Chapter 1 - My Broken Heart

I was sitting inside the cabin of an airplane. My sit was just beside the window. I was flying all alone to a country I just randomly picked. I looked at the scenery outside the window. The sky was clear without any clouds. I sighed heavily.

My name is Anastasia Rosette Berkin. The one and only daughter of the great business man Anthony Berkin and the sole heiress of his business empire. I grew up with a silver spoon my mouth. I was spoiled and pampered since young.

All my life I only loved one man and he was my childhood friend Jeremy Cooper. He was the son of my father's close friend and business partner and was one year older than me.

Since young I have promised myself to be his wife and be together with him the rest of my life. Our parents were happy with my thoughts. They had the thought of a merger between the two most powerful business empires with marriage.

But it was not meant to be. By the time I entered college, Jeremy met a woman by the name Angelika Clark. He fell in love with her and got into a relationship with her.

For me I saw Angelika as a thief. She stole Jeremy away from me. And so I did everything I could with my wealth, power, and beauty to get the love of my life back. I cannot accept a country bumpkin who was below me snatch away my Jeremy.

In college I have done many things to bully Angelika. With my family's standing and my beauty, many of the students at our school follows me. And so bullying her was an easy snitch.

But Jeremy was always there to get in my way. He dearly protects her and that made me even more furious.

When we entered into adulthood and started to work, I also used my power to step on her every chance I get. I wanted Jeremy to see that Angelika wasn't good enough to be by his side. I can only be the one to stand together with him in the upper stage.

And when my plans got to far and Angelika was in danger and got hurt, Jeremy was so furious towards me.

"I don't ever want to see you again!" Jeremy shouted furiously. "I have treated and loved you as a little sister. I have forgiven you many times with your bullying towards Angelika. But you have gone too far. Forget that we were ever friends!"

My heart was broken after Jeremy said all of that. That was when I realized that everything that I have done was really bad, I was basically a villainess in their love story.

Because of my broken heart, I have been depressed for many days. I can't eat or sleep. My parents that dearly loves me scolded me for my wrong doings. I realized how selfish I was and that even though I can't get Jeremy's love, many people around me loves me as who I am.

I changed by the time Angelika came into my and Jeremy's life and so I plan to revert back to the old me.

I told my parents I needed a vacation to move on and randomly picked a country as a destination. My parents gave me their blessing. I am happy to have such loving parents. Even though they scolded me, they were also mad at Jeremy for hurting my feelings. They have stopped any business mergers with Jeremy's company as a result.

And so here I am, trying to move on. Looking at the sky, my tears are starting to come out once more.

'Don't cry, don't cry.' I told myself. 'You have cried enough for that man.'

'Ding' the intercom of the cabin dinged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard flight B560. We are in line for take-off." The voice in the intercom said. The voice said the pre-flight safety tips in every air plane before take off. "Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones."

I fished my for my mobile phone inside my bag. Once I picked it up and was about to turn it off, it rang.

An unknown number flashed on the screen. My eyebrows scrunched curiously. To answered my mobile phone to know who the caller was.

"Hello. Who is this?" I asked.

"I see you are escaping, good for you." I heard a female's voice on the other end.

This voice was familiar to me.

"May I know who am I speaking to?" I asked again.

"Oh, can you recognize who I am. After years of bullying me." The woman said. "Well at least I had the last laugh, hahaha."

"Angelika?!" I was surprised. "Why are you calling me? What else do you want? You have won, you have Jeremy all to yourself." Tears were starting to pour out of my eyes.

"That is why I called. I want to say thank you." Angelika said. "Now that you have left, there will be no nuisance to stop me from my plans."

"What do you mean." I asked confused. What king of plans does she have now that I am away?

"You don't need to know that. But now you are gone I can proceed according to plan. Thank you." Angelika said with a sweet voice. "But I am afraid that you going to another country isn't enough. I need you gone for good."

"What?! What do you mean?" My hands started to tremble.

""Have a safe flight... to the afterlife hahaha!!!" Angelika laughed wickedly, so different to the sweet and charming side she had portrayed beside Jeremy.

'Toot toot toot' the call was cut after.

The plane was in the air by the time the call ended. And after that there was aloud explosion.

'Bang!'

The air plane started to dive downwards. The oxygen masks dropped down above our seats.

"Dear passengers, we have just lost one of our engines. Please stay calm as we are going to attempt an emergency landing." The captain said on the intercom.

The people inside the airplane cabin started to panic. I was well started to panic. I took the oxygen mask and started to breath in it. Everything that happened in the past flashed thru me. Every bit of memory ran like a video.

"Is this it? Am I going to die just like this?" I whispered.

I still have so many things to do. My parents are still waiting for me. And Angelika, how can she do such a thing. She isn't a normal sweet girl as she portrayed to be. What are her plans? I can't die just like this.

And all went black. My whole body felt numb.
