Happy Birthday Cleo

Birthdays are meant to be celebrated. The gift of life is a miracle , and apart from the fact that you get to celebrated every year it should be named rebirth day. We always have a choice. Choice is closely linked to free will. Regardless of circumstance or situation, we should always be comforted by the fact that we are powerful. We have life ; death , and rebirth. We are all born with gifts. The sooner we realize that everything starts with ourselves, we can never learn to move forward.

A stagnant river harbors filth. A river that flows always finds its way to the sea. Without life; there cannot be death and without death there cannot be rebirth. For everything that is lost , something is always found. There are many things that put life into perspective, and most of the time when some sort of awakening happens, we realize what's important, and what matters. It takes a part of you dying in order to live, and rebirth creates some sort of balance.

Angelo had organized a surprise party , at Marc's restaurant. Carl the owner of the restaurant I had booked for dinner was injured. Angelo was still quiet about how he got hurt . He has this thing where he keeps quiet and gets intense .He gets in his head about whatever the hell is eating him up... Meaning my beautiful beast is processing a lot and trying to be all tough. We did have our talk the day after my Birthday. He came clean about how my brother died. Thinking about it makes still makes me sad and I still feel pain. I can't get over how everything happened and how it played out . I have always had a part of me that was broken. It has been broken for so long ,I knew that it would be broken beyond repair by the time I get to it and deal with it properly . I wanted to focus the present. I can't do anything about the past and I can't co

    Cleo Home There is something that just clicks when you know that you are with the right person. There is the right kind of wrong ; and there is the wrong , kind of right . The latter is always the safe option , where as the first option is the option you should always go for. There is always safety in comfort to a certain extent. Being safe allows you to stay in your comfort zone, and staying in one zone for too long can stunt your growth . Things are constantly in a state of change. Even glaciers change form with time ; that in turn creates balance. Where feelings are concerned; you sometimes don't know what you're looking for, until what you are looking for finds you. You will know it once it does and it will be an aha moment . There can be reward no without risk and there can be no comfort without adventure. If I didn't say yes to Angelo at the restaurant after Sunday lunch with his parents; I'd be telling a different story. Before I got most of my memory back ; I questioned my

    Angelo Lost Cleo is to me what, kryptonite is to superman. My weakness in a good way though,I'd be lost without her. I don't know how she happened all I am is thankful to God and my lucky stars . I am happy she has her parts of her memory back and she remembered that she loved me and loves making love with me. Last night after we talked about the job she was offered; she agreed to explore her options. I personally don't want her to get on that plane . She said ; she would call to cancel the meeting and she was thankful that, I told her how I was feeling. The reason I threw her phone on the floor was because; Salvatore told me he was doing inappropriate things while he was talking with Cleo and that I was lucky he didn't steal her away from me. He admited to sleeping with my ex wife at her funeral. Cleo didn't go for obvious reasons; one of them being that she had no right to be there , and she didn't want to talk about it. Nina didn't want to have my children. She had left a lett

  • Escaping The CEO 2   Chapter 15- Running

    Running Cleo Running has always been my go to thing, if I need to make sense of everything. I run to clear my head and get rid of any energy that may be harmful to my wellbeing. I went to bed with Angelo and he slept like a baby while I couldn't sleep at all . It felt as if I was being used again. Angelo is by no means asexual. He is a sensualist through and through and when it comes to the things he loves he goes all out. Physically our connection is off the charts , we need a little work on the emotional side of things , but spiritually we are on the same wave length. I had only slept for an hour after our love making sessions . That man has stamina for days and I am not complaining. I don't think I ever complained. I knew he was tired and needed his rest; the twins were also asleep. I was the only one in the house who was wide awake . I slipped out of bed and decided to go to the home office to work. I had my emergency phone in one of my drawers and it came as no surprise as to

    AngeloFound YouWhen someone means everything to you ; you will move; heaven , earth , the in-between , hell , and purgatory to make sure that they are okay. I have always had trouble expressing how I feel ; because I am practical by nature, and stubborn to a certain extent. The only people who can sway me are; my baby girl, my baby boy , and their mother. I don't know why she chose to stay with me after what I put her through , but she sees something in me I can't see. I'd be a fool to let her go , or let some guy steal her away from me ... that's just my jealousy talking. I put tracking devices in Cleo's stuff... I can't be too careful. The Luca's are a very dangerous family. When I talked with my father he said; we had a truce with them .He also told me that Romano knew nothing about Cleo being my girlfriend and he is a guy who usually gets things done. He knew that Cleo knew how to get the job done without any excuses or problems, and he has no control because his son Salvatore .

More specifically, I need to pull myself towards myself .I was slowly coming around , and I knew I wasn't home. When I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was sunlight shining through the curtains , and the whistling sound of the howling wind , indicating that a cold front had hit the province over night . To be honest I felt a bit cold . If I went to sleep alone I must have talked to Angelo. I took a deep breath and my body was talking to me in ways I could understand. I was sore and sort of stiff. I didn't warm down properly after the hike . I gave thanks to my creator, for another day of life. I reached for my phone and looked at the time ; but all I saw was one notification after another...

    Angelo Less clingySaturday nights are the busiest night at the club. The only time we close is when we have to do inventory, have parties planned or the occasional gentleman's club. I don't like clubbing. I like the businesses side of it, but not the part where you have to pay someonew to have a good time. I'd rather stay home with Cleo and do other things. Even the twins get cranky when Cleo isn't around . Pia is sweet, but Pio has gotten into the habit of screaming when he doesn't get his way. Just this morning he didn't want to let go of Cleo. I also want some one on one time with my favourite girl too. Cleo walked in on me telling Pio he can't always have all the time with his mother , and she laughed at me. The cold front had passed and the air was still cold, but it was a bit warmer. Aaron and Alexis had opted for a winter wedding theme at an estate and hour away from the city. When I asked them why they opted for the location, they said; it was the place where they fell in l

    Angelo Braxton Hicks… I didn’t know anything about it , until Cleo happened. To be honest when Nina was pregnant with Gio ; I was absent … until the birth and the lie I refused to believe when I was told Giovanni wasn’t mine. I have a fear that has haunted me for years. I wasn’t on edge or “weak” . I used to be strong. Something happened to me and I guess it affected my mother more than it affected me. She has no reason to hate Cleopatra or my kids. I am thankful that Cleo is okay ,and another thing I am thankful for is that I get to spend time with her. I have been working from the resort. If ot means staying with Cleo and the twins in a remote area in the country , that is not even locatable on the gps… then yes I am staying.

    Cleo I don't know what happened one minute I was talking to Blue, and the next it felt like I was in labour. The last time I felt like this was a couple of months before I gave birth . This pain however felt severe . It was sharp and it also had me worried. Daniel was a doctor by profession . When I looked at Angelo he too also looked afraid as I felt. He didn't cry in front of people but he was close to tears . The resort had a hospital inside. It was a thirty minute drive from where we were. I knew the twins were well taken care of. I was worried about our baby. Angelo was in confession mode the whole ride . He told me that he was eves dropping and he was just making sure his ex wouldn't seduce me . On the other hand I was all emotional and I was crying . As soon as we went into the maternity ward a full check up was done. When Dan stepped out to go get my results Angelo came in looking all sorts of worried. He sat beside me and gave me a hug. I hugged him back and took a deep breat

    Angelo As a kid I used to love dinner parties; because I used to take alcohol, not steal because I drank with Luigi. We were and still are partners in crime. Even though we fought and still fight , we are two peas in a pod. On Thursday night dinner was awesome. The even had non- alcoholic wine. My shock wasn't as severe as before when I saw Daniel, and spoke to him. He looked like the male version of Cleo who I was still missing so badly . There was another dinner on Friday night and I didn't feel like going . Luigi talked me into going and he even gave me his suit. He was Daniel's half brother . I had to wrap my head around the bomb he dropped and I had only agreed to go to the dinner party , on condition I wasn't going to be left alone, because there was alcohol and my demons were itching to come out and play. The thing addiction is that you can't really get it out of your system . Addiction replaces addiction. When I had a talk with Daniel he asked me ; if Cleo was my drug? After

    CleoThis has been the longest two weeks I've ever had. The kids seem to like it here because they fall asleep easily and they stick to their play schedule. Pio and Pia love my brother. When I went over to go fetch them , they didn't want to come back with me to the house . I have already met Romano who told me that I should work for him on a part time basis . I would be doing the same work I did at Massa but with more pay. I could still work for Massa and him at the same time. To be honest this is the first time in a while that; I could hear myself think clearly and feel at peace. I even asked myself if I really wanted to be with Angelo after what we've been through ...On Thursday night there was a dinner party and I didn't feel like going. Izzy convinced me to go to tonight's dinner and I was honestly feeling fat. We went shopping and I found a shift dress that was printed with flowers. The dress was black and the flowers were purple . It looked like the Iris's on the dress were pai

    Two weeks laterIt's already October and by now I thought I; Cleo was going to have my last name, and I would make up for messing up with our first pregnancy. She already caught me out when we found out she was three months pregnant , when I indirectly insinuated that she was cheating on me . Even when I knew she would never do what Nina did. I woke up this morning feeling sad. I was now staying with my father and working from home. After Cleo called me I when I was at Carl's , she made sure I was okay and that I wasn't going to do anything stupid. If I was the old me I would have already been with another girl... I can't and I won't disrespect my relationship with Cleo. I love her and I don't want anybody else. Everything I do reminds me of her. She has been calling everyday to make sure I am okay, and keep me in the loop about what's going on with the kids...I even got to talk to Pio and Pia. As far as baby talk goes I am almost getting it. It took a a couple of days to wrap my hea

    Cleo was there at the beach house ; but it was an underground tunnel system . As soon as we made it under ground, we came out the other side and there was a speed boat waiting for us . I could still hear gun shots going off in the distance and the only thing that mattered to me was the safety of my unborn baby. I didn’t want to stress or panic . I did as I was told by Daniel and he never left my side not even once . When we finally docked we went into a car and we were driven to a beach house property . The property looked familiar and my perception didn’t fail me. This was a Luca residential area . As soon as I was settled in what looked like a private beach house with ocean views that were breathtakingly beautiful because of the risen full moon I was given some Chai tea by one of the maids and my brother told me that he would be in the beach house next door to mine . I had a fully stocked kitchen with the option of going to the main house for breakfast ; lunch , and dinner and what

    Angelo Missing the missing I seriously don't understand anything when things go wrong. For the past couple of months I have been through a lot. My fiancé is missing and I don't know where the hell she is . I want her back home with the kids.I sent a crew over to where we tracked her down and I am still waiting for a response. Fabio told me that he was baffled as to why they left Cleo with accessories on. I was driving inside the estate towards the house. I wanted to see my babies and assure them everything will be okay . When I arrived at the house ; the lights were on and the door looked like it was broken. My initial reaction was to call Carl because I cannot be attacked twice in one day. If you attack anyone I love you attack me and I always fight back and make sure the same thing doesn't happen again. I knew in my heart that Cleo was missing, but before I decide to fight; I needed to make sure that my kids were safe. Gia wasn't picking up her phone when I called on the way back

    CleoDANIEL My head feels heavy; my tongue has lost the ability to move , and my voice the ability to speak. I am alive .... Thank God I am alive . I don't feel like I am tied up; but I am in a room that has ;no clock , no light , the air conditioning was on but I felt cold . I slowly opened my eyes and took in my surroundings . I was pretty sure I was kidnapped because Angelo's security isn't this brutal unless it's by instruction from Angelo himself. The shutters on the windows blocked any source of light so it felt like I was in a room that felt like a prison; but didn't seem like one . I really needed to go to the toilet because I needed to pee .With the twins my bump was already showing by the three months and I had nausea throughout my first and second trimester. I already miss my babies and Angelo. I have to find a way out of here .I wasn't tied up ,but the room had a four post bed ... and thank goodness I spotted the bathroom. on my way there I spotted my ring and pendant. I
