Chapter 156Patrick Banks ~•~“Patrick! Have you seen the news?” Jordan’s worried voice came through the other end of the line. My lips parted and I blinked. “What news?” “The Times just broke a story about the company. And Patrick, it’s bad.” He hesitated, as though he was unsure of how to say it. “They’re launching a formal investigation into your company.” My heart skipped a beat. Formal investigation? On what? And why was it on the news? How did it get public without my knowledge? “What?” I asked, my voice tense. “What is it about?” Jordan let out a wistful sigh. “It’s about the dealings with the mafia.” A chill ran down my spine. “They know about the money laundering?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “How? But I was so careful.” “I know, but someone leaked information about it. Things that the press couldn’t have dug up on their own. Private documents. Emails.” My jaw clenched. Who could have done something like that? I was careful enough. The only people

Chapter 155Valerie Will~•~I remember when I gave birth to Liam. I didn’t have anybody by my side — no friends, no family. I just did it alone. But this time around, I smiled as I saw Patrick, Liam, Alexis, Noah, and my mom in the hospital room. I still felt weak from the delivery, my body aching in places I didn’t even know could ache. Patrick sat at the edge of the bed, his hands never leaving mine. Liam and Noah spent the last hour hovering around the baby. “She’s so small,” Liam whispered. Noah nodded. “Yeah, she’s so tiny.” “That’s how you were when I gave birth to you,” I responded with a chuckle. Noah turned to Patrick. “Was I also like this?” Patrick nodded. “I guess you were even smaller.” It made everyone laugh. Alexis cleared her throat and looked at me. “Have you thought about a name yet?” She asked, her voice soft but curious. I only thought of a name recently. With everything that had been going on with me and Patrick, we didn’t really sit down to talk about

Chapter 154Patrick Banks ~•~Madeline and I used to be close. Very close. But ever since my mother cut me off from the family, everyone else turned against me too. I always wondered what she must’ve said to them. It was heartbreaking to know that they actually believed that I could kill my brother. I had tried so much to prove to them that it wasn’t me, but all my efforts were fruitless. My mother made it clear that she didn’t want anything to do with me anymore by giving me the permanent silent treatment. I had accepted my fate but a part of me still hoped that things were going to change. As for Madeline, I was shocked when the security called to tell me that she was at the gate. I was surprised to see her because we weren’t exactly speaking to each other at the moment. I knew she still blamed me for Benjamin’s death, but I couldn’t ask her to leave the shower. I thought she wanted to amend things. But I guess I was just being delusional. She wasn’t even in the house for l

Chapter 153Valerie Will~•~I didn’t want to shower in a public place, I just wanted something small with friends and family at the house. Something quiet. Something that felt real. Not the cameras. Or the paparazzi that always managed to find a way in no matter how hard we try to keep them away. The shower was about to start. The house was already decorated and soft music echoed from the speakers. I smiled as I walked down the stairs. The aroma of the freshly baked pastries coming from the kitchen made me chuckle. God. Everything was so perfect. Noah and Liam ran downstairs, pulling me into a warm hug. Everyone was excited about the new baby. I spoke to them for a while before they ran into the kitchen to grab their food. Patrick wasn’t at the house, he still had to run a few more errands. I sat down on the couch and pulled out my phone. Then I called Alexis. She was meant to catch an early flight to New York. I wanted to know where she was. But her number was unavailable.

Chapter 152Valerie Will~•~“I can’t wait to see you, Alexis.” My voice was brimming with excitement as we spoke on the phone. “I can’t wait to know the gender of your baby.” She teased. I rolled my eyes even though she wasn’t present in the room with me. “I can’t wait either.” After talking for a few more minutes, the call ended. According to the doctor, it was almost a week before my due date. Patrick and I still wanted to know the gender of our baby through a shower. The planning had been chaotic but I wasn’t part of it. Jordan, his fiancée, and Patrick had practically taken over everything. I just had to rest and wait until it was time for the shower. I was also excited to know the gender of the baby. A soft knock came at the door. Before I could even respond, Liam’s voice echoed through the quiet hallway. “Mama, it’s me.” A smile tugged at my lips. “The door is unlocked. Come inside.” He opened the door slowly and stepped inside. “Are you excited for tomorrow?” He ask

Chapter 151Patrick Banks ~•~I was meant to leave early in the morning, so I went to bed immediately after my phone call with Valerie ended. The sound of the annoying alarm clock woke me up from my sleep. Letting out a loud yawn, I sat upright on the bed. I was tempted to sleep back, but I didn’t want to miss my flight. Shortly after, I was ready to leave for the airport. As I got into the car, I decided to check my phone to see if I had gotten any calls or messages. My face formed into a frown when I saw a text from Massimo. [ Don’t forget about our deal. The new assistant is starting on Monday.] So he was actually serious? I swiped his text away with annoyance. Then I saw that I had a few calls from Jordan, Liam’s phone, and Madison. Madison? Why was she calling me? I blocked her regular number. This one was different, but the caller ID still gave her away. I wanted to call Liam first but I figured he would still be sleeping. So I just decided to wait until I got back
