa in many ways he is like the male version of Rosa once he puts his mind on something he will see it to completion and it doesn't matter how many obstacles getting his way he will make sure that he gets what he wants at the end of the day I figured that out when I was captured because he wasn't taking no for an answer he wanted to know that Michelangelo words the surfer in a way because he didn't like him the only way I found out that he was working with his ex-wife who is now his wife which is hella confusing but makes sense and away was that; she was there to oversee everything that needed to be overseen and with regards to a lot of things that happened they happened chronologically normally things that happen at the spur of the moment like what Michelangelo decided to do happen at the spur of the moment and you understand that he is driven by emotion and feeling and he's being emotional a
Chapter 388 Angelo I understand the nature of the business that I'm in and I understand the family that I have been born into being a family that is messed up that has layers upon layers of darkness and secrets that they are keeping . I also understand that I can never be too careful and made show that I took different routes to where I was headed with my wife I know that she wanted to talk to the kids but I told her that it would be two days but now it's pouring running on 3 days cause this was the second day that we were on the road ,I never do things impromptu I normally plan things out and I do things that are required based on information that is given and fact-checking and double-checking and cross-checking everything that I need to check before I make a decision and with regards to making a decision I normally take my time but something about Cleopatra it just makes you want to be as pragmatic as I can be not to say that I haven't been pragmatic but she makes me want to tak
