I Hope You Will Never Regret

August looked at his wife with a hint of mockery in his eyes and asked, “How does it feel to be ignored by your beloved brother?” Elizabeth looked at her husband with eyes full of hatred, but she didn’t utter a word. Edwin walked to the living room with his wife and his daughter laughing. Elizabeth felt that they were mocking her, she couldn’t breathe. She felt suffocated.

At that moment, the helpers informed them that food was being served. They washed their hands, and then they walked to the dining room. Butler Bruce was standing beside Mr Martins. Edwin looked at him and asked, “Butler Bruce, where is Aunt Rose?” Butler Bruce looked at Mrs Martins with disdain in his eyes and replied, “Mr Parker, please ask your sister.”

Edwin raised his eyes slightly at his sister, but Elizabeth ignored him. She started putting food on her plate. Edwin’s face darkened and asked, “What happened, Elizabeth?” The atmosphere in the dining room became awkward. August decided to intervene and said, “Brother-in-law, let’s eat. I will tell you everything that your beloved sister did later.” Then they started eating.

Later, August asked Butler Bruce to take the children to the garden. Then they went to the living room to talk. August looked at his brother-in-law and said, “On the day that you left, your sister beat up my daughter. Fortunately, Bridgette was in her room. When she heard a commotion, she stopped Elizabeth before she kicked Avery. Then she broke her arm.”

Edwin looked at his sister and asked, “Elizabeth, didn’t I warn you about abusing my niece before I left?” Elizabeth pouted her mouth and replied, “It was your fault. You went to Australia without telling me. You wanted me to sit still and do nothing? In your dreams, big brother.” Edwin was so shocked he didn’t know what to say.

August looked at Edwin and said, “That was nothing, brother-in-law. While she was in hospital, I decided to take everyone on vacation. When we came back, we found a stranger in Aunt Rose’s bedroom and her closet was empty. Your beloved sister put all Aunt Rose’s clothes in a box and throws them away. During that week it was raining hard, and everything was damaged.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Edwin was so angry, he rushed to his sister and slapped her hard across her face and asked, “What is wrong with you Elizabeth? Aunt Rose is your mother-in-law’s sister. How could you be so cruel?” Edwin went all out and slapped her again. Elizabeth’s face swelled. Her face was so painful, she rubbed it slowly. Then she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

August sighed and said, “My Aunt and my daughter suffered because you wanted to fix things between you and your wife. Later, your lovely sister told my son that initially she didn’t want to have Avery, but I threatened her with a divorce. In a fit of anger, Aiden told Avery that he wished his mother had succeeded in aborting her. Brother-in-law, I don’t know what to do. My daughter is not comfortable in her own home because of your sister.”

Edwin was so shocked he didn’t know what to say. He looked at his sister coldly and asked, “Elizabeth is my brother-in-law telling the truth?” Elizabeth looked at her brother with disdain in her eyes and replied, “They deserve it. I don’t want trash in my house. I am so happy that they are no longer in my house. I think I will finally gain weight.”

Edwin’s gaze was cold, and he said, “You are a sociopath, Elizabeth. From today onwards, I cut all ties with you. I don’t want you to contact my family. I am no longer your brother.” Then he looked at his brother-in-law and said, “Please protect your children from this animal. Divorce her quickly.”

Elizabeth laughed out loud when she heard her brother’s words and said, “I will never sign the divorce papers. Edwin, this is how you thank me for introducing you to a soft life. If I didn’t marry August, where would you be? You are so ungrateful.”

Cathy was so angry when she heard Elizabeth’s words and replied, “Don’t talk as if you’ve done us a favour. I was offered a position to be a Hospital Superintendent, but I had to decline because you wanted your brother to come back to Durban. I regret that I have allowed you to play with our feelings.”

Edwin looked at his brother-in-law and said, “Brother-in-law, the Shelton family had offered to open a company for me in Australia, but I turned them down because of my sister. However, I changed my mind. I am tendering my resignation. On Monday, I will go back to work to serve my notice.”

August smiled and replied, “Brother-in-law, I accept your resignation and you don’t have to serve a notice. You can go back to Australia to manage your company. Deep down in my heart I am glad that you have finally seen the light. I don’t think your marriage will survive if you are still here in South Africa. Your black-hearted sister will never let you off.”

Elizabeth was so angry, she trembled. She looked at her sister-in-law with hatred in her eyes and said, “Let me tell you something, my dearest sister-in-law. When you were in Australia, your beloved husband asked me to look for a divorce lawyer. Also, he wanted to apply for my niece’s full custody. Do you think you mean something to him? He is just playing with you.”

Edwin heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the Lord for allowing him to avoid the disaster by telling his wife about this matter beforehand. He didn’t want to think about the consequences if his wife believed his sister over him. He looked at his sister in a different light. She wanted to destroy their marriage at all costs.

Cathy laughed out loud and replied, “I am sorry to disappoint you, my dearest sister-in-law. Your brother recorded the conversation between you and him. You were the one who suggested the divorce lawyer and full custody of my daughter. I have tolerated you because of your brother. You are not my match. Get in your thick skull that you no longer have a brother. We are giving you a taste of your medicine. Is it sweet as honey?”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She blinked her beautiful eyes, but she didn’t utter a word. Her beloved big brother betrayed her. He chose an outsider over her. Her heart was filled with bitterness and resentment. She almost couldn’t breathe, she felt suffocated. The hatred towards her sister-in-law was very deep. She looked at her brother and said, “Big brother, I was wrong, please forgive me.”
