Angelo

Daniel is a reliable guy and we have become the best of friends. I had a really bad start to my day and I was moody for some sort of odd reason. I guess I was still mad at Cleo for not telling me Marc was sending her the flowers and that we both left things on a bad note. Pio and pia continuously asked me if I loved Cleo , and truth be told I love her and still want her to be my wife . 

My mother has been booked into a mental facility. It was either that or jail time for kidnapping Cleo. I still love her and I love my wife to be even more. As for Sophia she was given a job she couldn't refuse and that was in another province since she had a bounty on her head for helping my mother out. I was held in a holding cell with heaven knows what cooked up people I was locked up with ,when I heard my name being called . The first thing I asked was ; where were my children and the answer I got was an apology for wrongfully arresting me, and that the officer that arrested me was ill informed. After throwing a fit and telling them that heads will roll for what they did; I was given everything back including my children who were confused and scared . When we walked out we were met by Salvatore who didn't seem like himself when he told us he would be taking us home and that my car was going to get checked out because they didn't think it was safe . He also told me that Daniel had an emergency at work and that he'd check up on me and the kids at his house later . When we made it to the estate I was a bit confused when Salvatore took me to Daniel's house instead of my home .

I actually missed Cleo and I wanted to say that; I was sorry for what happened this morning and what has been happening . I also didn't want to fight anymore. I wanted to actually hold her , hug her , touch her, kiss her, spoil her and love her the way she deserved to be loved... We are having a baby girl after all and it's a blessing and gift that I am thankful for . 

Nancy and Florence had taken the kids to go get ready for dinner and bed and Salvatore was being nice to me which was a first he always kept his distance . After getting cleaned up I tried to switch on my phone which was off for the better part of the day because I didn't want to be disturbed and I was deliberately ignoring Cleo because I was so mad at her. I love her so much but I don't know how or when my mother contacted her , but she found out that I knew where she had been all along. Truth be told Daniel also knew where she was and because of doctor patient confidentiality he couldn't say anything. My mother also likes Daniel and he told me the other day that he struggles to understand why my mother hates Cleo so much, and if he was in the same situation he would have tried to keep the peace between Cleo and my mother. He did voice out his irritation and madness for what she did but my mother wasn't in control and he understood. I needed to also let my dad handle my mother. He had done so for years and she was okay and now that they have broken up, I don't know what's going to happen to the only effective antidote to my mother's two personalities .I changed into a pair of clean clothes that Salvatore gave me and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. He had given me a pair of black track pants and a blue sweat shirt The kid's were not ready yet and my phone seemed to be vibrating from the charging plate .I picked it up and checked all my messages.

I always mark Cleo as important; and everything with regards to calls, and texts as well as any form of messaging because she is my number one . I was about to open her thread of messages when I heard my baby boy mumbling. When I looked up at him he started screaming

" Mama trouble!"

I ran to the foot of the stairs and took him from Nancy's arms and she looked like she was having a hard time getting him to calm down. He immediately calmed down when I gave him a hug and a kiss . I sat him next to me on the window couch and played the message Cleo gave me.

" Blue I know you are mad at me. I'm also mad at you but I need you to come home as soon as you can."

The line went dead and I was a bit confused so I dialed her number ;but there was no answer . I tracked her phone and the app told me that she was at home and I needed to go see her .

I looked at my son and he seemed sad.

" Daddy no love me and mama anymore ?"

I slipped my phone in my pocket and gave my boy a hug and a kiss

" I love both of you and Pia Danilo . You are my world and I am sorry if I had you thinking otherwise my angel."

Pio climbed on my leg and held on to my neck.

" love you hug."

"I love you too hug."

Salvatore came down and I could hear him running from where we were seated.

" Massa I just had a call from Daniel . "

The look on Salvatore's face gave him away before he could say anything.

" What's the matter is it Cleo?"

My heart started beating faster and it was thumping against my chest so hard because I was nervous. Salvatore looked at me and a flash of sadness passed through his eyes. He really does care about her and now I see why .

"Yes he just told me to come with you and leave the kids behind. Something terrible happened to Cleo and Ava we need to go now. "
