I Hope You Will Never Regret

Two hours later, Aiden parked his car at his mother’s mansion. The door was slightly opened, then he walked into the living room. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his mother sitting on someone else’s lap wearing revealing clothes.

Aiden was so angry he rushed to his mother and took her in his arms. Then he walked to his mother’s lover and started punching him in the face. He was hitting him pretty hard and painfully.

Jamie was taken aback, but he didn’t fight back to gain sympathy from his lover. His arms were up trying to shield his handsome face. Aiden hit him hard in the ribs and stomach. He threw up all the food he had eaten. He was in a sorry state.

Aiden was fuming with anger and his blows were intense and fast. Elizabeth was so scared of Jamie’s life. She threw herself in Jamie’s body trying to shield him from a tsunami of intense blows.

Tears streamed down Elizabeth’s face and said, “Stop it, Aiden. You are going to kill him.”

Three years ago, Aiden started taking Taekwondo classes to defend himself from his sister, Avery, when necessary. He looked at his mother coldly and asked, “Mom, who is this?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her mother ignored him, ran to the medicine cabinet, and returned with a first aid kit. Jamie’s nose was bleeding, and his right eye was swollen and closed. He had a cut under his left eye.

Elizabeth was overwhelmed with bitterness. Her lover was in so much pain, inflicted by her son. She would never forgive Aiden for harming her beloved man.

Aiden dragged his mother away from her lover and asked, “Mom, who is this?” His mother was so furious she shook his arm and replied, “He is my lover, Aiden. You don’t have a right to budge into my house and bully my man.”

When Avery told him about his mother’s lover, Aiden thought his sister was spouting nonsense. The reality of his mother’s words hit him hard. How could he didn’t listen to his sister?

Then Elizabeth knelt in front of Jamie and wiped the blood on his face. She looked at Jamie with concern and asked, “Honey, do you want me to take you to the hospital?”

Jamie smiled gently at his lover and replied, “Just blow it, and it will stop hurting. I think it will be best for everyone if we break up. I don’t want what happened today to happen again. I might not restrain myself and end up hurting your son.”

Elizabeth felt like crying, she was about to lose the love of her life because of Aiden. She kissed her lover on the face and replied, “No, my love. You are going nowhere but Aiden is leaving.”

She turned to Aiden and slapped him hard across the face. She looked at him viciously and said, “Please leave and never come back to this house while I am still alive. Don’t even come to my funeral. You are no longer my son.”

Aiden was taken aback by his mother’s cruel words. He couldn’t believe his ears. He severed ties with his sister because he was defending his mother’s dignity. Also, he was rude to his father because he thought Avery was lying.

He stood in the living room looking at his mother with sorrow in his eyes. His mother’s cruel words hurt him deeply. Why did his mother give birth to them because it was clear to him that she had never loved them?

Aiden walked out of the mansion without uttering a word to his mother. He vowed that he would never love his mother again. Also, he would never step foot in the Martins mansion while his mother was still alive.

In the driveway, he met Lily who was taking shopping bags from her car. She had shopping bags in both hands. She smiled and shouted, “Aiden, don’t you see that my shopping bags are heavy? Don’t just stand there, come and help me.”

Something snapped in Aiden’s heart, then he approached Lily step by step. Lily became scared and took a few steps back. She dropped her shopping bags and started running in her seven-inch stilettos.

Aiden gritted his teeth and asked, “Did you set up my mother with that playboy?” Lily was so scared, but she mustered up courage and replied, “So, what? My aunt deserves to be happy. I decided to find someone young to date her.”

Lily thought her aunt and her lover would help her should Aiden beat her up. Aiden slapped Lily hard across the face. He used a lot of strength. Lily fell on the paved driveway. She felt an excruciating pain in her ankle when she fell.

Aiden was not done with her; he yanked her hair and slapped her twice. Lily’s face was burning, and it swelled immediately. Tears were streaming down Lily’s face.

Aiden looked at his cousin coldly and said, “One day you will pay for destroying my family. I will make sure that you rot in jail where you belong. You are evil like your aunt.” Aiden took the handkerchief from his pants and wiped his hands.

Lily sat on the driveway crying but no one came to help her. Elizabeth was busy treating her lover’s injury. She wanted to take Jamie to the hospital, but he refused. What if Elizabeth met his other lovers? He couldn’t risk it.

Aiden walked to his car and drove his car to his mansion with a heavy heart. His hatred towards Lily was deep. The love he had for his mother turned to hatred. He had lost the whole family in one single day. His heart became bitter.

Lily left her shopping bags outside and hobbled into the house. She became upset when she didn’t find her aunt in the living room. It was clear to her that her aunt and Jamie were in the bedroom when she was being assaulted.

She went to the medicine cabinet to get the swelling ointment, but the first aid kit was not there. Then she decided to go to her aunt’s bedroom. She shouted, “Auntie, where did you place the first aid kit?”

Her aunt opened the door annoyed and asked, “Why are you making so much noise, Lily? Jamie is sleeping.” She didn’t even ask her about her injury.

Lily looked at her aunt and said, crying, “Auntie, I am hurt, but you don’t even ask me what happened. What happened to my kind-hearted aunt?”

Aunt Elizabeth looked at her niece annoyed and replied, “Lily, not everything revolves around you. Take the first aid kit and go back to your room. I am tired of you always playing a victim.”

Lily took the first aid kit and went to her room crying. She regretted introducing Jamie to her beloved aunt. Jamie replaced her in her aunt’s heart.

When Aiden arrived at his mansion, he sat in the living room and cried for a long time. He had invested a lot of love in his mother, but he didn’t get his return. He decided to block his mother and Lily’s phone numbers.

Aiden knew that he was supposed to apologize to his father and sister, but he couldn’t muster up the courage to do so. He went straight to bed with his clothes on.
