Chapter 21

Valerie Will

~•~

“Did you forgive him?” My mother asked as I went upstairs. She went to wait for me in my room after she left Patrick and me alone.

I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. “I couldn’t do it. I’ll hate myself every day if I give him a second chance.”

A part of me wanted to forgive him.

I still loved Patrick.

But I couldn’t move past such betrayal.

Cheating was so disrespectful. Maybe I would have had second thoughts if he had cheated with a random woman. Or even his ex-girlfriend.

But he chose to do it with my own blood sister.

The thought of everything was irritating. Plus, there was a sex tape. How could someone forgive something like that? The best thing to do was to move on.

It wasn’t going to be easy, but I would take it one day at a time. The beauty of life was that I would eventually get over it. No matter how long it would take.

“Come here.” My mother left her arms wide open.

Wiping off my tears with the back of my hand, I walked into

    Chapter 109Valerie Will ~•~“But it feels like we are drifting apart from each other.” Celeste’s voice cracked slightly through the phone. “I honestly thought that things had gotten better between us.” I stared at the half-empty coffee on my desk, tracing my thumb around the rim. I couldn’t get any sleep the previous night because I was restless due to Benjamin’s threat. “We haven’t seen each other in forever.” She continued. “It feels like you’re shutting me out.” I let out a slow breath, rubbing my temple. “I’m sorry,” I murmured. Celeste was the least of my problems at the moment. I knew she was just speaking out of guilt, even if she had no idea that I knew about what she did. I could tell from her voice alone that guilt was eating her up. I knew I said I wasn’t going to confront her, but I couldn’t just act like everything was okay between us. Even though I tried to act normal, I ended up finding myself keeping my distance from her. We barely talked on the phone and I alw

    Chapter 108Patrick Banks ~•~The truth was that I didn’t even want Benjamin to get any position in my company. I didn’t want to work with him either. I just wanted him gone. He wasn’t even grateful that Valerie was ready to negotiate with him, he straight up gave me an ultimatum and ended the call. Benjamin was definitely out of his mind. I grabbed my phone from the kitchen counter and stormed out of the kitchen. Valerie called my name but I didn’t stop to answer. “I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry about anything.” I said loud enough for her to hear as I continued walking. When I passed the living room, I saw Liam still sitting on the couch. A part of me wanted to stop and ask for his forgiveness. But I decided to give him a little more space. I had something else to take care of. I had no idea how I was going to handle the Benjamin situation, but I knew that I would do anything to protect myself and my family. Just as I stepped into my room and closed the door, my phone star

    Chapter 107Valerie Will~•~I had to promise Liam that I would take him over to Patrick’s mother’s house by myself before he stopped crying. He was so upset that Patrick deceived him and left the house without him. I understood why Patrick didn’t want to take him there, but he should have just been honest with him. After Liam finally stopped crying, we stayed in the living room and cuddled while we watched television. As he held me, I couldn’t help but wonder…If this is how heartbroken Liam was after one lie from his father, what would happen when he found out the whole truth? I closed my eyes briefly, letting out a deep sigh. I just hoped that Patrick’s visit to his mother’s house was fruitful. Patrick needed to find a way to take care of Benjamin. To convince him to leave New York. While I was still spiraling in my thoughts, the front door creaked open. I turned around and saw Patrick walking into the living room. “Hey,” I muttered. “Hey.” From Patrick’s expression, I coul

    Chapter 106Patrick Banks ~•~The room fell into a thick choking silence. Then my mother’s eyes darted between me and Benjamin. “What did he just say?” She asked slowly, her voice barely above a whisper. “Nothing,” I replied. “I said he’s a murderer!” Benjamin repeated, his eyes fixed on me. “You think he’s your perfect innocent son, but I know about everything that he has done.” My fists curled into a ball. “You better watch your mouth,” I warned him. “Or what?” Benjamin asked with a scoff. My mother stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with fear. “What is going on? Who did you kill, Patrick?” She demanded, her voice cracking. “I didn’t kill anybody, I’m not a murderer!” I snapped, my voice defensive. “Benjamin has no idea what he is talking about.” She turned to Benjamin. “Who did your brother kill?” Tears had already started falling from her eyes. Why did Benjamin have to say something like that in front of our mother?He let out a humorless laugh. “Ask Valerie. Or ask him y

    Chapter 105Patrick Banks ~•~All the ideas Jordan and I came up with were illegal. I couldn’t do something like that. Not to my family. I wasn’t that desperate. Yet. “Daddy!” Liam’s voice interrupted me from my thoughts. “Liam!” The frown on my face automatically disappeared as I saw him smiling at me. “How are you?” I asked as he sat down beside me. “I’m fine. I heard you are going to see my other grandma. Can I go with you?” He asked, his eyes wide with hope. My lips parted and I blinked. “Where did you hear that?” “I overheard you when you were talking to somebody on the phone.” I swallowed hard. I would have loved to take him to meet my mom — ever since he passed out at her house, he hadn’t gone to visit her. But I wanted to go there to talk about something important and it wasn’t a conversation he could listen to. There was a beat of silence. I needed to think of a way to let him down easily. “Liam?” I called out his name and he looked at me. “Can we go some other tim

    Chapter 104Valerie Will~•~“Benjamin Banks is back!” The words rang in my ear like a gunshot. My hands became clammy immediately. “Valerie!” Patrick continued. “What are we going to do?” He asked with a hint of fear and urgency in his voice. I let out a deep sigh, biting my fingertips. “What does he want?” Benjamin was Patrick’s older brother. They never saw eye to eye and they had a clash in the past because of their family’s company. But somehow, Patrick managed to get the ownership because his father actually left the company in his name. Benjamin was devastated and embarrassed because his younger brother turned out to be in charge of their family legacy. So he moved to London with his family. But when he was in London, he kept on sending us cryptic messages, talking about how he knew our secret and how he would come back to take what was his when the time was right. At first, we thought he was bluffing, but he showed us evidence that he actually knew about the secret we
