Heading into the office the following morning; Simone and Emmett were a bit apprehensive. Phillip had told the pair yesterday; he didn’t know what they were searching, but thought whatever Celeste and Victoria were working on; got them killed. He couldn’t prove it and didn’t know where to start to find out. Emmett was going to talk to Stuart about their discussion, today.“What the fuck?” Emmett says, glancing upwards out the windscreen as he pulled into his parking spot near the front door. The whole building was covered in some sort of plastic. “It looks like it’s been lowered down from the roof” Emmett fumes, getting out the car.They walk towards the front doors; Simone notices everyone coming in and out of the building were all wearing the same colour. “Lester!” she exclaims with a laugh; taking out her phone and snapping a picture. A sense of warmth and joy replaced the anger and apprehension she was feeling.Emmett stops to stare at Simone; “We are having a girl?” he questions,
After going around the third floor; Emmett and Simone left laughing as the painters arrived and thought they were told the wrong colour scheme until Barry assured them the pink was for a different reason.“When will the floor be finished?” Emmett asks Richard as they wait for the elevator.“Providing there is no unforeseen variables to cause delays. End of next week” Richard answers with a smile. “Because Simone accepted the new drawings and there were no structural changes to the floor above; it is a quicker progress. Also; taking into consideration Barry wanting to do a good job and finish in a timely manner for his niece.”“Great” Simone exclaims as they all step onto the elevator. “I can’t wait to sign up and teach new models.”Heading down to the first floor, where the radio station was; Emmett, Simone, Tiffany, Richard, Tyrone, Katrina and Phillip got off the elevator. Sure enough; the desks, counters, partitions, walls and floors were all pink; with pink streamers and balloons
Paul races up to the top floor; getting changed into the clothes from Tyrone. “I am getting a granddaughter” he yells coming into Emmett’s office. He didn’t question why he was allowed to enter the office; nor did he know who the other people were, sitting in there with Lester, Simone, Richard and Emmett.“That explains the pink everywhere” Roger says with a chuckle from his seat in front of Emmett’s desk. “Congratulations by the way.”“You do not have a granddaughter. My father has a granddaughter” Simone says, pointing to the older gentleman on the sofa in the corner; next to Lester. “You may be biologically related to her; she is not your granddaughter.”“You are going to deny me my granddaughter?” Paul asks, his face turning red with frustration. “All Sylvia and I ever wanted was a daughter.”“You are trying to tell us; if Emmett and I were girls, you wouldn’t have been such an ass to us?” Richard scoffs from the corner of the room as Emmett puts up his hand to stop him from talki
‘Paul; I need your help’ Victoria’s voice rings out through the office. ‘I think Lest and I got in too deep. We were investigating someone and I think they are chasing us. I don’t know who else to turn to. You have friends in powerful places.’‘Vic; I think she saw us. We need to leave” Celeste’s screams as they hear the car starting up in the background.‘When you get this message; you need to come to Bay’s Bridge’ Victoria says in a panic. ‘You need to hurry.’‘Oh, my god’ Celeste yells as they hear a loud crash before the recording goes dead.Once the recording was done; Paul opens his eyes, hoping the tears he felt; didn’t fall. Emmett was no longer behind his desk. He hadn’t noticed Emmett move to Simone; holding onto her so tight he thought he was going to snap her in two. “Get out” Richard snaps at Paul.“Come again?” Paul snorts. ‘Since when does Ricky order me what to do’ he spits in his mind.“Jase, get him out of here” Richard yells, standing up. He knew Emmett and Simone n
Emmett and Lester sent everyone home for the rest of the day after Stuart told them what he had found. When Paul ran into the office the day before; he yelled ‘It was Sylvia’ which took Simone, Phillip, Richard and Emmett by surprise. He had said, ‘Vicki must have recognised Sylvia and called him; that is why she thought only he could help her. Sylvia was also at the crash site, claiming ‘she followed me there. I believed her.’They knew they needed to question Sylvia for her involvement in Victoria and Celeste’s death. Paul was very forthcoming and was willing to help get her to the office.“Why do you need me to go see Emmett?” Sylvia shouts at her husband. “I don’t care about your bastard son. I never cared about him.”“Simone is carrying my granddaughter. Emmett is willing to let go of the past for the sake of the child. He wants to make sure you are willing to do the same. Please come with me; for the innocent child she is carrying” Paul pleads with Sylvia.Sylvia was the one who
Paul was in surgery; Emmett and Richard were in the waiting room, pacing the floor when Simone ran through the door. “What the fuck happened?” She screams, coming over to Emmett, grabbing hold of him to see where the blood was coming from. “Why are your clothes covered in blood?”“What are you doing here” Emmett hisses at Simone. He didn’t want her here.“Vince called me and told me you went to the hospital. I came as fast as I could” Simone snaps back.Calming down slightly; Emmett answers her first question. “Paul stepped in front to stop Sylvia from stabbing me” Emmett murmurs; taking in a long breath. “I was applying pressure to the wound until help arrived. He’s still in surgery.”“Why didn’t you go to Rocky Valley hospital?” Katrina voices, coming into the waiting room. “It would have been closer.”“Yeah, right” Richard scoffs, looking perplexed at the woman in front of him, before realising she didn’t know about his grandfather. “It was better for him not to go there” he respon
‘Sylvia Peterson nee Sylvia Springfield wife of disgraced businessman, Paul Peterson and daughter of renown doctor and surgeon Maxwell Springfield was arrested today on an accessory to murder charge for her involvement regarding a car accident which occurred 15 years ago.’‘Mrs Peterson pled guilty to luring Celeste Whitehouse (31) and Victoria Mellors (32) to Bay’s Bridge for an unknown assailant. The two women were in their vehicle when they were hit by another vehicle, which fled the scene. As a result, the two ladies lost their lives.’‘Mrs Peterson has not disclosed the other party involved; nor has she given a motive behind her involvement.’‘It is speculated jealousy played a part as Victoria Mellors was the mother of Emmett Peterson aka Drake Spencer. Was it jealousy or was is something else? We do not know.’‘Mr Paul Peterson and Doctor Maxwell Springfield are yet to comment on the arrest.

When Vince met with Simone and Emmett; they came up with a few different ideas for him to use. The one he chose; he needed to propose at night so he could light each step for Tiffany to follow.Tiffany used to love visiting ice sculptures whenever they visited. It took a week; but Emmett had ordered a group of sculpturers from around Rocky Valley to sculp ice for the big event. As it was still winter, it was easy to keep them from melting.There were 5 sculptures placed in a line to the pergola ready for Vince to appear. “Do you think this will work?” Vince asks, looking between Simone and Emmett. “It’s not too over the top?”“Calm down, Sunshine” Simone says, nudging Vince with her elbow. “You will melt the ice” she snickers. She had been trying to keep his nerves down all afternoon whilst her and Emmett got things ready for him to propose. She had messaged Katrina ‘they were ready’ and got a thumbs up emoji reply. “There are people looking at the sculptures” Vince tells them, shuff
