137: Chapter 137- Ready to drag Zayla out of bed

Chapter 137- Ready to drag Zayla out of bed

After they went to bid the general goodbye, they all left the party while people were just getting started. They knew it was going to last until after midnight but they were no longer in the mood.2

When they got to the mansion, Devin told his father everything that happened including his proposing to Lizzy. His father was very happy at his boldness and maturity. They agreed to meet the general after his return from the official trip. 

Whereas when Devin spoke about the poison stuff, his father was worried and called Sabrina to his room. Sabrina was already feeling sleepy and ready for bed, thereby giving her father half her attention.

"Sabrina, your brother told me everything that happened."

"Yes, and I don't know who," Sabrina yawned and responded. Cobby said seriously, 

"Be careful around Martin. I think it's his sister."

Sabrina remembered all the times she asked Martin about his family. His responses seemed genuine to her and she was beginning to feel that her father was afraid for nothing. 

"Dad, he doesn't have a sister. I even wanted to go to his house but now, Robin has warned him to not get close to me."

Cobby was disheartened that Sabrina had also begun to behave like her brother but at this moment, he was thanking Robin in his heart for protecting her secretly. 

From all that Devin said, Cobby discerned that it was not the whole matter and Robin knew more.

"Sabrina, you have to be smart. Mara knows that if she is found to be alive, she would go to jail. Do you think she would make herself known to be alive?" Cobby asked seriously but Sabrina was yawing carelessly whiles she replied,

"Dad, I don't doubt that she is alive but I don't believe she has any relationship with Martin."

Cobby swallowed the rest of his words. Sabrina was far from help. "You look tired. You should rest well," he discharged her, not planning to have this conversation with her again. 

After Sabrina left her father's room, Cobby took the initiative to call Robin for some answers.

Robin was driving but answered the phone when he saw the familiar number which he had not called for a long time, though they had been in constant communication face to face. 

The call seemed a bit distant to him as he connected it to his dashboard.

"Dad, are you feeling alright?" Robin was worried at the time that the old man was calling, wondering why he was not sleeping yet. 

It was not as if his children were kids. They were all adults with a mind of their own.

"Yes, Robin. I hope you are too. I heard about what happened at the party. Was it Mara?" Cobby asked directly since he already talked about it with Robin before.

"Yes Dad, it's Mara. We are working on getting her location and the general has promised me his men if we can track her," Robin said honestly. Cobby sighed with relief and said,

"Thank you very much. I was afraid you would be discouraged because of both Sabrina and Devin's disbelief of her existence."

Robin chuckled and responded, "No. Even if no one believed me, I would track her down to prove to them that I was right."

Hearing Robin's resolve, Cobby was even more relaxed, feeling like he had nothing to worry about. 

"Thank you and have a good night."

"Goodnight, Dad," Robin responded and ended the call.

While Daniel left with Robin; he made a U-turn to install the camera in Sabrina's office since he had most of his tools with him in his car. 

Robin went to Zayla's parents' apartment. It was late but he could not allow the matter to rest since he was not sure that Zayla would return to the penthouse that night.

When he dialed her phone number, it was switched off so he continuously knocked on the door until her father could not take it anymore and came to open it.

"Robin, what are you doing here?" Zayla's father, Ken, frowned and asked him. Robin frowned in return whiles saying,

"I have to speak to Zayla. Please wake her." He knew that the old man would say his daughter was sleeping, thereby deciding to take out that excuse and not be kept waiting. 

However, Ken was still adamant in waking Zayla, since she already told him about Robin's suspicion of her involvement in the incident at the party.

"Robin, you know that she's pregnant," he pointed out but Robin was determined to get her ass out of bed to answer some questions that night. He had too many things on his mind and was sure that should he not get the answers he needed now, he might forget all about it when other issues popped up.

"Or, I will enter her room and carry her to the penthouse. She is supposed to be with me, not here," Robin threatened subtly but Ken saw a loophole and responded,

"But you have not married her."

Robin had no intention of marrying Zayla and was not going to lie to her father about it. "Whereas she is carrying my child so I still have the right to see the growth of my child, even in the belly."

Ken realized that his plans to get Robin to commit were failing, just as Zayla had said. The greatest thing they wanted was Robin's commitment but he was not giving it as they expected.

"Robin, what are your plans for my daughter? I don't like the way you are close to your ex-wife whilst keeping my daughter in your house without even properly engaging and announcing her to the world. She would have been somebody else's wife if you had not kept her in your penthouse."

"Are we going to talk here?" Robin asked seriously, wondering why he was talking about a sensitive matter in the open when the air could easily carry news. 

Kennedy Chance opened the door to let him in, realizing his mistake. Robin spoke as soon as the door shut and was not ready to sit.

"Since you want to know about my involvement with my ex-wife, then here it is. She is also pregnant with me so the same way I take care of Zayla, I need to take care of her too."

Ken was so shocked and afraid since Zayla had not told him about Sabrina's pregnancy. He began to sweat and that moved so Robin asked again, 

"Will you call Zayla for me or I should drag her ass out of the bed?"
