CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 82 Background check

MILLER’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 hold up much in the gum. She would have to get the teeth checked.

“Darby!” She gritted in anger.

Even though she does feel compensated by the money Leo sent to her, it still isn’t enough to calm Abigail. Darby had a prideful look on her face and she would love to do whatever it takes to wipe that smug look off her face. The scenario that played out at the police station made Abigail angry. How is it that Darby has two whole men coming through for her at the slightest discomfort? Not just that but they were ready to do whatever it takes to save Darby.

It made her feel jealous and resentful, Darby doesn’t deserve such life to her and for somebody who is a product of pure infidelity. Abigail feels it’s just right for her to not find happiness or peace of mind. And if going overboard on her part would put Darby in the place she deserves then so be it. She rubbed at her face again and winced at the pain, getting back at Darby is the only way she would feel good. Her downfall will be the consolation price for Abigail missing classes because of her disfigured face.

Smirking in delight to herself, she made her way out of the room. The moment she got to the living room, Harold whistled loudly. He stood up holding onto his waist.

“What the hell happened to you?” He bellowed with a hidden smirk on his face.

“There is no need for you to act like you care. What time did you return home yesterday and where is dad?” Abigail retorted as she made her way to the kitchen to make herself something to eat.

Harold shrugged throwing himself back into the couch. “I had a late night out and as for your dad I don’t think I have seen him in the last two days.”

“And it doesn’t bother you?”

“Why should I care? It’s not like he is a child or something. He would find his way back home.”

“So much for wanting a son. You are so useless.” She hissed.

“Be the good daughter and put a call through to him also. If you would act all high and mighty. You might as well start putting in some actions now.”

Abigail eyeballed him as she brought out a pack of milk from the fridge. “Tell me something. Isn’t it high time you get a job?”

“Why question me when you are living off your parents too?”

“I am only twenty-one.”

“About twenty-two, stop fooling yourself.”

“It all still means you are four to five years older than I am and here you are sitting on the couch jobless and unbothered.”

“I see the beating you got on your face got the best of you. Don’t try to act grumpy with me. If you have a problem with yourself don’t try to take it out on me.” He warned returning his attention to his phone.

She mumbled words underneath her breath as she made herself some sandwich. None of them said anything as they got busy individually. The silence was taking a toll on Abigail, she had something to say to him, but her ego wouldn’t give in easily.

“Have you gotten any intel on your sister?” Harold asked.

Abigail raised her head slowly. “What?”

He snorted. “You don’t have a ear defect do you? We had a deal to sell out your sister to the blogger.”

“Oh that.” She acted disinterested at first, trying to form the right words to say. “Well, I do have something to share. I just need to be sure that you will keep your end of the bargain. I have a feeling you have crooked men like yourself as friends. I won’t be surprised if I get sidelined and not get anything.”

“Probably it’s best if you keep your information. I don’t know what it is they did to you, but it obviously got you real good.” He scoffed.

Rolling her eyes, Abigail dropped the sandwich in her hand. “Darby has a baby daddy from high school, but I think he had just met the boy recently. And there is another guy she moves around with who seems quite close with the kid too. Do you think something can be made out of it?”

Harold sat up hurriedly looking excited. “Definitely, it would be something juicy of course. Do you have a picture of them?”

“I have a picture of Darby and her kid with the other guy. We can always search for Leo’s picture on the net, he is quite a catch.”

“Who is Leo?”

“He is Darby’s baby daddy.”

“So, what does that have to do with anything? I thought Darby is our main celebrity?”

“Not at all, her baby daddy is the CEO of Robin Motors.”

He gasped. “What the actual fuck? You didn’t tell me I was related to a multimillionaire.”

Abigail kissed her teeth. “Can you quit getting distracted? Better don’t fool yourself. Darby isn’t our father’s child, so she is no way related to you. Focus your attention on what we have to do now. I don’t care about the people Darby is involved with what matters is bringing her name down.” She gritted.

“Can I take a look at the picture you have?” He asked.

“Sure.” She replied running off to her room to get her phone. She was back in no time and handed the phone to her brother after tapping on the picture.

Harold stared at the picture keenly, the man on the screen looked really familiar like he has seen him somewhere before. “What is the name of the man in the picture?”

“Zac.” Abigail stated casually.

Humming in response, he held his phone and scanned the picture. Searching for who the person was it brought out a full profile of Zac, the renowned stylist from San Francisco, currently working with Essence in Los Angeles. He checked for Leo Robin and just as Abigail said he is a billionaire and the son of the richest man in Los Angeles.

“Damn!” He exclaimed.

“What is it?”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The people you are trying to mess with aren’t just anyone.”

“Isn’t that suppose to sell more since they are celebrities? We just need to make them question Darby’s dignity and if Leo is truly the father.”

Harold blinked slowly as he tried to process the information. He has had situations that arose from messing with people of caliber and it didn’t end well. They would sue everyone that gets involved. But on a second thought he really needs the money to move to Pittsburgh where his mother lives with her mom. He intends to start his life afresh in a new place where no one is familiar with who he is. His father can’t be relied on because of the many debts he is in. Even if it would backfire all he has to do is play anonymous and they would get their money. Also he would be miles away from Los Angeles by then.

Taking a deep breath, he grinned at her. “Alright then, let’s do this!”
