200: Chapter 200 - Because he changed into a better person

Chapter 200 - Because he changed into a better person

Martin was eager to go home to have a talk with Mara concerning the videos after what transpired between him and Robin since he did not want to be taken unawares.1

Knowing Robin, the guy doesn't make empty threats and Mara had a strong backing too. 

As such Martin did not know whom to believe. 

Also, he had to take the signed documents to her, so she'll sign off the company to him. 

His hands merely reached the door with the documents in a briefcase when a kick sent him staggering backward but his hand clutched tightly to the briefcase.

"You asshole, I trusted you,"

Devin raged, his eyes emitting fire. This was a friend he stood by all these years in trust and loyalty, going against his father and his fiancé for him. 

A man he thought was the best suitor for his sister but he turned out to be a scumbag.

Martin staggered from the kick but did not fall. Pain flashed in his eyes but it was not from the kick, but rather the hurt of being misunderstood by Devin, his best friend.

He thought to explain.

"I'm only doing this for Sabrina. I want her to marry me. Isn't this what we both wanted?"

Devin smiled devilishly. He was so furious, he pounced on Martin, punching him in the face three times, and he fell on his desk.

The briefcase equally fell from his hand and opened somehow, exposing the documents in there.

Martin did not try to protect or defend himself since he felt that he should have at least informed Devin about his plans, which he did not do because of Mara's involvement.

He was quickly packing the documents into the briefcase when Devin caught sight of the similar one he saw in Sabrina's office.

Before Martin reached it, Devin kicked his jaw, Martin bit his tongue, and flung over with blood oozing from his mouth when Devin bent over and picked up the almost twenty pages document.

"You drug my sister, lie to her, and make her sign some fucking documents because you want to marry her?"

Devin glared Martin in the eyes, loathe emitting from it, as he began to tear the documents into pieces and Martin's heart sank with the shredding sound of each paper, tears burning in the back of his eyes. 

There were only two of the original documents, with which he left one with Sabrina and this was the only copy he had which meant there was no documentation to prove that he had the shares. 

Anger rose in his heart for having worked so hard and equally losing his best friend in vain.

Worse, Devin snarled, "I fucken hate you now."

Martin was so upset, wince he lost everything and roared,

"But that is the thing about you. Sabrina would never marry me without being pushed to the corner. Wasn't it how she married Robin?"

Anger gave him the courage to face Devin since everything was now lost and he was back to square one.

He regretted not scanning a copy down instantly or giving it to his secretary to do so for him, all because he was afraid that they might have been bought over or something like how some of his maids confessed to somebody trying to pay them to quit their jobs.

For that reason, they demanded higher pay. 

That information made it hard for Martin to trust anyone, fearing that they had been bought over but he was equally too busy with the press after making Sabrina sign the documents and forgot about scanning or making photocopies.

Devin was still shredding the remaining documents with his fingers, littering Martin's luxury office whilst he snarled,

"My sister is not some commodity on the market for business exchange and from the way I look at it, Robin is a better choice for her."

Martin was emotionless at the comparison. 

Devin, who hated Robin like a plague, was now preferring him as a suitable partner for Sabrina? Martin was lost for words, thinking to remind Devin,

"When he fucks every girl and even has another one pregnant for him?"

Devin frowned a little. Robin indeed had a bad history with women but then, 

"Yes because at least my sister already knew he was a manwhore but still fell in love with him. As for you, you are a wolf in sheep's clothing."

The analysis and comparison pierced Martin's heart. He couldn't blame Devin completely because this could have worked or not worked. 

For instance, if Devin had not destroyed the documents and Mara had gotten them but refused to sign off the company to him, then she would be the owner of both JC Minerals and Clothing. 

"Devin…"

"Don't fucken call my name and just to let you know, you and I have nothing in common. Our friendship ends now," Devin spat coldly, dropping the last bit of the shredded document on the floor but all hope was not lost.

Martin was disappointed that Devin ended their friendship because he was indeed Martin's only best friend. 

Because of Mara, he never let a lot of people close and never wanted to lose Devin because of Sabrina.

At first, Sabrina called to end her friendship with him and now Devin but did it mean that Sabrina was going to remarry Robin, Martin did not want that to happen and thought to ask,

"So, you are going to let your sister get back with Robin. After all he did to her and all the humiliation, he caused her?"

Martin's remorse was slowly fading away since he already lost everything but then, he remembered the snapshots of the documents he sent to Mara through her caretaker, Anna.

Also, Devin would not know that that is the original one so he could still use it to scare them until Sabrina succumbs and gets married to him.

However, Devin had already removed him from his heart as well.

"I'm gonna beg her to take him back, you know why?" He asked seriously, Martin shook his head miserably, and Devin said,

"Because he changed into a better person while you changed for the worse."
