Our Secret Identities Chapter 43 – The Takeover.
The following morning; Emmett, Lester and Richard walk into the office building of Peterson Properties; ready to address the staff. The terms of the takeover; all staff members were to be given the option to stay under Richard or be paid out for services rendered. The only employees not included were those associated with Seamus O’Conner. They will be taken into custody.The directors for the company; were paid out under the current stock prices as their services were no longer needed. Lester Drake Media directors will be taking over these positions. Paul was given $20 million for his company; more than it was worth. Lester had the bank transfer the money the day before, once Paul signed the legal paperwork.“I want to thank everyone for coming into the office this morning” Emmett begins, standing in front of the crowd of employees. “Some of you may be aware; some of you may not. I have taken over the company from Paul Peterson.”There were gasps and murmurs around the front foyer by

“You’ve only been on the job for 10 minutes. Did you have a massive walkout?” Emmett says, answering the phone.“Houston; we have a problem” Richard tells him; laughing. “Do you guys have a PI you use to chase things up?”“We do. What’s the issue?” Emmett asks, hoping it was something small and Richard was overreacting.“I think I know why dad only got me to be a gopher and wouldn’t let me take over from him” Richard tells him. “There are some discrepancies in the books to what was charged to the clients. I need your PI to have a look to see where the money went; into the business or elsewhere. I can only see the hard copies of invoices and quotes for any current contracts we have. When you took over yesterday; the bank accounts were closed and the operating system was wiped. I can’t chase them up myself.”“I see” Emmett says; not elaborating. “How do you know there was a discrepancy?”“I told you; I was the gopher. I go for this and go for that” Richard chuckles. It remained quiet on

Getting ready for the two respective parties; Emmett got dressed in a pair of khakis with a light blue, thin polo shirt. Whereas; Simone was putting on a lilac purple knitted dress. Simone and Tiffany decided for her to go as Simone. Although everyone knew who she was; it was safer from any uninvited guests wanting to join the party; compared to, if she was Leona.It was still early in the morning; Lester and Tiffany were planning to make a whole day of entertainment for the pair. Emmett convinced Lester to go somewhere they wouldn’t get recognised. “It’s cold out; you need to put on a sweater” Simone tells Emmett, brushing her auburn hair.“I’ll put one on when I go outside” Emmett tells her, grabbing the sweater he was talking about. “I won’t be wearing it for long. Lester’s taking the jet to the Bahamas.”“Jet? What Jet?” Simone gasps, not realising they had a private jet; then reprimanding herself for not asking about one.Snickering softly to himself; “First in, first served” Emm

The group of ten climb the stairs to the Lester Drake Media Jet and quickly take their seats. Lester had already stored towels on the plane for those wanting to go for a swim during the day. “The towels are in tote bags in the overhead lockers. I am assuming everyone is either wearing or has packed some swimming gear. If not; I am sure we can find a beach you can skinny dip on” Lester tells everyone as every set of female eyes, roll at his comment.“If you don’t already know; my name is Greg and I will be your pilot today” Greg says coming over the loud speaker. “I’m required by law to give you the safety rundown before take-off. In case of an emergency; leave me the fuck alone so I can fix it. If I can’t; I will try to land the plane as safely as I can. If we manage to survive an emergency landing; I will head to the rear of the plane and help the ladies to the emergency exit, which happens to be the door you came in. Men; you are on your own. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.”Giggling

There was a debate between the group before heading to the hotel. The women wanted to get dinner first and watch the sunset. The men wanted to freshen up first, before they ate. “It’s fine. You go back to the hotel. We will stay here to watch the sunset and head there when we are done” Simone intercedes in the argument as the rest of the ladies nod their support to her comment.Emmett grumbles before conceding to Simone and the rest of the men follow suit. They all head into a local restaurant and sit down on the balcony to watch the sunset. After the waitress takes their order; “It’s really pretty here” Caitlyn says, a blush coming on her face as Lester puts his arm around her. ‘I have to stop this. He’s handsome and everything; he isn’t the type of man I have in my life’ she says to herself.“Catie, do you want another drink?” Lester asks the strawberry blonde beauty, a small grin appearing on his face.“No. We’ve been drinking all day. The water will be fine” she states, giving him

The next morning; Caitlyn wakes up to see Lester lying face down on the notepad and pen. She gets out of bed and pulls the notepad out from underneath him; ‘pros and cons of having girlfriends to just having Caitie as my girlfriend’ is written on the top.Pros; having someone to take to banquets and balls when I need to.Cons; Not sleeping in the bed when we are in a hotel. Spending all my money on more than one girl. They aren’t Caitie. They don’t have Caitie’s Smile. They don’t have Caitie’s laugh. They aren’t Caitie. I really like Caitie. Caitie is better than them. I prefer to be with Caitie. Caitie makes me laugh. Caitie is more sophisticated. Caitie’s personality is better. Caitie has the cutest ey... ‘He must have fallen asleep writing’ she laughs inwardly.Nudging Lester; “wake up sleepy head” Caitlyn giggles.Stirring, “what” he croaks, rubbing his cheek where the pen left an imprint. He looks at the notepad Caitlyn is holding and blushes; “I must have fallen asleep” he whisp

Simone went into work with Emmett the following morning. After the uncomfortable plane ride back from the Bahamas; he needed to speak with Lester and she was meeting with Richard. Richard decided to stay at Sandy’s place the night before. ‘I’m happy for them both’ she says to herself, getting off the elevator on the third floor.To her surprise; Richard was already there. “Good morning” she says with a smile.“Morning” he answers, turning to face her. Richard wasn’t sure how to react around Simone, now Sandy and him were an item. As she smiled at him; he looked down at his feet, shuffling from one foot to the other.“What’s the matter?” she asks. Although, she figured she already knew the answer.”Um…” he blushes, not sure how to answer her. “I feel like I am cheating on you” he whispers, not knowing how else to put it. “I know I’m not. We were never together. My heart always belonged to you, regardless if you didn’t feel the same about me. I feel like I am doing you an injustice.”Pu

“Hi Les” Simone says stepping onto the elevator with Richard. “Why are you taking the normal elevator?”“Maintenance are doing scheduled repairs on the private elevator” Lester says with frustration in his voice as the doors close behind them. They had barely begun the decent to the ground floor, when there was a jolt and the elevator stops dead. Everything turns pitch black except a red emergency light flashing in the small space.“What happened?” Richard asks, looking around him. He knows what to do in these circumstances; however, he had a fear he couldn’t control. He was fine; until he was locked in a confined space. The other two hadn’t noticed, he was starting to breath heavier, taking deeper breaths to calm himself down.“Fucking maintenance” Lester screams, pushing the button on the emergency speaker. Waiting a moment; ‘that’s odd’ he says to himself as no response comes back. ‘There is always someone manning the station.’Pulling out his phone; he turns the flashlight on befo

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
