Broken Oath: I Left, He Regretted Novels & Stories

When I was five, my elder sister, Mabel, lost the use of both legs saving me in a car accident. From that day on, there was one thing my parents said to me more than anything else. “You ruined Mabel’s life.” When I got into a top university, Mabel locked herself in her room and cried all night. My mother, eyes red from crying, tore my acceptance letter to pieces. “Wait until Mabel can walk again. Then you can go to college.” So I spent sixteen hours a day delivering food, saving every penny for Mabel’s rehabilitation. When my stomach pain became so bad I could barely stand, my parents accused me of being jealous of Mabel’s nutritional supplements and faking it for attention. I secret

I wasn’t the center of his storm—just one part of a much bigger mess. I nodded slowly, biting down on the sob building in my throat. “I know.” And somehow, that made it harder to leave. But I had to. There was no fixing what I’d broken between us. Not now. I gave him a trembling smile—one that carried all the regret I couldn’t put into words, and all the love I could never fully express. Then I turned and walked away. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. But I felt him there behind me, his presence like a fading warmth against the cold I’d brought on myself.

“And only after that, I had made the biggest mistake of my life by pushing you away." I gasped at his words, sincere and heartfelt coming from his lips. There was do doubt as the regret and pain in his voice said everything. “There are no excuses for me. I was horrible. A bastard. A jerk. I don't deserve to be in your presence for even a single moment.” “Yet I would always love you, no matter what, and if the mate bond is broken and you leave, I would forever loathe myself for the actions I made, the pain I had caused you."

“I swear you're going to regret this, Habbab, your heart will break when you see that I'll never be yours again.” I shrink on the cold earth; I look up searching for him... He's gone, he's gone, leaving my heart broken into a million pieces. He's left me stranded like trash; I'll never forgive him.

She had the care of the best private doctors of the Colombo family there. All I could do was stand where I was as I watched him walk away. I suddenly burst out laughing as tears streamed down my face. "I don't believe you anymore…" I said softly into the air. Those words were also a reminder to myself, as I had given up on him. "I'll never believe any of your promises again, Adrian."

That was when he did the unthinkable adding, formally, “I, Liam Marchant of the Wide River pack reject you, Jessica Haines … ” “You can’t!” she cried, crumpling in a heap at his feet. “Name your pack,” he snarled, even though the snapping of the mate bond hurt like hell. “Red Moon,” she gasped. That probably explained the gown. He completed the ritual wording, before saying, softly, “I’m sorry. There’s someone else in my life.” Then he sought out Theo and told him moodily that they were leaving early. His one regret was that he didn’t get chance to say goodbye to Ida or even exchange cellphone numbers.

Caleb's finger had been cut by the metal edge of the gift box, and blood was seeping out. But he seemed to feel no pain, just staring blankly at my ring. "Uncle… he treats you very well," Caleb murmured, his voice thick. "Cliff roses, pink diamond rings, moonstone necklaces…" "He gives you everything I couldn't." I was silent for a moment, not quite understanding the depth of his regret. "Caleb, you chose to refuse two years ago," I said calmly. "It's too late to regret it now." "I know," Caleb gave a wry smile. "I just wanted to prove that I could also…"

And so he did, though very reluctantly. After he finally left, my eyes turned red. But this time, I had no more tears left to cry. Maybe my feelings for him had died from the moment I realized he'd been lying to me. I wiped the corner of my eyes and decided to go back to sleep. I was going to leave him after I woke up. Just as I had closed my eyes, however, there was a commotion from the ward next to mine.

"If you really think I'm the person who treated you best in this life, then let me go. Let's never see each other again." My voice softened slightly. "Can't we just break up with dignity?" But my words seemed to flip a switch in his mind. The pleading expression vanished, replaced by something wild and dangerous. "No! I don't agree! You absolutely cannot leave me! You must be tied to me for life!" He staggered to his feet, his movements erratic and threatening. "You said that even if you died, you'd die with me! You can't break your word. Absolutely not!" The regret hit me like a tidal wave. I should have known better than to try to save someone so fundamentally broken.

I said sternly. Ethan stretched his left hand for me to hold while he continued driving with his right hand. “We all make mistakes, and your parents are not above mistakes too. I know they regret their actions towards you, and I believe they didn’t have a choice then. That was why they behaved that way. And also, we need their blessings for our marriage. But I will let you make your own decisions, and whatever you decide is okay with me,” Ethan said in a soft voice.
