 Angelo  I looked at Cleo and all I could do was cry. I'm a grown man who'd rather be angry than admit to feeling any sort of emotion that makes me look week . Part of me was scared that Cleo wasn't in any mood to negotiate. She doesn't deal with threats and this is the first time that she has given me an ultimatum that could hurt me ... Infact I am hurting as we speak. We just had a beautiful baby girl and out family was growing. Apart from the fact that the twins birthday was two weeks away and they were turning three ;I was just thankful that they were safe and ok so was their mother and sister.  By the time we were able to go home Ava was still in NICU and Cleo was recovering well . Daniel had perfect timing because I didn't respond to Cleo's suggestion that we spend some time apart. She also didn't protest when I fell asleep right next to her on our bed . Daniel was keeping a close eye on Ava and he wanted Cleo to

AngeloI'm stone cold sober . I've been stone cold for the past year or so . I just messed up one time and it feels as if I am losing the only good thing I have going on. I've been the Angelo I love ; my family loves , my wife to be loves, my kids love and the Angelo I love . I had organised a party for the twins on Sunday and told Cleo we would celebrate it as a family on Monday eve which was the main day. While Cleo was sleeping I received a call from Mia Perelli. Brent wasn't in town and she had gotten herself in trouble with the wrong gang . I had left Cleo alone with the kids and it didn't feel right . Mia is like my little sister / friend . I have never had romantic feelings towards her and vice versa. I also never told her about Cleo ; Ava and the twins because I knew she'd find a way to get to Cleo. I knew her . As soon as I took her upstairs to my penthouse she was so shaken that she raided my liquor cabinet and swept through it like a tornado. S

.Angelo  Numb ... numb is all I feel right now because; no matter how many times I try to protect the ones I love something sinister happens to them . It was supposed to be the happiest day, for both the twins and my wife to be... Basically for the whole family because it was the kid's birthday. Instead I am dealing with our cleaning team ; the blue brigade ,red brigade and a family that is shook.  There was a shooting at my father's Villa . Nicolai and Daniel got caught in the crossfire, both were seriously injured and they were air lifted to hospital . We couldn't find the twins Ava and my father . After Nicolai called, Cleo came with me to the Villa for safety because I didn't want to let her out of my sight. She was with me when we were bri

 Angelo If there is something I've learned about Cleo is that; when she threatens something, she has already thought it through... for the fact that she said what she said when I was about to punch Marc , and when she threatened to call off everything unless I gave her space . I cannot lose her or our babies. Its already taken so much patience on my part not to let her go. She's worth every fight. Including the one with my mother. Who has been surprisingly quiet.  I had informed the driver of the Jeep to drive us to the Massa estate which was thirty minutes away from the Luca estate .  I was giving Cleo the silent treatment, and I had so much to say to her... I just hope I didn't hurt her in anyway when I threw her in the car . She was looking outside the window with her legs crossed looking away from me, with her chin on her palm, breathing steadily , lost in thought. The car

 Angelo  I love Cleo and she knows it. I know deep down that she loved me and that our love isn't defined by whether or not we are married. Mother's day breakfast didn't go as planned but I am still thankful to have my family home under one roof .Before we went to bed Cleo encouraged me to call my mother and wish her happy mother's day. When I called her she told me ; thank you .  She even wished me happy birthday for tomorrow and told me to tell Cleo ;thank you and that she is sorry for all the pain she has caused. I told her that our twins were on edge to the point where they are both afraid when either of either of us leaving even if it's across the hall .It takes longer to get either of them to sleep and when they finally sleep they wake up panicked .  I had decided to take the week off for my birthday and given the eventful day we had with regards to the twins and Ava when I finally got C
