‘Angela Berry, manager to the stars is in her own spotlight today. Leona Simmons Modelling Inc had acquired some of the models on Ms Berry’s books due to a defamation suit placed on her by Ms Simmons. Details of the suit will be in the upcoming issue of Glory Magazine; out this Friday.’‘We have an exclusive with Rebecca Saunders; a model signed by Ms Simmons due to Berry and Sterling management failing to protect her from a known stalker. Joseph Holland; a disgraced photographer was hired by Ms Berry to take photos of the models under her management.’“Unbeknown to myself; Mr Holland had been pursuing me in the shadows. He had started to visually stalk me when he was hired by Angela Berry” Ms Saunders tells us, a few tears escaping her eyes. “I had seen him pop up to events from there on in. I spoke with Angela because I was frightened of his persistent harassment.”‘Ms Saunders further explains Ms Berry had said Mr Holland was not hurting anyone and there was no need to bother the p
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. Simone quickly glances at her phone to see Cheryl was trying to call her.Unlatching Simone’s bra; she
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
Once everyone arrived home; Matilda left with her mother; not before everyone noticed her and Jonathon giving each other a kiss goodbye. Cheryl left after Jonathon chose to stay with Emmett and Simone; to her displeasure. Because it was early in the morning; everyone decided to have the day off work; whereas Jonathon and Matilda had the day off school to sleep after their ordeal.Emmett was awake and reading the article in the Gazette about Angela’s arrest, when Jonathon came out of the spare room. “You many want to read this” Emmett says, handing Jonathon his phone.‘Angela Berry was arrested this morning on kidnapping charges of two teenagers from Rocky Valley Grammer yesterday afternoon. It is believed Ms Berry forged Ms Leona Simmons’ signature on documentation from an old contract she possessed of Ms Simmons to lure the teenagers into a limousine. Both teenagers were found safe and well and are back home with their families.’‘Ms Patricia Sterling; business partner to Ms Berry ha
The following morning; Simone and Emmett were heading into the office. She had sent Katrina to pick up Jonathon and Matilda to escort them to school. It wasn’t the first time the school had a bodyguard attend for a student; hence why Principal Gerard Shultz agreed. Katrina’s only provision, she wasn’t to interrupt their classes. With Katrina spending the next few days shadowing the two teens, ensuring their safety; Vince was heading down to level 3 and Tiffany was taking his position as Lester’s assistant.They had put the safe word; ‘Strawberries,’ in place the day before. Even though they knew Katrina would be picking them up; they were to ask her for the safe word before stepping into the car. This was to show them the importance of asking before stepping into an unknown vehicle.“Is Sonia and Ray still having the interviews printed?” Simone asks as Emmett pulls up out the front of the Media building. “It seems pointless since Angela was arrested yesterday.”Emmett nods his head, l
Not long after Simone sent the portfolios; Stuart had come to see her, asking for a statement on Caitlyn’s interview. She smiled at the messy brown-haired man and gave her comment; ‘Angela Berry never took the wellbeing of the models she had under her seriously. I’m glad I was able to sort the situation out from here. It must have been scary and overwhelming being stuck in a foreign country without any support and I was glad I could give her some hope; where she didn’t have that before.’“You give more people hope than you can imagine” Stuart tells Simone, standing up from his seat. “You are working in an industry, if you walked in without your bodysuit; they would laugh at you. It goes to show; you are a fighter and I have seen it firsthand.”Simone rolls her eyes towards Stuart. Inside she was beaming with pride over his words. Stepping from behind her desk, she wraps Stuart in a hug; “thanks” is all she could get out to try and suck the tears from forming in her eyes.“And this is
Jonathon had been impressed how Simone handled the meeting with Principal Shultz and Mr Stephens; he called Emmett as soon as she left to tell him what she had done. Emmett was waiting to question her about it when they got home. Getting up from the dinner table with the dishes; Emmett asks the question; “Did you really tell Scott’s father you were going to the police station to press sexual assault charges on Scott?”“Yeah” Simone giggles, moving herself into the living area as Emmett cleaned up. “Did Vince tell you?“Jonny called me” Emmett states stepping out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a tea towel. “He said and I quote; ‘you should have seen her nail Mr Stephens. He was going red in the face because he couldn’t laugh the situation off. She even got up Principal Shultz for allowing it to happen in the school.’ End quote.”“I did what I needed to do” Simone smiles, grateful she taught Jonathon at least; you don’t touch someone without their permission. “Anything happen with
