Stepping out of the SUV; Leona looks both ways down the street before heading into the Lively Design Studio. She didn’t see the dark-haired man standing in the shadows, watching her every move. “Good; she got to the designers safely” Emmett says, moving away from the side of the building.“Emmett” Tiffany squeals; looking perplexed on what he was doing there.“Oh… Umm… Hi Tiff” Emmett manages to get out; pissed off with himself for getting caught. “Fancy meeting you here.”“Are you following Simone?” Tiffany questions, giving him a glaring look. ‘I told her she should tell him about Leona’ she screeches to herself.“I can explain” Emmett murmurs, putting his hands up in front of him showing what he was doing was innocent as Vince comes over to them. “I needed to make sure Simone goes to the banquet as Leona and not her.”Shocked he was aware Simone and Leona were the same person; Tiffany narrows her eyes at Emmett. Assuming he figured it out on his own, otherwise he would be inside wi
“Drake Spencer; I have been waiting here over and hour for you to show up” Claire screams as Drake comes off the elevator.Narrowing his eyes at her; he grunts and walks past into his office. “Don’t ignore me” she yells, walking in behind him.“You have one minute to tell me what you want before I have security remove you” Drake snarls; standing behind his desk. “50 seconds.”“I saw you were going to the banquet on the weekend. I have a great dress; we will be envied by everyone” she states; changing her voice to a more seductive tone. “We can officially announce ourselves as a couple.”“Is that so?” Drake says, moving from behind his desk to lean himself on the front of it. Claire mistook his question as an invitation to move closer to him.“You know how I feel about you, baby. I want us to be a couple, so bad” Claire remarks; ready to put her hands on his shoulders. “We were made for each other.”Drake grabs her wrists before she could touch him. Holding on tight he leans in close t
Cars were lined up; moving slowly as people were ushered out one by one. Those already entering the banquet hall, would stop occasionally to have their photo taken by the paparazzi. People from all walks of life; CEO’s; movie and television stars, models and parents of young children who need the new genetics wing of the hospital; each with their own escorts.Vince parks the car at the curb and promptly gets out to open her car door. Double checking her wedding ring was secure around her neck; Leona places the chain and ring under her dress before turning to step out.“Ms Simmons” one reporter shouts out as Leona steps one leg out of her limousine; her low healed black shoes with crystal rhinestones glistening in the light of camera flashes. Grabbing Vince’s hand to help her out of the car; she smiles, displaying a long sequinned red and black gown with a mid-thigh slit on her right leg.Posing with one leg crossed behind the other; she notices the top of a man’s head. His chocolate b
‘How could he do it. 9 years I’ve witnessed him confessing his love for Simone and he shacks up with a model the moment he gets married. I may have my fair share of women; I still respect the sanctity of marriage and would never cheat on my wife, if I had one’ Lester screams inside his head.Clutching the photos given to him by Sonia, Lester opens the door of Drake’s penthouse apartment. ‘He wouldn’t be stupid enough to take Leona back to the house, would he?’Seeing clothes strewn over the living room heading toward the bedroom; his thought was apparent; Emmett didn’t take Leona to the house. Lester races into Emmett’s room; “How could you do that to Simone?” he yells; looking down at the pair, sleeping in one another’s arms, naked. “You said you loved her and only her.”“How can who, do what to me?” Simone groggily questions; rolling over, covering herself with the blanket. The blonde wig she was wearing falling half off her head as Emmett decided he wanted to make love to her with
Walking through the park hand in hand; Drake and Leona, smile affectionately at one another. This was all for show; they knew the paparazzi were hiding themselves behind nearby trees and in the children’s play centre. Vince and Tiffany were strolling in front and Jason; Drake’s bodyguard and personal assistant of 5 years, was behind them.Simone had met the darker skinned man a few times. Emmett had introduced him as a close friend and didn’t question it. According to Emmett; he didn’t lie because Jason is a close friend as well as his assistant and bodyguard.Jason wasn’t sure of Vince’s abilities as a bodyguard because he was Tiffany’s boyfriend. That lead the two of them into a sparring match which ended in a stalemate.“Vince; you may have martial arts training behind you. You are yet to show your skills as a marksman” Jason states, as the quintet stops near a pond in the centre of the park.“Why don’t you both just flip out your cocks and measure while you’re at it” Tiffany remar
“You and Richard are more alike than both of you care to admit” Simone snaps; causing Emmett to glare at his wife. “Your jealousy will be your downfall if you don’t control it. It was his.” “What do you mean?” Emmett asks, calming down slightly. “What happened in High School?”“Do you want to know or are you going to yell at me some more?” Simone shoots back at him. ‘I have to tell him. But he has to know; he can’t do anything to Richard’ she tells herself.“I’m all ears” Emmett states, undoing his seatbelt to give his full attention to his wife.“Before I start; I need your word you are not going to use this against Richard” Simone states as Emmett snorts in her direction. “Your word.”“I can’t promise that” Emmett says, wondering why she would even ask him.“Then you will have to trust me. Richard will not reveal Leona’s identity and he will not continue chasing after me” Simone says, pursing her lips and clutching the door handle to leave.Grabbing her arm to stop her; “I give my
Simone and Emmett sat down with Vince the night before and told him she had confided in Emmett about what had happened. He had already figured. He had told Tiffany about the incident in college when they first started dating. She chose the tattoo that had covered the scar.Since Emmett was heading to work; Tiffany thought it would be a great idea for Vince and her to take Simone out for coffee; or hot chocolate in Simone’s case.“I’m fine. Instead of having only three people who knows who I am; I have seven” Simone states as her two friends drag her from the house. They had to tell Jason; he questioned how Leona got into the car and Simone had got out of the car.“We just can’t have you sitting around being the trophy wife” Tiffany injects as the trio get into the car and head to their favourite café.“And since you are the wife of Drake Spencer; you can pay” Vince chuckles looking at the two ladies in the rear-view mirror. Simone promptly pokes her tongue out at him.Parking the car;
Changing into her bodysuit; Leona; Tiffany and Vince drive off to the office building of Lester Drake Media. “Do you think this is a good idea? A supermodel going into the biggest media building in the city” Tiffany questions; voicing her concern.“Probably not. But I can’t go in as Simone. They won’t let me past the lobby to speak to Emmett. This is the only way” Simone sighs; already preparing herself for the onslaught.“I’ve already sent a text to Jase; he is going to meet us in the lobby” Vince injects, looking at the two ladies in the rear-view mirror. Simone’s nerves eased a little hearing Vince was getting help from Jason.Vince parked the car in the VIP carpark and the three proceeded to the front door. As predicted; Leona was set upon by workers who were currently coming back into the building. “Ms Simmons can you tell me the reason for your visit?” One reporter asked. “Ms Simmons; when do you and Mr Spencer plan to get married?” Another one asked.In his office; Drake was wo
