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
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 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
Coming off the runway, I race into the dressing room to change. Sandy, a fellow model follows me in; “Leona; are you coming to the afterparty? I’m told the president of Peterson Properties son will be there. He is so cute.”‘He is also a narcissistic fuckwit. Like father; like son’ Simone mentions in her mind. “I can’t Sandy. I’m heading straight to the countryside tonight to visit my dad. I’ve been so busy with photo shoots in Milan and Paris; I haven’t been to see him. That’s why I’ve taken the next two months off” Simone informs her, taking off her high heels and slipping on a pair of jeans before letting the dress she was wearing fall off her. ‘If all goes to plan; I will be busy getting reacquainted with Emmett’ she smiles inwardly to herself.Once Simone got used to the prosthetic suit; no-one could tell the difference. It took a while to learn to swagger her walk for the catwalk. Once she did; she signed a manager and was surprised how fast her career took off.“It won’t be the
In his office, situated in the business district; Drake Spencer is sitting behind his desk. Looking at a photo of the beautiful 9-year-old girl with Auburn hair he has loved all his life. “Finally, we will be together” he says, his lips curling into a smile on his tanned face; running his free hand through his dark hair. Changing it to a more recent photo emailed to him by Simone, his smile grows wider.“I had HR approve your employment as a journalist for In the Know Magazine. Is she worth all the trouble?” Lester Smith tells him, from the side of his office; looking at Emmett’s smile curiously. “Wouldn’t it be easier just to tell her who you are?”“No. She is marrying Emmett Peterson, not Drake Spencer. Just because we came back and built Lester Drake Media from the ground up; doesn’t mean she needs to marry him” Emmett says to his best friend and business partner. The pair share the CEO responsibilities. Emmett or Drake as he is known in the company, is the more serious CEO. Wherea
“It’s not too late to change your mind, princess” Phillip says to his daughter; admiring her reflection in the mirror they were standing in front of. ‘I wish she would forget about the whole promise’ he includes to himself with a sigh.Turning to her father; “Dad; we’ve been over this” Simone answers him, holding back the tears forming in her eyes as she straightens his tie. “I need to do this. It’s for my benefit as much as it is for Emmett’s.”“I know, I know” Phillip states, holding out his arm for Simone to grab hold of. “We will be late if we don’t head over to the church now.”Walking out of her father’s house and sliding into the seat of an old Rolls Royce they hired; Simone pecks her father on the cheek. “Thanks Dad” she whispers as the car pulls onto the road for the small drive to the church. It was a small affair, only Phillip, Tiffany, Jenny, Vince and Sebastian; Jenny’s father was attending.Getting to the door of the chapel; Simone looks down at the alter and sees a fami
The small two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow came into view as Emmett turned down the street. It was at the end of a no through road; standing by itself. Unbeknownst to Simone; Emmett recently purchased the house a month prior and had been living there to not appear overly wealthy to her. He didn’t want any neighbours around, which made this house perfect for them.“Home, sweet home” Emmett exclaims, pulling into the driveway; watching Simone’s every reaction from the corner of his eye.Lifting her head to look through the front windscreen; “quaint little house” she says with a smile, opening the car door and heading to the trunk to grab her suitcase. ‘It looks very homely’ she adds to herself nervously.“Let me” Emmett says, grabbing the suitcase before shutting the trunk of the car and turning toward the front door. Before opening the door with his keys, a small playful smirk crosses his face.“What?” Simone questions, hesitant about what he was thinking.Placing the suitcase down b
Waking up the next morning; the smell of bacon cooking wafted through the air. Coming out of his room, Emmett saw Simone slaving over the stove. “Good morning” he announces, taking a seat at the dining table.“You’re awake” Simone responds, placing three eggs into the frypan. “Mrs Walker always said a wife should cook for her husband because food is the way to a man’s heart.”‘You already have my heart’ Emmett says to himself; trying not to smile to show his satisfaction with her comment. “There was no need to trouble yourself” he responds to her. He only purchased the food two days prior to the wedding. Emmett prefers to eat out but decided to get some supplies in case she wanted to cook.“It’s ok; I was cooking some for myself. I figured I should cook some for you too” Simone explains, placing the bacon, eggs, toast, and mushrooms on the table for Emmett to help himself to some breakfast.“Thank you” he says, reaching out to grab her hand; before quickly retracting it again. ‘No; sh
