Chapter 7

Patrick Banks POV

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.
