Chapter 6

Valerie Will

~•~

Jamal?

How could Patrick say I cheated on him with Jamal?

I couldn’t even believe he would accuse me of cheating on him. Let alone, cheating on him with Jamal. We had talked about it several times and I assured Patrick that nothing was happening between us.

We were just co-stars. Nothing else.

But Patrick didn’t trust me.

How can a marriage work without trust? The accusation was so baseless and I couldn’t help but wonder who fed him with all those lies.

Why did he even believe the person?

He claimed he had evidence, but he didn’t want to show it to me. I was so confused that I couldn’t even bring myself to trust his words.

What if he was just tired of the marriage and used Jamal as an excuse to end it? I never cheated on him, so there was no way he had any evidence to back up his accusations.

My whole world was falling apart right in front of me and I couldn’t do anything about it. Patrick had made up his mind, and I wasn’t sure anything I would say

    Chapter 168Patrick Banks ~•~I was letting my emotions get the best of me and I couldn’t control it even if I tried. Too many things were happening and it was making me lose my mind. I tried my best to stop those words from leaving my mouth, but they slipped out before I could even realize. That was the meanest thing I had ever said to Valerie. The look on her face still haunted me. The way she snatched Isla out of my hand like I wasn’t also the baby’s father. And I didn’t blame her. If someone had told me a year ago that I would talk to Valerie in that manner, I would have laughed at their silly joke. But my life was crumbling before my eyes and my emotions were all over the place. I just wanted a break but I couldn’t take a break, not when my company was on the brink of doom. I raked a hand through my hair and let out a sharp exhale as I paced around the room. I would apologize to Valerie later but at the moment, I needed to find a way to fix my problems. There was only on

    Chapter 167Valerie Will~•~“I’m sorry I missed your call. I was in court.” Celeste apologized as I answered the phone. “How are you doing?” I let out a wistful sigh. “I’m good, I guess.” “You and Patrick still aren’t talking?” I nodded. “Yeah.” Ever since Patrick thought I was trying to justify what Jordan had done, he iced me out. He barely said any words to me even when I tried my best to start up a conversation. He didn’t even spare me a glance. But when it came to the kids, he was still acting like his usual self. At least, he didn’t shut them out even though he was dealing with a lot of things. I admired that about him, even if it hurt that I wasn’t included in that version of him anymore, the kids still got his warmth and attention. But I just couldn’t help but wonder how long he would continue with that attitude. It was getting frustrating but I couldn’t even do anything about it anymore. I had apologized countless times but he still wasn’t interested in speaking to

    Chapter 166Valerie Will~•~I pulled it out of my purse and saw Patrick’s name flashing across the screen. “Where are you?” He demanded, the urgency evident in his voice. “I’m at the bridal dress shop with Blair.” Without delay, he barked. “Leave there now.” My lips parted in confusion and I blinked. “What?” “You heard me correctly, leave there right away.” Patrick practically barked his words. “Jordan isn’t associated with us anymore.” “What are you even talking about?” I took a step back, heading over to a quiet corner. “What did he do?” I asked, my heart racing. “I’m on my way home right now. I’ll explain everything to you.” “Okay, but I can’t just abandon Blair. I’ll see you later.”With that, I ended the call and turned off my phone. I didn’t want Patrick to try and convince me to leave. But I couldn’t stop wondering what must’ve happened between him and Jordan. He sounded so upset and I had never heard me speak about Jordan in that manner before. It bothered me that

    Chapter 165Patrick Banks ~•~I texted Jordan to ask him where he was. After he responded, I drove over to his house. “Hey.” He said as he answered the front door. I didn’t respond. I just walked into the living room. “What’s going on?” Jordan asked with a skeptical look as he stood in front of me. “Why do you look……weird?” He added. I didn’t even know how to say what I wanted to say. I let out a deep sigh. “Is everything okay?” He continued. “Did you ask Massimo for help when Benjamin came to New York?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Did you ask them to do whatever it takes to remove him from the picture?” Jordan’s expression flattered for a brief second. Then he let out a sharp exhale and began pacing back and forth around the living room. He didn’t answer my question. I let out a deep breath. “Jordan, look me in the eyes and tell me that you aren’t responsible for my brother’s death.” I continued, my voice calm. Jordan paused and stared at me. “I’m not res

    Chapter 164Patrick Banks ~•~I met Massimo at a private restaurant. As soon as I saw him, he asked his security guards to search me. “What was that for?” I asked with a bitter scoff. He adjusted his glasses. “What if you were wearing a wire and wanted to set me up?” He replied, gesturing for me to sit on the empty chair opposite him. “A wire? I’m trying to find a way to save my company and you think I’m wearing a wire?” I glared at him, still standing there. “I’m sorry. Just precautions. Nothing personal.” He offered a lame apology. “Sit and let’s talk.” I sat down and went straight to the point. “You said that I asked you to help me kill my brother?” I breathed, the words sounding hollow even to my own ears. “Nobody is listening to our conversation Patrick, you can drop the act now,” Massimo replied, his voice cold. “We did you a huge favor.” I tilted my head in confusion. “When did I come to you for help?” I asked, genuinely confused. “You’re tripping, man. Where did we me

    Chapter 163Valerie Will~•~Jordan’s fiancée and I weren’t initially close, but after they got engaged, she started coming around more often. I got to know her and realized that she was actually a cool person. I even offered to be part of her wedding planning team, partly because I wanted to help out genuinely, and partly because I felt it was the least I could do after she helped organize that beautiful baby shower. At first, it was just about returning a favor, but somewhere along the line, I could notice that it was developing into something else. Maybe we would actually be friends. I didn’t have many friends, so I didn’t shut down the idea completely. We even had to go to the wedding dress shop for her fittings later in the day. Jordan had been nothing but wonderful to Patrick, and I wanted to support him and his new family. I knew it was a good idea to go out with everything that was going on, but I had already promised Blair that I would accompany her and wanted to keep t
