Cleo
I have my reasons for not discussing work with Angelo. One of the many reasons is because I didn't want us to clash heads when I had to make my own decisions . He has never liked the fact that I was a self starter. He would always try and find a way to make me work under him . The room we we were in was quiet and sound proof. It was only when you went outside could you hear the noise.
I needed to cool off and looking out at the ocean was what I needed to do .
I took a couple of deep breaths and looked around to make sure the coast was clear and I screamed my lungs out . When I screamed out for the third time I felt an embrace and my head was on someone's shoulder and he was soothing me . I knew in my husband because who ever it was smelt of cinnamon and ginger .
"Shhh it's okay I've got you . "

Chapter 26CleoLast night the strangest thing happened to me. I was out with Salvatore and Hannah because Juan Diego Francisco had invited us to a festival he was performing at before he was due to perform at the Valentine's day ball Luca Corp was organising.I didn't recognise Juan Diego until he jogged my memory about highschool when he requested to have lunch with me and my boss agreed. I knew Juan before Clara . He was my boyfriend in High school but our love wasn't meant to be . The reason was class difference. Which I didn't understand then , but I sure as hell understand now.Juan broke my heart by leaving me dateless at the final year dance...

Chapter 27AngeloI have a tendency of losing it when I don't get the answers I need . Part of me feels like my father and Salvatore are out to get me with regards to my relationship with Cleo. We are married and yet it feels as if I have no control on what the decisions she makes and the people she sees . I know something was up with Juan Diego Francisco when I saw him last year. He wanted Cleo indirectly without being direct about it .I cannot believe that my father was responsible for my wife not being around. I was going to kill Salvatore when Daniel stopped me . He would never lie to me and he told me that his sister would be back before Valentine's day. My dad was making me pay for saying ; no to him . Juan Diego was Cleo's ex boyfriend that she didn't tell me about or mention. All I know is what Daniel told me; Cleo's first love died while playing a rugby match and Juan Diego was the

Chapter 28CleoI don’t know the man I married. I seriously don’t . I thought I knew the man Angelo was . It turns out that I don’t and what is worse is that he knew who I was all along. Meeting Juan was not by accident and knowing what I know now, I still love my husband . He isn’t the same guy he was back then and I vowed for better or for worse . Juan and I talked and as far as talks go , we had a hectic talk . The first thing he told me was that ; He didn’t want to leave me and he wanted to stay and be there for me , but he got a call from his agent telling him that they had to leave immediately and go to some hotel in Italy for a residency spot. The money was good and it was way too important to pass up . As soon as they arrived they hit the ground running.

Chapter 29AngeloI stood steady and slid the knife underneath the scarf and ripped it . Cleo was in freeze mode and the last thing I wanted to do was scare her .Juan was working with my father and I didn't want him listening in on my conversations with Cleo . The scarf Cleo was wearing , was bugged . I knew it because my father had given me a similar one as a gift for Christmas and I had Carl scan it for safety sake and it had a tracker and a small microphone hidden in the embroidery .I opened the window to throw it out not letting go of Cleo I retracted my blade from the pocket knife and put it back in my pocket. Cleo was about to scream when I kissed her muffling the sound . I kissed her hard at first ; then went soft . She kissed me back wrapping her legs around my waist . When I held her close and hugged her she hugged me back . All I could do was cry on her shoulder ." I am so sorry babe."

CleoSince I've started working for Luca Corp ; I have been one busy body . The parties they have are very elaborate and they make a statement big or small they know how to entertain . Besides being head of PR and Marketing communications , logistics and shipping I have had a really busy couple of months even working remotely . The three days that I had with Juan took a lot out of me emotionally and mentally. To an extent I was starting to feel the physical effects .When Angelo and I had lunch at the main house, he wasn't warm toward Juan. There were instances where he wouldn't curl his fist underneath the table so hard that you could see his knuckles go white . I had to hold his hand for the duration of the lunch because we were having a conversation about when Juan and me used to go out. If there is one thing I know about Angelo is that; he has

Chapter 31AngeloI was busy giving Cleo an earful with my back turned to her because I was so livid and the rage within me was somehow fueld by the fact that she lied to me and said that she was well last night when she wasn't .I had heard the door open and close and I knew who it was." How could you do what you did knowing my history?... Cleo I asked you a question."There was a long pause and when I turned around to look at Cleo she wasn't there . Daniel walked in and spoke;"Massa hey who are you talking to ?""Cleo we were in a middle of an argument. Did you know about the pills?

32CleoIf there is one place that I hate being in it is the hospital. More specifically a trip to the hospital caused by a preventable incident that would have resulted in both my husband and my brother talking out an issue that was meant to be discussed instead of fighting with each other and almost killing one another in the process. I get that they are brother's but; what In the name of Brotherhood is going on with theses two?I was in the hospital trying not to lose my cool because , my body was still in a state of weakness. I was sitting in Daniel's office and he thought that it was best for me to wait there instead of the waiting room for any news on Angelo.Daniel had pulled a number on him and he was in the O.R. My heart was still hurting I had dosed off on the couch in Daniel's office only to be woken up by bellowing voices . I flashed back to the time Ange

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 .

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.

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.
