I Regret Letting Her Go Novels & Stories

Every mile in the air another beat of regret. I stared out the window as the sun dropped below the clouds, painting the sky in bruised colors. I thought of the last time I saw her—truly saw her. Her hair pulled back, her voice flat, her eyes tired and hard and full of the kind of hurt I’d never wanted to put there. She’d packed quietly. Left the key on the marble counter. Didn’t cry. I did. Not in front of her. But later. Alone. I never sent that voice note to beg her to stay. I just let her go.

I said, my voice tight with frustration, “not everyone can live stuck in the past like you want them to. People move on and that's what I did, same with you.” She opened her mouth to argue, but I held up a hand, cutting her off. “I get it. You think we had something perfect before. And maybe we did, but that was before. Things have changed. I’ve changed. And you need to accept that. We are never going back to who we were.” Her expression shifted, the disappointment in her eyes becoming sharper. She looked like she was on the verge of exploding. “You’re really going to throw away what we had? The love? Everything?” she shot back, her voice tinged with anger now.

"Beverly, my decision kills me every night, and yes, you are, once again, correct. I could have handled things better. I could have not hurt Clara like that, but I was blinded by something so flashy that I buried my true feelings, and now, it was back to bite me in the ass!" I was breathless, pained, sweaty, annoyed. There were so many emotions, so much hate that was directed toward myself more than anyone else. Beverly's smile disappeared. "Oh, you do have a heart!" "Surprise," the word fell out empty, void of any enthusiasm. "So if you're going to ask me if I regret it? I do! I fucking regret letting Clara go. I regret it every day, and yes, I'm so sure I want a divorce. I can't keep foldi

the thought of her hating me broke a sharp pain to me. "Quan". Peace called out, "I'm here". I replied, "It's been a longtime quan, you have to let her go ". Peace words seem like a pled. "I can't ". I murmured, "You know how it took me several years to let go of her, and now I've found her, I can't just let her go like that". I spoke stubbornly. Peace hissed softly over the phone, "She has a family now, maybe that's why she is pretending not to know you ". What peace said might be right, but I don't care.

“Didn’t you once say that we’re a logistics company, and we rely on strength? “So is your strength only enough for delivering takeout?” My words turned his face ghostly pale. He broke down and started sobbing. After the summit, he was fired. The funds he misappropriated couldn’t be repaid. He faced lawsuits and enormous debt. “My wife divorced me! My kids don’t recognize me! Everyone avoids me! Mr. Miller, I really know I was wrong!” He begged, even trying to kneel. I looked at him. Then, using the tone he had once used to lecture me, I spoke deliberately, word by word.

"Years ago, you chose another man because he could give you something I couldn't. I spent years believing I had somehow moved past that. Then you came back, and I convinced myself that maybe you regretted what you'd done." My grip tightened around the phone. "I believed you." "I'm…sorry” Deep down I still hoped I had heard a explanation Deep down my heart still wanted to belive all this was just a cruel joke That I didn’t make the fucking wrong choice That… fuck!!

“You look terrible.” “I feel terrible.” She stopped.

She leaned forward. “You regret it so much.”
