I Hope You Will Never Regret

Jordan stayed in his car outside Avery’s apartment for two hours. He wasn’t brave enough to face Mr Martins again. His phone was ringing nonstop. He took his phone from his suit jacket and put the phone on vibration.

He was surprised to see twenty missed calls. All the calls were from Tiffany. He didn’t know what to say to her. He decided to ignore her calls. He had lost everything.

He drove his car to his family mansion. His parents were in the living room watching the news. His mother was over the moon when he saw her son. She looked at him and said, “What is the matter, my dearest Son?”

Tears streamed down Jordan’s face. His mother was so shocked she hugged her son and asked, “Who made you angry? Tell Mom I will fight for you.” Jordan wiped his tears and replied, “I lost everything, Mom.”

Mr Bennet looked at his son and said, “What are you talking about Jordan?” Jordan looked at his mother and said, “Mom, do you remember that girl who approached us at the Celebration Party?”

Her mother nodded her head and said, “Yes, I remember her. I told her that she would never be my daughter-in-law. Is she still pestering you?”

Jordan shook his head and replied, “She was my girlfriend for five years. After graduation, she asked her father to help me. Her father gave me a loan of ten billion rand to establish my company.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He also lent me five thousand skilled construction workers and the Construction Machinery.

At that time, the Martins Group had won the airport tender. Her father gave that tender to me as well. Yesterday, I broke up with her, then her father took everything back. I don’t know how I am going to finish the stadium.”

His father slapped him hard across the face and said, “I am so disappointed in you. Didn’t you tell me that Mr Martins liked your business proposal and invested in your company?”

Jordan looked down and replied, “I am sorry Dad for not telling you the truth. Please forgive me.”

His mother looked at her husband coldly and said, “Don’t worry son, I will go to Miss Martins’ house and plead with her to ask her father to forgive you. Let’s go.”

Jordan and his mother left the house, and they drove to Avery’s apartment. When they arrived, Jordan stayed in his car.

Mrs Bennet knocked at the door and Mr Martins opened the door, but he didn’t invite her in. He looked at her and asked, “May I help you?”

Mrs Bennet smiled and replied, “Good morning Mr Martins, my name is Tess Bennet. I am looking for Miss Martins.”

Mr Martins sneered, “Mrs Bennet, are you lost? Are you not supposed to be at Tiffany Spencer’s mansion? My daughter is not receiving any visitors at the moment. If you excuse me, I am comforting my daughter. Bye.”

He slammed the door in her face. Then he went to the study room to continue with his work. Mrs Bennet felt humiliated, but there was nothing she could do. She walked slowly back to the car.

Jordan was surprised to see his mother so quickly and asked, “Did Mr Martins allow you to see Avery?”

His mother shook her head and replied, “Her father told me that his daughter is not receiving any visitors at the moment. Why don’t you ask your father-in-law to help you?”

Jordan told his mother that he was ashamed to ask for help from his father-in-law and replied, “I haven’t told Tiffany yet, and I am scared that she will break up with me because my company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

My company’s bank balance is zero. I still owe Mr Martins a few billion rand. I also owe the building material suppliers.

They gave me the materials without paying a cent. I don’t know what to do, Mom. I don’t even have money to pay my employees’ salaries.”

His mother patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t despair my son, I will speak to Mrs Spencer. Maybe they will give you money to buy Construction Machinery.”

Jordan shook his head and replied, “It will not be enough, Mom. I don’t have construction workers. The Bennet Group has only two hundred workers. I need to hire more than five thousand workers.”

Mrs Bennet was so sad for her son and said, “Let’s go back home.” Jordan drove his car back home.

On the way, he heard from the radio that the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Nokubonga Zulu, would be at the Everlasting studio to announce the winner of the Spaghetti Junction Project at 12 pm.

Jordan’s eyes lit up and said, “Mom, maybe if I collaborate with the winner, I will be able to finish the stadium project.” His mother looked at her son and asked, “Why didn’t you bid for the Spaghetti Junction Project because I heard that it is huge?”

Jordan didn’t want to lie to his mother and replied, “Mom, all the tenders that we had won previously were because of Avery. After the Celebration Party, I ignored her. So, when I asked her to write a tender proposal for me, she refused.”

Mrs Bennet was regretting the way she spoke to Avery during the Celebration Party. It was clear to her that her son was nothing without Avery.

Mrs Bennet looked at her son and asked, “Is the Martins family very rich?” Jordan replied, “The Martins family is second to the Taylor family. If Avery can start her company, I think they will surpass them. She is highly intelligent, Mom.”

His mother was shocked to hear that. She was cursing herself for being blind. She was supposed to investigate the girl before she ran her mouth wide. She looked at her son and asked, “Is Miss Martins still at school?”

Jordan shook his head and replied, “Avery is the best Neurosurgeon at Taylor Private Hospital. She completed her Medicine degree within three years.”

Her mother couldn’t believe her ears, she was blind. Why did her beloved son break up with such an intelligent woman?
