“ I thought that I would let you be and keep to myself but I realise now that it was a mistake. I should have confronted you about the welcome party you threw for her when you said you were going to attend a gala. I was an idiot for believing whatever you say. In a sense, this is my fault. I didn't even mention that I wasn't feeling well and I missed my parents. In case you forgot, my parents died. They have been gone for a long time and this is where they are buried. That is why I came here to visit them. I'm not some crazy stalker like you think but yeah, you can think whatever. I don't care anymore. You can continue taking care of Anna. She matters more to you than I do.” I lost my compos

As if that pillow was the last solid thing left in a world built entirely of sand. The air was thick, clogged with a thousand unsaid things. Regret hovered like smoke—bitter, clinging to the back of his throat. Regret for words that escaped like weapons. Regret for the silence that followed like a funeral procession. Regret for how far they’d drifted, two souls once aligned now orbiting different worlds.

"W–What is that regret? And why did you exclude me from the mission now?" "Isn't it more than a coincidence that the very first day I woke up and flew to this city, you are the first woman I set my eyes on at that party?" He paused and sighed heavily. "My regret is ending you in my past life. Now I'm back to make sure I don't repeat that. I'm back to love you, Eve."

while my tears continued to fall. I gasped, "If only I knew...," I looked up, trying to fight back my tears. I took a deep breath again, "If only I knew that this would happen to you... I wish I never said those words to you," I said full of regret. Maybe they're right about what they said, that regret always comes last. Because look at me now, I'm filled with regret because of what they said, regretful for this opportunity. I'm so regretful to the point that I want to create a time machine so that I could turn back time and make things right.

I shouldn't have gone there, I shouldn't have! That was the only regret I have left in my life now, I didn't regret killing that man, I didn't regret dropping the revenge and going back on my words. I didn't regret changing the purpose of my life but I did regret one thing. For going there. I shouldn't have gone there.

Emily. My life has never been more miserable than it is now, I had thought I had it all. That getting Gwen’s property was my best plan, I had thought I would get away with it but I was wrong. I started regretting my decisions the day after Ian left, I haven’t seen him since then and he hasn’t bothered to come visit either. I kept telling myself that I should not have done what I did, I shouldn’t have taken Jason out of his house that day. I should have closed my eyes to the past—to how he treated me and then moved on with him.

he whispered. Freya leaned into him, a small smile playing on her lips. “Everything,” she said softly. “Regrets?” he asked. She turned her head slightly, looking up at him. “No. Of course not,” she said. Her smile widened as she gazed into his beautiful silver eyes. “For the first time in my life, I don't have a single regret.” Diego kissed her temple, holding her tighter. “Now that's what I've always wanted to hear.”

“No. I regret the hurt I caused you. I regret the lies and the pride. But I do not regret the journey. Because without it, I would still be the man I was—rich, respected, but empty, hiding behind a name and a mask. And you… you would not be the strong, independent woman you are now. We would not have this life, this peace, this understanding. We would not have been able to help so many others.” He squeezed my hand. “Regret is for wishing things were different. But I am grateful for what we have become. And I would not trade the lessons we learned for an easy, empty beginning.” As the sky turned to shades of pink and purple, the first stars beginning to twinkle faintly above, we sat there, su
