All Chapters of Divorce: His Biggest Regret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Valerie Will~•~As I sat in the lobby, tapping my legs impatiently on the floor, my eyes darted to my watch. I had waited for my husband in the lobby for over an hour. He instructed the receptionist to keep me there until he was ready to see me. I didn’t have any choice but to wait since it was the only chance I could get to see him these days. I couldn’t even walk up to his office anymore because he asked the security guards not to let me in under any circumstances. The wait felt like an eternity. While I waited for him, I couldn’t help but think about how we got to this point. Patrick and I were such a perfect couple. Everything went well between us and I was envied by most of the other women in the city. People always talked about how lucky I was whenever we went out for events. They didn’t fail to shower us with praise whenever we posted on social media. I liked the fame and the attention. But I didn’t feel the same way when Patrick started acting differently. Our lives we

Chapter 3Valerie Will~•~I didn’t have time to respond to Patrick’s text, but throughout my time on set, my mind kept drifting back to what he had said to me. Apparently, he was giving me the silent treatment because I had done something. But I had no idea what I had done recently that would make him behave differently towards me. Why didn’t he just communicate with me instead of shutting me out? I looked forward to the end of the day because I wanted to go back home and talk to him in person. That was if he would even be at the house. He had been staying away from the house recently, just to avoid me. I was wondering what the reason was, but now I understand everything. But I was still lost about what I had done. “You keep forgetting your lines, you have to keep your head in the game,” Jamal whispered to me after we had tried shooting a scene for the third time. He was right. I was being distracted. The next few hours were hectic, I tried my best to stay focused until the e

Chapter 5Patrick Banks ~•~Valerie seemed shocked as I told her about it. “You are really a good actor.” I shook my head as I saw her stunned reaction. “I mean, that’s your line of work. Why am I surprised?” I added with a scoff. She narrowed her eyes on me. “Can you hear yourself? Who did I cheat on you with?” “Oh, please! Drop the act already.” My patience was wearing thin, and I was sick of her pretense. The pain of her betrayal pierced through my heart, and it felt like I was stabbed with a knife. Valerie’s expression turned serious. “Stop playing games with me. Who did I cheat on you with?” She didn’t hide the frustration in her voice. “Jamal.” His name burned on my lips. I made a mistake by trusting Valerie. I had made my concerns about Jamal known to her. Even though she assured me that nothing was going on with them, I always had this tiny voice in the back of my mind telling me that it would eventually happen. I saw Jamal as a ticking time bomb. And I was right.

Chapter 7Patrick Banks ~•~It wasn’t like I didn’t care. I cared deeply about my marriage. I was in love with Valerie. But she hurt me badly. What would people think if they found out that my wife cheated on me and I still stayed with her? My ex-wife now I guess. As I drove over to the hotel, I wondered if I was making a mistake by going there. Maybe I was, but I needed to do it. Valerie hurt me and I wanted her to feel the same way I was feeling. After a short drive, I arrived at the hotel’s parking lot. I texted Jessica to let her know that I had arrived. She gave me directions to the room, and in no time, I was standing in front of the door. Letting out a deep breath, I knocked gently on the wooden door. A few seconds later, Jessica answered the door. She stepped aside to allow me to walk into the room, then she closed the door behind us. “I had no idea you would actually come.” She whispered in my ear as she moved closer to me. “Are you sure you gave her the papers?
