Resent Reject Regret Novels & Stories

After a while, Becky went crazy from all the torture, looking like a dirty, mad old lady. Ellison even tried to ask Janet about me, hoping for a photo or any little thing, or if I had left him something... However, Janet just told him. "Lily left you nothing, not even a word." Ellison stood still, his face twisted in pain, looking terrible. It made sense. He had made so many mistakes, and when Lily left, he knew he would not be forgiven. Ellison spent his days lost in drink, stumbling through life until he drank so much he ended up in the hospital.

"I messed up. You're better than this. Just let me go!" Eric yanked her back a step, pale and wrecked. "Lena, I screwed up." I stepped out of the elevator, baby bump out, Shelby and my legal team right behind me. Briana lost it. "Lena, I swear I've changed! I'm begging you!" I stopped. Looked down at both of them. Zero sympathy. "Briana, I'm not a rehab center." Calm. Cold. She stepped closer, jaw tight. "We've paid enough. I got kicked out, Eric too. We're broke. What else do you want?"

My father even bellowed with rage, "Julian, he dared to hit my daughter! I will see to it that our family's collaboration ends here today if you fail to give her the justice she deserves!" Julian's face changed drastically. He slapped Miles once more and yelled, "You scoundrel! If I had known you were so unworthy, I would've never acknowledged you as one of the Wrights. "You'd better get on your knees and beg for Mr. and Mrs. Moore's forgiveness and apologize to Willow right this instant!" It seemed that Julian's tough love had finally given Miles a wake-up call. Miles' look at me was complicated. It was filled with regret and resentment.

"Jasper, Casey, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hurt Lisa. I didn't mean to, I just felt so insecure. I grew up without parents and cared about you two so much. I couldn't control myself…" She continued, "I'm willing to do anything if you'll just forgive me. You've already lost her. I'm your only sister now." Tears streamed down her face. Her voice was sweet and delicate as always. But this time, she wasn't greeted with comfort. Instead, it was a cold, merciless rejection. "Janice, you're only begging now because you're worried you'll lose everything. You're just afraid we won't protect you anymore." "You could have lived a life of luxury, but you laid your hands on Lisa."

Not being able to get his way made him shake. Still, he remained calm. Tried harder not to lose his control on himself. No matter what, he was wrong and he hurt his Dove. He needed to tread carefully. "Claire, please, hit me if you want but don't walk away. I don't want us to regret anything." He rasped. "Regret? You think I'll regret letting you go? Haha, you're pretty full of yourself! But you know what, the only thing I regret is falling in love with you."

There was so much beauty and bitterness in his gaze—as if he also felt the weight of time that had passed. “I… I don’t know what to say,” I tried to hold back my sobs and tried to digest everything that had happened. “All this time, I feel like I’ve lost you. So many things have happened in my life, and I miss your presence so much.” With great humility, my father nodded, his face full of regret. “I know, and I’m so sorry for everything. I’ve been away from you all this time, and I never meant to hurt you or your family,” he said, his voice full of regret.

"I don't expect forgiveness. I just... I needed you to know that failing you is my biggest regret. Not because of the job or the company, but because you're one of the few people in this world I truly respect." Seth stared at her for a long moment, his expression unreadable. When he finally spoke, his voice was rough. "Go home, Paige." She nodded, understanding the dismissal. As she turned to leave, Isabella stepped forward. "Let me call you a ride—" "No," Paige said quickly, wiping her eyes. "I need to walk. Clear my head." They watched her disappear, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. "Seth," Isabella said quietly. "She made a terrible mistake, but—"

Honestly, I regretted ever suggesting this wedding in the first place. I had once convinced myself that a smaller wedding would be best. That’s what I told Ella, but in reality, I was stalling. Deep down, I knew I didn’t want to marry her. Maybe if I had stuck with our original plan of a grand wedding, we would have never reached this day, because with the way I had been saving, it would’ve taken years to make it happen. Perhaps that would have saved us both.

"I've been looking for you." Ethan didn't answer quickly. He needed to chose his words carefully, to let Gabriel comprehend the extent of his anguish. "Gabriel," he continued, his voice firm, "what you did, the way you rejected me, it hurt more than I can ever express." Gabriel gulped hard, his shoulders dropping. "I know, and I'm very sorry, Ethan. I was an idiot. I let my ego and arrogance blind me." Ethan's eyes never wavered. "I need to know, Gabriel, why did you reject me? Why did you imply I wasn't good enough for you?"

There was no way to soothe my resentment toward him. "Baby, it's only your words that matter on this. I understand where you are coming from," he caressed my arms gently. In my mind, my refusal of his business proposal wasn't a kind of revenge because I only chose for Denver to keep away from him. I didn't want any of my newfound family to have an engagement around my estranged father. Same as what he did to me, I wanted to totally omit him from our lives. I believed I was being rational in that situation.
