I Hope You Will Never Regret

After the helper left the Martins mansion, she went to the public hospital. The attending doctor examined her, then he gave her a swelling ointment. The helper’s name was Sierra Rogers.

She looked at the doctor and said, “Doctor, someone assaulted me, I want to open a case against her. Please provide me with the medical report.”

The attending doctor quickly wrote the medical report, then he handed it to her. Sierra thanked the doctor, then she took a taxi, but she didn’t go to the police station.

Sierra was fuming with anger. She decided to go to The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA). She was aggrieved because she was unfairly dismissed. She filled out the forms and attached the medical report.

Sierra Rogers was a breadwinner. Her husband, Thomas Rogers, was retrenched for technological reasons a year ago.

When Sierra heard that the Martins were looking for a helper, she resigned from her old job. She worked two days per week.

The following day, the courier company delivered the copy of the CCMA to the Martins mansion. Elizabeth was so shocked that the matter had been referred to the CCMA. The matter was sitting on the 29th of April.

Elizabeth was so scared she didn’t know what to do. Her mind went blank. She decided to call her beloved son for help.

At that moment, Aiden was standing next to the floor-to-floor window lost in thought. When Lily told him he was inferior to Jordan, he stopped working in the Finance department.

His train of thought was disturbed by the ringing of his phone. He walked to his desk to fetch the phone. His eyes lit up when he saw the caller ID and said, “Hello, Mom. What a pleasant surprise.”

Elizabeth was overjoyed when she heard her son’s voice and said, “Aiden, I need your help. Please come home after work.”

Aiden furrowed his brows and asked, “What has your precious niece done?” Elizabeth was dumbfounded when she heard Aiden’s words. How did he guess that she was in that predicament because of Lily?

Elizabeth smiled and replied, “Son, it’s got nothing to do with Lily. I really need your help, Son.” Aiden promised his mother that he would go home after work. Then they hung up.

Aiden went to his father’s office and knocked on the door. His father said, “Come in.” Aiden walked to his father’s office and sat on the sofa. He looked at his father and said, “Dad, I just received a call from Mom asking for my help.

I can’t shake the feeling that my mother is asking me to go back home because Lily has messed up.” His father looked at him and replied, “Son, please don’t involve me in your mother’s matters. She is no longer my responsibility.”

Aiden was taken aback when he heard his father’s words and asked, “Daddy, if my mother asks for forgiveness, will you give her a second chance?”

His father shook his head and replied, “No. My deepest regret was falling in love with your mother. I poured my heart into her, but she took our marriage for granted.

I will never forgive your mother for embarrassing the Martins family during my daughter’s betrothal ceremony. It was clear to me that your mother had never loved me. Do you know that your mother has changed her last name to Parker?”

Aiden was shocked to hear that. It was clear to him that his mother was forced by Lily to change her last name to Parker.

He was overwhelmed with bitterness. His mother allowed Lily to destroy his home, and he would never forgive Lily for that.

Aiden bade his father goodbye, then he went back to his office with a heavy heart. He was hoping that his father would wait for his mother to come back to her senses, but it was his wishful thinking.

After work, Aiden sent a text message to his mother indicating that he was not related to the Parker family. Furthermore, he indicated that he didn’t want to involve himself in the Parker family matters.

After Avery’s betrothal ceremony, his father gave him a set of keys. Aiden was overjoyed when he saw his lavishly decorated Penthouse. He felt that he had made a good decision by moving out.

At the Martins mansion, Aunt Elizabeth and Lily were not on speaking terms. Lily was blaming her aunt for not helping her when she was being beaten up by the helper. Also, Lily was angry with her aunt for refusing to hire a new helper.

Aunt Elizabeth was in the living room waiting for her beloved son. She didn’t see her son’s text message indicating that he was not coming because she left her phone in her bedroom.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Since Sierra left before she prepared lunch and dinner, they had been eating bread and cheese. Aunt Elizabeth used to hate their previous helpers because they were hired by her ex-husband.

She wished she could rehire them. They were good cooks, and they were hard-working.

She went to her bedroom to get her phone. She then dialed His Mercy restaurant’s number and asked them to deliver food to the Martins mansion.

When she saw her beloved son’s text message, her eyes lit up. However, she was overwhelmed with sadness when she read her son’s text message. How did her son find out that she had changed her last name to Parker?

She didn’t doubt in her mind that it was Lily who told him. What was her purpose? Was she trying to sow discord between her and her beloved son? Her heart became bitter.

Half an hour later, His Mercy restaurant’s delivery arrived. The delivery man looked at Elizabeth and said, “It will be two thousand rand, Madam. Are you paying cash or with a card?”

Elizabeth was so shocked that she couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time. It dawned on her that all the benefits she had received before were because she was Mrs Martins.

She smiled at the delivery man and replied, “Please wait for me, I am going to fetch money.” She quickly went to her bedroom to fetch her debit card.

Whilst she was paying her bill, she saw Lily getting in her car and driving away without saying a word to her. It was clear to her that Lily was going to the bar.

She felt that she had let down her late brother. Lily was out of control, and she didn’t know how to handle her.
