209 Sabrina's Youth
There are people around that she knows. Enzo is there and her dad. But her mother is nowhere to be found. Then there are two men named Jason and Mark who were said to be her friends. She didn't say anything at all and ask where her mother is. They all remain silent. Then Enzo step up and scoop her face.
"Hey, you lost your memories—and mom is long dead."
Sabrina was shock and her heart races. She wanted Enzo to tell her that he was joking but none of them said that he were. The doctors are done checking up on her and everyone left except her dad who was there. Ferdinand hug her and told her what happened. She didn't remember anything at all. On how they got kidnapped and her mom died in the fire.
"Stay daddy." Sabrina instantly become a teenager. Ferdinand didn't worry at all. But she will be a mother and she's married. She can't act na?ve or become a cry baby like before. But maybe its enough. She needed those things.
"I will stay." Ferdinand look at Gabby.
"The doctor said she could eat." He said and bring the chicken soup.
"Thanks, son. I have to talk to someone first. Let your husband feed you."
There's panic in Sabrina's face. She didn't even know the man. The man put the table tray close to her and he stir the chicken soup. He blow it first and made sure it wasn't that hot. He then feed her. She hesitated.
"Our baby needs food. Okay? You have been sleeping for two months, lots of things change around you and I know that is weird but you have to suck it up. You married me."
No matter how strange it is. He look so handsome with chiseled face. Like a Greek God. He sound sexy and he look sexy though he had that beard. She ate as he feed her. He was careful and made sure she digest it. It was weird that he is so affectionate. A man like him isn't a cheater right? He's too handsome that he can be a cheater and all women would kiss the floor that he's walking.
"Just say what's in your head?"
"How did I get married?"
"Long story." He scoop her chin and kiss her lips. Was she his submissive wife? Does he torture her? What the heck was she thinking? That a man like him wouldn't fall for her? "You recover quickly. Don't be stubborn around. I have to go back to the office in seven days. Something happened to Veronica."
"Veronica?"
"She's your friend. She's engaged to my cousin, Tony. You'll learn things soon. But I don't want you to remember your dark pasts. I only want you to remember me, okay?" He kisses her hand and reach the drawer as he took the velvet box and open it.
Her eyes widens. It's a real diamond ring and their golden rings. He put it on her and kiss her hand.
"Am glad that you woke up. Veronica was here yesterday. She visited you—she's ill. She needs you. I will handle everything and focus on our baby."
"Is it that serious?" She asked him. She can feel that something is inside her. A life. Gabriel nods.
"You are Mrs. Lawson. Eat more."
Sabrina undergo therapy and rehabilitation in the rest house where she is now. She can only go outside the garden. She's glad that it isn't in the hospital, crowded and has lots of people to look at. She has her own caregiver and Gabriel was there during her rehabilitation. It only took few weeks for her to recover back to her normal self. The doctor said her baby is well and nothing did affect the baby.
"Let's go home." Gabriel said as she took her hand and a body guard open the back seat door of a sedan. Just how rich is this guy?
Inside was secured and she notice the thickness of the window shield. The sedan was made to be bullet proof. The seat was comfortable and has pillows. She lean on it and Gabriel made sure she is comfortable. Although he sleep beside her every night—she still feel awkward and uncomfortable. She talk less and he did too. He look scary whenever he's serious.
"Are you hungry?" He asked as he gave her a tumbler that he took from the mini freezer. He open the cap of the tumbler. "Finish that."
"I haven't answered." She said.
"Don't be stubborn. Two months ago was the last time you prove stubborn." He said.
"Are you—angry at me? Did I run off with someone else?"
Gabriel chuckle and told her to drink it.
"It's impossible that you will run away from me. I am the best you ever had. No man can compare to me."
"You sound very boastful."
"I am not. I am just stating facts here, darling."
She mutter 'whatever' and sipped on the smoothie. Gabriel look at her trying to figure out her odd attitude. She was always like that, right/ She mutter something and sneer at them when men gets boastful.
"I never see this adorable side of you." He pats her head. "It's a good thing. I could see how you behave during your teen age."
"What are you talking about?"
"My love, you are always adorable. But being na?ve, innocent and this kind of childish attitude of yours makes me aroused." He said sexily as he scoop her chin. She flushes and her eyes dilated from his words. She couldn't dodge him. He had corner her. "But I have to hold myself since you just recovered. Do you want to visit Veronica?"
"Uhm… Veronica is your best friend."
"I never had a best friend before."
"I could say that she was one of your best friend. She is loyal to you and though both of you seemed apart from each other's status—she remained a best friend to you."
"Really?"
"She's dying. But we haven't stop looking for the cure."
"How is she dying?" She asked. Her heart suddenly feel uneasy.
"I don't want you to remember your dark past." He said. Their conversation ended and they went to a hospital. It was wide and secluded. Has lot of security and everyone who pass by salutes them.
"Why are they—"
"You own EPUA." He said and hold her hand firmly. "I took over after the ambush just few days ago."
"Hmm."
They enter the secured door and saw a woman in pale face with dark circles under her eyes and a man tall, lean and like a greek God holding onto the woman's hand.
"Brina!" Tony said surprise.
"Sabrina…" She crease her brows when the woman speak in hoarse voice. It is somehow familiar like she heard it somewhere.
"Come on, talk to her." He said. "She knows that you didn't remember what happened." She step a little.
"Uhh, hello." She said. Then Veronica chuckle.
"When you are ready to accept your memories back, you have to remember this, I failed you, Sabrina. I let Francisco go. Glenn was the one who did this to me through Francisco's orders. Please don't let them getaway."
A sudden flash of memory suddenly makes her nausea. She hold onto the bed and Gabriel hold her.
"You don't have to see me again. I don't want you to see me in this condition."
