Chapter 3 - The Truth (1)

Madam Wang palmed her forehead and breathed in deeply. While exhaling, she grabbed her handphone and called her assistant, Arthur.

"Is it done?" she asked calmly.

"Yes Madam." he answered quickly.

"Good. Show it to him." she instructed grimly then hang up.

Meanwhile at the hospital.... Marcus stared blankly outside the window, staring into the sea. The waves crashing gently on the beach. His heart aching. His mind, as if a broken record, keep on playing his harsh words to Anna.

"Do you think that if her child is gone, any child carried in your womb worth anything to me??!"

"Even if her child is not mine, the baby is worth more than the one you carry, even though its mine!"

He stiffened when there was a knock on the door. Sabrina awakened from her sleep, slightly annoyed that her rest was disturbed. But quickly she contolled her expression, putting on a wan looking face that could melt any weak man's heart.

"Come in." Marcus beckoned the person to enter the room. It was Arthur. Marcus's eyebrow pinched together while his questioning eyes met Arthur's.

"Why are you here?" asked Marcus while arranging Sabrina's pillow to make her comfortable.

"For the truth.." answered Arthur with a straight face. Marcus's heart skipped for a beat. Deep down, he knew that Sabrina's fall was not a simple story. He has asked his assistant to look into this matter on his way to the hospital. His heart lodged in his throat, thinking that Anna was also in danger. But Anna's calmness and Sabrina's pale face at that time, made his heart uneasy.. thinking that Anna might not be as she seems. Betrayal loomed in his heart.

Without further ado, Arthur opened his laptop to show the video.

"Marcus, i dont feel well. Please do this another time.." Sabrina insisted in panic while grabbing onto Marcus's white shirt when he made the motion to watch the video.

"It was just an accident! There is no need to look into the matter. It will just make Anna feel more guilty.." she continued with her ramblings, almost in tears.

Marcus looked at her with heavy heart, knowing that betrayal was nearing. Not from Anna, but from this woman who was in his heart for as long as he could remember until Anna came into his life. With his eyes shut, he almost pulled her fingers roughly away from his sleeves. He then looked at her with contempt. Sabrina got scared by his look, feeling weak all of the sudden. She knew this day would come, her only hope was that he would fall in love with her again so that all of these became moot point. She would never lose to Anna. Never!!

Marcus, still kneeling repetead his question "Where is my wife, Anna? His eyes pleading.

He saw his parents glancing at each other and with a slight nod from his father, Madam Wang replied with a sigh, "Do you promise to bring her back? Promise not to break her heart again? Promise to stay true to her? She didnt ask for much.. not even for your love.. she knew she will never get yours.. just your fidelity... can you??"
