I Hope You Will Never Regret

He looked at his sister with sadness and said, “Elizabeth, your sister-in-law visited her friend, Mia, in Australia without my permission. I don’t know what to do. Should I go to Australia to fetch her, or should I divorce her? What do you think?”

Elizabeth was so happy to hear that and replied smiling, “Why did you marry her in the first place, since I was against you marrying her? She doesn’t deserve you. I think it would be great if you divorced her and fought for my niece’s custody.”

Edwin couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes. He looked at his sister with questioning eyes and said, “Elizabeth, did you hurt your daughter on purpose because you wanted to stop us from attending the wedding?”

Elizabeth looked at her brother and replied, “My brother is so smart. Of course, do you think I will allow you to waste our money with her? Do you think I married August for love? I wanted us to have a comfortable life. I warned you against marrying Cathy, but you didn’t listen. I don’t even see what is good about her.”

For the first time, Edwin realized how foolish he was by ignoring his precious wife’s feelings. His beloved sister played him like a fiddle. He thanked the Lord for opening his eyes before it was too late. It was clear to him that his sister wanted to control him.

He was conflicted in his heart and said, “I am so disappointed in you, Elizabeth. How could you scheme against your own brother? I have been nothing but supportive to you. My wife sacrificed a lot to be with me. She resigned from her job that she loved the most because of me. Is this how you thank me for being there for you when you needed me?”

Elizabeth knew that she was wrong, but she couldn’t help it. She didn’t want to share her brother with anyone else. In fact, she wanted him to move to Durban, but her husband asked him to oversee the Richards Bay hotel. Hence, they moved here. Her husband messed up her plans.

Elizabeth looked at her brother with tears in her eyes and replied, “Big brother, I am sorry if I overstepped my boundaries. You are the only relative I have. I couldn’t stand still and waited for Cathy to steal you away from me. So, I have to do something to stop her.”

He was really a fool for trusting that his sister had good intentions for his family. His beloved wife was threatening to divorce him because she lost faith in him. He felt that if he failed to change, he would lose his lovely wife.

He was angry with himself for failing to see through his sister’s selfishness. His sister had a black heart. She was heartless and evil. He decided to test his sister. He feigned sadness. His eyes turned red, and his voice was shaking.

He looked at his sister with sadness in his eyes and said, “Elizabeth, I don’t want to lie to you, you have hurt me so deeply. My wife left me because I failed to appreciate her. I allowed you to control our marriage. I hope you are happy now that I am going to be divorced.”

Elizabeth was over the moon. She wanted to rush to her brother and hug him, but she restrained herself. It was the best news ever. Finally, he got rid of the gold digger. She smiled brightly and said, “I am so happy for you big brother, no one will ever come between us. I will find a good lawyer to fight for my niece’s full custody.”

Edwin couldn’t look at his sister’s eyes, anger and self-blame were suffocating him. He couldn’t breathe. He closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were icy cold and said, “Elizabeth, who do you think you are? Where did you get confidence from to meddle in my private affairs? Besides beauty, what else can you show?”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She blinked her beautiful eyes, but she didn’t utter a word. Her brother changed into a different person. She was really frightened. She was reminded of two slaps her brother gave to her at the Martins residence. What if her brother beat her up again? Who’s going to help her?

Her brother’s face was dark, and he said, “Elizabeth, listen to me carefully because I am not going to repeat myself again. If you ever meddle in my private affairs again, I will cut all ties with you. Also, if you ever hurt my niece again, I will take you to the police station with my own hands. Why did you marry Mr Martins? Did you take him as your ticket to a soft life? What is the difference between you and the street worker?”

Elizabeth was so shocked she opened her eyes wide when she heard her brother compare her to a street worker. Edwin narrowed his eyes and said, “I am tired of your nonsense. Tomorrow morning, I will take you back to your husband. Be a good wife or divorce him. Do you hear me?”

Elizabeth nodded her head; her heart was thumping so hard against her chest. Her brother’s words shook her. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came forth. Her beloved brother gave her a scare. She decided to leave her brother’s house and go back to her hotel.

When she arrived at the hotel, she sat down on her bed. She didn’t see anything wrong with meddling in her brother’s affairs. Her brother was the most precious person in her heart, and no one could take his place in her heart. Her brother’s wife became an eyesore. Hence, she wanted to get rid of her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After her brother’s warning, it was clear to her that she had been replaced by Cathy and it was hurting. However, he knew that she would not be able to touch her because she was protected by her brother. Her heart became bitter.

She always thought that the person she hated the most was her daughter, Avery. Unbeknownst to her, Cathy was on top of the list. She hated her with passion for stealing her beloved brother away from her. Would Elizabeth stop abusing her daughter, Avery?
