SISTER IN LAW novel Chapter 26

FREDERIK'S POV

"Hey!" I immediately greet my friends. I gathered all of them, all my friends who know what really happened when I got married, 8 years ago.

"What's up, bro?" Art greeted me, my lawyer friend who owns the bar where we are now.

I sat down, fortunately we were on the 2nd floor which is quite a few people, because it is a private area, that only the well-known and rich can reserve here. We’ve got the best spot here because we can really see everyone on the first floor where there are many dancing on the dance floor and those who drink or chill at the bar counter or at the tables located there, and we can also see the ones who go inside the entrance.

I looked at them; there are four of us here now. But actually there are really five of us in the group.

Atty. Arthuro Dela Vega, has his own law firm and is an award-winning lawyer of famous and wealthy personalities and clans and an owner of famous bars in the Philippines.

Congressman David Falcon, CEO of a large Telecommunication here in the country, and a good politician.

Franco Ocampo, CEO of a big TV and Radio Network, he also helped me to get rid of the spreading of Leysa and I scandal, 6 years ago.

And who was not here is Ar. Edward Custodio, my best friend and a well-known, highest paid and talented architect that based in Spain. And also Leysa's friend, because when I tried to find that woman before, I found out that she was with Edward, and so I stopped following her - at least I felt a little relieved because someone was supporting Leysa which almost everyone turned their backs on, and so did I. So I let them go, I’m just not sure if they had more of a friendship relationship. Psh!

"Hey Fred, does your spouse know that you are here. Damn man! I don’t want her come again here to look for you, and I just can’t deal with her," Franco said while laughing, tsk. By the way, at that time that I became a bar person when Leysa left. Diana is always looking for me in my friends, that she will almost threaten them.

"Damn, she will surely not look for me now. She was on a three-day conference out of town," I said in response. So now is also the right time for me to meet my friends because Diana has left and our son is in the Franks’ care temporarily.

"That's good. Oh well, why do you want to see us, brad? Is there a problem?" David asked, so I gave them a serious look.

"I need to fix my real status..." I suddenly replied. Yes, I want to make it right. I just woke up earlier and my decision was complete, I will fix it all –the wrong thing I did, 8 years ago.

"Why? Are you ready to legally applied your marriage with Diana? The marriage certificate is still here. Tell me what to do then." Art smiled.

And yes, I almost forgot about my void marriage with Diana. Void, as in invalid, unlawful marriage, does not really exist legally. In other words, Diana and I are not really married, and she doesn't know it. Now you all know how jerk I was to be able to fool Diana. But damn, I have no choice, Grandpa is already harassing me, if I want his company, I need a marriage contract and a child. But I didn't understand that before, he did it because he was planning to marry me with someone else but shit, I didn't imagine that Leysa was the woman I was destined to marry that time though. But no, a lot has already happened, so I have to fix it.

"No. I'll fix that in a right way, as in I want Diana to know that we are not really married, that she doesn’t own me since the very beginning," I replied that made the three of them sighed.

"Jerk dude, how is your child? You are also stupid, why did you get her pregnant right away. When you have a plan like this, I mean you have a plan not to legalize your marriage and leave her," David suddenly shook his head.

I also thought that it would affect Daniel but my decision is already fixed, I will not leave the child, he can still have my name because he is my son.

"I will not leave Daniel alone; he is still my son..." I just said with finality.

"Is she finally back?" out of nowhere Franco asked and because of what he said the two also looked at me.
