Am I Married?

36. The Heir

For those who are thinking that story is leading to be a typical one, I understand that. Maybe, it is resembling to the cliches, but I would suggest you to wait for few more chapters, Sanaya is about to take a very strong decision. Stay tuned, readers.

...

Later on, Ashar's parents explained me the whole scenario like why they were supporting me. They both wanted an heir or heirs for their family business. One of the reasons behind Ashar and Samara marriage was for the grandchildren.

Ashar's elder brother, Austin Hobsons was failed to fulfill their wish due to his wife's infertility. It had been six years now since their marriage, but Ashar's sister-in-law was still unable to conceive. And then Ashar's marriage couldn't happen the way they wanted so their wait prolonged.

And now when they heard the news of my pregnancy, their hopes heightened that finally they could see the face of their grandchild. They had their doubts, but their excitement and happiness was overlapping it so they didn't want to take a risk by suggesting me to go for an abortion.

"What about Ashar? What if his decision won't change even after the DNA?" I voiced out my concern to Matt.

I was now alone with Matt because his wife had some appointment so she had to go, but I stayed there to clear off my doubts about their decision.

He sighed, crossing his arms, "I can't force him to choose you, but I can guarantee you your rights in this house as a mother of our heir."

I didn't respond, waited for him to explain further. "Even if Ashar get married with Samara, you'll live in this house and raise your child."

My mind was totally numb right now. I couldn't even comprehend his words.

"I can understand your condition right now, Sanaya but I can't lessen your stress. To gain your trust and make you believe that I'm saying the truth, I'm withdrawing all my restrictions that I've put on you. No one will spy on you or your phone. Aaron won't be following you around. However, I would advise you to let him drive you to college and bring you back home."

My eyes enlarged at him. I thought it would take forever for me to hear those words. I had even lost hope about it. Wasn't that's a good change, living like a normal, respectable civilian and not as suspect or criminal?

"So do you believe me now that I'm harmless?"

He nodded thoughtfully, "It's been a while since you gained my trust. Aaron told me about your activities and your call logs so I understood it that maybe you're telling the truth and it's Samara who should be blamed for the whole mishap."

The weight on my shoulders lifted and I felt light weight after hearing him. In this chaotic-like situation at least I got to hear something good. I was eventually successful in clearing my name.

"Me and my wife are on your side." He added.

Another wave of surprise swept through me, "What?"

He motioned his head in confirmation, "I won't favor Ashar if he would think to give another chance to that woman. I can't trust Samara and her father. They have already done enough damage to my reputation and business."

For a minute I thought I was talking to a different person and not that intimidating Matt Hobsons. He was acting so wisely and understandably. He used to be very prejudicial to me.

"I...I really don't know what to say right now, sir."

"Answer my one question?" He stepped towards me. Creases appeared on his forehead.

I looked at him, waiting for him to disclose his query. "I saw you and Ashar going to his room maybe some weeks ago. Did this happen that day?"

My face heated up in embarrassment as soon as I understood what he was trying to ask. God, he saw us. I lowered my gaze in reaction because I couldn't say right on his face that yes it happened that night.
