Chapter 194 - Let’s get married Sabrina, that is all I want
Sabrina woke up in a strange room, feeling weird, and wondering how she got there. 2
Seeing the cannula on her wrist and the fluid in a transparent rubber hanging above her, she feared the worse.
Panicking, she looked to her side.
"Brina, you are awake. I will get the doctor," Matilda said excitedly, headed for the door when Sabrina stopped her,
"Wait, what I'm I doing here?"
The last time she checked, she was in her office having that tense conversation with her father about the document he accused her of signing, for which she vaguely recalled the details of it.
"You fainted at your office and Devin brought you with your dad. He left both companies in Lizzy's hands and called me to come over. How are you?" Matilda hugged her and asked.
Sabrina still did not remember how her fingers found their way to that document and she never remembered seeing it before.
Since the documents were from Martin, only he had the answers she was looking for.
"I'm fine, can you get me my phone please?" She asked politely, Matilda was disturbed since Cobby told her to keep Sabrina away from the phone to not be disturbed by the news.
However, she felt that Sabrina wanted to call her father but decided to confirm it.
"Who are you calling?"
"Martin," Sabrina responded with a cold countenance.
"Sabrina…" Matilda shook her head since she did not want Sabrina to suffer another shock but she pleaded,
"Please."
Matilda took a deep breath, resolving to stay alert and call the doctor in case of anything before reluctantly giving the phone to her.
"Alright."
As soon as Sabrina unlocked the phone, she was met with a lot of missed calls but the most current one was that of Martin so she redialed his number.
He answered it as if he had been waiting for her call for a long time and pretended to not know that he was aware she was in the hospital.
"Sabrina, I've been trying to reach you."
"Reach me for what?" Sabrina's anger boiled and she asked.
Her father warned her to be careful so how could she lose her guard? She was not one to be careless too but Martin outsmarted her somehow and she could not accept it.
Martin felt like he was working against time and also felt that Sabrina had just regained consciousness.
He was not sure if she heard the news about Cobby's act of damage control and the money he claimed to have but decided to play on her conscience to get what he wanted.
"Sabrina, I proposed to you a few hours ago and you accepted. You even agreed and signed off seventy percent of your company shares."
Sabrina's face was drained of color. After her divorce from Robin, she never considered being married again, especially when she already had a child growing inside of her, only intending to give the child all her love, time, and support.
She never would have agreed to something like that.
"Stop it, Martin, how can all that happen and I don't remember anything?"
Martin pretended to be offended on the phone.
Knowing that Sabrina was an honest woman who kept her word, he felt that if he held her to it, she would feel guilty and give in to his demands.
"You don't?"
"Martin, please tell me the truth, did you drug me or something? I don't remember seeing you today," Sabrina said directly, Martin had a confirmation in his heart that whatever proof Robin and Cobby talked about was non–existent because if so, then why would Sabrina be asking him this question?
It also meant that he had to work fast to get her to comply. His voice turned pitiful, saying,
"Oh Sabrina, you are breaking my heart. You mean that after all the promises we made to each other, you are denying not seeing me?"
Sabrina was not comfortable with this and she would not allow herself to feel guilty over something she did not remember but for now, she had to wipe the shame of her investors thinking that she was incompetent.
"Martin, please return the shares."
"Okay," Martin agreed and Sabrina's heart warmed a little, she insisted,
"Alright please do so now."
"There is a condition attached tk the demand," he said and Sabrina felt that things were not going to be easy.
Matilda was also worried about her from the things she heard her say and how she grew paler and paler.
"And what is that?" She asked seriously. Martin said eagerly,
"We have to finalize our marriage."
Sabrina was taken aback and yelled, "You are crazy. If you proposed and I accepted, then I should have signed the marriage certificate too, don't you think?"
Martin was getting impatient, resolving to apply a little force to scare her a little.
"Sabrina, if you don't marry me, then I'm not returning the shares and you know what that would mean for you. Not even your father's vague promises in front of the press would be able to save you."
Sabrina had no idea of what her father was doing to curb the situation but knowing that her signature was on that document, she felt strongly that he would just try to carry her shame because she was pregnant, but she didn't want that.
"Martin, why are you doing this?" Sabrina asked, tears brimming in the back of her eyes to not have stayed away from Martin as Robin and her father warned.
She was also beginning to believe that Martin was Mara's sister from how he was becoming, which got her panicked.
Mara was like a nightmare to her and the thought alone gave her shivers.
The bitch, even when little, almost killed Sabrina so what would she do to her if she was alive?
The more Sabrina thought about it, the greater her conviction that her father was right and Mara might still be alive.
Her mood worsened when Martin requested,
"Let's get married, Sabrina. That is all I want."
Sabrina was furious.
"I hate you, Martin. I hate that my brother is your best friend. I hate you so much," Sabrina kept yelling and cursing on the phone, Matilda felt scared and tried to take the phone from her but Sabrina refused to give it to her whilst she continued to rain abuses on Martin.
