SISTER IN LAW

TWENTY SEVEN: THE REVELATION

FREDERIK'S POV

"Sir, are you alright?" Someone asked me, it was my secretary. I just looked at him and raised an eyebrow. I don't get him.

"Because you were smiling earlier. And did not react about the report, just nodding." He continued.

And there, I get it. Because I am thinking of Leysa and the kiss we shared earlier. I didn't even notice that I was spaced out. So I just smiled at my secretary.

A few moments later I received a message from Diana. Ohh, I was supposed to pick them up at the Franks' mansion.

"You can do that, Jack. I'll leave now. Call me, if something important will come up. I just need to go somewhere else," I said and left my office.

I am now here in front of the Franks' mansion.

And when I was about to enter the house, I heard voices, seriously talking... no, they are arguing.

"When are you still fooling us all Diana? Having an affair with our daughter's ex-fiancé? Seriously? All this time, we thought that Leysa was the wrong one... and then here you are, you are having an affair with your sister's boyfriend."

I was shocked by what I heard... I could not move.

And there I saw how Mr. Frank, slapped her dearest daughter, Diana. I can feel the resentment of a father in that slap.

"I even chose you, 6 years ago... than believing and protecting my own daughter that day. I even kicked out my own child, rejected her because I thought she was the one who made the mistake. But we were wrong all this time." Mrs. Frank just cried hard while saying those words.

I can't catch up to their conversation. I do not know where I will start to understand what is happening.

Diana does not speak. She did not defend herself against her parents' accusations. She just bent over and cried. And to understand all of this shit, I approached them... I slowly walked towards them until I reached where they were.

Mr. Frank noticed my presence. And he pointed something that was in the news, which I just noticed now.

It’s a breaking news about Diana Frank-Wilford having an affair with some other guy.

But it's not just some other guy, it’s actually Daniel Apolonio, owner of the biggest furniture factory in the country and Leysa's ex-fiancé.

"What the F*ck?" I just exclaimed as Diana looked in my direction. When she realized who I was, she hurried over to me. She hugged me and murmuring words, which boiled my blood even more.

"It's not true, babe... it's not true. That's not true. Please... believe me." She repeatedly said but I have enough, I pushed her away from hugging me.

"What's not true? Look Diana! ( I pointed to the video playing in the news.) What's not true there, Diana? You even have a s*x scandal and seriously?, in the forest have you really done that? When is that, Diana? WHEN?!" I replied angrily to her. I want to hurt her, but I just want to stop this, because honestly, we are both guilty of this senseless relationship. But I just did not expect that she would done that, having an affair for a long time. Because we heard ... we or everyone who watches

it now hear how Daniel and her are discussing their plans to claim the wealth of the Franks by marrying Leysa, and Diana also talks about having rights to own my riches.

"No..." she just said and cried.

I wiped my face. I don't know what to do anymore. Yes, it's actually good for me, because I can leave this marriage right away, to think that our marriage is not legal. But damn. I did not expect this scandal.

I saw Daniel, shit. I mean my son, he was just on the second floor and watching us, with no emotions at all. He’s just looking at us, blankly. And there it hits me. I quickly climbed up and headed to our son.

I hugged him, tight. Because it would have a big impact on him, seeing us in that position and situation, and knowing that his mom is having an affair with someone else. He doesn’t speak, nor does embrace me back. Damn! So I picked him up.

I saw how Diana looked at me while I am holding our child. I don't know if she is sad or happy. She is really crazy!

I just said goodbye to the Franks and left Diana there while I held our child.

I do not know how, how we got home. I'm just here now, holding my son's hand while watching him sleeping soundly. Poor kid.

Now, it's just the two of us. All my plans were ruined. Before I only decided to leave Diana, tell her that we are actually not married and just support our child. And have a good life with the only person I love and then this issue came up that makes me decide to be a responsible father from now on. Because of what is happening, I can no longer face Leysa. I have no courage to choose her over my child in this situation.

I love her... but I need to be responsible enough to my own flesh and blood, to be a good father to my one and only child.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
