My Disappointment Is Immeasurable Novels & Stories

What can the answer be? Why is this happening to us? I don’t know. The thought of seeing him again fills me with dread. And knowing that this can amount to nothing is devastating for me for some reason. I don’t know where this was going to go. It wouldn’t go anywhere. I don’t know what I was expecting but the disappointment is great. Too great. I wish I didn’t feel this way. It’s not like I’m in love for him.

Everything had changed, she realized, and it was impossible to restore what was gone. When a distant clock struck two, she rolled out of bed and lit a candle on the small desk by the window. Reaching for a sheaf of paper and a quill, she dipped the long, ivory feather into the inkpot and started writing, "Magnus, words cannot describe how grateful I am to you. You are the kindest, gentlest, most genuine man I've ever known all my life. You deserve a woman whose love is unchanging in spite of separation and challenge, who will never turn to another, no matter what. I'm sorry I've failed you, and disappointed you time and again. I wish I could love you as you deserve. I don't want to hurt you

he says, beaming at me. I nod, a sad smile creeping onto my face as I reflect on the situation. “It’s just so sad, you know? I had so many expectations and plans for her, but that’s all gone to waste since she betrayed me. I’d be lying if I said she didn’t serve me well; she was such a faithful and efficient worker. That’s why this whole thing came as such a shock to me.” The weight of disappointment hangs in the air, and I can’t shake the feeling of loss over what could have been.

Even through the fear choking me, I felt my heart crack irreparably. And I knew—I’d disappointed him in ways I wouldn’t be able to fix.

He looked so full of hope. Just like I used to be. Year after year. The third slip...also blank. Adrian’s brows drew together, that look— that wounded, unfair, can’t‑believe-this-is-happening expression. And that… that finally broke something in me. My tears fell. “A few minutes—just a few minutes—and you already feel upset!?” “You think this is unbearable!?” “Do you have any idea what it was like for me? To hope every year, to pray, and be disappointed every single time!?”

As darkness pulls me under, a tall figure steps into my fading vision. “Apologies ,” he says calmly, “for being late.” Race.

he responded, his tone laced with disappointment. I sat up, my movements deliberate. "Sam, we've been friends for almost all my life," I declared, my voice softening slightly. "So I thought maybe I should spare your feelings. Maybe I'll love you if I think about you, but sorry to disappoint you. My heart just isn't feeling the same way you are," I explained, my words gentle but resolute.

Ruffled hair and miserable face. "I said I'm sorry, I just don't want to depend on you for everything, it hurts me to know that I'm incapable of affording myself! You know what today my manager gave me a salary because he trusts me because you! Why? Why Mr Bernard? Why should I take your favour?" She looked up at him, in his dark eyes and questioned. He was already looking at her, his expressions stark and cold.

It came with a profound, settling clarity, as quiet and irreversible as the closing of a book. “I’m not willing to accept this,” I said. The air left the room. He studied me, his head tilted slightly, as if I were a complex piece of code he was trying to debug. “You don’t mean that,” he replied, a trace of that old arroganceThe air in his studio, usually thick with the scent of turpentine and possibility, now felt thin and sharp, like the air before a storm breaks. I could see the fracture in his eyes, a tiny, hairline crack in the obsidian calm he always wore. It wasn’t anger. It was something worse: a cold, clinical disappointment.

He asked, staring into my eyes. “It felt like I'm just worthless. I hated the feeling. You put your faith in me when you marked me. I never wanted to disappoint you. But everyday I failed to move that damn thing, I felt like I was disappointing you.” I tried not to cry but I couldn't stop myself. Because of my anger, he was in pain. “And who told you that I was disappointed in you?” He asked and I looked up at him. “You didn't have to. I have been nothing but a disappointment for everyone. I tried not to be for you.” I whimpered through soft sobs. Beta Andrew pulled me closer to his chest.
