FREDERIK'S POV
"Daddy."
I turned to the owner of the voice who just called me. Without a smile I faced the boy who had just entered my office here at home.
"Yes?" I responded without any emotions.
I noticed his sudden change of emotion, a sign that he was being counted in my presence.
I am giving him everything he needs, I did not lack of being a father who gives everything his child needs. But there is only one thing I can not fully give to him... love, nothing really, I can not really love my son, and I don’t know why. It's been six years but I also seem to have lost my heart, it feels like she brought it with her, by the woman I truly love.
Yes, everything has become clear to me, especially how I really feel about that woman.
They are right; you can only realize the value of a person if you lose her/him in your life.
And that thing really hits me hard - I thought it was just lust, but shit! I fell in love with her and I didn't even realize that right away, that every time we had sex, I could make her feel it already. It wasn’t just sex at all, but making love. But she is gone, she is now gone... and will never return to my arms.
Damn! I was blinded by that company. Because of my Grandfather's conditions about my inheritance, the pace of my life became so fast that got me married a woman I don't really love.
No, Yes! I love my wife but it's different, when it comes to her. And about me marrying Diana in an instant, well she was the only one that time when I needed a marriage contract and now I really can't just leave this situation I am in. Especially Diana and I already have a child, even though I have no enough love for this child, I still want to be a responsible father for him. For six years, it has not been followed by another child. I don't know, I have no desire to have sex with Diana anymore, we are just making out and when we get to that point, I think of that woman. Yes, f*ck! So I just stopped, and ending… nothing, nothing will happen to us.
And because of that I was always in the bar with different women but damn it, I still ended up thinking about her… just her. She was gone in my life but she took my heart with her.
But what really happened in our lives after she left…
When Leysa left, it was a few months before our issue subsided. We held a press conference, and that was the biggest stupid thing I did, actually I did nothing to protect her. My family and hers, they manipulated our story and Leysa just became the bad one. Yes, all evil devices just pointed to her; mistress, bad sister, flirt, itchy bitch, home wrecker, and all that can be badly said about her. Shit, I want to defend her, I want to say that I wanted everything that happened between us, that I really love her, and she does not steal anyone from her sister. But shit! I am in a critical position because after Diana gives birth, I will inherit all the wealth of the Wilford's. But all I could do then was stop it from spreading in the news. Our family did not know that, I dismissed all the news about our scandal, that even the Frank family, did not even defend their own daughter. Diana won more of their parents' sympathy.
A few months, years later... we became the perfect family in the eyes of the people. And everyone has completely forgotten the scandal involving our families. We also have no news of what happened to Leysa. Although I wanted to find her and know about her whereabouts but I was scared, I was afraid it would lead to the point where I could just hurt her again. So I just let it go, I let her go just like that… I let my life be miserable. I just tried to be happy somehow with my wife and son, even if it was just pure hypocrisy.
"Ah, Daddy... can you teach me how to solve this?" I was brought back to the present when I heard my son's little voice.
Maybe, I'll give myself a chance to be happy, together with my family; me, Diana, and Daniel, our son.
DIANA'S POV
"Come here." I heard Fred say as a response to our son's plea.
I smiled at the scenario I saw inside my husband's office here at home –him that was teaching our son… so now I can say that I am very happy.
I have a beautiful, perfect family and I have all the riches of my very own family. Yes, I got the full authority to handle the FGC, not yet legally, but it will still go to me, especially simce that there are no obstacles for my dreams now.
My plans, everything, it falls into their proper places… but when something or someone destroys my beautiful and perfect world, damn! I will do everything; just to dispatch anyone who plans to destroy it.
"Oh babe, what are you doing there?" I was brought back to my senses when I heard Fred call me.
So I approached where they were.
I stood behind my husband and gently massaged his shoulders. I miss him, I miss him inside me... pounding me hard that I can't even move after. We don't have much time to have sex all night long now because I just don’t know, or I just know the main reason of his coldness towards me but I just don’t want to think about it. The important thing is at least I have him beside me, right now.
"So, how's my boy?" I suddenly said that made our son looked up at me. I smiled at him, my son is a handsome boy, even though he doesn't look like Fred but as long as he is his son –he will always be. He will inherit all of Wilford and Frank's property and wealth.
"I'm good, Mommy. I got the highest grade in school." He proudly answered that made me smile.
