"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 apply 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.
"You are really stupid, Fred. What your money and connections do... you do not know then go and find it out. But wait! Are you sure you will declare your void marriage with Diana? How is your company? It is stated in the conditions of your Grandfather as long as he lives, No marriage contract and a child. No position for you in his company" Oh shit! But I just can't back out now, my decision is final, I'll give up everything to fix everything - for her and for my real happiness.
"That's it, I'll just apply as a secretary at your Law firm, or maybe at David's company, or I can just be an actor at Franco's TV station. Damn! It's now or never," I just said that made them laughed.
"If it was then, brad. That's how you think. I bet you should be happy by now and there are no complications at all. You are so greedy and impatient to get your Grandfather's company. You're too scared, which in fact it will still goes to you because you are his only grandchild." There is a litany of David.
"I am just pressured that time; he was harassing me with his conditions. That's why I have no enough time to think things over. And also Dad was pressuring me because he was so afraid that the management of WilCo would just end up in another hand. I was under a lot of pressure, so it leaves me no choice that time. But it's okay, I have no regrets at all. I can do now is fix everything and get her back," I stated that they just nodded in response.
