Author: Joy Olokungboye
When an 18-year-old virgin decided to leave Louisiana, her home town for Texas, an alien town she was unaware that the journey of her independence would become one of longing for a man's love and attention. 
With her love built on a misconception, she was unaware that Charles Jackson, a multi-billionaire, the CEO of West Land airlines and heir to the Jackson Group of Companies was an egocentric, cold-hearted, proud and unforgiving man who locked his heart to love, the major aftermath of his grandmother's death.
She judged his sad reactions to the plane crash wrongly unaware that December has scared his heart.  It appeared that the plane crash became memorable either through breaking hearts or eventually mending them. Be it the crash itself or the incidences after the crash, it changed people's lives and Maureen was not left out. In readiness to be true to her love, Maureen ignored warnings and hit the wrong target. 
Will falling for Charles Jackson become her doom? Probably, as she became torn with the reality of life.

It was 11:30 a.m. when Airstay A245 MAX - one of West Land Airlines' passenger aeroplanes basked in the warmth of the clouds. 
Then suddenly, it developed a fault. The plane was to travel to Tokyo Narita (NRT), Japan 5,487 miles from Los Angeles (LAX), The United States but just around The North Pacific Ocean - a few kilometres from its destination, the pilots lost control over it. 
Tension sprawled in the plane and the passengers started panicking. The tension intensified as well as the panic and screams filled the plane through the voices of weeping children and yelling adults. 
Innocent babies cried as though they understood the gravity of the situation at hand, that they were all going to die. 
Mothers clutched at their children imagining the pain, torment and screams of them being burnt to ashes. Soon, the adult's cry of anguish overpowered that of the children.
All this took place in the early hours of Christmas Eve.
