The harsh words, the insults, the way he had thrown Serena out of his house - it all came crashing down on him like a tidal wave. His head spun, his mind reeling with the weight of his mistakes. He felt like he was drowning, suffocating under the pressure of regret. And then, everything went black.

He was drowning in his own regrets, the silence pressing in on him like a physical weight. "You're right," I said finally, my voice cracking the silence like thin ice.

Her voice became lower towards the end. Lucas scoffed unbelievably, “Come on! What’s wrong with you? I-I can’t cheat on you, Tara. You’re my first love. I-” Tara covered herself with the duvet and started sobbing, “What was I expecting? I’m now a useless woman with not less than few years to live..leave…I’m battling with sickness and you must have felt tired of me…you must…” Tears took the rest from her. Guilt feeling crept into Lucas’s soul, his heart couldn’t take the fact that Tara was weeping under the duvet. “Tara..” he wanted to get close.

It was that night that I found my story behind the man named River because that night he didn't just shatter me, he made me bath in a river of regret until I drowned. I'm sure it's a couple of seconds that pass by even though it feels like forever as I stare into his cold blue gaze.

He looked at me like he was searching for something-a crack, a weakness, a reason to believe I didn’t mean it. “I regret every moment with you,” I said. My voice was calm, but every word cut deep. “Every single one. I regret trying. I regret loving you. I regret begging. I regret offering you everything and getting nothing back. I regret wasting three years of my life on someone who never saw me as anything more than a business transaction.” My voice didn’t shake. “I regret all of it, you asshole.” Damon’s face changed. His mouth twitched, his eyes flickered. For a second, I thought I saw pain — real pain — but it didn’t matter anymore.

His eyes burned with regret. But he couldn’t give up. Deep down, he still loved Jade. “Jade, I’m sorry. I truly regret choosing Clara over you. Please give me a second chance. I promise I’ll make things right,” he pleaded, his voice trembling as Jade hurried into her car and drove off. He chased after her, but he couldn’t catch up. Defeated, he sank into regret. Later, he dined alone at a fancy restaurant, trying to drown his sorrows. When he returned home, he found the front door locked.

No one else was supposed to be here, that was the point of it being private. I stepped out of my boots, set them by the edge, and dived into the water with a loud splash. The coolness wrapped around me, easing the tension in my shoulders as I pushed off and started swimming in slow, steady moves, back and forth. But the water couldn’t wash away my thoughts.

I couldn't tell what felt so regretful but I felt it. It was something unspoken. Something I hadn’t even allowed myself to name yet.

The feeling of drowning brought so many bad memories which I didn't want to recall His actions and negligence made me feel he wanted to do the same thing they did to me "I don't want to die...don't punish me I didn't do anything.. please"I kept on begging while snuggling to his chest, muttering the words out without having control of myself. By the time I had control over my body, I found myself in Victor's arms, we were in the middle of the pool and he wasn't moving
