Chapter 72 CleoI don't think I can keep big secrets  or stay quiet about something that's bothering me for long periods of time. Keeping secrets sometimes feels like a ticking time bomb  that's about to explode, and cause devastation .I knew I was keeping something serious from Angelo and I knew it before he saved me from Matteo and Salvatore went down a path that ended up fatal for him .  I wasn't talking to Daniel because he was out working and Romano  knew something wasn't okay at the funeral . He managed to get me alone when Angelo was bringing the car around.   He is as sharp as a whip in figuring out anything , especially when it concerns his family and either one of his son's well-being.When Romano passed the comment about me really loving his son I knew it was a heavy handed and loaded question . It was heavy handed because it was something I was avoiding  and it was serious and to be confronted about it only m

Chapter 74 Cleo  There is an Italian proverb that I like; "He who finds a friend has found a treasure"It didn't make sense to me until I became good  friends with Carlo . He had always been friendly towards me and has proven to be a reliable friend and now bodyguard because Angelo doesn't trust me to come back home since I took an impromptu trip to Johannesburg . I can't dead with my  feelings directly and tell someone what's going on in my head and my heart , I need time to process what I'm feeling and why . Keeping secrets from Angelo was never a thing , but keeping this secret has just made me more sad that I have to tell him the truth and risk possibly losing him to a woman that ; to be honest appeared to be friendly but turned out to be as sneaky as a lizard.  They say you can never tell when a sneak attack is coming your way , you can only hope that when the blow is dealt you can remedy

Chapter 76  Cleo There was a point in my life where the only thing I had to worry about was what I had to do to prepare for work the next day . I knew that I had to make sure that everything was in order , and that I could control any situation no matter the outcome because I had contingency plans in place. I knew that no matter the size of the curve ball ; I was going to be able to counter the attack . The past few days have proven one thing and one thing only , I don't have any control and therefore I always need to be on the look out for anything that might seem odd or suspicious, and I have to constantly look over my shoulder because of the recent threats that the family I work for has recieved from another family who's surname I carry. I don't like being caught in the middle.  Apart from the fact that I was packing my bags for the second time this week, I was fighting with my husband a

Chapter 78  Cleo  Over the years I’ve learnt to gage if something is offish ; and being with Angelo it seems like I have a knack for sensing the unusual. I get  where he is coming from in terms of me being friends with my Ex’s . As if it wasn’t bad enough that I was working with Juan who was liked  by everyone  including ; Romano ,and mister I turn green with jealousy when any guy tries to take you away from me  Angelo ,  I have to deal with Angelo being something he isn’t … which is being insecure in my  loyalty towards him.  Venting out my frustrations to Daniel  has proven never to work because he is generally neutral  when it comes to the arguments that Blue and I have .  When I asked Angelo when  Carlo was coming back; something in me had clicked . If someone like Carl has always been perfect and done things right , that

Chapter 80 Cleo    There are some things husband's shouldn't know . I have been with Angelo for the past four years, and I don't want him knowing what I do with my money. When we drew up the pre nuptial agreement we both had an agreement that the only thing that should be shared are the kid's accounts and the trust funds .    We both haven't had any problems until he decided to tell Carl, to look into my finances . I called Carl out and he came clean. I don't want my fights with Angelo to revolve around finances. I was smart with the money I had and over the years it grew .    When I found out about Matteo selling everything to do with Massa at less than its Market value I didn't pay any attention , until Bryan called me to ask me what the hell was going on? He was in a state initially and by the time I got him to calm down , I got my lawyers look into the mess that Matteo had created , because peo
