Chapter 21

Valerie Will POV

“Did you forgive him?” My mother asked as I went upstairs. She went to wait for me in my room after she left Patrick and me alone.

I shook my head, tears streaming down my face. “I couldn’t do it. I’ll hate myself every day if I give him a second chance.”

A part of me wanted to forgive him.

I still loved Patrick.

But I couldn’t move past such betrayal.

Cheating was so disrespectful. Maybe I would have had second thoughts if he had cheated with a random woman. Or even his ex-girlfriend.

But he chose to do it with my own blood sister.

The thought of everything was irritating. Plus, there was a sex tape. How could someone forgive something like that? The best thing to do was to move on.

It wasn’t going to be easy, but I would take it one day at a time. The beauty of life was that I would eventually get over it. No matter how long it would take.

“Come here.” My mother left her arms wide open.
