 Cleo It's my birthday and I'm growing another year older. Truth be told it feels as if I've lived so many lifetimes and survived the worst ... Or so I thought. Last week my mother in law threatened me and my son's life and to top it off I've been having nightmares about the time I lost Angelo's babies and the previous ocassions that I got held hostage; emotionally, physically ,and mentally by Rosa. Angelo has been trying to convince me that his mother won't come near us again. I just don't trust what he says where his mother is concerned. It's been a very strange week and it's not because I am growing old.  Angelo got rid of all the alcohol in the house. He has been on edge since the food poisoning incident and what transpired at the hospital. I have been waking up in cold sweats and Blue has been able to somehow remedy the pain I was feeling. I wasn't sure why I said yes to being married to him before; however the past co

 Cleo  Talking to my father in law was the best decision. I could have ever made. He didn't know that I had taken his son's last name ; and when I told him he was happy but his happiness was filled with trepidation meaning there was something I don't know that I ought to know ,because he told me about his extended family and the fight for the thrown . He said if anything were to happen to him I'd be caught in a war that I didn't start and what might have started out as an innocent love story between Angelo and me ; may turn out to be a tragedy because of my connections.  I have never shown anyone my client list . Even when I worked at Massa . I have only ever done PR related stuff at work and my side hustle dealt with scheduling content for clients that needed their products profiled and marketed to the right demographic. The latest person to file in a request was not from here and I've been iffy a

 Cleo  It has been three days since the office incident. When Angelo warned me about Mia I didn't listen. I kept her at arm's length for many reasons one of them being she has a wondering eye and once she sets her eyes on someone , she will do anything and everything to make sure they pay her attention. I think she is sick and she doesn't want to admit that she needs help. She has been slut shaming me and having me followed by one of her friends. The pictures she showed everyone were pictures that were taken in the week I noticed something offish with my email account and filing system. I had to set up new cloud account for storage and explain my filing system to her. She did what she was told my question was for how long because I wasn't taking any of her nonsense. I don't even trust her with my food and therefore I either order from Marc or go downstairs across the road to go eat my lunch , or make my own coffee in the staff kitchen .

 Cleo  On Sunday morning I woke up to news that my husband; who everyone thinks isn't my husband has a bit of fun after suspending me. I'm normally up at nine on a Sunday morning , but on that morning in particular I was feeling strange . Why did my husband lie to me about kissing Mia and did he just marry me for convenience sake ? I said yes to Angelo because; I saw him for who he was, a kind and gentle soul in need of saving. He had also become my best friend in the process ,and after everything we've been through I cannot believe what had just happened.  In the there years I've been with Angelo ; he has never not once lifted his hand at me , we've had out ups and downs and I'm not perfect niether is he . Nancy was resting next to Ava when I went upstairs still shocked at what the hell happened I knew that the Luca estate had a tunnel system I knew about but Angelo didn't. Even Daniel didn't tell him . Dan's house wa

 Cleo  There is nothing scarier than preparing for a disciplinary meeting for something you didn't do, that you were accused of. I was framed and I knew I was innocent but since my husband didn't believe me, and decided to have a night out with an old friend that turned out to be the same friend that was the cause of his previous marriage being torn apart, made Sunday newspaper headlines for all the wrong reasons , raised his hand at me , and scared the living daylights out of me ... I needed all the support I could get.  Angelo slept in our bed yesterday and I went to the guestroom. Nancy had called me because Ava was being restless again. After calming her down I told Nancy that it was okay too to call Angelo if I'm not around and she understood . When. She asked me if I was okay I shook my head and told her that I will be fine in good time . Angelo and I were going through flames. I left for work earlier on Monday m
