214 The Proposal (1/2)
Sabrina rode with him with a car tailing them from behind. Gabby was drop off in his office building and as she look up—she saw, it was a big and beautiful building. He gave her a kiss on the lips—just a smack and told her not to tire herself. She nodded and went to the big mall. She roam around and bought whatever she likes and stayed for an hour in the bookstore just to choose books she wanted to read.
Then she smell the famishing Japanese food and eat there. Suddenly, she thought of Veronica. The woman who seems to be dying. Maybe she like some Japanese food. They said she was her friend. She never really had a friend.
She took out different dishes and then told them to go to EPUA. She walk and everyone who pass by her salutes her. She only nod and went to Veronica's room, she saw her watching something on the laptop. Veronica look up at her.
”Hi.” She greets and the sick woman fold the laptop. ”Were you watching porn that's why you fold it?” she asked and put the food on the table. Veronica laugh.
”I never thought you could be this talkative, Sabrina.” She said.
”I bought food—and I think—I need to know everything. Since Gabby said that you are my best friend—then you should know everything. I have to know what happened. Why I got married and why I only remember that I am still fourteen years old.”
”That's your age before your mom died.” She said. She put away the laptop. Sabrina settled the food.
”You have to eat. You look thin.” Sabrina said.
”Hmm.”
”Where's Tony?” She asked as she looked around.
”He's with the woman he is going to marry. I have to let him go so he could live his life.”
Sabrina felt how sad and hurt she was with what she did. What she did was unselfish love. Yet she's still wearing the engagement ring on her left finger. Sabrina gave her the box and the chopstick.
She was now calm and the issue that her mom is already dead makes her accept the reality.
”Tony told me because of the trauma—you didn't remember what happened. You block those memories because it was painful for you to accept the truth. The only way for you to remember it is to accept it. You need Gabriel. He's the only man that you could trust.” She said and eat a little. ”Hmm. I love Japanese. Good thing that the doctors told me that I can eat anything except few toxic foods.”
”Then, eat more.” She said. ”So Gabby, is my truthful husband?”
”Yes. He would never look at other women. Gabriel looked like his world crashes when he found out that you got ambushed.”
”Ambushed?” She asked with creased brow. ”How did she get ambushed?”
”No one knows since there are lots of people who want you dead as well. But you save Catriona and your nephews.” She told.
Sabrina was speechless but what she heard from Veronica means that she could kill a person. Gabby said that she was her A-Special agent like a real agent—CIA or MI16 or something—then she owns EPUA.
”Did I kill someone before?” Sabrina asked. Veronica didn't say anything at all at first.
”Killing bad guys was natural in our work. We are trained to do this, Sabrina. You train me to be strong and here I am… still alive yet dying.”
”I'm sorry.” Sabrina said and lower her head. ”It's my fault that it happened to you then.”
”It's not your fault. If not for you—I wouldn't survive this long. My own father wanted me dead because I betrayed him. My mission is to get him and give him to you.”
