When 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

AngeloThe hardest decision I've ever had to make was to choose between the woman I love and my family. I'm happy to have my mother back; but at what cost?Can't I just have both and be happy. Cleo was right about my mother . I didn't want to believe it at first but I saw it with my two eyes. Cleo took the baby bag and Pio with her because he started crying and my mother not only scared him but Cleo too. As soon as she stepped out I looked at my mother impassively."Don't look at me like that ."I sat down behind Cleo's desk and she had left her phone unlocked it looked like she was busy texting Clara..

CleoIts been a couple of days since the office incident.Rosa asked Angelo to leave me and the twins and he refused . I have dated outside my race and within my race but I have never had a lot of problems until recently. Rosa has put me through hell . Angelo didn't believe me at first and it hurt to the core that; he refused to see the fruit for the tree. Claudio had a meeting with Angelo on Friday morning. I was summoned upstairs by Blake and my stomach was in knots because I thought Rosa convinced MR Massa to let me go... When I walked into Angelo's office, the first thing I received was an apology and gratitude from Claudio. An apology for Rosa's behavior and attitude towards me and gratitude

AngeloCleo has been on edge since we flew down to Capetown. I remember reading in a section when I did a background on her that; she had an ex who lived here . I mean what are the odds of him cropping up and giving me a run for my money. I haven't seen how he looks like but he has the same name as the guy who sold me the house. He said he was coming over this morning to see if everything was okay .I woke up alone this morning and Cleo was next to me . It was a Sunday and I do remember last night... We didn't sleep angry at each other. Cleo promised to wake me up if she wakes up . She didn't do that this morning she was out cold snorining lightly on my chest. For the first time in a while I slept like a rock.Everyth

CleoI love dropping bombs when people aren't ready; rip the bandage off as quickly as I could to ease the blow , or push back a dislocated shoulder on the count of one insteadd of three. Angelo takes his time and I love him for that. He makes sure he does a good job with anything he does.I had a surprise Birthday breakfast planned for Angelo.We needed to get to the family restaurant on time and his mom was cooking . I don't know what changed but she's made it clear she didn't approve of my relationship with Angelo. It came as no surprise that my race was a factor. I wish we could find fair ground. The twins aren't to blame and Cloudio has been fair through the whole situation.

AngeloAny sort of rain is a good sign. I love rain, the smell of rain on soil is an amazing smell. It was lalready evening and Cleo hadn't shown up. She was supposed to be here four hours ago. The storm had already cleared and the sun had come out to play and so did everyone. Cleo said if she didn't make it on time;my mother would bring out the cake. I felt like a kid again. Ryan had been with Cleo's mother and the twins talking and it looked serious, Paul and the gang organised games and we also had a photo booth and graritude packs.I hacve to admit that something felt off and amiss. I felt like half of me was missing . My mother had caught me looking out to see if Cleo had come through and she looked at me with sad eyes and pointed upstairs . When I made it

CleoThere are days when I'm thankful. I am thankful for my family, friends, boyfriend and well my life. I was slowly coming around and the last thing I remember was feeling cold and in pain but now I'm warm. The environmet I was in was sterile but it felt like home. My body feels somewhat tired ... And sore. I opened my eyes and closed them; I tried to feel the side of my head anthed felt a bandage. I meantaly scanned my body and I could feel everything including pain. My tummy hurt pretty badly .I looked around and I saw him ... Who is he ? Who am I? Oh shucks the bump on my head must have affected my memory.I need to remember. Just now I said I was thankful for what and who? I feel so lost. I took in a sharp breath and the guy who was sitting at the foot of my bed woke up and came next to me .

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
