Chapter 186

Patrick Banks

~•~

I didn’t even know what to say to Valerie.

How could I even defend myself?

I shouldn’t have trusted Madison. She knew exactly what she was doing. It wasn’t just a coincidence.

Even though I had no idea how she found out about my location, I knew that everything was planned.

I had been in Paris for over two days and the paparazzi didn’t take any pictures of me. I’m sure they didn’t even know who I was.

But just five minutes with Madison and I was all over the news in New York. Shit, I’m sure it wasn’t any paparazzi.

It was just a random person that she had sent.

Fury surged through me but I tried my best to mask it. I let out a deep breath, trying to steady myself.

“Valerie,” I began slowly. “I know that it looks bad but I promise you, it’s not what you think,” I added, trying to reason with her.

I heard her chuckle on the other end of the line.

It was clear that she didn’t believe me.

“Madison and I didn’t come to Paris together. I met her here

    Chapter 188Patrick Banks ~•~My face twisted in disgust. I pushed Madison away with so much force that she stumbled back against the edge of the bed. “Are you insane?” I snapped, my chest rising and falling rapidly. “I’ve always wanted this? You must be out of your mind.” She was really delusional if she ever thought for a second that I would allow myself to be seduced by her. Even if I were drunk, I wouldn’t even give her a hug. Ever since we ran into each other again, she had been nothing but a menace to my life. And now, she was pulling something like this? I didn’t miss the shock and disappointment in her voice. Her lips parted and she blinked. “Did you just push me away?” She asked as she tried to stand up. I let out a bitter scoff. “Don’t ever try this shit again. Never in your life.” I warned, my voice laced with disdain. Madison stood up and glared at me. “She really has you in a chokehold, huh?” Her voice was barely above a whisper. The funny part was that I didn’t

    Chapter 187Valerie Will~•~Damien’s words stuck with me and created doubt in my mind. But I didn’t want to comfort Patrick about it or even end up accusing him of something he didn’t do. But when I saw on the news that he was spotted in Paris with her, I lost my cool. I felt so betrayed and humiliated. I still couldn’t believe he would do something like that to me. The worst part was that he lied when I asked him about it. So much for needing time away from everyone just to clear his head. When in reality, he abandoned his kids to be with his ex-girlfriend. The image of them was drilled into my head. Even if I forced myself to forget it, I couldn’t. And whenever I thought about it, my blood boiled intensely with rage. And I thought about it every second. I just needed to clear my head. My breathing was heavy. I wanted to believe that Patrick was telling the truth, just so I would be okay. But my brain didn’t let me accept it. The image kept replaying in my head. At some po

    Chapter 185Patrick Banks ~•~“Daddy, when are you coming back home?” Liam’s worried voice echoed from the other end of the line. “Why did you leave without telling us?” Before I could even open my mouth to speak, Noah chimed in on the conversation. “That’s really unfair.” I let out a deep sigh. “I’m sorry, I won’t disappear on any of you again. I’m really really sorry.” “Did you leave because you’re fighting with Uncle Jordan?” Liam’s question caught me off guard. “Yes,” I admitted, my voice low. I didn’t want to lie to him. After ghosting them for two days, the least I could do was tell the truth. “Oh,” Liam muttered. “Why are you fighting with your best friend?” He asked curiously. But I couldn’t tell him that part. I responded with a chuckle. “It’s adult stuff, I can’t talk to you about it.” “But I’m almost an adult.” I could already picture the frown on Liam’s face. “Almost? We will talk about it when you’re an adult.” Liam wasn’t impressed with my answer but he didn’

    Chapter 184Patrick Banks ~•~I couldn’t believe that Patrick was in Paris. When the investigators at the station called to tell me, I was stunned and scared at the same time. What the hell was he doing in Paris? I thought something had happened to him. Then, I thought the bad people took him to Paris for a second. But then, he called me. And when he told me that he went to Paris just to clear his head, I was livid. I honestly didn’t even know how to react. I just found it odd that he would pull such a move. Liam and Noah had been crying because he was nowhere to be found. I kept on giving them excuses at first, but it didn’t take long before they caught the hint that Patrick was missing. We were all worried about him. Nobody heard from him for almost three days. And all he could say was that he needed to clear his head? My anger was simmering just beneath the surface. Jordan and I had spent so much time and resources just to find someone who was chilling in Paris. Even i

    Chapter 183Patrick Banks ~•~After I left the wedding, I went straight to the airport. Without hesitation. With no second thoughts, I bought a flight ticket to Paris. I just wanted to leave for a few days and clear my head. And most importantly, I didn’t want to tell anyone about it. I knew it was a selfish move, but I had to do what was best for me. I turned off my phone as soon as I got on the plane. I intentionally didn’t use the private terminal because I didn’t want anybody from the family to figure out where I was headed. All I wanted was silence, distance, and the anonymity of being just another man boarding a plane. As I sat in my seat, I leaned my head back and shut my eyes. As the plane took off, I felt a little bit guilty about what I was doing. I thought about the kids. They would wake up and wonder where I was and why I had disappeared. I didn’t tell anybody where I was going. Not even Valerie. I just wanted peace. I shoved the guilty thoughts aside. I had to
