Our Secret Identities Chapter 157 – Charity Auction
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 158 – The Auction
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 159 – I’m More Than His Girlfriend
“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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 160 - You Asked Bart
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

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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 162 – What Do You Want Miranda?
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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 163 – Wait and See
“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
