Chapter 37 – The latest news.

"This is for the most beautiful woman in the world," Martin walked in with a bouquet of flowers and handed it over to Sabrina.2

"Not again, Martin," Sabrina smiled while receiving the bouquet. She did not know how long it was going to take but she figured to just get used to it from Martin's response,

"Beautiful women should be spoiled with flowers each day. Sadly, this is just a business lunch. Shall we go now?" Martin pouted before stretching his hand towards Sabrina. 

"Sure." Sabrina took his hand after arranging the flowers in a vase.

Reaching the restaurant, they talked about the contract over lunch and Sabrina ended up signing the documents. 

Martin signed his portion as well and gave her two of the original copies, while he kept two.

"I must say that it's a pleasure doing business with you," Martin beamed. Sabrina responded with a curt smile,

"Same here, Mr. Dane."

Martin frowned imperceptibly, "If you keep calling me that, we might blow up our disguise."

"You have a point," Sabrina nodded her head and spoke. By the time Robin realized that Devin was her brother, he would think she was dating Martin so when the pregnancy began to show, he would not have any claim to it. From Sabrina's plan, she was ready to be a single mother.

Martin was happy to have claimed a first date, wanting to make a good impression so as not to make her regret it. 

"We should be leaving now. I know you are a very busy woman." Time was money and as expected, Sabrina was grateful for Martin's thoughtfulness. 

"Thank you, Martin."

As soon as they reached the entrance, they were swarmed by reporters. 

"Mrs. Jewel, we heard the news about Zayla Chance and your husband, though it was taken down within the early hours of yesterday," the reporter narrated.

He was very careful with his choice of words since neither Robin nor Sabrina had publicly declared to be divorced. It was wise to still address Sabrina by her ex-husband's name, irrespective of what Zayla had said. 

"Taken down?" 

Sabrina was surprised and said it was allowed. Devin had no intention of telling her since Sabrina would ask questions, and he would not have an answer, which would make her upset. The revelation seemed like a cold relief from a sprain.

"You seem surprised. Were you, not the one who ordered it to be taken down?" One of the reporters observed and spoke. 

Martin saw Sabrina's boldness in front of the media for which reason he did not attempt to stop them from asking questions. 

It was even better this way since it would save them trouble during the party, where reporters would be everywhere, looking for gossip.

"I know nothing about it," Sabrina honestly said. 

"Mrs. Jewel…" Another reporter was saying when Sabrina quickly cut her off.

"Sabrina James is the name," she clarified. The reporter had a stunned look on her face at the fact that even though Sabrina never appeared in public with Robin from the time his father died, she seemed to have great confidence in front of the media. This was something that most stars even struggled with.

"Is it true that you are barren and could not give Mr. Robin Jewel a child for which reason he divorced you?" 

Another reporter asked. Sabrina was about to agree. 

She wanted to tell them to believe everything they heard about her without wasting time to verify since she did not have the time to go around defending herself but Martin took charge.

He wanted to prove to her that he could protect her at any and every given time. 

"Enough! She is not obligated to answer your questions," he said coldly. His voice carried authority so the attention was shifted to him when he pulled Sabrina securely to his side with his arms firmly around her waist.

"Mr. Martin Dane, are you and Mrs.… Sorry, Miss James acquaintances?" A reporter asked and the rest nodded.

Martin smiled a little and said, "No, we were friends for a while but leveled up a few days ago."

There were wonder gasps from the news as one reporter tried to get the meaning of Martin's words, 

"You mean the two of you?"

"She is my girlfriend. We have to leave now," Martin said and was leading Sabrina away when the reporters ran to catch up with them. One of them asked,

"Are you aware that she's barren and won't be able to give you children?"

Martin chuckled and said directly, "My girlfriend is not barren and I will prove it to everyone. Come back for an interview in the next two months and I will have a doctor's report to prove it."

Sabrina smiled when the understanding sunk in that he was clearing the air for the news about her pregnancy. That way, no one would ask who the father of the child was. Smart move and Sabrina could not be more grateful.

"Then how can you explain her inability to conceive for the past three years?" A reporter paid by Zayla asked. Martin shrugged and said,

"How will I know? I am not a doctor or maybe, she and Robin were just not compatible. Or, he must have done it with too many women, that his sperm became weak. I just said maybe, don't take it literally." 

Sabrina could not stifle it, bursting into laughter, as did some of the genuine reporters.

Zayla's paid reporter was not amused and asked, "How can you explain Miss Chance's pregnancy then?"

Again, Martin said directly, "Well, I don't have proof, but the fact that she is pregnant does not mean Robin is responsible. If you ask me, why not have a DNA test after her child is born? The bitch is nothing but a whore."

Seeing that Martin's words might put them into trouble, no one was willing to ask any more questions but seeing their shocked expressions, Martin decided to clarify,

"Everything I said today has nothing to do with Sabrina. If anyone has a problem, they should come to me. I take responsibility for my words and actions so please excuse us. We have a busy day ahead," Martin concluded and walked past them.

No one dared to question him again and Sabrina could not be happier. Most people knew Devin so their fake relationship would not have survived this.

'Smash!'

Robin threw his phone and it hit the LED screen in his office, it broke and the interface turned black.
