Chapter 81 His Conflicted Thoughts

• DARBY’S HOME, LOS ANGELES.
• Staring out at the cool sky, Darby curled herself up into the resting chair she laid on. She had just returned from her aunt's house and suddenly felt all alone. Sinclair and Isabella are at Leo's place and he would bring them back tonight. Zac on the other hand seem to have gotten more busy after the whole ruckus of the paternity fraud. Even though it's all been settled, she still can't seem to get over the shame she was subjected to that day. It took her back to the time in high school when she had to defend herself over the pregnancy she was carrying.
• Tears rolled down the side of her eyes. Every time she thinks she is devoid of the past, something seemingly drags her into the limelight to shame her to death. Darby felt guilty for the harassment her son had to face. If she didn't hang around Zac too much, Abigail wouldn't have had anything to use against her. Darby couldn't understand the hate her stepsister possesses towards her. Despite the unfairness that was clear between them as they grew up.
