My best friend flirted with my boyfriend while he was piloting a plane,accidentally hitting the control panel,sending the plane crashing into a mountain.
The accident resulted in multiple passengers severely injured or dead.
Later,she denied ever entering the cockpit and even accused me of seducing her boyfriend,claiming that my actions caused the crash.

My boyfriend backed her up,swearing I stripped naked in the cockpit to harass him.
During a media interview,Emma Carter put on a dramatic show,sobbing as she played the perfect victim:
“Claire Evans,if you liked my boyfriend,you could’ve competed fairly,but you shouldn’t have endangered the lives of everyone on that plane!”
Because of their lies,I went from being the rightful girlfriend to being labeled a homewrecker.
The airline fired me.The grieving families of the victims took to the internet, relentlessly cyberbullying me and my family.Under unbearable pressure,I took my own life to prove my innocence.
Meanwhile,they capitalized on my downfall,becoming influencers and profiting from live-streamed sales,achieving a massive social climb.

When I opened my eyes again,I found myself back on the day of the accident.
Thud.
My body hit the ground,the sound of the concrete impact echoing deafeningly.
A month ago,I was an envied flight attendant;now,I was a broken mess.

All thanks to my best friend,Emma Carter,and my boyfriend,James Harper.
Emma and I joined the airline at the same time.
Our similar personalities and backgrounds quickly turned us into close friends.
My boyfriend,James,was a pilot for the same airline.
A month ago,Emma,James,and I were assigned to the same flight.Before takeoff,the three of us even made plans to have dinner together.
But once the plane leveled off,Emma slipped into the cockpit when I wasn’t looking.
Moments later,the plane noosedived almost vertically.By the time we realized what was happening, the wing had already slammed into a mountain.
The violent impact caught everyone off guard.Without proper safety precautions,many passengers died instantly.
The plane finally managed an emergency landing.I quickly got the survivors to safety.
When I rushed back to the cockpit to check on James,I found Emma,half-naked,sitting on the floor,scared out of her wits.
James’s pants were unzipped.
I understood everything instantly and broke up with him right then and there.
I assumed they’d both be fired.Instead,I was the one who got the boot.
Emma and James lied,accusing me of entering the cockpit and seducing him,which supposedly caused the crash.
Emma,pretending to be enraged,slapped me twice:“Claire,you almost got everyone killed!”
I denied it,ready to expose their cockpit antics,but James stepped forward and slapped me too.
“Claire,you make me sick!Are you that desperate for a man?You didn’t care about the passengers’ lives at all!”
“If it weren’t for you,this wouldn't have happened! You're the one to blame!”
“I’m telling you,Emma and I are meant to be!Even if you stripped naked,I wouldn’t give you a second look!”
Before I could defend myself,grieving families and a swarm of reporters stormed into the office.
“What happened during the incident?”a male reporter asked,addressing the three of us.
“We were all at our posts.Claire snuck into the cockpit,stripped,and seduced the pilot,causing the crash!”Emma said,her voice trembling with fake fear.
“That’s not true!”I protested.
“Claire,own up to what you did!Don’t drag innocent people down with you!”
“If Emma hadn’t helped evacuate the passengers, who knows how many more would have died!”
James’s words painted me as the villain.
I looked at our crew,hoping someone would come to my defense,but they all avoided my gaze.
Of course—James’s father,Robert Harper,was a major shareholder in the airline.They’d clearly been paid off.
“Claire,James and I are deeply in love.Please stop trying to break us up,”Emma said,sobbing softly as she leaned into James,the picture of a victim.
In that moment,I went from the legitimate girlfriend into a hated mistress.
Reporters looked at me with disdain.One even took a step back,as if I were contagious.
“Ms.Evans,do you have anything to say about your selfish actions?”
Before I could respond,angry family members rushed forward and started beating me.
The bone-deep pain still makes me shudder when I think of it.
As the crowd dispersed,I caught Emma’s smug,gloating expression through my swollen eyes.
“Claire,you can’t escape this.Better luck in your next life!”
“James,honey,she’s been beaten to a pulp.Shall we go eat some barbecue to celebrate?”
She linked arms with James and walked away.
Thanks to their scheming,I was fired.
I thought I could tough it out.I had no power or influence,so I resigned myself to being the scapegoat, hoping the truth would eventually come out.
I was so naive.They weren't going to let me off the hook.
