I Hope You Will Never Regret

Lydia had a sleepless night. She woke up at 6 am when she heard voices. She walked to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After she dressed up, she took her suitcase and headed to the living room. Butler Bruce opened the door for her and asked her to leave. Her heart became bitter, and she left the house with a heavy heart.

Butler Bruce asked two helpers to clean Aunt Rose’s room. At that moment, Clayton came to fetch his boss. Butler Bruce asked him to help him to remove the bed from Aunt Rose’s bed to the servants’ quarters.

Mr Martins woke up around 7 am. He took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He walked to his closet and chose casual clothes. He was exhausted; he decided not to go to work today. Fortunately, he had covered a lot of work when he was at His Goodness Resort. He had a headache, and his temples were hurting. Then he went to see his daughter.

Avery was already dressed up and ready to go to school. Her father greeted her and asked, “Sweetheart, did you sleep well?” Avery smiled and replied, “I slept well, thank you. Did you sleep well, Daddy?” her father told her that he slept well. He told her that he would take her to school. Avery was overjoyed. He kissed his daughter, and then he walked to his son’s room.

For the first time, Aiden was dressing himself up. His father hugged him and asked, “Did you sleep well, Son?” Aiden told his father that he didn’t sleep well because he was scared of thunder and lightning. He indicated that he would like to see his mother before he went to school. His father nodded his head, and he headed to the living room.

He greeted everyone and asked Clayton to follow him. They went to the servants’ quarters. August went to the bedroom. He found his wife sleeping but she had a fever. She was mumbling something in her sleep. August scooped her in his arms, and he asked one of the helpers, Hope Elliot, to come with them to the hospital.

Clayton drove them to the hospital as fast as possible. The attending doctor gave her medication and an IV drip. Mr Martins asked Hope Elliot to stay in the ward with Mrs Martins. He indicated that he promised to drop his daughter to school. He left the hospital with Clayton.

When he arrived home, he told his son that his mother was in hospital because she had a fever. He also told him that his mother had injured her arm. He indicated that his mother was attacking Avery and Bridgette protected her against her. Aiden wasn’t happy when he heard that his mother had been injured by a nanny. Then he took them to school.

He then went home to sort his aunt’s bed and clothing. When he arrived home, Aunt Rose was sitting in the living room. Tears were flowing down her face. August sat next to her and said, “Auntie, please don’t cry anymore. My heart aches if I see you crying like this.” Aunt Rose looked at her nephew and said, “August, please send me to the Old Aged home. I don’t want to come between you and your wife.”

August shook his head and replied, “Please don’t ever say that you want to go to the Old Aged home again. I would rather divorce Elizabeth than lose you. I am what I am today because of your guidance, Auntie. I don’t know how to repay the kindness you have contributed to my life. How can I choose someone who is as evil as Elizabeth over you?”

Aunt Rose smiled with tears in her eyes and replied, “You have been highly intelligent since you were young, my handsome nephew, and I am sure that you would have chosen a right path even without my guidance.”

August shook his head and said, “There are so many highly intelligent people in this world and some of them choose the wrong path because there was no one guiding them. Auntie, let’s go to the mall, I want to buy beautiful clothes for my stunning Aunt.”

Aunt Rose shook her head and replied, “There is no need, my nephew. Don’t worry about me.” August smiled and replied, “What happened to my fashionista Aunt? Let’s go to your favourite boutique, His Own Image, Joy might have something you like.” Aunt Rose’s eyes lit up and smiled brightly, “I wonder who introduced me to fashion.” August smiled broadly and replied, “I have no idea.”

August introduced his parents and his aunt to fashion. When he was eighteen years old, he took them to attend Paris Fashion Week. It was mind-blowing and eye-opening. From that day they fell in love with fashion.

He approached a talented young lady, Joy Dube, who was doing her 3rd year in Fashion design and invested in her work. She opened her boutique to showcase her elegant and unique style. She made her name in the Fashion Industry.

August sent a text message to Mrs Evans when his aunt was not looking and asked her to meet with them at His Own Image Boutique. Mr Martins walked to Bridgette’s room and knocked on the door. Bridgette opened the door and said, “Good morning, Uncle Martins are you looking for me?” Uncle Martins entered the room and sat on the sofa.

He looked at Bridgette and said, “I need your help, my heart is deeply hurt by my wife. She hired a housekeeper without my permission, and she moved her into my aunt’s room. All her clothes were thrown outside. I have sent your mother a text message to meet us at His Own Image Boutique; I just want her to cheer her up. Please ask your mother to invite Aunt Rose to your house for a couple of days.”

Bridgette promised that she would speak to her mother. Then Uncle Martins left Bridgette’s room and headed down to the living room. He waited for his aunt while she freshened up. She put on make-up to hide her haggard face. Then she approached her nephew smiling and said, “Let’s go.” Mr Martins asked Clayton to drive them to the mall.

When they arrived at the mall, they went to His Own Image Boutique. Aunt Rose’s eyes lit up when she saw her friend, Suzie Evans. They hugged each other. Aunt Rose said, “Long time no see, Suzie. You look stunning. Are you sure Bridgette is your daughter? You look like Bridgette’s older sister.”

Aunt Rose looked at her nephew lovingly and said, “August, you don’t have to accompany me anymore, I am in good hands.” August kissed Mrs Evans on both cheeks and mouthed thank you.

Suzie smiled brightly, she had a stunning figure, and she was beautiful. She looked at her friend and replied, “I am so happy to see you too, my friend. I heard that you went to His Goodness Resort, and you left me behind. I am so jealous. You look fresh and young. Did you enjoy yourself?”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Aunt Rose hugged her friend tightly and replied, “It was amazing, my dearest. Do you think your husband would allow you to leave him behind? If so, why don’t we have our own vacation? I want to go to Bali.” Suzie’s husband, Paul, was so clingy and he loved her so dearly. He wouldn’t allow his beloved wife to leave him behind.
