No Turning Back After the Calm
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.
