38: Chapter 38 – The confusion after the storm

Chapter 38 – The confusion after the storm

Robin called Aria on the intercom. "I need a new phone and a new LED screen."2

Aria did not respond, quickly rushing to the office to see the damage caused. "Give me your phone," Robin demanded when he saw her. 

Aria was reluctant after the man had destroyed two phones in less than two weeks but unlocked and handed it over before walking away.

Robin could have used the land line but Aria could listen to their conversation for which reason he decided to use her phone. Also, if her phone was not with her, she would hasten the process of getting him the new one.

Dialing Daniel's number, Robin spoke without pleasantries, "Dan, I want you to get someone to investigate Martin Dane and you still have not given me anything about Sabrina's health record," he pointed out, not hiding his rage. 

Daniel was conversant with Aria's number so he was not surprised to receive a call from it. Only he did not think he'd be speaking to Robin.

Robin knew that Martin was attacking him directly. How dare he embarrass him so publicly. His sperms? Sabrina had mocked him with it before and he felt that it was not an accident. 

Sabrina must have bad-mouthed Robin in front of Martin but Zayla, what did Martin mean by her being a whore? 

Sabrina was divorced for barely two weeks now yet this was her second boyfriend and Martin dared to call Zayla a whore, asking for a paternity test after Robin's child was born? Was he insane? Robin's mood was ruined and he was not going to take it lightly. 

"I wanted to phone you about it earlier but I got busy. Since you asked, here it is. She did not go to the hospital for a check-up but to visit a doctor's friend. Sorry, there is nothing on her health record."

Robin was disappointed. Something inside of him wished that Sabrina was indeed pregnant with his child as he had thought but now, there was nothing. If Sabrina indeed got pregnant within the two months as the asshole had said, most fingers would point at Robin. Ah, his mind was in shambles. 

"And her ex-boyfriend?"

"Oh, you heard the news already? I still don't have a name for the guy Robin. It was even hard to get the information on Sabrina since she goes by her maiden name now."

"I thought she was a decent woman. Not up to two weeks, she already dumped a guy and got hooked on his friend."

"How do you know they are friends?" Daniel asked. Perhaps, that information might just help him to get what he was looking for.

"I saw the three of them together before," Robin informed.

"Good luck Robin. I will keep trying to get a name for her ex-boyfriend," Daniel said before hanging up.

Robin recalled the woman waiting for him and breathed deeply. Sex was a perfect relief from stress. He tried to use the same method as he did yesterday but this time, all he kept seeing was Sabrina in the arms of that Martin Dane smiling like an angel when she just proved to have no self-worth. 

"Please Mr. President, you are hurting me."

Robin's thoughts were interrupted by the cries of the woman beneath him. 

"Shut the fuck up!" He raged and pulled out, just as he ordered, 

"Get out!"

At the penthouse, Zayla shivered mercilessly, regretting calling Robin to watch the news. That man Martin Dane was worse than Sabrina's ex. 

While Zayla wallowed in the thought of how the news was going to affect her image, her phone rang. Seeing her mother's name, she was not ready for another bashful chastisement and refused to answer.

The call ended and began to ring again. She thought it was her mother and was about to press the silence button when she saw her father's name. Quickly, her finger slid over the answer button.

"Zayla, have you seen what you have caused?" Her father was upset. Zayla did not inform him before the interview but when it went in their favor, he did not complain. When a problem arose, he pinned it back on her.

"Dad, what do we do?" 

Zayla was helpless. Since she was in these cahoots with her father, he had to find a solution. How could she have known that this guy would cause so much trouble?

"Robin is not a fool. He will investigate. Focus on the villa and get out of there," her father advised from the end of the line but Zayla frowned deeply. If she got the villa for him, then what about her? However, she could not directly refuse.

"Alright, dad, but I love him."

From her tone, her father sensed she was not willing to comply. 

"Zayla, If you mess things up, you are on your own. Why did you have to mention his ex-wife in the interview? That was the genesis of your problems," her father jagged out.

"I thought that upsetting her would force her to return the documents to the villa," Zayla explained. her father let out a frustrated sigh at the end of the line before saying,

"It seems she isn't alone. She has men watching out for her."

"Who are they?"

Zayla asked, recalling that Robin had asked her. If she could at least provide the name of Sabrina's ex-boyfriend, Robin could deal with him on her behalf.

"Martin Dane is Sabrina's brother's best friend."

Zayla was shocked. Her friendship with Sabrina did not last long so there were so many things she did not know about her. This revelation was too shocking. 

"Sabrina has a brother?"

"Yes, and a sister."

"Do you have an image of him?" Zayla asked with shaky hands.

"Hold on, I'll send it to you."

When Zayla received the image, her eyes almost popped out of the socket. 

"He…he…"

"What is it, Zayla?" Her father was disturbed that something was happening to her.

"He was the one pretending to be her boyfriend. We met them at the restaurant before and he slapped me yesterday."

"He slapped you?" The middle-aged man was furious at the end of the line. Only he had the right to slap his daughter, nobody else.

"Yes, and forced me to take down the news about Sabrina."

"Then Robin should not know. Let him keep the impression that Sabrina is not a decent woman and use it to your advantage," her father advised. 

"Okay dad," Zayla sighed defeatedly. It seemed to her that Sabrina was always a step ahead. Now, she could not expose Sabrina's brother because Robin would know that Sabrina had not moved on as early as he thought.

Three days later, Robin received a call from Daniel. "I sent you everything you need to know about Martin Dane."
