Our Secret Identities Chapter 141 – Flashbacks
“Why do I need to come here?” Richard complains dragging his feet behind his father. “The school is cold and stuffy.”“Because it’s the best school in the state. It’s reserved for those who can afford to send their kids here” Paul says stopping in front of his son. “You need to be on your best behaviour. You will cop it when we get home if you aren’t.”Fear creeps into young Richard’s eyes at his father’s threat. “Yes, sir” he whispers, resuming his position behind his father as they continue down the corridor to the principal’s office.“Principal Shultz won’t be a moment” his secretary says from her desk as Richard and Paul sit down on the hardwood bench. “He has been detained for a few minutes. You may have a look around, if you would like” she smiles towards Richard.Getting off the bench; Richard looks at the large trophy cabinet opposite the secretary’s desk. There were awards and trophies granted to all different sports and extracurricular activities the school has. Richard squi

“I’ve told you once; I told you a million times, stay away from Simone” Richard yells at the boy tied up in front of him. “She is mine. She can sit at home for Junior Prom since she refuses to go with me.”“She refused because she doesn’t want anything to do with you” Vince yells back as Richard kicks him in the stomach. “She likes your brother you fucking moron. We are going to the prom together so everyone else will leave her alone; including you. It’s not her fault you spread the rumours she was easy.”Richard glares at Vince, pulling out his phone to message Simone. ‘Vince and I have a surprise for you. Meet us at the science lab.’ Walking into the storeroom to get the supplies he left there; Richard hears Simone opening the door to the Science Lab. “Vinny; what the fuck?” she yells, racing over to help him.“I warned you” Richard cackles, coming out of the storeroom and locking the classroom door behind her. “Now I’m going to show you what happens when you are with someone else o

Richard tries to sit up and his head starts to spin. His surroundings come into view, when he lays back; ‘I’m in the hospital. What happened?’ he questions inwardly, glancing to the person sleeping in the chair next to him. “Emmett?” he says softly.“Let him sleep” a man says in the opposite corner. “He hasn’t left your side since you were bought here.”“Vince?” Richard queries, squinting to focus on him. “What happened? Everything is very blurry.”“You saved me” Vince explains, trying not to sound disappointed it was him who did. “I would have been killed if you didn’t push me out of the way of the falling beam.”The memory of the fire comes back into Richard’s mind. “Is everyone else, ok?” he panics as a sharp pain in his shoulder erupts. “My shoulder?”“The beam hit your shoulder and broke your collarbone” Vince tells him, moving his chair to beside the bed. “You hit your head on the tiled floor and I got you out of the changerooms. Emmett’s been sitting in that chair for over a we

Standing from his seat, Emmett stretches; “We’re going to give you some privacy” he says to Sandy and Richard. Taking Simone by the hand, the pair walk out of the hospital room.“Are you going to tell him?” Simone questions, looking into her husband’s eyes as they sit on the bench in front of the hospital.“About appointing Barry as 2IC?” Emmett queries, giving her a smirk. “He was already second in command. I just made it official.”“About Maxwell” Simone glares; knowing Emmett was avoiding the question. “It’s better you tell him before he finds out from a nurse or doctor. Worse yet, on the news.”“The man is a coward” Emmett mutters, leaving Simone on the bench and heading back to Richard’s room. He knocks on the door to wait in case Sandy and him were in a compromising position before entering as Simone reaches the doorway. “Rick” Emmett calls out as he hears him yell out ‘enter.’ “We need to talk to you about something” he says, taking a seat, while Simone sits next to him. “About

Emmett sat in his office; debating how he should proceed. Now Richard was awake; although still in the hospital, he could relax a bit. He didn’t know what to do in regards to Jonathon and Zachary being around Paul. “What are you thinking about?” Lester asks him from the sofa. Emmett glances up at him; “You are conflicted about something” he adds, pursing his lips at his friend.“Paul” Emmett answers with a sigh.“Say no more” Lester chuckles, holding his hands up in front of him. “I don’t need to know what the sperm donor did this time.”“Jonathon said Paul almost laid into him” Emmett explains as Lester raises his eyebrow. “He didn’t because Cheryl walked into the room. If she hadn’t; who knows what would have happened.”“And you want to do something about it?” Lester questions, letting out the breath he was holding.“Cheryl is a good mother” Emmett states, letting out his own breath. “I’m worried for Jon and Zach because she will turn a blind eye regarding Paul and his discipline. I

Emmett walked back into his office. He felt his world was colliding and he didn’t like feeling helpless to stop it. He picks up his phone and messages Paul to come into the office to see him. “At least I will be able to confront him for not coming to see Rick” he murmurs to himself. “And warn him if he thinks about hitting either Jon or Zach; I will come down on him like a ton of bricks.”Since he spent the last week and a half in the hospital; he thought he would have a lot of work to catch up on. He was doing most of it remotely in the chair next to Richard’s bed and was surprised there wasn’t much more he needed to do because Lester took care of it.Pulling up the picture of Miranda; he reads her biopic for the auction. “Miranda Keller?” he questions surprised. “She married Nicholas” he adds as he reads, she has been working as an auctioneer for Salisbury Auction House for the past 5 years with a background in antiques and archaeology from Cambridge.He decided to look through some

Emmett and Simone left the office and headed to the hospital to see Richard before going home. “Are we going to talk about it?” Simone asks, glancing over at Emmett. “You’ve been very quiet since you came to see me in my office.”“There’s nothing to talk about” Emmett responds, releasing the breath he was holding. He knew he needed to discuss what happened between him and Miranda. He wasn’t looking forward to it. “You made up your mind what you wanted to do. I am going to support your decision. It looks like Miranda married her on again, off again boyfriend. That’s why we were in a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship. I didn’t want to commit because I loved you and she didn’t want to commit because she loved Nick.”“Why were they on again, off again?” Simone asks, trying to piece together the true feelings she had for Emmett. She knew Emmett loved her and wasn’t worried about him. A woman he knew coming to Rocky Valley all of a sudden; she wasn’t so sure.“He was in the RAF. When he

Emmett and Simone headed towards Paul’s place after visiting Richard. They were taking Jonathon back to pick up some clothes for the next few nights as Cheryl agreed for him to stay with them since it was the weekend. “Did she give you a reason why she agreed?” Simone questions, trying to keep the shock out of her voice. She was still surprised she allowed Jonathon to stay until Sunday.“All mum said was she understood” Jonathon replies as Emmett pulls into the driveway.“There’s no need for us to come in” Emmett states as Jonathon nods and steps out of the car. “We’ll wait here” he adds watching him walk up to the front door before disappearing inside the house.“Did you want to get something for dinner? I can stop off at the café to pick up some burgers” Emmett says to Simone as she nods when a tap comes on his window; startling them both. Winding down his window; “Can I help you?” he asks, looking out at Cheryl.“I want to thank you for offering to take Jonny for a few days” Cheryl

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
Our Secret Identities Chapter 217 – Don’t you Love Bart?
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
