Chapter 231Valerie Will~•~“Massimo has been arrested for Benjamin’s murder.” That was the first thing Patrick said when he stepped into my room. I gasped in shock. “Are you serious? How did they get him?” I asked, my voice filled with curiosity. Massimo always acted like he was untouchable. “Apparently, Jordan and the police have been working on the case for a while without my knowledge. They also found out that he was also responsible for Jordan’s accident.” My eyes grew wide in disbelief. “Are you serious? Why would he want to hurt Jordan?” I asked, shaking my head. Patrick shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’m just happy that he has been arrested.” He said with a relieved sigh. “Madeline also called to apologize to me, she says she is sorry for accusing me wrongly.” “That’s great…you and your sister are now good,” I said, running my fingers through my hair. He nodded. “Yes, you have no idea how happy I am.” He responded with a wide smile. “I hope they also find the person who

Chapter 233Valerie Will~•~I promised Celeste to support her throughout the entire process of adopting a baby, so we spent the entire day doing just that. I didn’t go home after, I accompanied her to her house. It was almost dark, so she decided to make dinner for both of us. Even if I protested against it, she insisted. While I was in the living room, Celeste was in the kitchen preparing the meal. Shortly after, I heard a knock on the front door. “Answer the door, Val,” Celeste said loud enough for me to hear. With a nod, I stood up and walked to the door. When I opened the door, I wasn’t prepared for who I saw next. “What the fuck?” I gasped in shock. “Damien, what are you doing here? Are you stalking me?” I asked as my eyes raked over him from head to toe. He ran a hand through his hair. “No, I’m not stalking you…I just came here to talk to Celeste.” I couldn’t hold back a scoff. “That’s bullshit! You don’t even know Celeste. You haven’t even met her before, how did you k

Chapter 235Valerie Will ~•~“I don’t care if you’re still in love with him, you have to find a way to love me too. Or else, I’ll expose your secret to the whole world!” He said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with anger. I stared at him for a long second, my gaze also sparkling with fury. “Damien, you’re not going to expose me because it means you’ll also be implicating yourself too,” I said, my voice firm. I was tired of watching him threaten me any chance he got and holding that secret over my head. There was no proof that I was involved, so I couldn’t let him bully me anymore. I should’ve even thought of that before letting whatever we had get to this point. Damien responded with a dark chuckle. “Wait, you think I’m stupid enough to do something like that without clearing my tracks or making sure it doesn’t lead back to me?” My jaw clenched so hard that my teeth began to hurt. “I don’t care about what you did or didn’t do, but I know you won’t expose me, you don’t e

Chapter 237Patrick Banks ~•~“Call me later?” The lady asked as I walked her to the car. I smiled. “Sure.” After she left, I let out a relieved sigh I had no idea I had been holding. Then I got into my car and sat down in the passenger’s seat. I pulled out my phone and checked the blogs to see if they had posted anything about my date. Even if Valerie called initially and I told her I was on a date, I wanted her to get further confirmation from the blogs. My lips curled into a small smile when I read the headlines of one of the articles. “Patrick Banks Spotted with a Mystery Woman. Is He Finally Moving on From Valerie?” But some other blogs recognized the lady because she had already posted about us on her socials a while ago. It was a good thing that the blogs were so invested in my life. I couldn’t wait to see Valerie’s reaction to the news. I was nervous and scared at the same time. I just hoped that my plan would work. Shortly after, I shoved my phone into my pocket a

Chapter 239Valerie Will~•~I tried my best to control my emotions after Patrick told me straight to my face that he actually went on a date with another woman and proceeded to ask me if I had a problem with it. I was speechless for a few moments until I finally shook my head. When he left, I pulled out my phone and checked the news outlet to see if the paparazzi had taken photos of them. My heart sank as I saw how happy they looked. It even ached more because the lady looked so familiar. It took a second before I realized that I had seen photos of them on social media. They went on a date a few weeks before I returned to New York on that business trip — the same one that changed everything. I wiped off the tears that had welled up at the corners of my eyes with the back of my hands. “Don’t cry, Valerie. You aren’t together and he has the right to move on. He gave you so many chances and you rejected him.”Even though I tried to convince myself with those words, it didn’t do anyt
