I Hope You Will Never Regret

On Monday morning, Mr Bennet and his son, Jordan went to court to attend his wife’s trial for attempted murder.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Jordan begged Tiffany to withdraw the charges to no avail. Since the Bennet family couldn’t afford to hire an attorney, the judge appointed an attorney for her.

After the closing arguments from the plaintiff’s attorney and defendant’s attorney, Judge Harris found Mrs Bennet guilty and sentenced her to twenty years in prison with parole. The Bennet family couldn’t believe their ears.

Mr Bennet and his son, Jordan, went home with heavy hearts. Jordan was blaming himself for choosing Tiffany Spencer over the woman who had loved him the most, Avery Martins.

When they arrived home, Jordan went straight to his bedroom to rest. He had sent resumes to many companies, but no one was willing to hire him.

When his father heard that the Martins Group was hiring people to build the laboratory, he woke up early in the morning and went to the construction site.

However, the Construction Director hired people who had experience in construction. He went back home dejectedly. There was no one working in the family, and they lived a miserable life without Mrs Bennet.

Jordan was resting on his bed when his phone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID, it was an unknown number. He hesitated, but he decided to answer the call and said, “Hello.”

The caller replied, “Hello, Mr Bennet. You are speaking to Sydney Zwane, Executive Secretary of MEC Daniel Mzizi. He would like to have a meeting with you today at 3 pm regarding the stadium project.”

Jordan was dumbfounded because he didn’t have Construction Machinery or Construction workers to complete the job. He promised that he would be there on time. He took a quick shower and wore a black suit.

Jordan knocked on his father’s bedroom door. His father said, “Come in.” His father’s heart was broken. He missed his wife so much.

Jordan looked at his father and said, “Dad, I am having a meeting with the Sports and Recreation MEC regarding the stadium project. I don’t know where I going to get the funds from to finish the stadium project.”

His father tried to comfort him and replied, “Son, don’t lose hope. Help will come.” Jordan shook his head and said, “Dad, I messed up big time. I fell in love with the wrong woman who was on a mission to destroy this family.

Please forgive me for the pain I put you through. I will visit my mother in prison tomorrow to ask for her forgiveness.” Jordan felt like crying, he never thought it would end up like that.

He bid his father goodbye, and then he went to the taxi rank. He arrived at the Sports and Recreation offices at 2:45. He was ushered to MEC Mzizi’s office. Executive Secretary Zwane smiled at him and said, “Please take a seat.”

MEC Mzizi looked at Jordan and said, “Mr Bennet, it has come to my attention that you have abandoned the stadium project.

I was told that at the construction site, there were no Construction workers or Construction Machinery. What is going on?”

Jordan didn’t know where to start. He mustered his courage and replied, “MEC Mzizi, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for failing to fulfill my obligation.

The Construction Machinery and the Construction Workers belonged to the Martins Group. However, CEO Martins took them back before we completed the project.”

MEC Mzizi was aware of Mr Bennet and CEO Martins’ daughter’s failed relationship. He looked at him and said, “I will give you three months to buy the Construction Machinery and to recruit the Construction workers or to pay back the taxpayer’s money.”

Jordan was dumbfounded and replied, “My apologies, MEC Mzizi. I would not be able to finish the stadium project. Also, I don’t have money in my bank account to pay back the taxpayer’s money.”

MEC Mzizi looked at him and said coldly, “Mr Bennet, I am just informing you, not asking for your opinion.

Should you fail to pay back the taxpayer’s money in three months, I will have to report you to the police and open a case of theft. Please leave.”

Jordan became scared when he heard the MEC mentioning the police. It was clear to him that should he fail to fulfill his obligation he would end up in jail like his mother.

He decided to go to the Taylor Private Hospital to see Avery. He took a taxi to the hospital. Outside the hospital, there was a flower shop. He bought the bouquet of roses, then he went to Avery’s office.

Jordan knocked on Avery’s office. Fortunately, she was in the office with her bodyguard, Portia. Portia smiled brightly when she saw a handsome young man and asked, “Good day, Sir. How may I help you?”

Jordan smiled and replied, “Good day, Miss. I am looking for Miss Martins. Is she available?” Portia opened the door wide and said, “Mrs Taylor, this gentleman is looking for you.”

Avery furrowed her brows when she saw Jordan and asked, “How may I help you, Mr Bennet?” Jordan didn’t like the way Avery was addressing him and asked, “Avery, may I talk to you in private?”

Portia smiled and said, “I am going outside to call Wayne.” Then she left Avery and Jordan in the office.

Avery glared coldly at Jordan and asked, “What are you doing here, Mr Bennet?” Jordan looked at Avery and replied, “Avery, I want to take this opportunity to ask for forgiveness.

I am sorry for every pain I put you through. I allowed Tiffany Spencer to come between us. Please forgive me.”

Avery looked at him and replied, “Apology accepted. If you can excuse me, I have matters to attend to.” Jordan was dumbfounded when he heard Avery’s words. It was clear to him that Avery didn’t want to talk to him.

At that moment, Avery’s phone started ringing. When she saw a caller ID she smiled sweetly and said, “Hello my handsome husband, are you well?”

Xavier smiled and replied, “Hello my stunning wife, I am well. Thank you. How are you?” Avery smiled and replied, “I am well, my love. I miss you a lot.”

Xavier smiled broadly and said, “I miss you more, Sweetheart. I just wanted to hear your voice.” Avery smiled sweetly and replied, “I am glad, my love. Mr Bennet dropped by to ask for forgiveness and I accepted his apologies.”

Xavier smiled and said, “I heard that he had a meeting with the MEC regarding the abandoned stadium project.

Maybe he wanted to ask you to lend him the Construction Machinery and the Martins Group Construction workers.”

Avery giggled and replied, “That will never happen even in his dreams, my handsome husband.” Then they hung up the phone.

Avery was shocked to see that Jordan was still in her office. She looked at him and asked, “Is there anything else, Mr Bennet?”

Jordan handed a bouquet of roses to Avery and said, “This is for you, Avery.” She looked at him with a confused expression and replied, “I am sorry, Mr Bennet, I am allergic to roses.”

Avery didn’t give Jordan time to say anything. She stood up and said, “I am late for the meeting. Please leave, Mr Bennet.” She took her diary and walked to the door. Jordan followed behind her dejectedly.
