Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce: His Biggest Regret: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Chapter 13Patrick Banks~•~I wasn’t sure if I was ready to let go. I had invested so much time in our marriage. We always talked about our future together and we had so many plans. But suddenly, everything came crashing down. At some point, I tried to second-guess my decision. Did I really have to give up on my marriage, or should I have given her a second chance? Was I doing the right thing? I knew that it would hurt as hell, that was why I was grateful when she asked me to hold on for a week. I wasn’t sure I was ready to close our chapter completely. Even if I didn’t act like I was thrilled about it, I felt slightly relieved. I just wanted things to be different. My heart hurt every morning whenever I woke up to an empty bed. We lived under the same roof but barely spoke to each other. Why did she have to cheat? It was the longest week of my life, but it was finally over. I stood there on the red carpet, faking a smile as the cameras flashed on our faces. Even if things

Chapter 14Valerie Will~•~Jessica! Of course, it was her. I wasn’t even surprised - just sick. Now everything was beginning to make sense. From the time we went on the supposed girls’ trip to how she randomly called me the other day to ask how I was doing. She wanted to frame me. That was why she suggested that we go on a sister’s trip together. We didn’t get along so I was reluctant at first, but my mother convinced me to go with her. I knew that Jessica was the one who manipulated her too. She knew exactly what she was doing. And her plans worked. Jessica had always been jealous of my marriage. I had shoved Patrick’s concerns when he told me that she tried to make passes at him. I thought it wasn’t that deep. But I was wrong. God. I felt so stupid. Jessica had it out for me and she wanted to destroy my marriage. I couldn’t even understand why she hated me so much. What did I ever do to her? She was jealous of me, my life, my career, and my marriage. She went as fa

Chapter 16Patrick Banks ~•~“I’m going to kill that girl!” I said through gritted teeth and held myself back from punching the dashboard. I was fuming with anger. I couldn’t believe how stupid I was. Why didn’t I listen to Valerie when she told me she didn’t cheat on me? Why didn’t I give her the benefit of the doubt? She was even calling my phone but I couldn’t answer it. I needed to stop blaming Jessica. Everything was my fault. I let my emotions get the best of me. I was insecure when it came to Jamal, so I just believed the lies she told me. I even went ahead to punch an innocent man. I should’ve known better. Jessica and Valerie didn’t have the best relationship. It made sense that she would formulate lies just to ruin her sister. God. What have I done to myself? It was a good thing that Valerie hadn’t signed the papers yet. I needed to go back home and apologize to her. It was just a big misunderstanding. I could only hope that she would be able to forgive me. “Tak

Chapter 18Patrick Banks~•~Jessica filmed me without my consent and went ahead to leak it to the entire world. My mind raced with different thoughts. This wasn’t about Valerie anymore. It was bigger than that.She had destroyed my reputation. “Oh my goodness,” I whispered as I paced back and forth around the hotel room like a madman. I couldn’t even see myself going back to the house. What would I say to Valerie? I won’t be able to look her in the eyes. I was ashamed of myself. How did I let something like this happen? Jessica was a cold-blooded evil woman who didn’t care about anything.It didn’t even bother her that her face showed in the recording. She sacrificed herself just to bring me down. I felt so devastated. If only I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have even listened to her when she said she had something important to show me. She didn’t even give me a warning. She didn’t try to negotiate. I had no idea she made a tape and she released it without my consent. “W

Chapter 20Patrick Banks~•~My hopes were dashed as Valerie reminded me of my reaction when I thought she cheated on me with Jamal. I ended things with her and now the tables were turned. How could I make her understand? What could I possibly say that would convince her to give me a second chance? “Valerie, I’m sorry that I didn’t trust you. But I didn’t technically cheat on you. I gave you the divorce papers before doing anything with Jessica.” I knew my defense was hollow, but I needed to say something. Even if it wasn’t reasonable, I wanted her to know that if things were different, I wouldn’t have hurt her like that. The damage had already been done, but I was ready to go to any length to fix it. I didn’t want a divorce anymore. I didn’t want to lose my wife. I couldn’t even imagine my life without Valerie. “Cheating on your wife is one thing, but cheating on your wife with her sister is another level of betrayal,” Valerie responded, her expression unreadable. “And before
