Before the flight takes off, my fiance, the pilot, boards the plane with a suitcase. He says it's a gift from his childhood sweetheart and warns me not to touch it. I can't shake the uneasy feeling creeping into my heart, so I sneak inside. To my shock, I find high-risk contraband hidden in the luggage. I report it immediately and use my commendation to cover for Edward's mistake and save his career. However, his precious childhood sweetheart is arrested, detained, and sentenced. He doesn't say a word after the incident. However, during another flight, he cuts the cord to my parachute. "Jade, I know you're jealous of Cindy! You sabotaged her during her flight attendant training and framed her afterward! Do you think this will make me love you? Dream on! I would never marry a petty woman like you!" I plunge from ten thousand meters above the ground, leaving nothing but blood and broken bones behind. When I open my eyes again, I see Cindy sending Edward off, and he's carrying the same suitcase. I quietly step back and decide I won't save him this time.

No Turning Back After the Calm Chapter 10
When Edward was at his lowest point, I wrote his reflection reports and took on the pressure from the airline so that he could keep his job. Yet time and again, I stood at the terminal exit countless times, watching other women get picked up, while he never showed up for me.I kept convincing myself that he cared, but he was just too busy and reserved to show it. Again and again, I found excuses for him.And now, he was finally there at the exit with flowers in his hand, but I no longer needed them.…Later, Edward tried to contact me. At first, he sent text messages and emails, then voice messages, and finally handwritten letters.They were always the same sort of messages."I'm sorry. I know it's all my fault.""Cindy tricked me. I never truly understood my own heart.""Do you remember our first overnight flight? You secretly drew a route for me at the back of the cabin and said one day, you'd fly with me across the world."I read them at first, but never felt the urge to re

The official report was brief and straightforward.Cindy was placed in criminal custody and handed over to the judicial authorities. She was ultimately sentenced to 23 years and 8 months in jail for acquiring and trafficking high-concentration addictive drugs, carrying aviation contraband, and disrupting flight order.Though not directly responsible for transporting contraband, Edward was found guilty of abandoning his post mid-flight, smuggling a non-crew member into the cockpit, and obstructing cabin safety inspections. His license was revoked, and he was permanently banned from flying.The rest of the crew was cleared of all responsibility and instead awarded commendations. I was promoted for upholding procedure and handling the situation with a proper strategy.The room stayed utterly silent. I swept my gaze across the hall and said, "I didn't know beforehand. I had to know, as that was my duty as lead flight attendant."…The next day, I heard a tap on my office door just as

After the lawyer left, the airline began receiving calls from the Crowley family, pressuring them to drop this matter.As a result, the company instantly called in an emergency meeting to contain the damage and public opinion, scrambling to put out fires while also settling accounts.I was summoned to the senior conference room, where two options were placed before me. Either be transferred to the ground team as an "involved party," effectively being marginalized.Or be assigned to remote branch routes, ending any chance of flying high-end routes or getting promoted.I listened quietly and nodded before asking, "May I say something?""Go on." The executives exchanged looks.I smiled before turning my phone screen toward them. On the screen glowed a trending headline. "Flight Attendant Exposes Captain for Contraband. Passenger's Footage Goes Viral."The HD footage captured the arrest from every angle, and the comments overflowed with awe."I'm a fan of that cool lead flight

"I've already told you this is all a misunderstanding. Once I prove my innocence, all of you will pay for this!" Edward growled.Cindy eagerly chimed in, "Edward has connections, and he can make all of you lose your jobs!"Edward turned to glare at me and hissed, "Your crew's psychological evaluation clearly isn't up to standard. I'll file a report and have the entire team grounded and transferred to ground duty. You can all forget about flying again!"The air froze instantly.One of the flight attendants' faces turned pale, and she clenched her fists angrily. "Don't push your luck!"Edward sneered at her words and challenged, "Oh, so now you're scared? Weren't you quite brave when you were mocking us earlier? Just sit tight. Your time's coming!""What's the rush? The inspection isn't over yet," I stated coldly.With that, I moved closer to the luggage and crouched beside it. I reached my hand into the pile of scattered lingerie and special toys and retrieved a lace bra among th
