Our Secret Identities Chapter 91 – Joseph’s Crime
Lester, Emmett and Simone waited for Caitlyn to head back to the table to resume their dinner. “I’ll see what’s keeping her” Simone says, getting up from the table. She had only been gone for 5 minutes, but she needed to go to the bathroom and thought she could fake it.“You’re pregnant. If you need to pee; just say I’m going to pee” Lester chuckles, taking a sip of his wine.“I need to pee” Simone huffs, poking her tongue out at him. “And I’m going to see what’s keeping her.”“How long have you known Caitie was coming back early?” Lester asks, now the women were away from the table.“Since I called to invite you for a birthday dinner” Emmett states, a smug look crossing his face. “This was their idea; I helped put the idea into motion” he adds as Lester glares at him.“Why did she come back early?” Lester asks, thinking the worst.“She missed you and called Simone to get her out of the interviews and photoshoot” Emmett states as the two girls come back to the table. He thought it was

The next day; Richard was waiting for Emmett to take him into the courthouse. Paul’s court case for fraud was that day and Richard was a witness for the prosecution. “How do you think Paul is going to react to you being a witness against him?” Simone asks, coming out of the bedroom, dressed for work.“Does it matter?” Richard queries back to her. “Mum is in jail because of what she did. Dad is going to join her because what he did. I don’t really give a shit what he thinks or how he would react.”Emmett walked out of the bedroom at the end of Richard’s sentence. He didn’t blame Richard; he felt the same way about Paul and Sylvia. “What time is the hearing?” he asks, taking a seat on the sofa to put his shoes and socks on. Emmett was heading to the courtroom as a representative of Lester Drake Media.“9am” Richard states, looking at his watch. “We should get going?”“I’ll come and see you in your office as soon as it’s done” Emmett says, giving Simone a kiss as Tiffany messages to say

“Which would you prefer; Mr Drake Spencer or Mr Emmett Peterson” Judge Glen asks Emmett; looking at his notes.“In this case your honour; I would prefer Drake Spencer as it refers to my business” Emmett replies, taking a seat on the stand and giving his oath to the bailiff.“You bought the business from Mr Paul Peterson?” Judge Glen asks Emmett.“I did” Emmett answers bluntly.“Did your feelings towards Mr Paul Peterson play a part in your decision on buying his business” Judge Glen questions.“It did not” Emmett replies, not offering more insight to his decision.“Please tell the court, why you decided to buy Mr Peterson’s business” Judge Glen queries, looking at Emmett.“I bought it for my brother” Emmett replies, giving Richard a small smile. Richard wasn’t shocked; he spoke with Simone about this very subject. Emmett was confirming what she told him.“I don’t understand” Judge Glen states, turning to look at Emmett. “You bought a business out of the blue, for a brother you had not

Emmett had come into Simone’s office in a good mood; “I take it the court hearing went well” Simone says, giving her husband a peck on the lips.“More than that” Emmett smiles, grabbing Simone around the waist and planting his mouth on hers, pushing his tongue in. Breaking free from the kiss; “Paul has to pay Peterson Properties to fix all the client’s buildings and renovations” he adds.“And you are happy Paul has to use Peterson Properties to fix the issues?” Simone questions, raising her eyebrow at Emmett. The last time she saw him like this was when they were young. Time and Paul had worn him down, so much so; she didn’t think she would see this side of him again. “I am; but that’s not why I am happy. I am happy I have a brother” Emmett exclaims, giving Simone another kiss. “A proper brother I can banter with. A brother I can stand side by side with. A brother I can celebrate with.” ‘The plot thickens’ Simone says in her mind. ‘I can’t taste alcohol, only coffee.’“Did someone la

“You will need the pre-requirements before you are officially a member” Jack Harding voices from his seat. He normally doesn’t care or voice his opinion as Lester and Drake are good businessmen. He feels some of their decisions lately are based on emotions than business. “May I ask, Oliver; why did you choose Richard?”“Most directors are made up of family members; I have my father, brother and brother-in-law on mine. We were fooled by Nathan and Paul to believe Drake’s relationship with his father was a good one. Besides putting Rick as CEO of Peterson Properties; we saw him at Drake and Leona’s wedding, Richard stood beside Drake as a groomsman. That told me he was a trusted ally to Drake. It was only fitting to ask his brother” Oliver explains as the other director’s nod their acknowledgement.Emmett and Lester were concerned it wasn’t a unanimous vote to have Richard on as director; however, they couldn’t worry themselves with it. There positions as CEOs of Lester Drake Media beca

The following morning; Simone heads to Saint Anthony’s medical hospital to pick up her father and get him settled back home. “Thanks for coming with me Kat” she states, climbing into the passenger seat. “Emmett’s got a few things he needs to deal with at work.”He was meeting the finance manager to get them to purchase the shares for Richard to become a director. “It’s not a problem. I want to show your old man my progress in these shoes” she replies to Simone; picking up the shoes next to her and placing them in the backseat.“I have Dad’s colleagues making you some new legs” Simone tells her bodyguard. “Did you go in for the plaster fitting?”“Yes,” Katrina smiles as she takes off down the street. “They said they should be ready in a few days.”“I guess, you and Suzie have put in the work you need to walk properly in the shoes” Simone says, commenting on Kat’s statement of showing Phillip her progress.“We have” Katrina blushes, keeping her eyes focused on the road. Her blush doesn’

Simone and Katrina left Phillip’s place late in the afternoon. Simone wasn’t leaving until she was sure Phillip and Linda were comfortable. “Did you see the golden ringlets on Jake?” Katrina asks Simone on their way home. “He is going to break hearts when he gets older.”“Linda said Jake was a spitting image of her husband” Simone responds with a giggle. “She was right. She showed me a photo of him.”Simone’s first opinion of Linda didn’t give her enough credit. She come to like Linda, the more she got to know her. She thought she was brave raising her son as a single mum. ‘I don’t know what I would do if I lost Emmett suddenly’ she frowns, not wanting to go further into that thought. “Simone?” Katrina asks, pulling her out of her thoughts. “Are you ok? You went quiet and started crying?”“I must have been going further into my thoughts, than I wanted” Simone laughs, wiping the lone tear from her cheek. “I was thinking how brave Linda is and wouldn’t know what to do if I lost Emmett.

Emmett and Simone arrive at the bungalow to see Lester’s car in the driveway. “You have got to be fucking kidding me” Emmett shouts, getting out of the car and running up the stairs. Opening the door; “Lester, get the fuck out here” he yells out, to stop any surprises he didn’t want to try and erase from his mind. “What the fuck are you doing in my house?” he screams as Lester comes out in his boxer shorts.“The piped burst in my apartment. Caitie said this was vacant so we came here” Lester explains, putting his pants on as Simone starts laughing at the irony of the situation. “We thought you wouldn’t mind.”“Let me guess; Sandy lives on the floor below your apartment?” Emmett questions, his patience wearing thin.“Is that who’s apartment it was?” Lester snickers as Caitlyn comes out wearing one of Simone’s robes she found in the wardrobe.“My bed? Really?” Emmett snaps, turning to walk out the doorway; shaking his head at the pair. “You could be more respectful. Now I’m going to bur

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.

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
