Our Secret Identities Chapter 78 – Teaching Katrina What It’s Like to Be Leona
Simone had finished setting up the computer portfolios for Bartholomew, Rebecca and Suzie when Katrina knocks on her door. “Are you free to speak to me?” she asks, coming into Simone’s office.“Yes” Simone answers with a smile. “I’m still waiting for Todd to send over some photos to set up the rest of the portfolios. You want to become a model.”“I don’t know” Katrina answers hesitantly. “I want to be able to do my job without getting denied access to some areas. I wouldn’t say I want to be a model.”“Is there a difference?” Simone asks, glancing at her bodyguard. “You want access and to get access; you need to be a model. Essentially you want to become a model.”“When you put it that way” Katrina laughs, taking a seat in front of Simone’s desk. “How hard is it to walk and move in one of those bodysuits?”“How tall are you?” Simone asks, looking at her friend. “I’m guessing 5”7. We need to know the exact height to see if you need the full bodysuit or we can make do with an extension o

Later that evening; Simone was sitting on the sofa with her legs and feet across Emmett’s lap. “How was your first day as a modelling manager?” Emmett asks, massaging Simone’s feet.“Interesting” Simone remarks closing her eyes, enjoying the foot massage she was getting. “There were men and women coming in today wanting to be signed up; thinking they could be the next Leona Simmons. They got a rude shock when they realised how hard I worked to achieve what I did. Time will tell who can make the cut.”“I’ve told you before and I will tell you again; you are one extraordinary woman” Emmett says, giving Simone a smile.“Is Lester planning anything for his birthday this weekend?” Simone asks, opening one of her eyes to look at Emmett.“How did you know it was his birthday this weekend?” Emmett asks, stopping the foot massage. “I only told you it was coming up. Lester doesn’t tell anyone when his birthday is. He doesn’t like people making a fuss for his birthday; even when he had heaps of

The following morning; after giving Emmett a kiss at the private elevator; Simone heads to the common elevator to go to the third floor. “Ricky; what are you doing here?” she says, giving her brother-in-law a hug. He’s been spending most of his time at Sandy’s place and hasn’t seen him in a while.“I was dropping Sandy off and decided to come and see you too” Richard states, hugging her back. “Sandy will be here in a moment. Apparently, the caramel lattes are to die for at the café outside” he adds with a laugh.“I’ve been meaning to call you and Barry to thank you for doing the office space” Simone states, getting into the elevator with Richard when the doors open. “It’s perfect.”“Your payment and name were thanks enough” Richard smiles at her. “With you signing onto Peterson Properties; we have had a few followers of yours booking in to get renovations done.”“Really?” Simone asked shocked. “I put a virtual tour on twitter yesterday. I didn’t think they would act so quickly.”“Tyro

“Is Ricky still here?” Simone asks Tiffany and Katrina.“I think he left after he told me you wanted to see me in your office” Katrina answers, taking the empty chair in front of Simone’s desk.“Thanks for coming in” Simone smiles, picking up the paperwork Angela gave to her. “I wasn’t sure what her intentions were. Every one of the models we have, come from her management agency. That’s why we all knew each other and worked at Lively Design Studios.”“Speaking of which” Tiffany grins, opening the emails on her laptop. “Guess who asked if we could supply models for the up-and-coming Spring runway show. Wait until Angela finds out she’s lost their contract.”“You’re kidding?” Simone gasps, her eyes going wide. “I’m not concerned with Angela. That’s between her and Mark. I never thought Mark would want to come to me.”“Mark didn’t have a say” Tiffany laughs, turning her laptop around for Simone to read. ‘We took a vote. 7 to 1 to use your models in our next runway show.’ “Mark was outvo

Simone was fuming by the time her; Tiffany and Katrina were on their way to see Angela. She had Tiffany contact two other management agencies with a proposal while she spoke with Gloria. They agreed to the terms and asked ‘where do I sign?’ Gloria was doing up the paperwork and sending it to them for a signature, while she confronted Angela.“Thank you for seeing us on such short notice” Simone kindly states, following Chelsea into the small meeting room.“Ms Berry was surprised you wanted to see her so soon. She was willing to fit you in” Chelsea responds with a smile. “Can I offer you a tea or coffee?”“No thank you” Simone replies as the assistant turns to leave.A moment later Angela walks through the doorway. “Leona, good to see you” Angela says, giving Simone air kisses on each cheek. “I take it you’ll be accepting my proposal.”“Not entirely” Simone states; a small glint in her eye. “I’ve read your proposal and will be submitting my own proposal for you to sign.”“What I offere

Simone felt numb as she entered Emmett’s office. She couldn’t lose her father; he hasn’t met his granddaughter. ‘He is only 52; how can he have cancer’ she says to herself. “I have to go to Saint Anthony’s Medical Hospital. Dad’s just come out of surgery to remove a cancerous cell from his bowel” Simone says her voice flat and expressionless. “They just called me to tell me he’s fine and the surgery was a success.”‘What the fuck?’ Emmett screams in his mind. “I’m going with you” Emmett says, grabbing his jacket and keys. “You can’t go there by yourself.”“I’ll be fine. You have a business to run” Simone objects, walking out the door.“You do too.” Emmett calls out, chasing after her. “I’m not going to argue with you. I am going; whether you like it or not.” Simone wasn’t in the mood to argue either, she nods, stepping onto the elevator with Emmett; “come here” he murmurs, putting his arms around her.The trip to the hospital was a quiet one. Emmett held Simone’s hand, drawing circles

Simone walked into the office two days later with a man, wearing a baseball cap sitting on one of the chairs. She has been away tending to her father and as he was on the mend; Emmett and her decided to come back to work. There was an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach; as she watched him eyeing each of the models as they walk past, pulling the sleeve of his shirt down on his arms. “Rach; who is that man?” Simone whispers to her receptionist.“I don’t know; he came in yesterday and just sat there” Rachael explains, starring daggers at him. “He won’t leave when I ask him. I had to get Katrina to escort him out yesterday.”“I’ll ask him to leave” Simone says, walking over to the man; “Can I help you?” she asks.“I’m waiting for someone” the man states, hiding his face with his cap. ‘That’s not a good sign when he is trying to hide his face from me’ Simone tells herself.“I’m sorry but you can’t be here” she explains as the elevator doors open. Rebecca and Robert walk out. The man

“You were brilliant today; handling the situation with Rebecca” Emmett says, crawling into bed next to Simone. “I was turned on at your decisiveness. I need to see it more often.”“I needed to be” Simone answers, turning to face Emmett. ‘He wants to see decisiveness; I will show him decisiveness’ she grins inwardly. “Angie only cares about the bottom figure; she doesn’t care about the wellbeing of who she was managing. The moment Rebecca was worried about the man following her; she should have alerted the authorities and at least told Beck to hire someone to protect her, if she didn’t have someone able to do that.”“And that is what makes you a good boss and her a shitty one” he says, giving Simone a peck on her nose.“Maybe so; the only way to handle entitled people like her, is put them in their place” Simone states, raising an elbow on her pillow. “She actually had the nerve to think I would accept a proposal that will kill my agency before it started.”“From what Tiff was saying;

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
