Humble Bragging Novels & Stories

He said laughing back at me. "Yes, are you up for it or should I rather look for a big fish to play with?" I teased. "You don't like to lose do you? You like to win, I can see". He said, using my words against him earlier. "Yes, I don't like to lose if I can help it". I said, affirming my conviction. "I guess you will not let me win easily in this contest". He said bragging, while I still cling onto him. "It is arrogant of you to assume you will win. I might know a secret move that you are not prepared for". I pointed out. Of course I didn't have any secret move, just saying anything to keep the fun going.

“Fine. I’ve almost finished here. How about we send a message to your father informing him we’ll attend his celebration? Ugh, this is a humbling thought. I don’t have any experience running any territory, nor have the slightest idea of how to act appropriately for this new station. Dread is overwhelming and I’m worried I’ll make a mistake and embarrass you.” “George, if I was worried about how embarrassing something or someone was, I wouldn’t do anything because I regularly embarrass myself. You need to remember humble won’t get you anywhere but used, abused, or dead, so never apologize to anyone except maybe my father for being unaware of something. I’m not saying lie about what you know. J

there the horn of arrogance appearing again. "I am. But I am more grateful with my brother. Not with you Jeoff!" I answered him in a very boastful way. “Because even though my parents were gone, my brother is always there for me. He never leaves my side. You know what Jeoff? The only secret of life is you have to be contented on what you have and if you really want to attain something that's the time you have to make an action as you've said. But not in the way that you would be really selfish. Sometimes we also need to humble ourselves to others.” I breath deeply. Give my gaze to deep blue sky.

Pissed off. "Hey! That's Mine. Gimme that to me!!" I said as I pulled the stuffed toys. But he is strong, we are fighting. "As far as I know, Miss. I'm the FIRST one who gets this. This Is Mine!" he said. Grr, he really emphasized the word FiRST you brag! I glared at him. How dare he?! Not even being a gentleman. Tsk, is that still a trend? Errr.

“Wow. Wow. Can we see? Even I didn’t know that but so it begins. If there is rage without wisdom, power without control then they are omens of ruin in the near future. There are no signs of leadership embedded in him.” At that, I decided to stand. The chair I had sat on scraped loudly against the floor as I rose up. I drew in every eye before I began clapping, it was all a show but one that needed to be done. There was a smirk tugging at my lips. “Well said, Elder Bragg,” I drawled, letting a hint of mockery come through. “I believe even the Moon Goddess would envy you for this insight.” Elder Bragg’s wife preened under the compliment while Bragg himself gave me that political smile of his.

"Not for me. For this. So you could watch me get turned down and she could stand there and smile about it." "You have always done this," he said, louder now. "Always, since you were a child. Blaming everyone else, never taking responsibility, never once looking at yourself and asking what you did wrong. You don't know how to be grateful, you don't know how to be humble, you just take and complain and embarrass—" "I embarrass you?" "Yes." He said it without hesitating. "You embarrass me. Running around with some nobody hockey player, throwing away everything this family built for you, and for what? To prove a point? What point, Scarlett? What exactly are you trying to prove?"

"If not me, then who?" Before I could answer, he smiled proudly. "I made it." "I'm amazing, aren't I?" "You compliment yourself too much," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "I thought Alphas were supposed to be humble." "Who told you that?" Genaro laughed softly. "We should be humble when it matters." "But people should also remember who's stronger." There wasn't any arrogance in his voice. That was the strange part. He believed it naturally. Like it was simply the way the world worked.

He was once again bragging about something or other, but very few were paying him any attention. “He never gives up.” Vaughan murmured. “You would think, he would have yielded up by now. None of the higher ranking nobility considers him as one of their own, thus they avoid him at best, and mock him whenever they can. Others of his own rank, are well aware of his bragging, and do not care for it... so the only ones who will listen to him, are those of lower rank, or those who have never met him before, for whatever reason.”

It was ridiculous that I tried not to grin. "Who were you referring to as your nephew, and he's a 26-years-old man!" Adam said, the last part, mimicking my voice. "No, no, Adam! I thought you were proud of your age... you just corrected me about it. I didn't want to make the same mistake." "Yeah, I proudly told you, but it was to you, NOT YOUR FREAKING EX!" He yelled at me disappointed. Adam's hubris showed in his blazing voice. It's he has an exorbitant amount of pride in his social status and himself.

She looks at me with her mouth slightly parted, I could tell she was surprised, I mean I am too, I kneeled before a woman and apologised, that’s something I didn’t think I expect of myself, let alone anyone else. “You probably hate and you’re only helping me because Charles asked you to,” She slides off her chair and kneels in front of me, “I’d never hate you Xander, and I forgive you. You did what most men can’t do, be humble and I love that and appreciate that.” I look at her and smile, “Thank you.” “Just promise me one thing, that no matter what happens, you and I will always be equal, just like you’ve kneeled before me, I did the same, because that’s what people should do. Be humble befo
