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

Chapter 11Valerie Will~•~“So you sent your mother to convince me to change my mind about the divorce?” I hadn’t even properly entered the house when Patrick’s voice echoed through the quiet room. I froze. What did my mother say to Patrick? She was meant to talk to him about holding it off until after the movie premiere. Patrick stood a few feet away, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. “I didn’t send her,” I replied quietly. “She offered to do it by herself.” He scoffed. “Does she know the reason why I wanted a divorce? Did you tell her about everything?” He asked, narrowing his eyes on me. “What? Why didn’t you tell her about it when you ran off to break the news to her?” I rolled my eyes, my voice slightly cracked. “I didn’t tell her about the divorce. I haven’t even spoken to your mother in a while.” He replied with a hint of confusion in his voice. “I was even surprised when she called me to discuss it.” What was going on? If Patrick didn’t tell her about it. Who

Chapter 13 Valerie Will ~•~ Throughout the event, my eyes kept drifting to my phone. Celeste had promised to give me what I wanted before the end of the day. But she still hadn’t reached out to me. I was nervous but I pretended like everything was okay. I felt bad because Patrick seemed uncomfortable being in the same room with Jamal. Even if it wasn’t true, he thought I cheated on him with Jamal. I had no idea what was going through his head. But I knew that he wasn’t thrilled about Jamal’s presence. It didn’t come as a surprise when he excused himself from the theatre. He claimed he was going to the bathroom but I knew he just wanted space from me and Jamal. After a few minutes had passed and he didn’t come back, I didn’t bother asking him where he was. Not because Eli didn’t care, but because I didn’t want to put him in an awkward position. I decided to wait until the movie was over before texting him. Patrick made it clear to me that he was only attend

Chapter 15Patrick Banks ~•~As I drove away, my phone buzzed with texts and calls. But I ignored them. I didn’t care to hear what anybody had to say. After a short drive, I pulled up the gate. But I paused for a moment and turned off the engine. Did I really want to spend the night under the same roof with Valerie? She would want to have a conversation with me and I wasn’t ready for that. I was tired of her lies and disrespect. I just wanted a break from everything. I shouldn’t have gone to that stupid event! Now I would be trending for all the bad reasons! I felt good about punching him, but I felt bad about myself for not being able to control my emotions. The whole world would know that I was insecure. I messed up. But how could they do that to me? And the worst part was that he still had the guts to smile at me like everything was normal. Maybe Valerie didn’t tell him that I had already caught them. I felt like a fool. Jamal needed to pay. He fucking ruined my marri

Chapter 17Valerie Will~•~A wave of nausea washed over me and I hung up the call immediately. There was a crushing weight in my chest that felt like a physical punch. I gasped for air as her words replayed in my head. ‘He slept with your sister.’I clutched at my chest, as if I could somehow hold off the pain. My phone dropped to the ground and shattered. I stumbled backward, letting out shallow breaths. Patrick slept with Jessica?No, it wasn’t possible. Patrick wouldn’t do that to me. He loved me. He knew how I felt about Jessica. He knew how Jessica could be sometimes. He wouldn’t hurt me like that. No, it had to be a misunderstanding. Celeste had no idea what she was talking about. She didn’t read the texts correctly. At least, that was what I tried to say to make myself feel better. But I didn’t even believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. I closed my eyes briefly, trying to steady myself. Then I sat down on the bed, my mind racing with different thoughts.

Chapter 19Valerie Will~•~‘I knew it was too good to be true.’‘They made us seem like they had a perfect marriage.’‘She’ll be stupid if she forgives him.’‘I saw right through Patrick.’ ‘The nicest men are the most evil.’ ‘Poor Valerie. I can only imagine what she’s going through right now.’ ‘So both sisters are sharing a dick?’My mother snatched my phone from me. “I told you not to read those comments, Valerie.” I scoffed. “I already feel miserable. Those comments wouldn’t make me feel any worse.” I replied, running my fingers through my hair. She sat down beside me, letting out a deep sigh. “I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.” She apologized, her voice sympathetic. I rolled my eyes. “You don’t have to apologize to me. You didn’t sleep with my husband.” My voice was faint, filled with hurt and pain. My mother pulled me closer. “I know, but I hate to see you like this.” I hated to see myself like that too. “Have you talked to Jessica?” I asked, raising a brow
