As Richard steered the helicopter toward a more secluded part of the sky, he took a deep breath, ready to execute his plan. He remarked casually,
“Why don’t you go closer to the door for a better view, my dear?”
Amelia, always trusting her husband, approached the edge of the open door. Without hesitation, Richard grabbed her arm and, with a swift and violent movement, shoved her out of the helicopter.
Amelia screamed as the wind stung her face, but her scream was cut short by a startling realization: she had been prepared for this. She had suspected Richard’s intentions and, over the past few months, had taken precautions—precautions that no one, not even Richard, could have anticipated.
As Amelia plummeted through the air, her thoughts raced. She had always known Richard was ambitious, but she never imagined he would go this far. He had always shown a deep admiration for her wealth, but she never thought he would try to seize it in such a brutal way. But Amelia wasn't just a billionaire tech mogul; she was also incredibly strategic, and she'd long suspected that Richard was after more than just her love.
Years ago, after a near-death experience in a car accident, Amelia had become hypersensitive to the people around her. She knew how dangerous greed could be, especially among those closest to her. And she began preparing for the worst. Her security team had placed a series of hidden parachutes in the most unexpected places: one of them was attached to her seat in that very helicopter. Amelia had also taken flying lessons, not to pilot, but to survive in an emergency.
As the wind whistled around her, Amelia reached behind her and found the parachute tucked under her coat. She quickly adjusted her harness, praying she had enough time. The helicopter was already a distant blur above, and the world below seemed years away.
With a calmness born only of years of preparation, Amelia pulled the ripcord, deploying the parachute. The sudden jolt lifted her high, halting her fall. Her heart pounded, but she was alive, and that was all that mattered.
