Chapter 31 Mistaken identityLEO’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Leo blinked at the morning sun shining brightly on his face. He didn't remember pulling the curtains at might. As he tried adjusting his eyes to the light, he saw Chloe picking up his clothes which he had taken off and tossed to the ground before getting into bed last night. Meeting with Darby had put him in a mood and to get over it he had held a pity party for himself and drank a bit too much. His head ached."What are you doing here, Chloe?" He asked in a croaky voice as he sat up straight on the bed.Chloe had a displeased look on her face. "Do you know what time it is?""Past noon." He replied letting out a loud yawn."Really, baby? Why are you always so comfortable sleeping in for so long on a weekend?""Why can't I sleep in for as long as I want on a weekend?""Because you need to spend sometime with me baby." She cooed affectionately, crawling onto the bed with a seductive smile.Leo leaned further into the bed like he was

Chapter 33 The ClauseROBINS MOTORS COMPANY, LOS ANGELES.It took Darby a long while after staring hard at the tall building to realize it wouldn't be so easy to meet with the CEO of such prestigious company. Sighing in frustration, she knew it would be foolish for her to turn back after driving for such long minutes while enduring LA's lunch traffic. Taking a deep breath, she walked in squaring her shoulders. She approached a guard and asked where the CEO's floor was and he responded politely to her surprise. Getting into the elevator, she pressed the button for the thirteenth floor, anxiety gripped at Darby’s body and she hoped fervently that she wouldn't regret not waiting for Leo to get back to her himself. At the same time it's about her son and she needs to let Leo know that he can't mess around with her boy.The elevator bell dinged notifying her of her destination, stepping into the floor Darby felt clueless on what to do or where to go. Different people kept moving back and

Chapter 35 That is daddyDARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES"Can you just take a deep breath?" Isabella urged Darby as she arranged the couch for the umpteenth time. "It's not like your boyfriend is the one visiting." She added.Darby let out air from her mouth. "I can't just help the anxiety that fills my insides. What if they don't get along?""Why won't they?""Sinclair has never seen him before. Even though I didn't say Zac was his father, the boy practically sees him as that and has adjusted to his presence. What if he throws a fit when he sees Leo?""How about you let the boy decide that himself."Darby swallowed hard as she walked towards the fridge to get water. She has never been so anxious like she has been for the past few days. It felt like the week moved so slowly, she couldn't wait to get over Sinclair meeting his real father. Aside asking for the house address in a polite text the night before, Leo hasn't communicated with her since then. It made her worried that he might have

Chapter 37 The ConfrontationDS FASHION HOUSE, LOS ANGELES.Darby checked the time again it was almost nine and she still can't leave. The dress she was working on seem to be taking more time than expected. It would have been easy to tell her assistants to finish up while she returned home to her son but it would end in tears if she did that. The dress has to be sent to New York by morning. The client seem indecisive on the exact design she wanted and had asked for the plain stones to be replaced with flowered stoned patterns.Taking a deep breath, she leaned into the couch to rest for another few minutes while the assistants worked on the dress tail. Forty more minutes and they would be done. A message popped up on her phone bringing a smile to her face. Chloe was asking if she was still at work and with pride as regards her hard work, she replied yes.Her phone rang in the process, it was Zac calling. Smiling weakly she answered the call. ‘Hello there, mister.’ She drawled.Zac chuc

Chapter 39 Choice and ChanceWILSON’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.Ana paced the living room back and forth hissing and mumbling profanities under her breath. "I can't believe she would do that? What exactly is wrong with that girl?" She yelled."Calm down." Her friend, Desire cautioned. "Your legs aren't so strong it would be nice for you to sit."Ignoring the warning, she stood by the stairs and yelled. "Chloe! I'm sure you can hear me girl. Get your bloody ass down here.""Can you not bully the girl, please." Charles muttered from the couch he sat on, looking pleadingly towards his wife.She turned angrily to her husband. “Don't you start with your pity party, Charles. It's your fault that she acts so privileged and spoilt. She needs to know we work fucking hard to get the money she spends. Not with her stupid hobby that doesn't earn her anything.""She does earn well, Ana. Chloe has just been distracted by the wedding preparation lately." Desire chipped in.Ana threw daggers at Desire with
