One month later
AngeloI am alive. I'm so thankful to God that I am alive . Remembering who I was before the head injury has been a tad bit difficult . I remembered Cleo and Giovanni . My mom and dad too. A lot has happened ; Duncan killed himself after shooting Nina . I found out when I had a heart to heart with Gio that he hid himself under one of the trap doors in the house and when he saw Duncan leave he saw Nina and called my father. While this was happening Cleo had alerted me when Duncan broke in that; she knew Duncan had done something wrong and when Duncan took the gun off the counter I tried to protect Cleo. The last thing I remembered was falling and hitting my head.
Cleo had gained a lot of weight and she still looked beautiful .We are having a baby boy and a girl. I still love Giovanni I'm all he has left . I've been going with himCleoThe past month has been hard on me ; not only physically , but emotionally too. It feels like I'm just being used. Don't get me wrong I get enough time in the day to work . I don't work for Paul anymore ; however Mr Massa hired me to work for the Communications department since the two companies merged and they decided to restructure. Jane left Nicolai for Paul . She called off the engagement to Nicolai after the accident. He opened up after a while when I asked him why he wasn't with Jane at a work function. Nicolai is a sweet guy , he's also protective over those he loves. We have become good friends and he's like a brother to me. Jane won't talk to me and Brendan moved away two months after Angelo was in hospital. I've learned to cope on my own ;since Rosa blames me for Angelo's injury amongst other things, she even suggested I sleep i
AngeloI read somewhere that regrets are kind acts we thought of ,but never really put them into action. Many things trigger regret . In my case tragedy has always triggered my feelings of remorse and guilt, mainly because I had caused the drama. This morning I woke up determined to find out why Cleo wasn't sleeping in the same bed as me. At some point I thought she wanted to break up with me. I thought she needed her space but I was so wrong. She didn't seem like herself this morning and even though our drive to the hospital was short, there was a lot to be said but there wasn't a lot of time. Cleo doesn't talk when something's wrong with her but she talks if it has to do with the babies. She passed out before we could walk in and she was taken to the O.R. Carl was with me when Cleo hit lights out. I can't get over the look she gave me before she closed her eyes, it was a look of fear mixed wi
AngeloEverybody keeps on telling me how fortunate I am to have Cleo in mylife. My father , three of my best friends and oh my girlfriend's newfriend Clara Perelli. Brent is the lucky one. I can see why Carlo wastorn up when he broke up with Clara. I always pretend to beindependent emotionally and otherwise. I have never shared what'smine until Cleo.She taught me a lot of stuff. I normally would keep quiet and keepanything that's bothering me inside; but she saw right through me and
CleoWe've all at some point have had trouble sleeping . We either have trouble with sleeping because we; worry too much, struggle to let go, or in is some cases anxious about what tomorrow brings. Sleep is important it gives you a chance to recharge, and dream ... More importantly it gives your sub-conscious to get rid of what's bothering you, so that you're in the right state of mind when you're awake.Sometimes it feels like you've been asleep forever and would like to wake up. You can do that ... Only when you're not sedated or hit lights out and don't know what's going on.I don't know how long I've been out for and in my heart I know my babies are okay . I really want to wake up but my
AngeloTHREE MONTHS LATERThe past couple of months have been the hardest. I've tried to sleep,but everything that happened; the week I did the unthinkable keepscoming back to haunt me, and to make matters worse I miss Cleo andshe still doesn't want to see me . The week she gave birth our babieswere put in NICU I had to wait a while before I could see them butI eventually got to see them . Our babies are Pisces twins born on the16TH of March. Pio looked like Cleo and Pia looked
CleoThe past couple of months have been hard on me emotionally and physically. When I woke up after my operation I found my mother by my side and my babies sleeping on the other end of the room. I've been a mother for three months now and I'm loving the experience. The sleepless nights are getting better though .The twins are staying at Rosa's for the weakened and Gio had his first sleepover which meant that I had the weekend off. I had done a great job in avoiding Angelo until yesterday. He hadn't stopped sending me flowers since the twins were born. He started also sending me gifts, when I went back to work . Yesterday he sent me red short stem roses in a square vase the Friday the day before that he sent me pink and white tulips which almost made me cry because the note attached read;I'm never going to
AngeloThe gang shooting on Friday evening wasn't a mistake. I knew it was planned . The only way to counteract b trouble is to know when its coming. Nico had warned me that there was fire on the mountain. After the week I had an accident. Thank goodness Paul and Carlo came to the rescue. I didn't want Cleo knowing about what really goes in at the club . I have to eventually tell her. I'm not using but I'm taking anxiety pills and on occasion sleeping pills if missing Cleo gets too much.I hadn't taken them all week so when the shooting happened I knew how to handle it. I'm still mad as hell at my father ; not for keeping my mother hidden , but for watching me almost die but I didn't he made sure I got the right help. It turns out the people
CleoWhen I woke up next to Angelo on Sunday morning, I didn't expect him to do what he did. The thing about him is that; he's always been predictable. I know what to expect with him because he is inflexible... When he says he's not budging , he won't budge , if he has an opinion it won't change. Something has to happen in order for him to see that he was wrong in order for him to bend. I usually challenge him but to keep him guessing is more fun .After breakfast three days ago ; he showed me a room he helped build for the twins. It was totally unexpected. Angelo made me cry tears of joy yesterday. My heart has always swelled with love for him; now its overflowing and flooding with so much
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. She had beautiful blue eyes and brunette hair like her son. I didn't see it before but now I know how Angelo got his dark features and beautiful heart. She had given me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before she started ta

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... Without you influencing my decisions... I love you but your dr
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
