Chapter 034

"I'm not going to waver anymore," Mr. James declared.

"I want you to marry my youngest son," he added.

Youngest? I asked myself.

"Marry Meriam, as I wish," he said firmly.

I was taken aback by his request. Meriam isn't the one I got pregnant with, and she's definitely not the one I want to be with.

"I'm sorry, sir, but that's not possible," I replied respectfully.

"Exactly. As reparation for what you've done to my son, you will obey my wishes," he insisted.

"I will take responsibility for Aira. We will form a family. I will marry her and no one else," I asserted firmly to my boyfriend's father.

"No sane life awaits Aira if she marries you. Who are you? An illegitimate child who will never inherit. If you marry Meriam, you'll manage the company I've built and secure it together. Let Aira continue on her current path. I know my son can find happiness elsewhere even with a child," Mr. James countered.

"Sir, are you asking me to hurt your son and betray my feelings?" I clarified.
