Chapter 74
Cleo
There is an Italian proverb that I like; "He who finds a friend has found a treasure"
It didn't make sense to me until I became good friends with Carlo . He had always been friendly towards me and has proven to be a reliable friend and now bodyguard because Angelo doesn't trust me to come back home since I took an impromptu trip to Johannesburg . I can't dead with my feelings directly and tell someone what's going on in my head and my heart , I need time to process what I'm feeling and why .
Keeping secrets from Angelo was never a thing , but keeping this secret has just made me more sad that I have to tell him the truth and risk possibly losing him to a woman that ; to be honest appeared to be friendly but turned out to be as sneaky as a lizard. They say you can never tell when a sneak attack is coming your way , you can only hope that when the blow is dealt you can remedy
Chapter 75 If I was Cleo I would have already left me by now . I know I messed up when I slept with my ex, but I think Arabella is fibbing through her teeth about me sleeping with her without protection . I went through the footage . I was sitting beside a sleeping Cleo , and we were not at the beach house property with the landing strip . We were attacked by someone who works for Matteo . Cleo had a severe panic attack and with good reason. She has been a through hell and back and it's affected her very badly. The past couple of nights she has been waking up in a cold sweat rapidly breathing thinking that she is still being captured at the villa. The past couple of nights she has been waking up and not coming to bed at all. We weren't talking to each other and I now understood why she was being cold towards me all weekend. I was going through the footage Carl sent me and as predicted I was right. I used p
Chapter 76CleoThere was a point in my life where the only thing I had to worry about was what I had to do to prepare for work the next day . I knew that I had to make sure that everything was in order , and that I could control any situation no matter the outcome because I had contingency plans in place.I knew that no matter the size of the curve ball ; I was going to be able to counter the attack . The past few days have proven one thing and one thing only , I don't have any control and therefore I always need to be on the look out for anything that might seem odd or suspicious, and I have to constantly look over my shoulder because of the recent threats that the family I work for has recieved from another family who's surname I carry. I don't like being caught in the middle.Apart from the fact that I was packing my bags for the second time this week, I was fighting with my husband a
Chapter 77AngeloI'm usually in control of how I feel , and I have always been able to gage how Cleo feels or how moody she is . When she doesn't know how to feel and I'm struggling with my own issues internally instead of communicating what wrong , we tend to have arguments and right now I feel bad for what I just said to her and insinuated.While Cleo was recovering I went through her phone. I don't know what possessed me to do what I did, but I couldn't help myself because of recent events. I'm still angry that she left without a word an worked with her ex on a project she could have done her at home. She says I use sex as weapon against her if I'm angry , but she doesn't get the fact that her working with men she used to be intimate with is a form of rebellion and a slap across my face . I already don't like her working with Juan. He is a likable guy
Chapter 78CleoOver the years I’ve learnt to gage if something is offish ; and being with Angelo it seems like I have a knack for sensing the unusual. I get where he is coming from in terms of me being friends with my Ex’s . As if it wasn’t bad enough that I was working with Juan who was liked by everyone including ; Romano ,and mister I turn green with jealousy when any guy tries to take you away from me Angelo , I have to deal with Angelo being something he isn’t … which is being insecure in my loyalty towards him. Venting out my frustrations to Daniel has proven never to work because he is generally neutral when it comes to the arguments that Blue and I have .When I asked Angelo when Carlo was coming back; something in me had clicked . If someone like Carl has always been perfect and done things right , that
Chapter 79AngeloI opened the house door and banged it. I was angry and the reason for the the anger was because I didn't feel like facing what I was feeling. I know it was unfair to Cleo and seeing that it was late and she was probably tired , I didn't want to add to the stress she already had.I drove out to the restaurant that I used to own ; I knew that they were open twenty four seven and as much as I wanted to drink and numb the pain I was feeling I couldn't . The last memories I have of this town were sad . I thought I had lost the love of my life. Coming to terms with what happened on my birthday four years ago was the hardest thing I have ever had to do .Cleo had organised a birthday party for me and had invited everyone who was family , except for my extended family who is causing major trouble at the moment . I
Chapter 80 Cleo There are some things husband's shouldn't know . I have been with Angelo for the past four years, and I don't want him knowing what I do with my money. When we drew up the pre nuptial agreement we both had an agreement that the only thing that should be shared are the kid's accounts and the trust funds . We both haven't had any problems until he decided to tell Carl, to look into my finances . I called Carl out and he came clean. I don't want my fights with Angelo to revolve around finances. I was smart with the money I had and over the years it grew . When I found out about Matteo selling everything to do with Massa at less than its Market value I didn't pay any attention , until Bryan called me to ask me what the hell was going on? He was in a state initially and by the time I got him to calm down , I got my lawyers look into the mess that Matteo had created , because peo
Chapter 81AngeloEmma is the closest person I have to a mother and looking back over the years she has been my go to person when I needed to make sense of what I was feeling and how I needed to communicate in such a way that I don't hurt the ones I love . I knew that the restaurant had a hectic morning rush , so after making breakfast for the kids and Cleo , I packed everything and started helping out with baking cupcakes, flapjacks, muffins, and prepping the different kinds of fruits for smoothies.I for some sort of odd was missing my wife a s with good reason because we cook together and work as a team . I didn't sleep at all last night and this morning I was sorting myself out and I didn't want to hurt Cleo by being too blunt instead of being sensitive to her feelings . I really love her and I do believe that what we have is worth more than its weight than tonnes of gold and platinum.By t
Chapter 82CleoI have had a hectic night and a hectic morning. If there is one thing I like about Angelo walking out during a fight , it is the fact that he is deliberate in his actions. In the life span of our relationship he has never not come home after a fight and this was the first time we had a fight and he didn’t come home at all last night.The thunderstorm we had the night before and I’m not talking about the war of words we had about buying something he didn’t know about , with my own money and not his .When the kids notice his absence , because I feel like he didn’t come home last night deliberately; that’s when I start to worry. Ava didn’t notice but our four year old twins did and our son in particular has issues with his own father . He struggles to forgive if he feels like he has been
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
