SISTER IN LAW novel Chapter 20

"Hi sis, just now we were given the opportunity to talk again." Diana approached me.

We are here to the Wilford’s mansion for the birthday celebration of Fred's Grandfather, many guests, almost well-known politicians, artists, businessmen, and wealthy clans. And we were part of it, because Fred's father was a close friend of daddy in business, that’s why they were happy when my older sister and Fred got together. Everyone thought that Diana was really the eldest child of the Franks... they didn't know that I was their only real and only child.

"Whatever, how is the company?" I asked, it accidentally came out of my mouth with a bitter melody.

I was hurt when daddy chose to leave the family’s company’s care to my sister. It was also one of the reasons why my plans gradually collapsed. I suddenly felt like I was the adopted one and not Diana, as if my personality information was suddenly confused to be someone that I am not.

"It's okay. It's easy to take over that sis. Oh well, how are you doing with my husband, every time I'm away?" There is a melody of bitterness and anger in her voice... isn't she know it?

I smiled –my usual sweet devilish smile.

"Delicious. Ops! I mean... we always enjoyed each other's company." I dare to respond.

When she suddenly slapped me hard, everyone looked at where we were.

Everyone was surprised, at what my older sister did to me. But everyone was more surprised when suddenly a video played on the wide white screen in front of us all. Me and Fred, making out on his office. F*ckshit.

And again... I felt a slap, even stronger than my sister's slap.

"Dad..." I just said in a low voice.

Embarrassed and ashamed. Everyone was staring at me with judgmental eyes and it felt like a dagger thrown to my direction.

Everyone was whispering, and I saw how Uncle Larry punched his dearest son, Frederik, while his Grandfather, Don Rafael had no reaction at what shamelessness that was happening in his family. He was just sitting there in the mini stage that was arranged for his special day, like he just watching his favorite drama show in the theater.

"You ungrateful child! How can you do this to your own sister. You seduced her husband... for what huh?" Hurtful words coming from my modest and thoughtful mother to me.

What's more painful to see is that instead of hugging me - she hugged Diana. It was as if the perfect world I had suddenly collapsed in my very own sanity.

I can't even move my feet, even though I wanted to run and get away from this place… I just cant, I have no courage to do so.

Why… why is this happening to me now? –Is this my karma already, for wanting to get even and get my revenge?

If it was then and I spoke of what really happened the night before my wedding - will this also happen to Diana's part... will my father and mother slap her too?

Suddenly my tears flowed out from my eyes... one drop, two until I just cant stop it from dropping out nonstop.

I saw Fred... walking towards our direction.

Will he defend me? Will he choose me?

I stared at him. He was also looking at me... no emotion, I wanted to approach him but shit --I have no courage to do it.

But I firmly stepped towards him but I felt even more pain in my heart when I saw him approach and hug my sister that is more hurtful from my father's slap awhile ago.

Suddenly I stopped walking, because all my questions have been answered… just by looking at them.

Eddy was right, "He will never choose you over his wife." My friend's words sounded like a broken record over and over again in my brain.

The guests suddenly screamed when my sister fell into Fred's arms.

***

I feel like garbage just piled up here on the side of my room in the house of Fred and Diana.
