Escaping The CEO Chapter 9
Chapter 9CleoThey say curiosity killed the cat. I always say; curiosity might have killed the cat but the cat died satisfied... But then a cat has nine lives so it lived to tell the tale.I have many ways to cope when it comes to flashbacks that sometimes leave me on edge or shaken. I run , do cardio, self defense or yoga. I haven't seen Duncan in over three years and I guess I'm doing all right; more than all right because I think I like someone. I didn't lay any charges on Duncan , he was well off and he could afford a good lawyer that could discredit me on the stand. I never really liked him because of his status or money . I liked him for who he was or so I thought before he became controlling and promiscuous. When I called him out on his unsavory and unsanitary behavior, he flat out denied it, and funny thing is I made him wait as in I didn't give it up to him because I wasn't sure I wanted to at that stage of our relationship.

Chapter 10AngeloIf you never try you'll never know. That's what I tell myself when I take decisions concerning the heart. I have taken risks before. My now ex wife left me with a broken heart and took everything. The women that followed were a waste of my time until I found Cleo. I'm thankful to God for sending her my way. Something just feels right and she looked familiar ; as in I was with her in another lifetime. I had the strangest dream last night it felt like I was back in an era , the Roman era I was a king and Cleo was my queen from far away . I'm not crazy ;just the other day my father asked me if I had romantic feelings for Cleo. I can't lie to him so I came out with the truth. He promised to stay neutral and not tell my step mother. I've always set boundaries when it came to my personal life. She's meddlesome period. She already gave Cleo a hard time for no reason and Cleo was so forgiving of what happened on Friday morning. Asking Jane to give me her key for Cleo's apartm

Chapter 11 Cleo I love lunches . Family lunches are the best after Church; we have what we call seven colours,its all the colours you can think of that are edible and sometimes healthy. If you've ever been away of from home for a while. The one thing you look forward to is some good quality time with family and seven colors. The table looks like a feast of colors for the eyes and you know when something looks good and made with love your tummy starts dancing in a good way. You're spoilt for choice. On my plate however I would have ;green salad, carrots, broccoli, roasted potatoes, beans, beat root, and chicken breast without the skin or fish. I only ever visit red meat when I feel like it ; meaning if my iron levels are low or if I like you,I will force myself to eat it. I never have huge portions; because I have to make space for desert. I also don't eat pork; my tonsils always flared up as a kid. When they were removed I tried but I still can't . Desert is either custard and jell

Chapter 12 Angelo I'm in love. There I said it. I'm in love with a woman who is ; not of my class and race. It started out as a cord a strong connection in fact that developed into a bond within a matter of days. Even though we have merged our energies together; I fear losing her . Maybe Cleo might run but I will always want to protect her. I saw how my step mother looked at her and not only did I feel embarrassed but I was disappointed. My real mother would have loved her . My father and son do and that's enough for me . I cannot believe I'm sitting on the same table as my ex wife , her sister and my ex girlfriend. Thomas has been our neighbour for years ,we've been friends since I moved to South Africa he's sort of family and Paul is like the brother I've never had, funny enough he was with me when I first saw Cleo at the Market. He's dad and my dad are friends and we are best friends. When Gio mentioned that Thomas knew Cleo I was concerned. Not because he was hanging around my s

Chapter 13 Cleo I'm am a cardinal water sign with a Libra moon rising. I get along with other water signs, earth, fire ,and air. I have the twins in my chart they appear twice ,my card is the six of clubs and I constantly have to balance what I show on the surface, compared to what's really going on inside. In my numbers I have diplomacy and practicality . I have the two which means partnerships, four ; practicality and "stubbornness" , and six ... The caregiver and "pleasure seeker". Certain situations bring out reactions that could scare the hell out of people who don't get me. I'm am moody and I'm prone to very dark mood swings. I could appear happy on the surface but deep down inside I am fighting a battle. Imagine an ocean that looks calm on the surface however underneath there is a raging storm and what you see isn't exactly what's going on. I'm constantly fighting for calm, peace, sanity, control and patience. If I at any point feel that all five are threatened, I run away a

Chapter 14 Angelo I've always been cautious with my heart . Truth be told I have been called many things from; stubborn, stuck up , heartless , ice Prince and many other words. I am capable of love and loving unconditionally. My track record of women I've been with does exist; but this however is different and its not because I've lost Giovanni to my ex wife. Cleo wants me to go and see someone with regards to dealing with bereavement. I've gotten so used to waking up and eating breakfast, making lunch , and having dinner with Gio. I was a very hands on father I went through his notices, did homework with him and every now and then Sophia his teacher would drop me a note. Sophia cheated on me with Duncan after she found out what I did in my past. I was hired to do a lot of stuff by these people. The last job I did for them was on the same day I saved Cleo. She had lost a lot of blood when I found her on the side of the road. I didn't see her then but she looks better and more beauti

Chapter 15 🚨 This chapter contains Smut content. 🚨 Cleo Allow me to introduce myself; Hi my name is Cleopatra Kwena. I'm a black South African woman and I love my chocolate white. There I said it. However color has never mattered to me because we fall in love with souls . I just have a preference , reason being I've dated within my race but I always find myself attracted to white guys. I can't explain it . It's not psychological and its not because of our history. I went to a Catholic convent school where we were taught it was okay to be friends with someone who's not of your colour . I'm in love with a guy who's out of my league and has everything sussed out. I barely have my life sorted out and he just had to come walking in making me feel feelings that are foreign. I know love , I've experienced it but this is on another level. I don't know how we are connected but we are. This is the fastest I've ever made a relationship official. My story is sort of a textbook case real

Chapter 16 Angelo Forgiveness is a beautiful gift. I always used to think that I was not worthy of forgiveness; until my father said he forgave me for going out on that fateful night and told me he was thankful to God that I was alive. Being pardoned brings about a feeling of freedom , for the person giving the redemption and the person receiving. I had to learn to forgive myself first before I could accept that I had no control over what happened. I couldn't predict what was going to happen that night . Cleo knows one of my secrets. I have already told her that I love her and I mean it from the depth of my soul. Making love to her lights my body up in ways unimaginable. I feel alive and she doesn't know that she owns me and has my heart . I don't want to cause her any hurt or put her through any heart ache or heartbreak. I'd rather hurt than see her cry. I know I have to tell her about what I did in the past. She will know I just need time. Before I went to mass I stopped by the

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...

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.

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 .

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.

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
