I Hope You Will Never Regret

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go back home for Edwin and his wife. Paris was beautiful; they visited so many places and tasted different delicious food. However, there is no place like home.

Edwin took his beautiful wife in his arms and said, “Sweetheart, I will treasure our beautiful memories deep in my heart. Thank you for being my wife and I love you so much. Thank you for not giving up on me when I wasn’t a good husband to you.”

Cathy had tears in her eyes and replied, “I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing you to choose me to be your wife. You are such a beautiful soul, and I don’t have a doubt in my mind that you are my destiny. I love you more, my handsome husband.” She hugged her husband tightly.

Her husband looked at her and asked, “What is the matter, my love?” Cathy smiled and replied, “I can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. However, I will be happy to enter the pearly gates with you beside me.”

Her husband hugged her tightly and replied, “That is my prayer, and my soul will not rest in peace if I leave you and Lily behind. My sister has a way of turning beautiful things into evil.

We raised Lily to fear the Lord, but because of her aunt’s influence, she turned a deaf ear to our teachings. I don’t even recognize my daughter anymore; she has become someone else.”

Cathy sighed; she wouldn’t be able to rest in peace should Elizabeth raise their daughter. She would ask Mia to adopt her daughter when they were no more. She understood that it would be difficult because Elizabeth was her only relative and she loved her.

She looked at her husband and asked, “Honey, how would you feel if I asked Mia to be our daughter’s guardian should something happen to us? I don’t trust your sister that she will be able to raise our daughter well. I think she will use our daughter to fight my niece.”

Edwin looked at his wife with questioning eyes. Cathy hugged her husband tightly; her eyes were brimming with tears. She had a hunch that they would never see their daughter again.

Edwin looked at his wife’s red eyes and said, “My beautiful wife, nothing is going to happen to us. We will grow old together and the Lord will bless us with beautiful grandchildren. However, should something happen to us, I support you 100%.”

Cathy smiled brightly at her husband, and then she took her phone and dialed a number. When it was connected, she said, “Hello Mia, are you well?” Mia smiled and replied, “Hello my beautiful sister, we are well. Thank you. How are you doing?”

Cathy hugged her husband and replied, “We are well too, thank you. Mia, I have a request. If something happens to us, please be our daughter’s guardian.” Mia was dumbfounded and said, “Please don’t scare me, Cathy. What is wrong?”

Cathy laughed out loud and replied, “Don’t be scared, I am just asking in passing.” Mia replied, “It will be an honour my dearest sister. I know that the Lord will keep you safe until you see your grandchildren. Soon Lily will see her aunt’s true colours.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Cathy smiled and replied, “Thank you so much my dearest sis, I know that it will be difficult since Elizabeth is her immediate family. Please promise me that you will fight for Lily.” Mia was so scared, and she asked again, “Honey, what is wrong?”

Cathy smiled and replied, “Nothing. Promise me, Mia.” Mia promised her that she would fight for Lily. Mia felt that Cathy was hiding something from her and asked, “Cathy, are you sick?” Cathy told her that she wasn’t sick.

Cathy smiled brightly and said, “Mia, our flight is leaving at 5 pm, please pray for us. I love you so much. Send my regards to Brad and my nephews. Please don’t forget your promise.” Then they hung up.

Cathy wrote in her diary that they had chosen Mia to be their daughter’s guardian. She then signed her name and asked her husband to sign his name as well. Her husband was puzzled by his wife’s behaviour but he didn’t utter a word.

Shortly afterwards, Cathy called the Prince family and thanked them for being there for her when she lost her parents. Finally, she called her daughter, but it didn’t go through. She tried several times to no avail. She was so sad in her heart that she would go to heaven without saying goodbye to her daughter.

At 3 pm, they boarded Air SA. Mr Martins had upgraded their seats from economy to first class. Cathy looked at her husband and said, “Honey, I have been trying to call our daughter, but she is not picking up her phone. Do you mind calling her?”

Edwin took his phone and called his daughter, but it went straight to voicemail. He tried several times to no avail. “I think she has blocked us, my love. I will call my brother-in-law and find out where she is.”

Edwin quickly dialed his brother-in-law and said, “Hello brother-in-law, I have been trying to reach Lily to no avail. Do you know if there is a problem with her phone?”

August replied, “Hello brother-in-law, I don’t think there is something wrong with Lily’s phone. I heard that she deleted her mother’s text message without reading it because you refused to buy her a private jet. Lily’s behaviour was appalling. She was disrespectful and rude. I asked Lily to go back home with her aunt to write her June exams.

Before she left, she told us that she would never set foot in our house because she hates Avery. Her aunt indicated that she refused to come back with her.

She is currently staying at the Ebenezer hotel.” Edwin was so disappointed when he heard his brother-in-law’s words. Then they hung up.

Edwin shook his head and said to his wife, “My wife, I am so disappointed in Lily. She went back home to write her June exams and she refused to go back with her aunt. Our daughter told August that she would never set foot at the Martins mansion because she hated Avery.”

Cathy’s eyes were brimming with tears and said, “Hubby, please call the hotel manager, I want to speak to Lily.” Edwin quickly called the hotel manager and asked him to pass the phone to Lily. Then he put a phone on speaker.

When the manager passed the phone to Lily, she refused to speak with her parents. She shouted that she wished that they would never come back because they abandoned her. They also went to Paris without telling her, but they told Avery. The hotel manager was so shocked when he heard Lily’s words.

Cathy was crying sorrowfully, she wanted to say goodbye to her daughter. Her husband took her in his arms and comforted her. Edwin’s heart was overwhelmed with bitterness. One day his sister would reap what she sowed. Unbeknownst to Lily, her words would become a prophesy and she would never see her parents again.
