Regretful Novels & Stories

DANIEL Do you know what is the worst feeling out there? It is regret! Because It never leaves you. It surreptitiously but effectively keeps hollowing you out from the inside destructing your confidence and belief in the process. It doesn't feel like a sudden sharp stab but feels as if someone is slashing your heart piece by piece. You know what is the worse thing about it? you can't point fingers at others for feeling like this because Regret breeds from your own actions. It leaves you vulnerable and helpless. And what makes it even more dangerous is the fact that there is no salvation from it. No way out. IT STAYS FOREVER. Forever at your service to crumple your soul like a piece of paper.

“I never said before, but the truth is that night in Paris was one of the best nights of my life.” “But I had seen you were regretting, and you can’t deny that part.” “I won’t deny the regretting part. Yes, I was regretting but not because of what happened between us but by thinking about the future. I was regreeting because I knew after that incident, you would feel betrayed a little more than earlier after finding out the whole truth. I was regretting that I would end up causing more pain to you than earlier. I wasn’t upset with the last night incident, but I was upset with me.”

I cried out my grievances and disappointments all these years. From now on, Jules could never make me emotional again.

"Jasmine, that woman who broke your leg, I made her crawl on the ground for the rest of her life. That eases your pain, right?" I floated beside the tombstone, watching his increasingly haggard face but increasingly crazy eyes without a trace of emotion in my heart. Could these acts of revenge bring me back to life? No. So, they were meaningless. [Time remaining before return: 1 hour.] The system prompt sounded. Mom lost her dancing talent and became a cripple who had difficulty even walking normally. She locked herself in her old practice room every day, playing the video of me dancing when I was a child over and over again.

I smiled back, thankful, and then I walked away. I did not look back or hold on. I was like a quiet breeze, gone from this world.

"I wish I hadn't done any of it. I don't like who I was back then. I regret what I did to you." "It's easy to regret." Angela said, "Regret is what you feel when you think about your mistakes from a safe distance." "It's not easy for me." Alex sighed. "It's been the hardest thing for me to deal with. What I did to you. How I hurt you."

"You think this is enough?" "I know okay, I know I deserve more than this as punishment. I regret everything I ever did to my daughter. Her tears hunt me everyday and night, whenever I close my eyes to sleep all I see is Hazel and her mum crying and I wish I could turn back time and be a better husband and father. But it's too late and all I'm left with is memories of how I traumatized my daughter and wife. It's all messed up. Just go away and let me die here with my regrets and sorrow" He says as tears spill down his check and I feel the anger in my heart die down. He actually regrets his actions, he's actually sorry for what he did. That's very relieving.
