Chapter 78
Cleo
Over 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 83AngeloI value moments I get to spend with my family. As possessive as I may seem I just want them to be with me and only me . I am having an investigation done on Carl too and I could see that it killed Cleo to have our friend investigated . You can never be too careful . What Matteo did to the Massa empire was heartless and ruthless . Cleo on the other had has a great legal team. For the fact that she can own a town and not have anyone know about it is nothing short of wild ; crazy , mind blowing , but above all heroic . I married superwoman . I know so because she puts others before herself. I tend to shoot from the hip and stick to my gunsWhen Cleo went upstairs to go get cleaned up with Ava . I got the twins to go get a bath and change. In return I promised them access to the house WIFI when Cleo sets it up and that; they could use my
Chapter 84CleoI have never suspected Carlo for any wrong doing and apart from the fact that he was once Clara's boyfriend who messed up , he has always been one of the good guys. I know that; it's killing Angelo that I am suspecting one of his best friend's who he knew from diaper days of being disloyal.Daniel gave him some time off , he told Carl he works too hard and that he had some time off . With the many resorts Luca corp owns he sent him; Brent , Clara and all their adorable children to one out of the country.The one in Zanzibar Tanzania to be exact. I don't know how Brent can be adult enough to understand that Carl and Clara share a child and being jealous will only result in unwanted tension . They have managed to make it work and Carl is going out with Amy; the doctor who loves to stitch him up in more ways than one ,
Chapter 85AngeloI really love spending time with the kids and playing games . They had me running around and playing games in the entertainment area . I need to get back into shape because I have to keep up with them . When four year olds attack they do it with intent . My son threw toys at me .I woke up this morning with a sore throat and achy body .I now see why Cleo plans play time and she preps . After reading the twins they're bedtime stories , I had to go back and tidy up because I knew that Cleo was going to wake up and clean up the mess I made which wouldn't be fair . Ava was fast asleep in her crib by the time I went to bed Cleo had hit lights out and I appreciated a rare sight . A sight of my baby love sleeping. She looked peaceful and perfect . As predicted she wasn't in bed when I woke up this morning, and given the late night I had with the twins they were g
Chapter 86CleoThere was a time when I wished my brother was around to talk to me and help me make sense of a lot of stuff guys do that are just plain confusing. That time came and went and I had no brother. I was under the impression he was dead and that he had taken his own life . The truth was that Romano faked my brother’s death for his own protection and now I understand why he did what he did. Ava was still taking her nap while Angelo and I woke the twins up and got them cleaned up and ready for the day .I still hadn’t had any breakfast and I needed to fuel up before my brother and father in law came through. I had a lot to talk to Daniel because his network was much more bigger than Angelo’s . He was helping me investigate Carlo only to find out that; Carl has been loyal and honest this whole time . My ex boyfriend was the one who was responsible for my husband’s ex girlfriend finding out his l
