LIFE OF AN HEIRESS

Chapter 14

Nasir's pov (Imam☝️)

Apart, that's what I and hannatu have been. This past few months she's been avoiding me at an alarming rate, she didn't wanna be alone with me or near me. She's always busy, and when she's at home she tries to distract herself with Imam. I've tired to talk to her but she just ignores me or pretend I'm not talking to her, it hurts cause I feel like we're bound to end.

"where is Sidiqa, didn't she come today?" I shake my head, the girl didn't come so I couldn't go to work. I had to babysit

"oh, well we have an important meeting in five days. You have to come no matter what." I just nod and continue what I was doing

"what are you doing?" she asked trying to peak At the documents I was looking over,I was quick to flip it over before she saw it .

"why are you being secretive, don't you trust me?" the frown on her face evident

"I should be asking you that, I gotta go." I grabbed my car key, imams car sit and headed for the living room where he was crawling around. Picking him up, I exited the house and fixed him in his car sit before driving off to my uncles house.

Arriving at my uncles, I find him sitting outside in his shed. I joined him and he was quick to take Imam

"he's grown up so fast, it's like he was just born yesterday" my uncle smiled at the gurgling baby

"yeah I think about that a lot too, I don't want him to grow up so fast" I sigh

"are you sure you really wanna do this? no matter how much of a bad person he is it won't change the fact that he's hannatu's father and imam's grandfather." I nod understanding my uncles concern

"yes you have a point, but if I let him go scot free what of my dad? Aren't we giving him another chance to destroy another family? People like Alkali don't change, they only get worse. At the end of the day power feeds greed and greed feeds evil, the only difference between us and him is knowing what's right and wrong, it might seem like nothing but it's everything."

" you're right, I just got side tracked looking at Imam, I fear this might be the end of your once joyous marriage"

"we'll make it work, at least I will. I love her too much to let her go" he gives me a sympathetic smile before patting my shoulder assuringly

"so when next is he coming?"

"in five days according to hannatu, we have  a very Important meeting and I feel like that's our best option to get this over with" he nod staring over the document I handed him minutes ago.

"it looks like everything is ready, let's just cross our fingers and hope it works"

"it will inshallah, this is our only chance" a whiny Imam makes me look down at him and the pout on his face made me smile, I'll protecty my family, both of them, no matter the cost.

**********

"for God's sake stop making a big deal out of it, I just met him for work." she rolled her eyes

"you met your ex fiance outside of your office hours, for God's sake what do you take me for? Am I even a man to you? It's the 3rd time you've met him in two days, THIRD!" My booming voice made her flinch

"big deal you're just being possessive" she mumbles

"oh really? Fine let's do our own things. Don't even try to tell me not to answer hassana's calls or force me to get male secreteries and such. I won't entertain that nonsense anymore" that seemed to get her attention because she straighten her back and full on glared at me
