The President's Regret の小説・ストーリー

It was piled with papers on the list for the past months and all I could ever do was cry while still eyeing it. I felt so powerless and little right now. I knew that my family had always been poor, but I never experienced this hardship before the incident happened to my parents. Only just now. Sometimes, I do wish that if it’s true that they’re gone, I hope they can just take me away with them. So, I wouldn’t have to be in these hard days right now. I do regret everything.. I stayed there for a while and just cried my heart out. I don’t even know if anyone saw me and just refused to bother me, but I did see when the president’s secretary came in with a warm smile on her face.

“Yes yes. I promised I can. My wife and I would…” “She's twenty six years old, isn't she?” Ruby Yu asked as the couple raised their heads, the smile on her face remained same. Unfaltered. “So you had that fool in your care for almost thirty years and didn't manage to teach her any manners.” “I apologize,” The president fell to his knees, “please forgive us, we were irresponsible and…” “I heard you plan on running for president next year.” Silence.

He was not a tender understanding person; his wife was living proof of that. His wife and daughter were waiting for him. He experienced a sense of loss for the man he used to think he was right before this night happened, but there was no sorrow at what might have been or wishing he could undo his choice to be with her. He had no regrets. The president and the heiress walked together over the sand; she was back in her white dress but all he had on him was his pants. He wondered where to begin and wondered why he did not feel the urge to start the conversation that bad.

My eyes fixed on Katarina's face. We were left dumbfounded. We looked at each other, our chests heaving. I was too surprised by the intensity of our bodies ' reactions to each other. It was like dry tinder to fire- burning at the slightest provocation. The silence constricted my thoughts, but I spoke nonetheless. “I am not sorry,” I said quickly. “But Sir!” I could feel her body tensing in outrage. “As a man, I am not sorry. I wanted to taste those lips for weeks now, it made me crazy just thinking about it. But as your President, who at present is bound by his party obligations, I am sorry.”

Walking in feeling high and proud Richard took a seat inches away from the president anticipating his praises for a job well done "Ministers, thank you for making yourselves available today." the man said earning nods from the cabinet "What Kenneth did was rather inhuman and cruel. It is quite unfortunate that as the nation's leader i was unable to stop it at the earliest and i partly take the blame for that. The main reason for this meeting is to have a word with all of you in regards to my decision before announcing it to the entire nation." "Go on Mr President." said one of the men

Father said that he is sad because he couldn't witness my wedding in person as the father who had looked after me all this time," Rachel whispered in a trembling voice holding back tears. Mrs Tom smiled sweetly. "do not be sad dear." … Calvin sat pensively at his desk in the office. His head was spinning, his brain was muddled. Because of the conflict between him and his cousin-in-law, Rapheal, his life was completely destroyed. Even Calvin almost lost everything. Flashback on. "Forgive me in dvance, Calvin." said the President with a heavy heart. "Today I took the decision to stop you from government as a member of the DPR."

“All I'm trying to say is that if we lose this deal, there won't be another chance.” I exhaled heavily. “I know. I... I'm sorry for this.” The apology felt foreign on my tongue. I rarely apologized. In my world, every decision I made was calculated and justified. Regret wasn't something I entertained on a daily basis. Ever since what happened five years ago, regret has become a part of me. “It's fine, Carlino. Should we go?” he asked while straightening his collar, bending down to gather the files scattered across the pavement.

He considered doubling Jaime's bonus for this month! "Okay, then I will spend more time with him." Annabelle walked into the room, while Jaime gently closed the door, leaving the space for the two of them. He silently glanced at Mrs. Gregory with red eyes and wondered, "Can the president really bear to deceive someone?" The way she looked so sad; it made him feel sorry for her. However, the president is not an ordinary person, and he is also very good at pretending in normal times, so maybe he could do it...

Regret was a useless emotion. I knew that better than anyone. Regret changed nothing. It didn’t rewrite history. It didn’t fix damage. But standing there alone in the dim light of my office, I realized something terrifying. For the first time in years… I regretted something deeply. Not a business decision. Not a failed negotiation. Not an investment. Ciara. Losing her. Hurting her. And possibly losing seven years with my own son because I was too blind to see the truth back then.

Richard entered the press conference and all chatter from inside the room ceased at the sight of the unexpected President’s appearance. He climbed up the podium and nodded at the camera man. “Hello.” He said smiling to the audience of journalists. “It is with great sadness and disappointment that I stand here today to express my deepest apologies to the women of this nation. Women who are in the midst of losing their basic human reproductive rights. Women who the White House and I have sworn to protect. I can’t imagine what they must be going through, losing their bodily autonomy and having others decided what they will do with their bodies. I never experienced such loss because I had the pr
