Chapter 68 – Matilda’s probing.

"Tell me Zayla, why did you not tell my father that you saved my life when he was forcing you to leave for Europe?"1

Zayla froze and her silence mode was instantly activated. When she saw that Robin was getting impatient, she smiled and said,

"Darling, he might think I was only doing it to be close to you. I did it from my heart and no one had to know about it."

Robin's expression was unreadable so Zayla could not tell if he believed her or not. He went on to say, 

"My father would not have sent you away if he knew that you were the anonymous donor. But why did you not tell me before leaving for Europe?" He asked again.

Zayla's expression changed instantly and the next moment, her fingers clasped her stomach,

"Robin, I don't feel too good. I need rest. I've been battered and I'm exhausted."

Robin frowned and worry creased his brows. 

"Let's go to the hospital."

When it was about the baby in her womb, he did not want to take chances. That child was his only confirmed hope of having an heir to inherit his fortune. 

At the mention of the hospital, Zayla felt uneasy and quickly smiled,

"No. Just some rest and I will be fine."

At Devin's penthouse

"Sabrina, you still have not told me what happened," Martin asked calmly. He was worried and had parked the car after driving in silence till they got back to the penthouse. He was slightly excited about Sabrina's timely interruption, which saved him from giving Robin any form of response.

He also had a feeling that Robin was too respectable to reveal his secret to Sabrina. Martin did not immediately unlock the door and Sabrina snapped out of her thoughts before she responded,

"It's nothing. I will be fine."

Martin was disappointed. He knew that Sabrina was not the violent type so whatever Zayla must have said, must have gotten Sabrina so upset for her to react that way. 

"It was our date. You should please tell me," He subtly insisted. 

Sabrina felt that he had a point and he was also concerned, thereby summarizing everything for him,

"She called me a whore and I lost control."

Martin grimaced. The nerve of Zayla to refer to Sabrina as such. He sighed and encouraged her, 

"You did not lose control. You did the right thing. I'm sorry for not being there to protect you."

Sabrina was still upset, thereby saying, 

"Thanks for the date. I have to go now."

"I will walk you to the door," Martin said, unlocked the door, and went around to open it for her. When they opened the door, Devin was surprised to see them arrive early with Sabrina's soiled mood. 

"What happened to her?"

Devin was looking at Sabrina but his question was directed at Martin, who subtly responded,

"Zayla called her a whore and she slapped the bitch."

"Good one so why is her mood like this?" Devin asked again, looking even more disturbed. 

He was not expecting them to return so early and neither did he expect to see Sabrina looking upset.

"It's Robin. We should talk later," Martin said and closed the door. 

He was afraid of Devin asking so many questions including how he was not there beside Sabrina. 

Too many questions could easily cause him to either tell another lie or spit the truth, which would be brutal.

"What did Robin do?" Devin asked Sabrina and she burst into tears whiles cursing, 

"I hate him. I hate him so much. I hate him with all my heart."

Martin heard it from behind the door and a smile formed on his face as he walked to his car. 

Since Sabrina hated Robin now, she would not give him the chance to say anything about Mara, even if he wanted to.

"Brina, what is going on?"

Matilda descended the stairs and pulled Sabrina into her arms. She did not intend to sleep until Sabrina returned so her ears had been attentive to any sounds coming from downstairs. 

Sabrina was just sobbing and did not say a word but Matilda was patient. She kept stroking her hair until Sabrina calmed down and narrated everything to them.

After Sabrina's narration, Matilda had two questions in mind and asked,

"Why does she want that villa when Robin could easily give her another one and why did Martin go to talk to Robin about the fact that he had to swap chairs with Zayla?"

Sabrina thought deeply about both questions before she responded, 

"I don't know what she wants with the villa but Robin's dad made me swear to not let Robin have it. As for Martin, I did not ask him what he went to talk about with Robin."

"I think you should. What if Robin was already upset? And what if his concern was because you hit a pregnant woman?" Matilda asked all at once. 

She was afraid of Mara hurting Sabrina, for which reason she did not want Sabrina to break contact with Robin but she could not say it directly.

She was grateful for Martin's help in bringing her out of her father's caged mansion but was also concerned about the safety of her best friend.

"Pregnant or not, if she can't tame her dirty mouth, then she would have to be taught a good lesson," 

Devin said seriously. It seemed to him that Zayla did not learn his lesson from the last time.

"You have a point Devin but don't you think Sabrina deserves to know what Martin discussed with Robin?" Matilda punched on that aspect once again. 

Devin did not see anything wrong in finding out so he told Sabrina,

"Brina, call him and find out."

Sabrina nodded her head and dialed Martin's number. He answered it on the first ring since he was worried sick, thinking that something must have happened to her. 

"Sabrina, is everything alright?" 

"Yes, everything is fine. I was just curious. What were you discussing with Robin? You took quite a while, you know?"
