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
Cleo Clubbed out clubbing I love going out with friends and having a great time. Clubbing has never been my scene , nor was having a pre party, before the main party ever an idea that crossed my mind... but Alexis was getting married in a week's time and she saw it fit to have her bachelorette party a week before instead of the day before the wedding. She didn't have a theme for the party , the brief was ; look sexy for a night of fun. I think I had followed the brief because I had put on a long sleeve round neck lbd with thigh high stiletto boots and a red coat to match . I was having drinks with Alexis; Clara , and Amy. I thought I had seen amber from the corner of my eye with a couple of guys , but I brushed it off as my eyes playing tricks on me. After three; mid fucks, sex up against the wall ,and screaming orgasms I wanted my bed . If I wasn't tipsy when we walked in the club ... I was definitely inebriated, to the point of struggling with my balance. I so chose the wrong shoes
AngeloStrength You can only be strong for so long. I always believed being tough, and showing no emotion was for the weak until I met Cleo.I am always certain of a lot of things; but the one thing that always scares me is the fact that nothing is ever guaranteed . Even when you think everything is going well something always tips the balance of things . When Salvatore called me ; I was annoyed , until he told me that it was about Cleo. When I arrived at his club the red brigade was there. There were ambulances and a police car to be exact and I was angst. As soon as I walked out the first person I saw at the back of the ambulance with a blanket over her was Amber. She looked okay; but it seemed like she was in shock . I stopped to check if she was okay."Amber ?"Amber slid off her blanket and ran to give me a hug ."Uncle Michel."She started sobbing and I soothed her by rubbing gentle circles on her back."Shhh angel it's okay you are safe now."I pulled back and she sat down .Sh
AngeloThere comes a point when you realize that you cannot , and I mean cannot control how things turn out. I am not stressed. No I am not. Stress is a condition whereby the sufferer has a misaligned relationship with time. I don't have that. I learned how to play the waiting game a long-time ago in rehab. Right now I feel everything and nothing at the same time and it seriously sucks. It's been a couple of days and Cleo hadn't woken up yet . Marc and Amber are at least on speaking terms and they are both seeing a therapist. I know that's what Cleo would have wanted.Alexis and Aaron were getting married this weekend and I hadn't left Cleo 's side ; except for getting cleaned up and eating. Marc told me that; Cleo would be mad at him if he didn't at least make sure I was fed properly. I didn't want to go to the wedding and leave Cleo alone and she had been okay with my friendship with Alexis . They have even become good friends. Everyone was already at the estate Alexis and Aaron me
Chapter 22New Baby MamaCleo Amber has a really huge problem . I couldn't piece together what happened the night I was knocked out cold , but now that I have had time to recover mentally and physically , everything started to make sense.When I saw Amber at the club and tried to get her out; she was seeing someone she shouldn't be seen with. I swear I knew his face . He looked like Paul stone . The only difference is that he was mixed race. I couldn't put a name to the face because, my brain was having trouble, but now I know who it is and I don't know how in heavens name I am going to tell Marc that; her daughter was dating a guy who was eight years older than her, and that they were engaging in adult activities.No parent wants to know that their child is doing adult stuff . I remember now... I saw Amber having sex with Paul stone's brother when I got lost on my way back to the main floor of the club. The first question that crossed my mind was ; What was Taylor Tau Stone doing in
AngeloHalf Brother Children are a blessing . Having had two of my own , and raising Gio has always been a blessing. I love all my children the same. When I told my father about; Amber being his first granddaughter he asked; if there was a DNA test conducted , and I said yes. When he asked; if my mother was around when it was done I nodded ,and he gave me a doubtful look. I aske him; if things between mom and him were okay. He shook his head and told me things were not okay. As you grow older , you realize that you can only do so much to try and stop a heart that's about to be broken. I had noticed my dad was not himself after the wedding. He came to my house with Gia and the twins. He wasn't spending time with my mother and that was cause for concern. Cleo had gotten up before me, and I didn't feel her get out of bed this morning. I have to admit she was moody. Amber had come back from camp earlier than expected and she was cussing trouble. Not only was she giving Gianna a diffi
Cleo There is a fine line in knowing ; when to fight for something, or when to let everything go and walk away. I woke up this morning not knowing what to expect from ; Angelo's daughter Amber . She is Sophia amplified. I never thought I'd see the day when I would say this ,but I have to. My husband's daughter kicked my twins and I out of our house , and as if that wasn't enough she hurt my son and oh kicked her "grandfather out of her father's house." Claudio didn't even fight back he walked out with me and we drove to the Villa . When we arrived one of his men made sure that everything was up to date in terms of security . Pia had fallen asleep on the way , however Pio wasn't okay . He was cranky. And by that I mean he didn't want to let go of me ; even when we sat down for breakfast as soon as I put him in his high chair he started screaming. I am so mad at Amber for throwing a stuffed toy at him when he did nothing to her. Angelo is doing nothing . He told me yesterday that he fe
AngeloCleo has always been patient with me and I have been patient with her. I don't like it when we fight. What's worse is that she looked upset when she left the nursery. I knew Pia was at her mom's and Pio was with her for the rest of the week and weekend. I was so mad at Amber for doing what she did , and Marc didn't come through to help me .He told me to ;stay the fudge sticks away from him while he deals. He believes Amber is his.My dad had two separate tests done without my mother's knowledge. He was going to tell me this morning but my daughter kicked him out too.When I arrived at the villa my father was busy with security ;so I went upstairs to look for Cleo. She was in the nursery singing a lullaby to Pio . I joined her and helped her put Pio to sleep . She was upset with good reason and after making sure that my little guy was in lala land I followed her into the main bedroom ,but she had ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and I could hear her cry .It hurt me that
Cleo There is always something calming, cleansing, rejuvenating, and healing about water. The ocean has always been a place of refuge for me , besides church. I feel safe cared for and loved . I have also come to the realization that I am engaged to a man, who has past issues he has to deal with. I didn’t understand why Angelo’s mother wouldn’t want him to be happy ,and be with who he wants to be with. Mistakes happen. I also think Blue killing his cousin was an accident. After he told me what he told me I gave him time to calm down. I do know that he didn’t mean to shoot, and kill his mother’s last living relative. I didn’t get what his nightmares were about , but now I do. Lawrence is the guy who keeps on feeding on his fears on a subconscious level. When he finally said what he needed to say and let go I saw a side of him that I knew existed . The sweet caring guy I loved was back and I couldn’t be more happier. The twins just love being with my brother they are happy
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. It was already Wednesday and by this time in the week Cleo is done with everything regarding Client lists and shipments. Even scheduled posts. Last night Daniel and Izzy came through for dinner and the twins loved them . I wanted to tuck in Pio but he
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
