Biggest Regret In Life Novels & Stories

"If that would ease your hatred and make you spare my dad... then I will." He stood, his face softening as he looked at me. "Rea, if I had one thing in life that made me truly happy, it was you. My biggest regret is letting you go. If there's a next life, I'd want to meet you, love you quietly, grow old together." The words hung in the silence as he turned and walked to the door.

I feel weird just walking like this, having to be dependent on Roman, who normally walks in large strides but surprisingly today, he's walking in a much slower pace, making it easier to follow his lead, though the feel of eyes is quite unnerving. Along the way, something burns at me to speak out but I try hold back. I open and close my mouth, words not coming out. "What is it?" He asks. Didn't think he noticed. " I forgot to ask you something last night." "Okay." He says next to me. "What's your biggest regret, in these past......years." I trail off when he pulls us to a stop. I feel him look at me as he says his next words. "My biggest regret is leaving my best friend the way I did, instead

He crossed his arms and leaned toward me. "Let’s say you had a car accident and lost your life today. What’s the one thing you would regret?" His words struck my chest so hard that I felt a pang of pain. I couldn’t breathe for a moment. My eyes flashed with confusion. I had never really thought that hard about things. I always thought there was time. But if I really did die today, what was the one thing I would regret? "Why would I have any regrets? As of now, I'm living my best life. What could possibly make me feel that way?"

Regret is a terrible thing. I used to believe I’d never do something so awful that I’d spend the rest of my life regretting it. But that’s not true. As much as I wish it were, it never will be. My single greatest regret is having gone for that walk. You don’t realize how good it feels to not be in pain until pain is all you feel. Yet despite the anesthetics numbing my back and the heavy burn on my chest, it’s not enough.

I looked at him and I suddenly felt that the house was too small for the two of us as I shifted from one foot to another, looking so awkward that I prayed for the floor to swallow me. “There are so many things in life that I regret,” he said as he stopped between my opened door and looked at me. “And so many times when I wanted to turn back time. But life isn’t like that. You can’t press rewind to go back in time and correct all the things you did wrong, nor can you fast forward it to know the future. All you have is this moment. And only one life. I just hope that you aren’t making any mistakes that you’ll regret later on. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned. Life’s a bitch. And you j

He said quietly. I blinked. “I made the biggest mistake five years ago, and I have spent every day regretting it. I finally realized how stupid I was. You are the woman I love... the woman I should have been with all along. Staying with Tamara because I felt indebted to her was the biggest mistake of my life.” His voice softened. “I know I hurt you, and I can't change the past, but I want the chance to make up for everything I put you through.”

"I went to see her once. She was living in a damp little rental apartment. She barely looked human anymore." Glen took another sip before continuing. "She told me the thing she regrets most isn't cheating. And it's not even choosing the wrong person at the wedding. "What she regrets most is comforting Vince back then for the sake of love…and then abandoning him later for the sake of her own interests. "She said she tried to hold on to both sides, but in the end, both men hated her. She ended up being the biggest joke of all." I gave a small, crooked smile. That did sound exactly like something Natasha would say.

For the first time in his life, Chris Newton was left with nothing left to control. And the worst part is- "He finally understood what his biggest regret had been." It wasn't losing Lilian. It was that he never noticed the monster he was beside until too late.

Bigger than our feelings. The silence that followed was heavy and final. Liliana looked at the man she had loved so blindly, the man she had thought was her other half. She no longer saw her husband. She saw a CEO. A guardian of a legacy. “You’re right,” she said, her voice now eerily calm, a terrifying quiet. “It is bigger than my feelings. And I can no longer live in the shadow of something so large.” She turned and walked steadily to her closet. She didn’t reach for a designer handbag or a jewelry box. She pulled an old canvas backpack from the top shelf, the one she had carried when she first came to this city.

Letting out a deep sigh, he leaned back into the sofa, relaxing into it as he stared at her. "Of course I was. Who wouldn't?" He asked rhetorically and chuckled. He continued. "It was the worst kind of pain I had ever felt back then. I couldn't even believe it, it felt like an impossible dream." Vicky felt something inside her break, she remembered the day she had left with Matthew Lee, she couldn't stop crying for days. She kept thinking about Romeo, regretting her decision every single day. Romeo smiled. "But, that was years ago, it took quite some time, true, but I've healed completely, it's like the scar was never there."
