Brent
I've had many sleepless nights...
The night I lost my mother, the night I lost Laura , the night Andrea took a turn for the worst, and the months when I thought my marriage was over , the night my wife and son were kidnapped and before that, the night I thought I had lost Clara after I lied to her and then made up only to realize she took a bullet for me .
On the night Clara got shot I realized the importance of my name and influence it had .
It was hard enough finding out I wasn't a Valdez but finding out that I was half Carlyle and Perelli turned my world on its head .
Carl always kept to himself cause he had told me at one point that Dad thought I wasn't ready to hear everything with regards to the family but I would soon.
I knew that my father was involved in stuff that was dangerous and he told me that he didn't want me to get caught

34ClaraPeople often say ;you never forget your first love , but truth be told you can never forget who taught you love , made you feel loved, experience love, make love, and give love unconditionally in return. I've always said making love has more to do than just sex .It is the combination of two energies fusing together to create life and love. I have a rule ;you have to know and trust the person you're "making love to " as much as yourself . Communication and honesty is always key . You don't learn how to speak with out words overnight or hear someone's heart without them saying a word. Loving someone unconditionally requires understand and patience .The person you want to be with should compliment and not complete you . You should be a whole being by yourself . I'm also human. I'm a woman too. I have my insecurities ; I freak out sometimes either cause I feel like I'm not thin enough,exciting

ClaraThe day told Carlo me he loved me ;was the second best day of my life . If I said first I would be lying and Brent would lose it cause in all honesty my wedding day and night was the best but above all that when I gave birth to both my children who I love to Pluto and back .So I guess it's the third most best day.When Carlo said love he meant love . He was very patient with me and I with him . What made us work at that point in time was the level of love, respect, and appreciation we had for each other . We had already communicated via mail for the first month of our relationship but all in all I thought Ally liked him but she didn't she was in love with Gio .Following our secret meetings and occasional dates, which led to me moving in temporarily with Carl and switching houses to the new one he built, we pretty much had the makings of a college couple madly in love . Except for one thing we hadn't slept together Althoug

ClaraThe heart has a way of healing itself. No matter how bruised, or broken ; our ability to love even when it hurts helps with the healing processes. Everything heals eventually;physically or emotionally .To know that you are loved is the best feeling ever. You were either held by someone in your darkest hour , meant something to someone when you felt like nothing or you gave love and melted a heart of ice . Fact is you opened up your heart to love.We all have reasons as to why we do what we do or react in certain situations. Life happens we can't control it ; how we respond and react can make a difference .Andrew's grandfather was with him when Brent and I made our way back to his hospital room Seppi smiled when he saw both Brent and me enter the room .

ClaraThere is a reason why things are kept under lock and key, and why lovers become friends .Things are kept under lock and key for safety ...or they are kept under lock and key and hidden so that no one can find them .However for lovers who become friends there is an unspoken rule that always remains after the fire and rain. When you say; I love you. It means that I have your back , call me I will pick up , knock at my door at two in the morning crying I will be there for you and anytime you need to talk I am here... But only as friendsCarlo and I made a promise to each other when we became official. If ever we grew apart we'd still be there for each other for support .

BrentJealousy ; that ugly green eyed monster that crops up every time you think you have everything sussed out, under control, and safe. I have to admit I get insanely envious and It can sometimes lead to regret for doing what I did for fear of abandonment, seeing someone as a rival or losing what's mine.I've seen my own brother as a rival and threat before. Never have I ever trusted him around my wife, because he always gave off a vibe that he wants her and he would do anything. Some connections are unbreakable; given circumstance and event . Yesterday my father asked me if I ever wanted to be an uncle. When I said yes he directly told me that Clara and Carl's son was alive . Carlo knew nothing and it was for the best because doing what he did then was for the best. He needed to save all three lives and the accident happened at the right time . The same people who had threatened to kill Clara and Caleb were the same People t

ClaraI believe that we are all capable of getting the best of everything, if we just focus on the blessing every lesson has to offer . Sometimes it's easier said than done . There is a saying that has always stuck with me throughout the years and during the times I needed all the support I could get when we lost Caleb; Through darkness there is light , broken hearts will mend, and one day you will look back and understand why it happened. Sometimes it takes a bit longer for the sun to break, broken hearts mend, it may take a while but they heal. However shattered hearts are a different kind of strain .The remedy is available but the ingredients are scarce. Time always reveals why we went through a test and the lessons we are learning may guide us to something unexpectedly good. You will come to the realization that if what happened didn't happen you would have never been on the path to fulfill your destiny.Even through the mo

ClaraFor the longest of times I've believed that feelings are only sensations felt inside and the rest of the time what we touch in terms of the sensation of different textures are just feelings . Then I grew up. I came to the conclusion that all our senses are connected to our feelings ; be it nostalgic or poignant .The experience is what makes any feeling or memory worth keeping or letting go. The scars, tattoos or memorabilia are proof that you went through an experience or event .The experience is uniquely yours and no one can take it away from you, good or bad it becomes part of you in some way . Eventually your sense of perception and awareness sharpens and you are able to sense what someone is feeling and what they are going to day before they say it . Perception is connected to sensitivity. If you feel deeply about a situation or a person you can relate and empathize and hopefully ease the pain or heal a wounded soul.
