33: Chapter 33 – Devin teaches Zayla a lesson

Chapter 33 – Devin teaches Zayla a lesson

Due to the pain, Zayla could not speak immediately and tears fell from her eyes. The heat from the slap was enough to bring her mind home from wherever it was before.0

"What…what do you want from me?" 

She held her burning cheek and asked in a tear-filled stammer. Robin glared at her. 

From the moment Sabrina cried because of that news, he began to plan his revenge against Zayla. All along, it was difficult to get her since she either stayed with Robin or her parents. 

Devin insisted that the spy kept tailing her to update him anytime she was alone and now, here she was, at his mercy.

"My message is simple. I don't care what happens between you and Robin but if you ever complicate my woman ever again, I will kill you and no one will know about it."

Hearing his words, Zayla wanted to laugh. She knew that if she got out of there, Robin would avenge her but her purpose at the moment was to leave the washroom in one piece. The man already slapped her and only God knew what he would do next.

"Robin will find you out," she threatened him but Devin laughed. Everything was well planned without a trace.

"You think so? How will he find me out really?" 

Zayla bit her lower lips in deep thought, as fear slipped through her. She was about to reply when he said again, 

"If I deny ever setting eyes on you, it will be your words against mine."

"But there are cameras," Zayla countered. Devin laughed again and revealed,

"There are ways around cameras you see and right now, you are at my mercy so tell me, what is the problem with you and my woman?"

Zayla frowned a little. This man had said before that he could give Sabrina anything she wanted so it would not be hard for him to advise her to leave the villa, right? 

"I just want the villa."

"And that you can't have and if you ever mention her name one more time in the face of the media, I will find you, and I will kill you. As for now, call them and tell them to take down the news," Devin requested. 

Zayla paled. After the sacrifice of moving to her parent's house to keep the news, how could she take it down?

"No." She refused. 

Devin was upset. He warned her, "I'm not Robin, bitch. I will kill you and it's not an ordinary threat."

He already slapped her and she was locked in the ladies' room with him. Indeed, anything could happen. Perhaps she should do as he says and inform Robin later when she gets the chance. 

Gritting her teeth, Zayla took out her phone and dialed the number of the media rep who published the news. 

"Please take down my interview with you last week on all channels."

From the end of the line, the media rep was not amused, seeing the publicity the video got in such a short time. It was the hottest and most trending news so far. 

"Are you sure about this?" He asked from the end of the line. Zayla glanced at the man in front of her who looked like he was going to cut her body into tiny pieces any moment from now.

"I'm positive. I think my engagement with Robin should be secret for now. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Alright if you say so. Don't forget to count on me at any time," the rep said.

"Thank you," Zayla responded before hanging up. 

Devin had a genuine smile on his face as he said,

"Surprisingly, you can be mature. Have a nice day, Zayla."

Devin walked out before Zayla stepped out of the shock of what he made her do. "You won't get away with this, Sabrina's boyfriend," she muttered under her breath, forgetting what she came to do in the ladies' room.

She stepped out but Devin was nowhere in sight. She saw one of the cleaners and asked, "Did you see a tall man in a brown suit?"

The cleaner looked around innocently before shaking his head,

"No."

"Are you sure, he left like a minute ago," Zayla recalled and said, not believing that the man would just disappear into thin air. 

She needed a witness since Devin had threatened to mess with the cameras.

"I've been here for at least five minutes but I saw no one," the cleaner maintained his innocent look and responded.

Zayla realized that Devin must have bribed the cleaner, and her shoulders dropped. But her hopes rose again. 

At least, Robin would believe her and yes, her cheeks were still red. Also, Robin was rich enough to have an investigation done into the matter. 

Reaching her mother at the table, she said hastily, 

"Mom, Robin called. He wants to see me in his office."

"Ah, let's go together," her mother stood up with the take-outs and said, Zayla's gaze dropped. 

"No, mom, please go back with the driver. I will take a cab," Zayla refused. She needed to see Robin alone. 

Since she did not want her to come along, her mother gave up.

"No, you are pregnant so you go with the driver while I take the cab."

"Alright mom, thank you," Zayla said and turned to leave when her mother caught sight of the redness on her cheek.

"Zayla, what happened to your cheek?"

"Mom, I don't know what you are talking about. I will see you. Please take my food to the office. I will meet you there," Zayla said and rushed out.

When she arrived at Robin's office, she did not bother to greet the secretary, walking past her to the President's office. 

"Miss…" Aria's words hung in the air when Zayla opened the door.

"Please Mr. President, I can't take it anymore."

"Shut up and get out!" Robin yelled.

"You are next," he commanded. Zayla froze and forgot to close the door when a naked woman run past her.
