CleoI've really had a long day and all I want to do is just rest ; but I can't until I Angelo why I have been missing in action for half of the weekend. I miss him; the twins and everyone else. I hadn't told him about the date with Salvatore. My reasoning behind that was that he would have stopped me and from what I know the Luca's always collect what's due to them on time. I am not an object ; I was caught between a rock and a hard place when I made the deal with Salvatore. He had agreed to help me and I was happy he did. The date was scheduled for this morning and he had warned me that I'd be out of range for most of the trip . There was no network reception at the location, he flew us to with his chopper to an ocean resort that had water sports. He had planned activities that only had to do with water . This guy pretty much does everything under the sun. We started the morning with a hike along the river; then we went river rafting , jet skeing, in-between that we had brunch , a bo
Angelo I don't know when or how it happened; but it happened so fast , that I was struggling to deal. If it wasn't for Gia calling the ambulance when she did , I'd be telling different story. As a kid you don't expect your parents to fall ill , however when they do another part of your brain switches on. I have always seen my father as unshakable and strong. I was so wrong . My whole world caved in when I saw him on the floor; we had just had a great conversation without arguing or fighting . I was just beginning to communicate with him properly. My dad had a heart attack which resulted in a double coronary artery bypass surgery. If it wasn't for Cleo calling and coming when she did; I would have already ordered someone in the new team to get me my fix. I really need to get checked out because my will seems to be depleting lately. Cleo speaks to a part of me that is afraid of the light, and brings it out. I can't go back to the man I once was. I refuse to . I have so much to live for
CleoI have never been one for big surprises or elaborate stuff. Call it being true to who I am or what I prefer . I love creature comforts and alone time with the ones I love. My love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. Angelo doesn't need to affirm anything because I know when I am with him , everything is absolute . For the first time in a long time I feel like I can be myself unapologetically , be loved unconditionally , and accepted. I had just come home from work and I was tired. I needed all the energy for the night, and my loving husband to be decided to sweet and surprise me with a question in a room filled with roses ; lilies, and tulips. He had also written a question on a board he had hung up near a light fixture that looked like a cluster of stars it simply read; "BE MY EVER AFTER." With a heart and xoxo at the bottom. When I said; yes ,I didn't feel forced or tricked in anyway like the first time he asked me. I had a lot going on that week which later re
AngeloI think I should be a stay at home dad; or better yet a house executive . Angelo Massa house executive of the Massa house hold , husband to Cleopatra Massa , half woman , half demigod , all round amazing woman , and I am proud to say that she is mine ... all mine . No guy can take her away from me she is my soul mate my better half and partner in crime ... indirectly. On Wednesday evening I proposed to Cleo and she said ; yes, she did something that I didn't expect her to do and that was give me a lingerie show for one . I use my secret compartment in my closet to store guns and emergency documents , which she knew about . I didn't know about her collection.Wednesday night was eventful ; Thursday morning was even more amazing because we had the first Spring rains pour down .Cleo had to go to work but I convinced her to work from home , and that I could help her with the workload. Truth be told I didn't have a head of department for communications and I wanted her back at Massa
CleoSurprise trips We are well into the second week of spring . In my opinion we are not yet celebrating Spring. About a week ago we had rain . I felt like going out but ; I was under covers warm and wrapped up in skin. By the time Sunday came around we decided to go to the late mass . I wouldn't be setting a good example for the kids if I went along with Angelo's idea of skipping mass and making up for it during the week. The twins were still staying with my mother ; and she had called me to tell me she went to mass with Gia ,and the twins back home instead of the usual drive up back and lunch . Angelo's dad was staying with DR Raphael at the villa . We had dinner there and drove back to the house... I was still feeling sleepy from all the fun we had ; so when Angelo went upstairs to his office to check on something I sat on the couch and hit lights out . My body has never betrayed me so badly . I was woken up by the wind on Monday morning with Angelo's arm around my waist . He w
Angelo Fortress Of all the surprises I had planned for Cleo and I over the time we have been together; I hope this one goes as planned because, I cannot stand things going up in the air after we find middle ground. I was dressed up in black shorts and a blue t-shirt . I wanted to drive Cleo out to my favorite spot in the property . We had a landing strip a lake house and a yacht . Going back home was going to be easy ,because my guys were flying the plane in a couple of days time . I didn't need to worry about anything except for having alone time with Cleo . I had told her to meet me outside by the dock. I knew she loved the ocean and I had a surprise for her tomorrow morning . This was turning out to be a great evening . The sky was clear and there was a bit of wind but it wasn't that cold. I had been waiting outside for an hour when I started wondering where Cleo was? She couldn't be too far. If something also happened she couldn't run away. We have network connection; but I know
CleoUnder the weather I usually run to work off steam or take long walks if I am angry . I was wearing my a black and white floral print maxi dress with a sky blue cardigan , and black slip on sneakers. After receiving the message I decided to stand up Angelo and not meet him at the time he said I should meet him . I had taken a walk outside to pull myself back towards myself and deal with what I had just seen. I had called Clara because she was the only friend I could count on Alexis included. I couldn't tell Alexis what I saw but Clara I could. When I told her ; she talked me down over the phone because I was crying , when she asked me why was I crying? I told her everything and she told me that she knew because Angelo came to her and Angelo was afraid he would trigger more bad memories. Feeling a tad bit guilty I wanted to go back to the house and sort things out with Blue. As soon as I hung up, I heard an engine in the distance and thought nothing of it until someone stood in fr
Angelo I forgive youI worry a lot about Cleo, more specifically I worry about her when she is sick. We were having lunch one moment and then she went all green. I kind of thought it was something in the food but; I was so wrong it wasn't anything I made .When we got back home she was still out of sorts and didn't want to touch or drink anything. I called Brent in the morning because I was starting to get worried. When she took an afternoon nap and I checked on work logistics , she was knocked out cold for almost three hours. I went to go check up on her and she was burning up soaked in sweat. I called Fabio to get the chopper ready because Cleo really looked unwell and I don't know what she has therefore I can't nurse her back to full health . We had a private wing at the hospital near the resort and the doctor there was really good. Doctor Baker worked in Johannesburg before he was transferred to the coast. The same hospital I was taking Cleo to had a mental ward. Call it fate but C
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
