Our Secret Identities Chapter 156 – Hire a Bookkeeper
Simone was sitting in her office Friday morning, going over her financial reports with Tiffany. Tia had paid for the photoshoot from the previous weekend and Tiffany had just finished transferring the money into Jonathon and Matilda’s accounts. “Do we need to hire a bookkeeper to keep on top of the bookwork?” Simone asks as Tiffany clicks off the accounting program on her laptop.“Between all the new models we just signed and invoices for photoshoots and runway shows we did; we might” Tiffany replies, getting up out of her seat. “We are busy with obtaining new gigs, let alone trying to pay everyone on time.”“I’ll ask Emmett the best way to go about hiring a new bookkeeper” Simone says as her office door swings open and Richard walks through it with Emmett and Sandy.“Ricky” Tiffany reacts, walking over to give him a hug. Vince, Tiffany and Richard spoke at the hospital. They have a better friendship now because of Richard’s reaction in the fire. They concluded they wouldn’t be best f

The auction was being held in one of the reception rooms at the Plaza Hotel. It was a secret auction, and people could place their bids with a lot number they were allocated on a card, before placing it in the box situated next to the items they wanted.“We are sitting on table 3 with Caitlyn, Lester, Rick, Jase, Sandy and Beck. I’m not sure who is taking the other two seats” Simone says, scrolling down the list of names on the seating board. “Ugh; it’s Cheryl and Paul. Of course, it is” she concludes sarcastically.“Is this someone’s idea of a joke?” Richard states coming up behind Emmett and Simone with Sandy. Jason, Rebecca, Lester and Caitlyn walk through the main door behind them.“They probably saw Peterson and decided to sit us together” Emmett responds, giving a shrug. “I won’t be acknowledging him. Everyone else can if they want.”Heading into the main reception room; the group find their table before moving their way around the items being auctioned. Emmett could feel eyes f

Taking their seats around the table; Lester leans into Caitlyn; “What took yo…” “Not now” Caitlyn says, turning to face the front as the auctioneer comes forward to the microphone.“Welcome everyone” Miranda chimes, smiling over at Emmett. “My name is Miranda Keller and I will be holding the auction today” she continues. “I want to thank Berry and Sterling Management for getting this auction organised. We have some great items donated by your local businesses. The way this auction will work; everyone should have placed your bids for what items you wish to purchase. They will go into the system and I will call out as each bid comes up on the screen. You may pay the price you stated; you may not. If there are no bids; the bidding will be opened to the room. Grab you paddles from the middle of the table and let the auction begin.”“Is it me or has she been crying?” Paul asks, grabbing his paddle as the others turn to look at Miranda.Lester looks over to Emmett; “didn’t notice” he says a

“What do you need to speak to me about?” Emmett asks, pursing his lips at Lester. Lester takes in a deep breath and relays what Caitlyn told him. Emmett’s eyes grow dark, staring at Miranda packing up her things.Storming towards her; “we need to talk” he seethes, grabbing Miranda by the wrist and heading to the back of the stage. “You came here to break Simone and myself up?” Emmett yells at her; rage coming through his words. “I didn’t think you could stoop so low, Mira. Of all people; you knew our relationship was strictly sex. Regardless things changed for you; they haven’t for me. We’re over. We were always over” he snarls, walking back out to the main reception area. “We’re leaving” he screams at Simone, grabbing her arm.“What the fuck’s going on?” Simone yells, trying to pull her arm out of Emmett’s grip.“Emmett; I’m sorry” Miranda yells, running after him; tears streaming down her face. “If I had known Simone was preg…” “It wouldn’t have made any difference. I’m sorry Nick w

The following morning; Emmett got out of bed early. He was tossing and turning all night and didn’t want to disturb Simone any more than he had. Walking into the kitchen he grabs a strong cappuccino pod from the pantry and proceeds to make himself a coffee. “What does this bitch have against Simone?” he murmurs to himself. “She caused all the issues herself because she couldn’t handle a little competition” he continues to mumble as he hears Simone come into the kitchen behind him.“Is everything ok?” She asks, putting her arms around Emmett’s waist.“No, it’s not” Emmett states, taking his coffee and walking into the loungeroom, to sit on the sofa. “I thought I knew Miranda, turns out I didn’t. For what, a bit of fun on the other side of the world before you and I were together. And I’m pissed at Angela for bringing her here, hoping I would do something behind your back or worse.”“You said Miranda’s husband was killed” Simone says, taking in a deep breath. “She was probably holding o

Monday morning, Simone and Emmett walked into the Lester Drake Media building. Emmett was meeting with Stuart and Roger with Jason and Rebecca; whilst Simone was meeting with Sonia and Raymond. Emmett had Greg fly Raymond in, especially for a combined interview with her regarding what Angela had done. She asked Electra and Mark if they would collaborate her stories and both agreed. Ashleigh was sent to Lively Design Studio to interview Mark as another journalist, Lorraine from Glory magazine was conducting a phone interview with Electra.“Come through” Simone states, ushering Sonia and Raymond to her office. “Sonia, we are now ready to disclose what issues we were having with Angela Berry. She is going to be hit hard in the media; as of today.”“What exactly did she do?” Raymond asks, taking out a voice recorder as Simone puts a finger up to indicate for him to wait a moment before hitting record.“Off the record; she pissed Drake off” she giggles, sitting down in her chair. “Now you

First and foremost before you start reading this chapter. I want to apologise to my readers for not updating for a few days. The broadband internet in the area went down and you don't realise how much you have something until it is taken away from you. It's still playing up but I should be able to get updates to you now.Sitting down behind her desk, Simone opens her emails; ‘Emmett did it to me. Let me repay the favour’ she laughs in her mind. Sending an email to Drake and Lester; ‘your presence is required for a meeting in my office.’“What do you want Miranda?” Simone questions, narrowing her eyes at the woman in front of her as a knock comes on the office door. “Come in Caitie” she calls out as Caitlyn and Katrina walk into the room. “You’ve met Caitlyn and this is Katrina; my bodyguard. Please forgive us if we don’t trust you.”“I’m not here to hurt you” Miranda gasps as Simone reads the message Emmett sent back. ‘We are in the middle of conducting the interview with Beck; is it

“You need to tell me what the fuck happened” Lester shouts, more of a demand than a question. He was getting agitated about being kept in the dark regarding Caitlyn and started to rub his temples. ‘I can feel a migraine coming on’ he says to himself.“Alexandro got a bit too handsy when I was in London” Caitlyn begins as Lester’s eyes grow dark. “I called Angela to tell her. She said as he was the designer and I was being paid by him I needed to comply with what he wanted.”“Alexandro?” Miranda comments, letting out a gasp recognising one of the UK’s top fashion designers. “As in Alexandro Giovanni from Giovanni Boutiques?”“The one and only” Simone giggles, moving from Emmett’s lap. “He likes to cop a feel whenever he is doing alterations. Part of the stipulation to work with female models; he needs to have cameras in the fitting area where he works. The models should know about them.”“It’s signed. There are cameras for our safety as well as theirs. Not in the change rooms; only in

Our Secret Identities Epilogue
It’s been three years since Simone and Emmett were married. The pair had grown together over the time and the family got bigger with a new arrival six months ago; Lauren Josephine Peterson. Thankfully there was no surprises of a second baby during the delivery.“Are you ready for our special evening?” Emmett calls from the living room as Simone walks out in her bodysuit, dressed in an off the shoulder royal blue evening dress with a slit up the right side. “You always look stunning” he adds, giving her a peck on her temple.They were heading to the charity banquet for the local shelter for domestic violence. Cheryl helped establish it with the money given to her from Evelyn when she passed away. “Dad; we leaving shortly” Simone calls out as Phillip comes out of the playroom with Lauren in his arms and two three-year-olds hanging onto each leg. “Thank you for looking after them tonight” she adds.“You don’t have to thank me” Phillip beams, placing Lauren in the playpen and picking up e
Our Secret Identities Chapter 219 – The Final
The limousine pulled up out the front of the banquet hall where the fashion parade was being held. Vince steps out and opens the rear door for everyone to climb out of the back. Camera flashes were going off as Drake steps out and extends his hand to Leona with a smile before Lester does the same with Caitlyn. Followed by Jason with Rebecca, Jonathon with Matilda, Richard with Sandy and Vince helping Linda, Tiffany and Cheryl out.Simone straightens her black and green full-length dress as Emmett leans over and kisses the side of her head. “Let’s head in; the others will catch up” Emmett whispers in Simone’s ear.Simone nods, taking Emmett’s hand and beaming a smile as they were stopped for pictures momentarily.“I want to call Aunty Leslie before it starts and make sure the twins are ok” Simone says as the group find a seat to the front of the runway.“I already did” Linda voices behind her, sitting down in her seat. “They’ve been fed and are sleeping peacefully. Jakey is playing wit

It’s been three weeks since the twins decided to arrive; giving Emmett and Simone a surprise of a lifetime. Simone was let out of the hospital two days later. Stacey wanted to make sure the twins didn’t need any additional medical help. Given Linda was their nanny; she was for happy for her to take them home when she did.Tiffany had reported to Simone every evening what was going on at the agency. In Simone’s opinion it was so she could see the babies. Robert wasn’t the only model to have been offered a contract overseas. Suzie’s contract was renewed to go to Australia for their fashion week the following year and Trent will be joining her. Kimberley was given a contract to go to China, while Lewis will be heading to the Milan fashion week in Italy.The Next Fashion Designer was coming to a close and Lively Design Studio’s made the final with Giovanni Boutiques and Le Boutique. “Leslie and Barry are going to look after Jake and the twins while we head to the fashion show tonight for
Our Secret Identities Chapter 216 – Twins?
Tiffany walks through the door of the birthing suite. Seeing the little bundle in Emmett’s arms, she walks over to him. “There’s my little goddaughter” she coos, taking her from Emmett.“Hmm-hmm” Simone sounds, clearing her throat for Tiffany to look at her. She glances up and sees the second baby attached to Simone’s breast. Her mouth gapes open as she glances between the two babies.“Twins? When the fuck were you going to tell us?” Tiffany whisper shouts at Simone. “And why didn’t you tell me you were in labour and heading to the hospital?”“I couldn’t tell you about this one because I didn’t know. This little man decided he wanted to stay hidden. The amnio results were taken from Isabella’s fluid sac since his was behind hers” Simone whisper shouts her explanation back to Tiffany, who starts smiling and cooing at Isabella. “As for being in labour; I didn’t get a chance to tell you. I called Emmett to let him know my waters broke and before I knew it; he was carrying me to the car.”
Our Secret Identities Chapter 215 – In Labour
Emmett raced to the hospital with Simone protesting beside him to slow down. ‘I knew it wasn’t Braxton Hicks this time’ Emmett fumes in his mind. “Slow down, Emmett” she says again, pulling him out of his thoughts.He looks over to her and beams a smile in her direction; “we are going to meet our little girl” he says as another contraction hits Simone and she screams out in pain. “We are almost there” he whispers in a hushed tone.He pulls up out of the emergency department. Linda is waiting out the front with a wheel chair for them to arrive. “You called Linda?” he asks as she nods and tries to breathe through another contraction.“How far apart are the contractions?” Linda asks Emmett.He gives her a blank stare; “I was a bit preoccupied, trying to get her to the hospital; I forgot to time them. If I was to guess, they are 2-3 minutes apart” he tells her.“And her waters broke while she was on the phone to me. Let’s get her up and see how far along she is” Linda states as Emmett pus
Our Secret Identities Chapter 214 – My Waters Just Broke
Sitting at her desk; Simone started fidgeting as she glanced at the doorway, hoping Cheryl, Vince, Tiffany, Jonathon and Matilda would walk through. “Calm down” Emmett states, running his hands through his hair as he sat on the sofa. “You decided to let Cheryl and Tiffany go to the runway show and be pleasantly surprised at the clothes tomorrow night.” They decided not to tell Emmett the real reason behind not going to the production warehouse for the final and gave him the excuse she wanted to be pleasantly surprised. It was a good thing too, since the day at the hotel with Alexandro; she had been getting Braxton Hicks contractions every couple of days.“I know” Simone murmurs, walking out from behind her desk and taking a seat next to Emmett on the sofa. “I’m nervous because I’m not there to stop Alexandro for doing or saying anything to Jonny.”“He wouldn’t be game with Vince or Tiff there” Emmett chuckles, putting his arms around her and pecking the side of her head. Emmett pulls
Our Secret Identities Chapter 213 – He is My Brother
Over the next few weeks; to Simone’s surprise, Alexandro stayed away from her when she went to the warehouse for the production. Holly and Quintin confirmed he hadn’t been asking questions about her or her relationship with Emmett anymore. ‘Maybe he has finally gotten the hint’ she says to herself.Emmett had made an effort to get to know Albert for the time he was in Rocky Valley and both decided to keep in touch. “I’m glad you and Al could become friends” Simone says to Emmett in the bedroom as she steps into her green maternity dress to get ready to head over to the production warehouse. “He really is a great guy.”“Ehh” Emmett voices with a shrug of his shoulders, causing Simone to giggle at his attempt to downplay his friendship with an old school colleague. “Are you and Vince taking Jonny in today?”“Yes” Simone replies, putting her watch on her wrist and looking at the time. “He should be heading up any…” she didn’t get to finish her sentence when they heard the knock on the do
Our Secret Identities Chapter 212 – Trying to Compete
Albert had left the room to head down to the lobby. He had mentioned to Adam before walking out the door to make sure the ladies were safe; one thing he was certain of, Alexandro wasn’t to be trusted with them. He had a feeling Simone’s comment to the hotel receptionist; Emmett would be notified of their whereabouts and would be there soon. He wanted to explain his involvement before it got out of hand.He barely made it out of the elevator before Emmett ran through the front door; stopping dead and folding his arms in front of him with a smirk on his face. “Why am I not surprised; he had you kidnap my wife” Emmett spits at the man in front of him.Albert’s eyes widen with Emmett’s statement before composing himself again. Leona only told him Emmett wasn’t her brother; he didn’t know any other details. “What kidnapping?” Albert states; glaring back at Emmett as two more men walk through the doorway to stand behind him. “They came freely and Leona gave you a message she was ok on the s
Our Secret Identities Chapter 211 – What do you want?
Caitlyn and Simone were shocked they were ushered into a waiting vehicle out the back of the supermarket. Because of this, Simone was inwardly cursing herself for leaving Sandy and Cheryl without giving them an explanation on what was happening. She was even more annoyed both of them had left their handbags in the trolleys so she couldn’t message Emmett what was going on and tell him she was ok; ‘hopefully he will see the camera footage and know they were fine’ she tells herself.“We should have bought our bags with us” Caitlyn giggles, trying to lighten the mood with a joke. She too was annoyed she didn’t think it would be more than two minutes to go out the back to talk. Seeing Simone wasn’t amused by her comment; Caitlyn turns her attention to the men in the front seat. “Al; we understand he can’t leave and everything. Why is it important for him to see us?”The chestnut brown-haired man driving, looked at the two women behind him in the rearview mirror. He didn’t say anything exce
