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

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.

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

    Later that evening; Simone was straddling over Emmett’s lap on the sofa. “Today was a good plus for us” Emmett says, between kisses on Simone’s neck. “Angela will learn not to mess with someone who has the power to destroy her.”“Destroy?” Simone groans, trying to concentrate on the conversation she was having with Emmett and failing miserably as he starts to unbutton her navy-blue maternity blouse she was wearing. “You annihilated her” she giggles as Emmett finds his way under her bra.“Your chest has grown somewhat” he mentions with a smile, removing one of the cups of her bra and starts licking her nipple while mumbling; “I’m not complaining.”Emmett was starting to take Simone’s blouse off when her phone begins to ring on the coffee table in front of them. “Leave it” he grumbles and continues what he is doing as it stops ringing and a missed call notification comes on the phone.

    Jonathon and Matilda had been driving for five hours in the back of the limousine they were picked up in. They couldn’t see where they were going because the windows were blacked out. Jonathon started to worry something wasn’t right when the driver wouldn’t answer his questions and put the divider up between them.“The school said they had written consent forms from Leona we were going to a photoshoot” Matilda whispers, trying to move the buttons to open a window. “I don’t think there was any consent forms.”“You think?” Jonathon snaps, pushing his hand through his hair and taking in a deep breath. “I’m sorry” he whispers when he sees a tear rolling down Matilda’s face. “I’m just as nervous as you are about what is happening. Do you have any reception?” he asks, trying to move his phone around the rear of the limousine. “I don’t have any service bars on my phone.”“No; nothing” Matilda says, another tear starting to trickle down her face. “I haven’t been able to get reception since we

    Emmett, Vince and Richard were on their way to get Jonathon and Matilda from Chuck’s hunting cabin. Jason and Tyrone were following behind them in case they saw Angie and her accomplice travelling back. From what Chuck said to Emmett; it would have taken just as much time to drive to them as it was to fly. They would have made the nearest airport in an hour and bit; however; it was still a two- and half-hour drive from the airport to get them.Emmett was thankful, Simone decided to stay behind to comfort Cheryl and Julie when she called them and told them to come to their place as Emmett was going to go get them. “Can we go any faster?” Richard spits to Vince who was driving. The tension in the car was growing with each passing minute.“I’m going as fast as I dare without causing an accident” Vince yells back as Emmett grunts at the two of them.“They’re safe; that’s the main thing” Richard remarks; trying to calm himself down. “Is Simone putting anything in place to stop anyone from

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

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.

    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.

    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.”

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
