Angelo
I always forgive and let go . I cannot harbour any hate and I cannot be judged by my past mistakes. Its the past . I'm lucky enough to have Cleo who's been patient with me. I'm pretty sure I want her for keeps . I went to her office at lunch time; because she wasn't picking her phone up , she left without saying goodbye this morning , and I missed her . With Paul around she's safe. He told me he was just stepping out for lunch with Ruth. They are being civil at the moment which is a and I don't want Cleo worrying for nothing .Sophia just won't stop . I found her man handling Bella;I threw her out and locked the door .The team will deal with her. She must have said something to my baby love because right after she cleaned up after puking; shame my poor baby she asked who was I .
I gathered that Sophia told her about the company I worked for .
Cleo looked at me with sad eyes

Chapter 29CleoI usually know how I feel. Right now I don't know how to feel. I don't need time away from Blue I just need him to get that; I haven't had it easy since we started dating, and it all just came out wrongly. I love him and I don't want to lose him,now more than ever I need stability in my life . He walked out on me a week ago . What's going to happen when our child is born? Part of me wonders where he went that night he lost control at the restaurant. Who was he with , or who did he talk to?. Paul stayed with me and suggested I go to the resort . I'm finding it hard to understand that I met Angelo's mother. The woman in the picture that Blue showed me, is the same woman I met. He has the same mole on her upper lip as Angelo does. I have a feeling there is more to our meeting than just seeing someone who was presumed dead but is alive.I was walking down the hall as fast as I could with Angelo

Chapter 30AngeloFor the longest of times I've wonder how it would feel to be in a relationship where I don't have to worry about my girlfriend being unfaithful to me. The last three women I've been with made me wonder, because they proved my suspicions right. Nina had a child with my cousin , Sophia slept with a stranger and Nikki slept with Duncan too . They all said that they felt unappreciated and that emotionally I wasn't there. They didn't get me . Cleo has been patient with me although she needs her space , she eventually comes around and she hasn't once just looked for someone els or sleep with Brendan. She gets me.I feel bad for keeping her away from him; he goes to the club and has access to the lounge. I don't trust him around Cleo.Until I'm sure he won't pull any moves on what's mine I'm keeping him away.Bella passed out again; shame she's trying to adjust to the changes she's going through. I almost freaked out. I've been thr

Chapter 31CleoI used to think being a super woman required me to change who I was and the way I looked . I thought I was supposed to be thin , have long hair , and if I don't have long hair getting a weave just to fit in...I thought I needed to have the perfect wardrobe, latest phone , and hang out with the "cool kids".Life has a way of humbling you. I grew up with what I needed and whatever I wanted I had to work hard for.As time went on; I was sometimes confused as to why the other kids were on trend and I wasn't . Why do they got special treatment and I didn't. Why I got treated differently for staying true to myself and they got praised for being the same.It took ending up in the hospital with an eating disorder; three failed suicide attempts and therapy to get that , being different means that you're authentic and true to yourself, and nobody can take that away from you. You have your own identity . You are not your status, s

Chapter 32AngeloI have never been so livid and scared in my entire life. I regret what happened with Lisa the that good for nothing woman who is nothing but trouble . She was my friend until she left me for dead when I overdosed. It was a really dark time in my life , I only had Nicolai and Carlo to help me get out and I'm eternally thankful to God and my guardian angels for saving me. I was angry at Bella for going into a car and driving off with a total stranger. It happened right outside Paul's office building. When we looked at the plates on the car that had driven off we found out that she was with someone we knew. I was relieved and worried sick. It could have been a mad man. The same week I asked Cleo to move in , I sent CP a picture of her and called to tell him everything. He was happy for me . An hour after looking for Cleo I called him in a state. He is always calm and direct . By the time we were done I knew where Cleo was. Paul broke his silence

Chapter 33CleoThis by far has been the longest and scariest day I've ever had. Everything that could go wrong went wrong . Everything that could go right went pair shaped. Angelo had a hectic day at work and instead of calling to cancel on our plans to have lunch , her worked through the day . He also has to reassign Ruth to a different department. Blake told me about Ruth and for the sake of keeping things professional I didn't ask about Angelo. Turns out the person that almost ran me over and I ran away with; was Angelo's longtime best friend , and he came clean about knowing who I was and that I was driving Angelo crazy in a good way. He had taken out a scrap book with pictures of him and Blue. Angelo looked as good as he does right now . He ages so well .Carlo told me about a time Angelo saved him when they were teens. Angelo had shot someone in order to protect him. If it wasn't for Angelo he would have been dead. Just after I said Angelo was amazing he

AngeloI'm not a first time father. I've been through it all; well at least that's what I thought. No matter how well things are going, you can't help but worry. I had first hand experience with Gio. Everything you do affects them on some level; be it emotionally or mentally, it will reflect in their behavior. The counselling and therapy is working and I'm doing okay. Bella scared me when she said she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. It turns out we were not expecting one, but two babies. Before we could go home while we were waiting for the doctor we talked about the day I almost died and how Carl and Paul found me before I was too far gone. Paul being Paul gave Cleo Tuesday off but I had to go to work and sort out the mess Ruth made . We were at the main house and I left early so that I could be home by lunchtime. By six in the morning I was already out ; it took me fifteen minutes to get to work. I had set a reminder on my phone to check on Cleo every

CleoI've had a couple of close calls in my life . However sometimes you tend to remember events or phases that, helped you build your character or changed you in some way . I didn't see what happened to me coming especially after I thought something was wrong with my pregnancy the day before.Brendan wanted to meet up for breakfast and touch base. We hadn't talked for months; my guess was that he was in some kind of trouble and I had a sneaky suspicion Angelo was helping him. Brendan is a food guy he just mixes with the wrong people who take advantage of him.I had forgotten my phone at home and Angelo tracked me down using Blake and he end

CleoThere is nothing ordinary about my relationship with Angelo . It is both exciting and scary. Exciting in terms of the many changes I've had to go through the past couple of months , and scary because Angelo is a man of many secrets. I hate secrets I'd rather you tell me the truth instead of keeping it from me . We are all human and we are not infallible. The only thing infallible is my lipstick, but that too comes off my lips when I wipe away the make up... That's if I wear any.Rosa the woman who looked like the woman on Angelo's bracelet, came running towards the car, she tripped and fell, and when I was helping her up the blue brigade came through.She didn't look as happy as I saw her at the resort but she confirmed what I knew all along; she was Blue's mommy.

CleoIt happened so fast; one minute I was having ice cream with Gio outside by the pool ,the next Rachel was charging towards us and shooting. Giovanni is like a son to me and I love him as much as I love Pio and Pia . All I remember was that;I jumped across the table to protect Gio,and Mr Massa shot me by mistake trying to shoot Rachel . I remember the piercing pain I felt on my abdomen and nothing after that. I was taking a trip out of town to think clearly and on my way I stopped to tell Gio and the Massa's I was going to another province for a couple of days to ; clear my head and figure out if I wanted to marry Angelo . I had left him a letter that I wrote saying;"Dear BlueBy the time you read this letter I will be gone. I was sure when I said yes. Now I'm not so sure. I need time to think...

AngeloI messed up. I know I shouldn't have lost it at Cleo last night , but I did and now I am paying for it. As soon as we arived I saw my father in the waiting room ; his blue dress shirt was soiled with blood and my mother was trying to calm him down. Cleo's mother and the twins were not in the country. I flew them out without her knowledge. I was going to tell her last night but I got drunk. There is no doubt that I look like hell. I walked inside and the moment my father looked at me he cried." Son I am so sorry. It was an accident .""Dad... What happened?"

AngeloI love being with Cleo ; however this morning she surprised me with breakfast and for the first time in a while we had a family meal with Gio, Pio, Pia , Nicolai,Carlo, and Caleb.I love the fact that we are neighbours with Carl and Caleb. The boys and I were due for a night out so that meant the ladies would stay at home with the kids . I asked Cleo if I could go and have fun with the gang and she said; yes. .I worry about leaving her on her own but I know she's okay . She told me she would call if she needed anything; besides the gnawing feeling in my gut to cancel my plans with the guys and spend time with Cleo instead ...I acted on impulse and again I know she won't deny me anything so I decided to go.Carlo; Brent ,Nicolai , and I went in my car and Paul said he would meet us at Carlo's restaurant which was booked out for the night . Cleo was going to be alone but she p

CleoI really love surprises ; however this one was so unexpected .Angelo and I were having an argument that Gio walked in on. My heart broke when I saw him standing by the staircase with a face full of tears. I needed to vent because the last time Angelo was behaving the way he was the past couple of days had me worried. I also had to tell Angelo that I was pregnant. When I finally came around to telling him , he wanted to go public about it to our friends and when I disagreed he vilified me and apologized. What Giovanni saw was the middle of an apology. Being the kid he was he dragged me all the way to the garden and pool area where friends and family were . When I turned around, Angelo was on one knee asking me to marry him. He didn't tell me what he was planning and I always found out what he was up to because he is a bad liar. I didn't see this coming.

AngeloCooking has always been therapeutic for me and if I don't cook; I went downstairs to go stock up on food. Ever since Cleo happened, we have everything in order. The kitchen had labels and sections . Making lunch for Gio when he has school was easy.Cleo was knocked out cold because she was busy with the twins last night. I used to struggle on weeks that I had the twins over but now I don't because,I made up with my baby love. We had an early dinner because I wanted to take Cleo somewhere special so after cleaning up we hit the road to the estate where Clara and Brent lived . It was well secured and safe to raise kids there.The Perelli's lived there too

CleoFor the first time in a very long time I can breathe. I woke up next to Angelo and he was asleep. His sleeping patterns have returned to normal and so have mine . We spent the whole of wednesday doing what we loved together and by the time we got back home I hit lights out hard after I took a warm bath to soothe my achy muscles. We went indoor rock climbing at the adventure zone , paint ball shooting and did an obstacle course that required us to work as a team which took most of the day as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone .On Thursday we caught up on work that needed to be done and went shopping for Friday. All I knew was that; it was date night and Angelo wanted to take me out shopping, when I said no he went all moody and left me alone. When lunch time came around I called Angelo and

AngeloI am so blessed to have Cleo in my life. If yesterday has anything to go by I can't wait to marry her . I took the rest of the week off to plan the party and I made sure everything was kept secret . I was missing Cleo and for some sort of reason I was feeling cold . The air con temperature was set on twenty six.I slipped into my sweats and sneakers I had already showered this morning with Cleo before I was knocked out cold. The house was quiet... Way too quiet. I went downstairs to go make myself a cup of coffee and find out where my baby love was. I called Cleo and the phone just rang and I could hear the ring tone she just changes it according to how she feels. Just the other day it was BB Rexa -meant to be, and now I'm hearing Dua Lipa's. - One kiss. I ran upstairs to my study and I found t
