Chapter 70: Chapter 70 – How could he know about my existence?

Martin felt miserable, not understanding the reason why his love story should be so painful after waiting for so many years to have the only woman he ever wanted.

"We agreed on Monday," he said in annoyance and Mara smiled before she revealed,

"I will wait till then but Martin, I have someone following you."

Martin froze again but this time, he recovered and turned to the side to look at his sister. She did not look like she was joking and Martin wondered whether she began to contact people from outside. Perhaps it was the reason why Robin found her out.

"Mara, why will you do that and who have you been communicating with? Don’t forget that Devin is still thirsty for your blood. He vows to do the same thing you did to Sabrina to you. Please be careful, Mara. You are my only family."

Mara smiled. Every time Martin spoke like this, her heart regained its lost warmth. If only he could forget Sabrina and stay only by her side, they would live happily ever after.

"That is why Laura is my nurse. I told her to follow you. I was not asleep when you left my room so where did you go?" Mara confessed and asked.

Martin had no control over Laura. She only obeyed Mara because Mara had threatened to destroy her family if she did otherwise.

Knowing he had been found out with no way out, Martin said truthfully, but sarcastically,

"I had a date with Sabrina but the good news is, Robin was there to ruin it for us."

"Him?"

Mara paled instantly. Why would Robin ruin his ex-wife’s date? Mara did not understand. The fact that Martin secretly went on a date with Sabrina abhorred her but that was quickly overshadowed by the fears of why Robin did not want his ex-wife to move on.

Mara felt like all her plans were falling into the drain even before they began to materialize. Martin rolled back to his back after seeing the frightened look on his sister’s face.

This time, he was not ready to comfort her or make her feel better.

"Yes, and lucky for you, he bought the hotel a few days back so he could embarrass me. Moreso, he told me to stay away from Sabrina."

Mara was quiet for a long time. If Robin’s only request was for Martin to stay away from Sabrina, then she did not have a problem with it. Rather, she was elated.

"At least he has the same mind as me."

Martin shook his head and revealed, "Mara, it’s even worse because he knows about you."

Mara was visibly shaken. Her hand holding that of her brother shook violently. If Robin knew about her existence, then it would not be easy for her to get away with any crime she commits. Robin was too powerful to be hidden from.

"Impossible. I told you to wipe everything about me," Mara said in anger, Martin responded calmly,

"I did and the only information about you is where nobody can reach it. However, with the kind of money Robin has, he found you out and he knows that you are dangerous to Sabrina. That was the reason why he warned me to stay away from her. It wasn’t because he wanted to reunite with her."

Martin turned to his side again after a long silence ensued between them and saw a tear slide down from Mara’s eyes. She wiped it with her left hand before saying with determination,

"No. How could he know about my existence?" She asked seriously.

It was impossible because she never went out. Except for that one time. She could not tell Martin about it or all her plans would be ruined.

"I was surprised too," Martin said. Now he was sure that Mara would lie low, rather than spying on him.

"So, are you going to stay away from her? You have to get her to sign the remaining two documents," Mara said, surprising Martin that she had not given up.

"Are you sure you still want to do this?" Martin asked seriously, not believing that Mara was still going ahead with the plan even with Robin’s involvement.

Mara had it planned out. If she physically attacked Sabrina, then she’ll be in trouble but if she made the wrong decision and destroyed the company her brother and father worked hard for all these years, then that would be her fault and Mara would not be blamed for it.

"Since I can’t start what I finished, this is my only chance to make her miserable. If she signs the documents, no one would be blamed for her negligence and she would have to suffer the consequences," Mara revealed.

When she did not get a response from Martin immediately, she quickly added,

"That would be enough for me and you can have your freedom too so look at it like hitting two birds with one stone," she concluded with a smile upon seeing a glint in Martin’s eyes.

Hearing Mara talk about giving him his freedom again, something tickled Martin. He could make Sabrina sign the documents but look for another way to help her rebuild the company after Mara signs everything over to him.

Also, he could use the opportunity to force Sabrina to marry him and that would be perfect. With these thoughts, he was ready to go by the plan but then again, would Mara keep her word?

"Are you sure that you will give me my freedom if I complete that mission?" He asked seriously. Mara was happy that he was considering it and smiled but it was coated with bitterness.

The pain from the fact that Martin wanted to be away from her.

"I promise that I will even allow you to marry whoever you want. You can prepare an agreement to it and I will sign," she assured him.

All she wanted was to see Sabrina dead but because of Robin’s interference, she could endure making Sabrina miserable when the news about her company’s fall is broadcasted everywhere.

"Okay, I will get her to sign the remaining documents."
