Chapter 46:

The pen slipped from Brian’s grip, hitting the desk with a sharp sound.

Rising suddenly, he fixed Ronald with a look of disbelief. “Say that again.”

Ronald’s response was short and tense. “Ms. Marsh’s plane is currently unreachable.”

“Get the jet ready,” Brian commanded, and he dashed out of the room.

The aircraft trembled violently.

A steep descent threw everyone into chaos, their screams piercing the air. Holding Jeffrey close, Rachel instinctively tried to protect him.

Fear gripped her completely.

She shook uncontrollably, her hands slick with sweat, and her heart seemed lodged in her throat.

The plane’s erratic drops continued, and even Jeffrey’s calm demeanor faltered.

“Are we going to die?” he asked, his small voice barely audible over the turmoil.

Rachel was confronted with the concept of death more directly than ever before.

She held Jeffrey tighter, forcing calm into her voice as she whispered, “No, we won’t. You’re our lucky charm. We’ll make it through this.”

But doubt gnawed at her, making her words feel fragile.

If this was truly the end, at least she could take Jeffrey to see their mother in heaven. She was certain their mother had missed them dearly over the years.

As Rachel faced these thoughts, she realized her fear of dying wasn’t as overwhelming as she had expected.

Instead, regret flooded her. If she had known this flight would be her last, she would never have brought Jeffrey, Samira, or Trey.

She would have visited Brian’s grandparents one last time, enjoying a peaceful afternoon with Yvonne.

Above all, she wished she could say goodbye to Brian. She would have smiled at him, the man she had cherished since her youth, and given him a heartfelt farewell.

She would have left quietly.

That would have been the most fitting way.

The cries on the aircraft surged and ebbed, relentless as the sea.
