I Hope You Will Never Regret

A few hours later, her parents were wheeled into her ward. Tiffany was shocked when she saw her father on the hospital bed. She tried to go to her father’s bed, but her lower abdomen was too painful. She couldn’t move her body.

Mr Spencer sat on the bed and looked at his daughter with sadness in his eyes. He couldn’t believe his ears that his precious daughter had lied to them with a straight face.

After the surgery, Mrs Spencer was sent to her husband’s ward. He was shocked when he saw his beloved wife’s injury. She had a cast on her hand and her two ribs were broken.

Mrs Spencer told her husband about their daughter’s lies, but she didn’t tell him that it was Mrs Martins who deceived their daughter. Then Mr Spencer asked the nurses to move them to their daughter’s ward.

Tiffany looked at her father with eyes full of concern and asked, “Daddy, what happened to you?” Her father ignored her question and asked, “Tiffany, is it true that you met Jordan at the Bennet Group Celebration Party for the first time?”

Tiffany nodded her head and replied, “I am sorry, Daddy, for lying. Mrs Martins and Lily used me to protect the Martins family assets from Jordan. They didn’t tell me that Jordan was a pauper.”

Her father had a confused expression in his eyes and asked, “Is Mrs Martins behind this mess?” Tiffany nodded her head and replied, “Daddy, Mrs Martins, and Lilly gave me five million rands to break Jordan and Lily up.”

Mr Spencer looked at his daughter and asked, “Has Avery offended you in any way?” Tiffany shook her head and replied, “She hasn’t offended me, Daddy.

Then her father said, “I am confused, Tiffany. If she has never offended you before, why did you interfere in her relationship with Jordan?”

Tiffany was so ashamed of herself and replied, “I was giving a helping hand to my friend. I know now how naive I was. Please forgive me, Daddy.”

Mr Spencer looked at his daughter and said, “I don’t understand, Tiffany. What do you mean if you say you were giving a helping hand to your friend? Did Avery snatch Jordan from Lily?”

Tiffany shook her head and replied, “No. Lily told me that Avery was snatching everyone close to her, and she wanted to teach her a lesson. Hence, I agreed to help her.”

Mr Spencer was dumbfounded and asked, “You told everyone at the wedding ceremony that you had never loved Jordan.

Please explain this to me. Was sleeping with Jordan and getting pregnant before wedlock part of the deal? Since when did you become a street worker, Tiffany?”

Tiffany cried when she heard her father’s words. She looked at her mother for help, but she ignored her. She was in so much pain because her daughter brought the Bennet family into their lives.

Tiffany wiped her tears and replied, “No, it wasn’t part of the deal, Daddy. I thought I would learn to love him. However, when I heard that the Bennet Group was founded by Avery, I felt that our love was based on lies.”

Mr Spencer shook his head and asked, “Do you know that Avery dated Jordan for five years but when she married Xavier, she was still a virgin?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Tiffany was dumbfounded when she heard her father’s words. She thought Jordan was messing with her. She nodded her head and replied, “I am not surprised because Jordan didn’t love Avery, Daddy.”

Her father looked at her with sadness in his eyes and said, “You are missing the point, Tiffany. Jordan didn’t touch Avery because of respect. Also, it is not true that Jordan didn’t love Avery, he felt inferior to her because of her family wealth.

When he saw you, he thought you were on the same level. Hence, he didn’t treat you the way he treated Avery. I am so disappointed in you, Tiffany. I never thought that one day your actions would put the Spencer Group on its knees.

After we left the Durban Civic Centre, your mother insulted young Mrs Taylor. As a result, the Taylor family stood behind her and terminated our partnership.

Jordan was not our favourite son-in-law, but we accommodated him because of you. You told us that you fell in love with him at first sight. Your mother and I always put your happiness first. Unbeknownst to us, you will play us like fools.

To teach you a lesson, you have to keep the baby as a reminder of your foolishness. Today, your mother is injured because you brought the Bennet family into our lives.

You are such a disgrace, and you are no longer my daughter. After you are discharged, please move to the Martins residence. I will never forgive you for the pain you have put us through. You are dead to me.”

Then he pressed the bell beside his bed. A nurse came to the ward and asked, “May I help you, Mr Spencer.” Mr Spencer nodded his head and replied, “Please move me to my ward.” The nurse quickly pushed his bed out of the ward.

Tiffany cried sorrowfully for a long time, but her mother didn’t even comfort her. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, “Mommy, I am sorry for letting you down.

It wasn’t my intention to hurt you. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.” Her mother looked at her coldly and replied, “Tiffany, since you were young, I taught you to fear the Lord and to respect others.

We have showered you with nothing but love. However, what did we get in return? You colluded with Elizabeth to destroy her daughter’s relationship behind my back.

What if Avery killed herself when she was dumped by Jordan? How would you live your life with her blood in your hands? Before you agreed to break them up, did you think about the consequences?

I couldn’t believe that you had destroyed someone else’s relationship for money, and you forced yourself to sleep with someone you didn’t love. Did you think about your father’s reputation? Did you think about my feelings when I found out?

I don’t want to lie to you, Tiffany. I am scared of you and I will not be comfortable being in the same room with you. You are no longer the child I gave birth to.”

Before Tiffany could respond, her mother rang the bell, and a nurse entered the ward. Then she moved her to her husband’s ward. She didn’t want to be in the same room with her daughter, she was scared that she might beat her up.

Tiffany was overwhelmed with bitterness. She had been abandoned by the people she loved the most. The hatred towards Mrs Martins and Lily was deep, and she vowed that one day she would avenge herself.

A few hours later, Tiffany took her phone and dialed Mrs Martins’ number. When it was connected, she said, “Aunt Elizabeth, my family disowned me because of you.

Please prepare a place for me to stay, or I will move to the Martins residence. Should you fail to fulfill my request, I will go to the newspapers. I heard that Avery’s best friend is a journalist.

I believe she will be over the moon to write a story about your viciousness. I will also drag your precious niece down with me.” Then she hung up the phone.

Mrs Martins started panicking. She was scared of Mrs Spencer’s wrath. Also, she was scared of her husband finding out about her involvement in breaking up Jordan and Avery. She had to divorce her husband as soon as possible.
