Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 40 - surprise Trips
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 Opening up I don't like being sick. The last thing I remember was Angelo tucking me in and giving me a kiss on the forehead. I hit lights out and now I don't know where the jelly beans I am . I'm secretly hoping that I will wake up next to Angelo ,and have morning sex with him, because I felt a bit better today. We are trying for another baby after all . I just hope what I had yesterday was a tummy bug. Maybe I ate something that didn't agree with my stomach or better yet system. I was missing my babies and I wanted to call and check in with them . I missed them terribly and I couldn't wait to see them.When I took a deep breath and opened my eyes I heard a beeping sound . Absent mindedly I thought there was something going on outside, until I decided to open my eyes and see soft dimmed florescent lighting .I did feel better than yesterday but what the hell was I doing in a hospital bed instead of my own ? Where was Blue ? I closed my eyes again and took another deep breath . Th

Angelo I love Cleo. More than that; I love the fact that we are going to be parents again. There is something special about hearing an infant's heart beat . To know that you are part of creating something special, is an awesome feeling. I thought I had to doubt before ; but now I have reached the point where I can trust Cleo completely and not have to second guess her . I still had my men watching her every move when she lost her memory , and even when she recovered it. She was still faithful and loyal to me even, when we were apart . The week down by the coast was what we both needed . I had cancelled the surprise wedding I had planned with close friends and family. I am now learning how not to be selfish and do things just for me. I have three other people I have to consider now .When we returned home Sunday morning via the private jet Cleo was a bit distant. When I asked her what was wrong ; she just shook her head and blamed it on fatigue. She woke up again crying again in the mi

Cleo Girl TalkMy love languages have always been words of affirmation and quality time. As a girlfriend and most recently fiancé to a very complex , dense and broody man whose love language has always been gifting and physical touch , I have learned that ; Blue may not express himself with words properly or reassure me that we are okay, but it is in the way he does things that help him express how he is feeling or where his head is at . Angelo had hurt my feelings a week ago when we found out I was three months pregnant he indirectly asked me if I was sleeping with anyone before we got back together. Truth be told; I didn't sleep with anyone while my memory was taking a break. Did I remember Marc? Yes , and everything that came with the hurt I felt when we lost our baby girl. The only thing physical that I did with mark was kiss and hug . That's my story and I am sticking to it. Angelo had asked me if I still wanted to marry him? I was going to answer him but within seconds of him a

AngeloIndirectly back at workTueday morning I woke up to an empty house and a slight feeling of worry. For the first time in weeks I fell asleep next to Cleo and there was no tension between us. In fact we had made love l the night before and I woke up refreshed, satisfied and feeling good. When I woke up yesterday morning my arms were around a pillow instead of Cleo , which sucked because I knew she had the whole week off and the twins were coming over on Wednesday afternoon. I walked downstairs to go look for her and she wasn't in the kitchen , I went upstairs to her office and both her phoned were on the desk but no sign of Cleo. I got cleaned up and searched the whole house only to realize that Cleo was out . Her tablet was missing so I thought I could surprise her at work. She only works with her tablet if she needs to get through the bulk of her work. I was missing Cleo and I also missed my desk at work . I drove to the office and the first person I saw when I went into the de

Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 60 - Cleo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 59 - Angelo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 58 - Cleo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 57 - Angelo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 56 - Cleo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 54 - Cleo
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 53 - Missing the missing
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
Escaping The CEO 2 Chapter 52 - Daniel
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
