Chapter 254 Cleo Running has always been my safety net it's been the one thing that I've known how to do that when I married my husband and you that I found someone who will always find me if I run away this time I run away to the cafeteria and he found me I'm scared of a lot of things have things get a lot of things you know when you do something the first time it registers that you've lost something but when it's found and then there's a threat of losing it again that's when the fear sets in because you've had it before and then you've lost it you found it again and then there's a possibility that you might not have it anymore because of circumstances that are beyond your control. Being married to Michael Angelo and having kids with him is a blessing I'm always thankful for my blessings over to help ignore the house more and I'm also thankful for our children he almost messed up and I'm scared that he might mess up again he's also scared that he might mess up again and the only
Chapter 255AngeloWhen I grew up thinking that my uncle was my brother I was the only kid I was the only one there was no one before me there was no one behind me and the only responsibility I had was to help my uncle built his empire which I did but I'm not leaving the rewards because; I decided to go hang out with my real father who I am angry with because he is playing all of us emotionally but my wife is emotionally intelligent so she catches on very quickly if she is been manipulated .Now that I understand that I am the second kid where the pecking order is concerned I'm the middle child to have to take the brunt of the nonsense that both my older brother and my younger brother get up to like why do I have to be the responsible one and why do I have to be the one who's got so much potential and yet I overlooked time and time again. My wife needed my support and I was going to stand by her no matter what but she needs me to be the man that you married not the man that I was and
Chapter 256CleoThere is a difference between knowing the right amount of information to take action and knowing when it's the right time to tell the right person what they need to know . I've known for years that Sienna's heart was set on Apollo love wise . They just make sense and the evidence has always been clear over the years. I can tell you for a fact that Sienna has never had a stable boyfriend because she's an all-or-nothing type of person. So is Apollo and they both balance each other out .When I pulled Apollo aside, I told him everything you needed to know about Garrett and that he is working with people that he doesn't understand because I can speak from experience and I know from experience that Rosa has a way of manipulating people and getting them to do things that they want not only benefits in her but also benefits in the person that's doing the thing that she wa
Chapter 257 Angelo Sienna is a really great friend and I love her as a friend and that's it . We had already tried this relationship thing and it didn't work. Hell anything I had with any of the girls that I dated before my wife did not work. Do you know when you found the right person to be with you and the right person to do this thing called love with . It's a feeling that you get and it's something that just happens when you least expect it, but you expect it because you've been through so much upheaval. Cleopatra understood that I had a policy and it's time that I understand that she had a past too and there are some things that I don't know and if and when I do find out what I need to find out then I should be patient with her and let her explain her side of the story because they always three sides to every story. The truth ,his truth and her truth and my judgment that isn't biased. Melech spotted me walking by and called me into how could carry Apollo who was not respondi
Chapter 258CleoAngelo broods when he doesn't want to deal with the practicality of processing feelings . When I told him about his father and he made it to the elevator he went from flexible to inflexible and not wanting to see how his father was, he was still mad at him . I on the other hand had to see Maria and ask her how she was holding up ? I was actually calling between a rock and a hard place but eventually I managed to see her and she told me how she was holding up she wasn't doing well in fact everything that had happened from the point that I texted her and told her that her ex was sick and he needed all the support he could get it is this very moment she was being the supportive ex-wife and friend cause even though they were divorced that was still the best of friends.When I asked Michelangelo if you wanted to go inside the hospital he declined he said no but he will be here for me for moral support o
Chapter 259 Angelo There are times when I'm thankful for what I have and then returns when I curse the family that have been born into I really try turn to stand my father's reasoning for not wanting to let my wife go maybe it's because he found out that she does work for my mother on the side and that maybe I may try and convince her to actually jump ship and rope for him which will never happen never in a million years will that happen because I don't like the way he operates and the last thing I need is for the kids to make a choice and then choose his side of the company or his side of the family because the kids always have a choice and if they don't want to live this life then they can live another life where they are happy and free and don't have to worry about gangs and walls and other things that don't concern them . I only worry when there's a reason to, unlike my wife who worries at the drop of a hat . I think that's why Cleopatra is good at what she does. overthinki
Chapter 260 Cleo I've worked for Maria for a very long time , and the rule of thumb has always been to always be on the lookout for things that might look suspicious, always cover your tracks and if not always be suspicious of anything that happens or anything that's going on. That's a couple of rules but ; I can't believe that I didn't see what was happening. It took me a long time but I finally realized what was going on . When somebody wants to coordinate an attack that is huge they coordinate other smaller attacks to divert people from what they are really doing . Rosa and Tori are predictable , I have never not once fought back because I had children and I didn't want those children to be in harm's way. the one thing you need to know about somebody who will issue is that they know the person that they are bullying I've said it once before and I'm going to say it again people don't attack what they don't know and when somebody knows you inside out or knows something about you
Chapter 261CleoThere's a point where you know that you've got to play for time in order for stuff to happen and I wasn't doing that. I just needed something from Nicolai before Michelangelo started acting all protective when we heard the sound of glass breaking . We were in the right territory and the territory was secure so if Garrett managed to break free he'd still be caught . I knew that Michelangelo had a reason for telling me to stay where I was because he was afraid that there was a security breach .I knew how to use guns and how to protect myself the first thing I did when he left was transfer all the information that I had on the desk to my notebook and then send it information to Maria who would know what to do with the information I then had to make sure that I deleted any and all information that was on the disk because Garrett was using it to blackmail Maria to give him protectio
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
