 Cleo It's my birthday and I'm growing another year older. Truth be told it feels as if I've lived so many lifetimes and survived the worst ... Or so I thought. Last week my mother in law threatened me and my son's life and to top it off I've been having nightmares about the time I lost Angelo's babies and the previous ocassions that I got held hostage; emotionally, physically ,and mentally by Rosa. Angelo has been trying to convince me that his mother won't come near us again. I just don't trust what he says where his mother is concerned. It's been a very strange week and it's not because I am growing old.  Angelo got rid of all the alcohol in the house. He has been on edge since the food poisoning incident and what transpired at the hospital. I have been waking up in cold sweats and Blue has been able to somehow remedy the pain I was feeling. I wasn't sure why I said yes to being married to him before; however the past co

 Angelo I've had trouble sleeping soundly before , and it is never an easy journey to reaching a point where you can sleep deeply and feel like you're well rested . It was Cleo's Birthday eve yesterday and I had a lot of things to plan and do. I had asked her if she wanted a party and she said; no she'd rather just spend it with family only and she didn't feel like celebrating with friends.  The incident last week has her shook and not in a good way .

 Cleo  Talking to my father in law was the best decision. I could have ever made. He didn't know that I had taken his son's last name ; and when I told him he was happy but his happiness was filled with trepidation meaning there was something I don't know that I ought to know ,because he told me about his extended family and the fight for the thrown . He said if anything were to happen to him I'd be caught in a war that I didn't start and what might have started out as an innocent love story between Angelo and me ; may turn out to be a tragedy because of my connections.  I have never shown anyone my client list . Even when I worked at Massa . I have only ever done PR related stuff at work and my side hustle dealt with scheduling content for clients that needed their products profiled and marketed to the right demographic. The latest person to file in a request was not from here and I've been iffy a

Birthday sex should be everyday ... Well occassionally... Once a month on your birthdate I will make it a rule.  I had a hard time convincing Cleo to come back to Massa . She was reluctant at first but I managed to get her to jump on board. The move came with her losing half her client list. That included my cousin, and a couple of associates who were Massa enemies.

Mia started working for the compa

 Cleo  It has been three days since the office incident. When Angelo warned me about Mia I didn't listen. I kept her at arm's length for many reasons one of them being she has a wondering eye and once she sets her eyes on someone , she will do anything and everything to make sure they pay her attention. I think she is sick and she doesn't want to admit that she needs help. She has been slut shaming me and having me followed by one of her friends. The pictures she showed everyone were pictures that were taken in the week I noticed something offish with my email account and filing system. I had to set up new cloud account for storage and explain my filing system to her. She did what she was told my question was for how long because I wasn't taking any of her nonsense. I don't even trust her with my food and therefore I either order from Marc or go downstairs across the road to go eat my lunch , or make my own coffee in the staff kitchen .

I was in bed wide awake watching her sleep .Preliminary investigations had proved that she was innocent and that she was being framed It was five in the morning and I didn't want to leave my wife but I had to go. She must have had a hectic couple of days , but she managed to do other things for a little while without me hindering her. I snuck out of bed and went to check on my little princess Ava; she was fast asleep . I then went into Cleo's study to go video call the twins . They were awake.

She put them within my view. They
