I don't like change and I don't like it when things change. This has been the longest three days ever . On Wednesday morning I woke up to an empty bed ; no sign of Cleo , just the memory of transpired on Tuesday evening before she left the next morning. The sheets smelled of her and since it was winter the fragrance of J'adore hung in the room . That included the scent of her shower gel. I am already in trouble with missing her when she is around , now that she is not around, and I'm not waking up to her raidiant smile and adorable laugh I'm having a difficult time .
I had taken the whole week off and I thought it was going to be an epic week with the family, but now I'm back to square one. It feels like the time the twins were born and Cleo had made sure I couldn't see her... That was better because I could send her a text and she'd respond . I have nothing to a

CleoIt was the day before Ellie's wedding and as much as my brother was in denial about not being in love with her ; we finally talked and he saw that it was better to let go of Ell. I had told him that if it was meant to be it will not pass you by and it will come back . My own brother told me to take my own advice and go back to Angelo and tell him the truth before the five days were up . I wanted more days to digest what I did, only family knew except for Angelo.We decided to have Ellie and Max's party before they get married at a secluded restaurant that had unsigned singers singing. They both didn't want to have a bachelor's or bachelorette party. We had arrived first and the boys followed . Within five minutes I was arguing with Marc. It was an argument about him kissing me the other day when I hadn't given birth to Ava and how Angelo is undeserving of me. I defended Angelo and he pointed out the fac

AngeloThe past two weeks have been hard on me; not only emotionally but business wise too. The explosion caused more harm than good. It earned Mia a one way ticket to a mental institution and a long lecture . I was afraid to tell Cleo that I can't forgive myself because my mother was behind what had happened. She has influence and the kind of influence she has over people is really potent . If Cleo knew she would be asking a lot of questions I don't have the answers to... I hate keeping stuff from her. I came back to the Luca estate with her so that I could be close to her and Ava and keep an eye on them . Financially Massa was stable but the communications department brought in a lot of money. Cleo knew how things worked and keeping her in the dark wasn't something I wanted to get used to. I couldn't take it. So when I got up this morning at nine ;I called my dad to tell him what had been going on and how much it was hurting me to treat my

I really missed her and I

What I cannot get over and believe is what she did to Pio and me . Rosa knew someone in the kitchen staff and I should have known that the suggestion to have some tea and cake as a peace offering was a trap. I've known Carl before I knew Angelo and he has always been the kindest soul I've ever come across. I always went to go get Ruth her lunch at his restaurant and like Nicolai before we found out where his loyalties lay he is like a brother to me .The night before I ended in hospital I was fine.
