Amelia’s instincts had never failed her, and Richard’s sudden affection felt wrong. So the night before their helicopter “surprise,” she secretly met with Marcus, her head of security. They equipped her with a coat that hid a parachute and an earpiece linked to Marcus.
When Richard shoved her out of the helicopter, thinking he’d just secured her fortune, Amelia was already prepared. She deployed the parachute, steadied herself in the air, and followed Marcus’s calm guidance as she drifted to safety. Her team met her the moment she landed.
Meanwhile, Richard was celebrating — until Marcus’s voice cut through the helicopter’s radio:
“Amelia is alive. Your betrayal is recorded. Authorities are on the way.”
Richard panicked, realizing he’d been outsmarted.
In the days after, Amelia pressed legal charges and fortified her company. The betrayal only strengthened her resolve.
She moved forward with clarity and power — protecting her father’s legacy and the future of the child she carried.
