Chapter 49

Patrick Banks

~•~

I didn’t want it to get to this, but Valerie forced my hand.

Ever since I confronted her about our son, she had cut all communication with me. I tried to call her several times. I sent her numerous texts.

I just wanted to talk.

But she ignored me.

After I confirmed from the hospital that Valerie was actually pregnant, I decided to take a trip to Texas. Now that I had some basic information about her, my PI found her without any hassle.

He was able to give me information about our son.

His name was Liam.

I knew that Valerie wouldn’t even let me into her home, so I decided to head over to the boy’s school. After convincing his class teacher that I was his father, she released him to me.

I kept on looking at him as I took him to the car.

He was a spitting image of me.

Why did Valerie lie about him?

There was nothing she could say that would convince me that we didn’t have a son together. The resemblance was uncanny.

“Who are you?” The boy asked a

    Chapter 246Patrick Banks ~•~It was the happiest day of my life. I couldn’t stop smiling. Even when Valerie had left to talk to her friends, I kept on stealing glances at her. I couldn’t believe that we were about to get married again, rewriting the ending we once destroyed. Everything felt so surreal. I had been looking forward to this day ever since I saw her at the hotel. At some point, I almost gave up. But I was glad that I didn’t. It was a good thing Jordan was so supportive and reminded me that Valerie was my soulmate. “I’m so proud of you, Patrick.” Jordan’s soft voice dragged me out of my thoughts. “You finally got your dream woman.” I nodded with a smirk. “Yes, you have no idea how happy I am…it still feels like a dream. For a second up there, I thought it wasn’t going to work out because she was being so difficult.” Jordan chuckled. “Then this whole surprise decorations and proposal would have just been a waste.” I sighed heavily. “I don’t even want to think abo

    Chapter 245Valerie Will ~•~“A marriage proposal,” Patrick responded with a proud smile that registered across his face. “Wh—how? How did you set everything up?” I asked, still in awe. “I had been planning to do it for a while now.” Wow. My mind hadn’t caught up with what was happening. “So what if I hadn’t agreed to give you a second chance? You weren’t even on your phone while we were in the room. When did you tell the boys about it?” I had so many questions. “I knew you would agree.” He responded with a cocky grin. “And the boys knew about it since. They promised to keep it a secret.” “Wow,” I muttered under my breath. Everything was so beautiful and perfect. I never expected Patrick to pull off something like that. I thought we were coming downstairs to break the news to the kids, not knowing that I was walking into my surprise proposal. “Do you like it?” He asked as he pulled me into a warm embrace. “Of course, I do,” I replied, my voice barely audible. “I love it.

    Chapter 244Valerie Will ~•~It felt good watching Patrick beg and try to convince me to give him a second chance. Even though I was scared, I was still open to the idea of trying again. But I just wanted him to prove to me how bad he wanted me. I had already thought about everything, I wouldn’t let what people had to say get to me. We all made mistakes in the past and I didn’t want to dwell on them or hold it against anybody. I was finally ready to forgive Patrick. We had been through so much. I was starting to believe that Patrick was actually my soulmate. He was the only one who made sense and I chose to believe him when he promised that he was a changed man. Maybe we could make it work this time around. “Valerie?” Patrick’s soft voice dragged me out of my thoughts. I turned around and looked at him. “Yes?” “What are you thinking about?” He asked, reaching out to my finger and intertwining it with his. I shrugged my shoulders. “I don’t know, I’m just thinking about the

    Chapter 243Patrick Banks ~•~Everything in my life was slowly turning back to normal. But I didn’t even care about them because the only thing I desperately needed was for Valerie to give me a second chance. After I found out the truth about her and Damien, I didn’t make a move immediately. I wanted to wait for the perfect time before confessing my feelings — after putting him behind bars. Jordan and I worked really hard to make it happen. But even after everything was over, Valerie was still trying to give me a hard time and I didn’t appreciate it. I outright told her about how I felt and she responded with just ‘okay’. I wouldn’t lie, it hurt my feelings. “Are you being serious, Valerie?” I asked, crossing my arms around my chest. “So you don’t feel the same way?” She hesitated for a while, her eyes darting anywhere but mine. “Valerie.” I took a step closer and reached out to her hands. It was a good thing that she didn’t pull away. “I know you might be scared, but I want y

    Chapter 242Valerie Will ~•~TWO MONTHS LATER“To new beginnings.” Patrick smiled as he lifted his glass. Jordan, Blair, and I joined him. “To new beginnings.” We all chorused in unison. I couldn’t help but smile as I looked around, taking a sip of my red wine. We promised to celebrate when Patrick and Jordan eventually found a way to get rid of Fredrick. But this time around, it was a double celebration. Not only did we get rid of Fredrick, we also got rid of Damien. As for Fredrick, the board members voted him out and forced his hand to sell his shares. I had no idea how Patrick and Jordan did it, but I was grateful that they did. Then in Damien’s case, they were also the ones who found a way to take care of the problem. I was able to delete the evidence he had against me from his phone, but that wasn’t enough to get rid of him. They hired a private investigator to dig into his life and find what he didn’t want anyone else to see. When they finally did, an anonymous tip was

    Chapter 241Valerie Will ~•~“Did you decide to forgive me and agree to this date because of Patrick?” Damien’s question startled me and I shifted uncomfortably in my chair. I shook my head. “Why are you asking?” I demanded, making sure to avoid eye contact with him. Did he already figure out that it was Patrick who convinced me to go out with him or what? He leaned his back against his chair. “I saw on the news that he went out on a date with someone else last night…you’re still in love with him and it hurt you, so you’re using this date as payback.” A relieved sigh I hadn’t realized I was holding escaped my lips. I thought he was talking about something else. “I’m not really bothered about Patrick…I’m not in love with him either. I just said those things because you made me really upset.” I replied, trying to sound convincing. He narrowed his eyes. “Are you serious?” He asked with a hint of excitement in his voice. “You didn’t mean those things?” “I’ve told you a million tim
