Chapter 205 – Do it Mara, it’s my ass on fire and not yours.

Sabrina took Matilda's suggestion and went to the study at the same time Devin was coming out, not surprised to see her in front of the door, right when she was about to knock.2

"Brina, have you seen the video I sent to you?"

Devin was watching her appearance carefully when asking the question. 

Sabrina let out a smile before replacing it with a curious frown,

"Yes, and why did Daddy make a promise he can't fulfill? You know that we don't have that kind of money."

She sounded a little irritated though she had no idea of where and how she was going to get that kind of money.

Devin chuckled, wishing he could tell her the truth about the source of the money to encourage her to look past Robin's errors and forgive him but then again, he had to respect Robin's wishes.

Letting out a flawless smile, he informed her, 

"Well, we do. It's been there for long but he kept it secret, so we won't be lazy. I was equally worried before but he just confirmed it to me now."

He was happy to see relief in her eyes due to the response he gave before it was replaced with a frown and she asked again,

"Then why did I have to marry Robin back then when the business was not doing well?"

"Oh, that was before. You know that Dad recovered his lost money. It was the reason why he was begging you to return and you refused," Devin tactically explained, Sabrina smiled at the recollection.

Her father was very smart to have hidden that money if not, they would have indeed been lazy.

"But we have to take back everything from Martin," she said with coldness in her eyes. 

She did not know how to go about it but wished that Devin would sort it out since Martin was his best friend. 

Sabrina was very eager to retrieve everything that Devin was sure if he had told her that Robin could help, she would have agreed to ask for his help and was also happy that she did not blame him for it as he expected.

"We will. I already destroyed one of the documents." Wait. You have one, right?" He asked seriously, Sabrina was confused, not knowing what he was up to but responded,

"Yes."

"And it shows in the video that it was just two of them you signed so if I destroyed one?" Devin asked and left the rest of the thinking for her to do.

"Then it means there is no evidence that I signed off the shares but what if he has soft copies?" Sabrina asked curiously. 

Devin thought for a while and said,

"I will speak to a lawyer about it tomorrow to know what to do." 

Saying lawyer, he meant Robin but termed it that way because he did not want Sabrina to know.

***

The drive to Martin's mansion was faster because of the speed he used. 

Never has he felt so afraid in his life before.

Devin did not sound like he was joking and neither did Robin sound so either. 

Mara has also shown profound skills in covering up her tracks so Martin did not know who to believe at this moment, making it even more scary.

Reaching his mansion, he went to Mara's room without going to change up or clean up first. 

The maids were horrified at the sight of him but it seemed that Martin had not even looked himself in the mirror.

Even if he did so with rearview mirrors, his attention must have only been on the problem at hand, forgetting all the pain from his injuries.

"God Martin, who did this to you?" Mara was horrified and asked from the bed she laid when the door opened without a knock. 

The shocked look on her face forced Martin to check himself in the mirror before he understood her reason for acting like that. 

He explained it to lighten her mood,

"Robin and Devin, all because of you, Mara."

Mara felt terrible upon seeing him like that because of her. 

When she was coming up with the plan to destroy Sabrina, she had no idea that those two men around her would cause trouble.

She only felt that Sabrina would carry all the blame and shame, only to realize that the man she loved was paying the price for everything including taking the beatings for it.

"I'm sorry. Let me get Anna to clean your wounds."

Martin shook his head since the bruises on his face did not matter to him. 

"What is more important is ensuring that everything was cleared. Both Martin and Robin made mention of me drugging Sabrina. They looked and sounded certain."

Mara was conflicted by the news. Pete never let her down. If he said it was cleared, then it was cleared.

"They might just be playing the mind game," she said thoughtfully but Martin knew Devin better than anyone and it did not seem like he was lying.

Also, Robin did not look like he was joking.

"Call your hacker and still be sure," he instructed, not willing to leave room for future problems. 

If there was even the slightest possibility that everything that happened between him and Sabrina was captured on CCTV, then he was not nearing his office until the news died down.

"I confirmed with him earlier," Mara said with certainty, afraid of calling Pete due to what happened earlier about her pregnancy. 

Now she did not know how to tell Martin either because she would also be revealing that she was not paralyzed.

"Call him again. I want to speak to him," Martin insisted, not willing to make himself a scapegoat.

Mara trembled and her face was void of color. "That isn't a good idea."

She had to allow time to pass after the way Pete left with so much anger but Martin was not taking no for an answer.

"Do it, Mara, it's my ass on fire and not yours."
