Chapter 69
It happened so fast; one minute I was having ice cream with Gio outside by the pool ,the next Rachel was charging towards us and shooting. Giovanni is like a son to me and I love him as much as I love Pio and Pia . All I remember was that;
I jumped across the table to protect Gio,and Mr Massa shot me by mistake trying to shoot Rachel . I remember the piercing pain I felt on my abdomen and nothing after that. I was taking a trip out of town to think clearly and on my way I stopped to tell Gio and the Massa's I was going to another province for a couple of days to ; clear my head and figure out if I wanted to marry Angelo . I had left him a letter that I wrote saying;
"Dear Blue
By the time you read this letter I will be gone. I was sure when I said yes. Now I'm not so sure. I need time to think... Without you influencing my decisions... I love you but your dr

Escaping The CEO Prologue
Prologue Cleo There is always something calming, cleansing, rejuvenating, and healing about water. The ocean has always been a place of refuge for Cleo. She loved any body of water and it came as no surprise when she made a decision to save up for a holiday, she chose a location by the coast. The sea was calming because she could always get lost her thoughts and watch the ebb and flow of the ocean and just let go of what was stressing her, the ripples of an ocean or lake always put her at ease and at one with herself and the universe. Nothing also could compare to; a good old fashioned shower, or bubble bath after a long day and relaxing with a glass of red wine, and dinner by the ocean. There had been times when Cleo wanted to drop everything and just run away... far away to a place that she dreamed of but didn't exists, away from failed dreams and boring routines. At least when she went far away from home she could take off the different masks and hats she wore to adapt to the k
Escaping The CEO Chapter 1 - Change
CHAPTER 1 Change Cleo Change is good it allows you to grow; if you are willing to be flexible and roll with the tide, and look at how you can evolve. Sometimes change can be bad if you don't have a backup plan, you either have to start from the bottom or in some cases you don't know where to start and you feel overwhelmed. It's okay to break apart; but we as humans aren't built to break. We can bend and adapt, but what remains unbreakable is our spirit to fight until we win. The past week at work has been hectic. The CEO told us on Monday morning in a meeting that the there are going to be changes and we should wait till Friday... Can Friday please come sooner, I really need a break. My boss Ruth; has been so excited lately and it's not because she is giving me a raise, however it has to do with the bosses son. All I've been hearing lately is how she wants to kiss him everywhere, and how he can touch her anywhere. She doesn't realize she's already playing a role she hasn't audition

Chapter 2AngeloThe universe has a way of bringing you what you want ; not at the time you want it but at the right time when you need it the most. At a point in my life when I thought I couldn't fall in love , I fell hard and nothing could compare to being drawn to someone who just gets you in more ways than one. You just Click and snap out of pretend mode into authenticity mode. The real thing feels real and you don't have to fake what you feel or force anything... You just allow connections to strengthen and love to flow .This by far has been the longest ten days of my life; and it's not because my father is deciding to call it a day and hand over the family business to me ,or the fact that my son is worried sick about me and doesn't want me to go to work. No ... This has to do with what happened two weeks back.It was a normal Saturday and my son was with his grandfather for the weekend. Well he goes to him every weekend and It's going to be longer now because I will be busy with

Chapter 3 Cleo There are days when you know what's going on. How everything is going to go , what to do , when to do it, what's going to happen and more importantly how will your day end. When I woke up this morning I knew my day was going to be hectic . I'd get to work and make sure Ruth had everything sorted out , including her diary, brunch since I know she strolls in at noon and leaves four hours later, and reminders. The only time she comes in and leaves at normal times is when we have meetings or department review days . I normally bring her up to speed with what's going on and What she needs to do and where she needs to be. In actual fact I do her job for her. I also come in on weekends to back up some of the stuff she doesn't do. I woke up this morning doing what needed to be done . I didn't care much about Angelo coming to the department and besides Ruth knew something was up with me and the boss's son she didn't want me around , mainly cause she saw me as a threat to he
