Chapter 80 Being Leo RobinLOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENTDarby was having a good laugh like a maniac despite being retained behind bars. Abigail had gone berserk refusing to be in the same space as her sister. The face was severely battered and it made Darby feel really good. That was payback for all the pain and trouble Abigail caused her over the years, she is the reason herself and Leo aren't together at the moment. Aside all of that, she was never going to forgive anyone who makes mockery of her son. Abigail winced as ice pack is being placed on her face, she cursed bitterly at Darby and insisted that she gets to charged to court. Her anger was on the rise at Darby's unrepentant look.The door opened letting in Leo as he made his way to the counter hurriedly. Zac walked in at the same time."I am here for Darby Miller." The both of them blurted at the same time only then did they notice each other."Leo? What are you doing here?" Darby asked from where she was locked."Which one o
Chapter 81 His nagging wifeLEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Yawning as he got down from the car, a small grin appeared on his face. He had a good time at Darby's. After dinner Sinclair seem to have a lot of energy and he wouldn't let Leo go until he fell asleep. It enabled him enough time to talk more with Darby and get enough insight about her family. Turns out they have been bothering her for a while before she lost her cool. He would have done worse if someone had done that to him too. Even though he had heard few things about Abigail, he never did get to know her on a personal level. He had totally forgotten that he has a wife at home who would be worried about his whereabout.Chloe had a fierce look on her face with her legs crossed on the couch, she had prepared dinner in the hope of sharing a moment with him to ease her guilt, instead he had put her on hold without picking her call. She was angry and couldn't hold herself back from lashing out which was why she had chosen to wait up f
Chapter 82 Background checkMILLER’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Abigail woke up with a groan as it felt like her body had undergone a very strenuous activity. Her head was pounding hard like it would fall off if it kept up like that for hours. She cursed bitterly as she pushed herself to sit up. Sitting on her butt felt uncomfortable and she realized hunger seem to be getting the best of her. Getting off the bed, she went straight to her vanity mirror to see herself. Abigail gasped in shock at the horrendous sight in front of her. Her face looked like it had gone through a ridiculous restructuring.Despite visiting the hospital yesterday to have the face checked, it didn't stop the swollen sight and blue marks on it. Slamming her palm angrily on the dresser she screamed in agony. There is no way she would be able to attend classes with a face like that, biting hard on her lower lip she felt a sharp pain in her teeth. Opening it widely, she felt her front teeth shake, almost like it couldn't h
Chapter 83 Emma’s fear and guiltDS FASHION HOUSE, LOS ANGELES."This is beautiful." Anthony commented as he looked around. He had decided to make a visit to his daughter’s fashion house and he was beyond impressed. Emma had been courageous enough to relay in details how Darby's life has been like so far and he couldn't be more prouder of what she has done with herself.Darby smiled shyly as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "I'm glad you like it."He turned to her hold her arm. “You have done amazingly well, Darby and I am very proud of you. Please, do not hesitate to reach out to me for help. I would love to be at your beck and call.""Come on, dad. I know you mean well but I can assure you that I don't need anything.""Well, it's at the moment. At least I hope you wouldn't stop me from getting you and Sinclair things."She raised both of her hands in surrender. “It would be very wrong of me to do that. All I want is to spend as much time as I can with you.""Thank you for giving
Chapter 84 A prankLEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Chloe stayed quiet as she played around with the food in her plate. Her mind was everywhere and nothing pleases her, all she wants is to find somewhere serene and scream out her lungs. Since she became aware of the pregnancy and the doctor telling her she wouldn't be able to abort the unwanted pregnancy, her body and mind went into a depressive state and she can't seem to focus on anything.Leo wasn't helping matters too with his disinterest in finding out what was wrong with her. It even appears like he has been doing his best to avoid her. However, she has made up her mind to tell him the news, it took her the entire night to build up the courage and if she misses her chance right now, then she might be forced to do something drastic. Her eyes lingered on his thighs as he walked towards the dining table, he mouthed a thank you to the help who served his food."Good morning, baby. How are you today?" He asked smiling weakly at her.She grum
Chapter 85 Anonymous TipROBIN MOTORS COMPANY, LOS ANGELES.Chewing on the tongue as he stared blankly at the computer screen, Leo kept replaying the situation he was in with Chloe during breakfast. He had no intention to throw an accusation at her with so much confidence but he just could not accept the fact that she is carrying his child. It's possible that she isn't even pregnant and thinks she is. He couldn't fathom the basis of the situation. There is no way in hell he would accept that so easily. They would have to visit a doctor to be sure she is pregnant. It won't be surprising if Chloe is just using the pregnancy as an excuse to get to him.He rubbed at his forehead in frustration, trying to process his thoughts. He should have known Chloe coming back from Pennsylvania with an odd attitude was going to breed nothing but trouble for him. Still reeling through his thoughts, Leo's phone rang calling his attention. Sighing at the caller, he answered the phone.‘Hey, mum.’ He mumb
Chapter 86 DNA ResultROBIN FAMILY HOME, LOS ANGELES.Ethan kissed his teeth in anger as he stared at the paper in his hand. He looked livid. Leo sighed tiredly throwing his head to the back, as he caressed a sleeping Sinclair in hand. The room was dead silent as the men looked lost in thoughts. They were seated in the study."I can't believe this shady bloggers." Ethan bellowed breaking the silence. "They just had to go to this length for content?"Leo sat up as he stared at the DNA test result in his father's hand. Just as Anthony had advised they had done a paternity test and it was delivered the next day after Anthony pulled strings for an urgent result. Just as they all know, Leo is Sinclair's father. He had come to show it to his father to seek advice if there is a better way to handle the situation without making the media houses have an upper hand."I didn't want to dad. But I just had to do it for Darby and Sinclair's sake. It's so crazy that our business has to be all out in
Chapter 87 The ArrestMILLER’S HOME, LOS ANGELES."Do you really have to go?" Abigail asked Harold as he had his traveling bag in his hand ready to leave.Harold snorted. “You told me yourself that I need to go get a job and have a life. Why then are you against me leaving now?"She huffed. “As hard as it is for me to admit, I am going to feel so lonely here. Dad is nowhere to be found and there is you leaving for only God knows where."He chuckled ruffling her head, "You have some good cash with you, call your friends to come around. I am sure dad would be back soon. I really need to leave now before I miss my flight."Pouting her lips, she leaned into him for a hug hiding her teary eyes. "Let me know when you get there. Do take care of yourself.""I'm amused to see you act so mushy towards me. It's nice to see." Harold teased.Abigail rolled her eyes. “Just go, your taxi is waiting."She didn't bother to follow him outside to avoid crying shamelessly. The past few days has been quit

Darby had insisted on a small wedding where only their family members are in attendance. He would have loved to show her to the world but he had to oblige to her needs. Seeing everyone's familiar happy face made him appreciate her decision. He smiled widely at Sinclair running around the open space stressing out both of his grandfathers."What are you looking at?" Aaron questioned in a taunting voice next to him.His eyes had been on Darby who seem to be having a good time talking to all of the women in attendance. Zac and Chloe were in attendance too, it surprised Leo when Chloe had told him about their new found friendship. It made him delighted that Chloe wasn't doing the pregnancy alone. Something he wished to have done during Darby's pregnancy with Sinclair.Leo grinned cheerfully. "I am staring at my beautiful bride. I can't believe
Chapter 104 Heart to heart confessionDARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES."Hey, baby." Leo spread out his arms as Darby rushed towards him. "How was your day?"Darby hummed as she leaned into his embrace inhaling his smell. "Hectic. Thank you for breakfast. It was amazing.""I'm glad you liked it. Are you ready to go home now?""Yes, please." He opened the door for her to get in before rounding the car. Darby looked around the car hurriedly. "Where is Sinclair?"Leo gulped, chuckling nervously. "I dropped him off with your parents. I hope you don't mind.""Why?""It's just for the night. I thought you needed to relax." He seemed worried that she isn't pleased with his decision.A mischievous grin appeared on her face. “Does this mean we would be spending the night alone?" Leo nodded in response. "Sweet!" She bellowed in excitement.He laughed in delight. "I'm glad you aren't angry."Darby reached for his hand. "I'm most delighted, Leo. Thank you. I love my son, but I love you too.""You are so
Chapter 103 The IntruderDARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Darby giggled into Leo's chest as he tickled her side while placing wet kisses on her face and nape. Her hands roamed his body hungrily. The past three days since he moved into the house, her sexual desire had gotten on a wild increase. Because it has been a long while, she couldn't bring her body to open up just yet. But there is something magical about Leo's touch that makes her want to lose control.Locking lips with her, Leo held her closely to himself moaning at the feel of her delicate skin. Darby grabbed a handful of his hair kissing him passionately. When he flipped her to be on top, his hands squeezed her breasts gently and she felt pleasure juices splatter out of her pussy. Slowly she began to grind against his already hard dick. Her hand found its way into his trouser until she was holding onto the shaft like her life depended on it.Leo moaned as her finger trailed his length. Flipping to change their position again, he p
Chapter 102 Family HangoutDARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Yawning loudly as she stepped out of her room, Darby scratched at her eyes when she saw Leo doing a pushup in the middle of the living room with Sinclair seated on his back and laughing heartily. Her heart melted at the sight, she was wondering why she got to sleep like a baby all through the night. It had almost skipped her mind that her man was around."I see you two are burning enough calories." She said."Mummy!' Sinclair called out getting off his father's back to meet his mother. She lifted him off the ground and kissed his cheeks.Leo stopped halfway to look at her. "Good morning, baby."Darby walked closer to him, placing Sinclair on the floor and she caressed Leo's hair. "How was your night?""Very fine, thank you." He grinned resting his head on his hand as his eyes trailed her face. "You look so beautiful."She blushed shyly. “Stop trying to appease me. I know I look a mess.""You know one thing I don't do is tell a lie

How has it been working in that condition?’ He inquired, pulling his suit over his shoulder.Chloe's laughter sifted through the phone speaker. "It has been nice. My dad and godmother seem to have nothing else to do but fuss over me. It can be too much sometimes but I really can't complain.’He grinned, ‘I'm glad you have them with you.’‘How is Darby and Sinclair? She called to check on me few days ago.’At the mention of his girlfriend and son, he couldn't hide the sheer joy he felt. ‘They are doing really well.’‘I should go now. Work is about to start.’‘I need to leave home now, too. I would call you later. Do take care.’ He said, waving at her as he hung up the call.Whistling a happy tune to himself, Leo typed a quick message and sent it to Darby. Her reply came in almost immediately. It made him feel giddy know
Chapter 100 Apologies acceptedANTHONY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES."Wow!" Maureen exclaimed at the sight of Anthony’s house. It's no surprise that he appears lonely. She feels it's absurd for a single person to live alone in such massive space.Darby nodded alongside her mother, her father is no doubt doing very well for himself. "We should hurry. It's bad enough that we arrived late.""Blame Maureen for using up our time." Emma chuckled.She flipped her hair in response. "I never can tell who I will be meeting here. I want to be prepared just in case.""It a close knitted family gathering, aunt." Isabella chipped in her eyes laughing.As they got to the door Anthony had his arms wide open to welcome them, Sinclair ran towards him not minding that his legs are just healing from the shock of the accident.

Chapter 99 Love historyLEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Scarlett nudged Aaron on the side, motioning towards her brother who sat with his back arched like someone who has lost his chances at life. "He has been like this for more than a week. Not even Sinclair's presence would cheer him up much."Aaron exhaled tiredly, he had only just returned from ending a successful basketball season delighted to share his wins with his friend but instead he met him looking out of the world. "I have been trying to reach him, it's almost like he is far away.""Whenever you ask him, he says nothing is wrong and hold up a very weak smile. But his eyes say something entirely different." She said sounding worried. After getting discharged from the hospital feeling very better, Scarlett had offered to stay with her brother for sometime considering the fact that his supposed wife was no longer with him all in an attempt to keep him company.However Leo didn't seem to notice anything around him as he has been movi
Chapter 98 What she wantsDARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Breathing heavily as she stared out at the early morning sky, Darby sipped on her black coffee. She didn't know why she chose to subject herself to such uninteresting caffeine but then the heart want what it wants. It was a bit late when she returned to the house with her mother. Leo had waited for her, Sinclair was already asleep by the time they returned. Maureen who had been waiting up anxiously for Emma was forced to retire to bed when the latter didn't say a word to her.She and Leo on the other hand got to act normal with each other. Even though Leo obviously wanted to discuss more on why they had argued in the first place, Darby was over it and she didn't want to be dragged to the past again. It has been a long couple of weeks and all she wants to do is rest and get back to the pile of orders from clients awaiting her at the fashion house. Drumming her nail on the side of the cup, she hummed absentmindedly. Isabella stepped o
Chapter 97 The visitMAUREEN’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.It took a while for Darby to get a hold of her mother. When she stepped out of the restaurant, Emma was nowhere to be seen and she wouldn't pick her calls. The police arrived and whisked Noah away from disrupting the peace of the restaurant. Since their lunch was ruined they had all practically lost their appetite. Unable to leave her mum wandering on the streets of LA, Darby pleaded with the rest to go back to the penthouse while she tries to find Emma.She went to the hospital just incase Emma ran into the arms of Anthony but he didn't see her either and has been trying to reach her. Since Darby didn't come with a car, Anthony drove them to Maureen's house. If Emma isn't there then they would have no other choice but to report her missing to the police. They didn't need to go to the police as she was found curled up on the porch bawling her eyes out.Darby stared at her mother pitifully, wondering how hard it must be for her to take
