Chapter 1 Prologue
Tori had a wide smile on her face as she rode in her parents' car. They had just returned from her Aunt Sol's house, who happened to be her father's younger sister. They visited her because she was due to give birth next week.
She gazed out of the window, feeling the cool breeze on her smooth, white face.
"Dear," her mother called from beside her father, who was at the wheel.
"Yes, ma?" she replied.
"You'll be graduating next year. Have you already considered which company you'd like to work for?"
"Why? I plan to work with you. We have a family business, and that's where I want to focus."
"But dear, your mom and I would like you to refine your skills in another company. Of course, you'll still help us, especially since our business is still small," her father explained.
"Okay, I'll look into it," Tori agreed.
She was eager to contribute to her parents' business and develop her skills there.
Their speed increased.
"Dear, we only want what's best for you because we love you," her mother said while holding Tori's right hand.
Tori placed her left hand on her mother's hand. "I know, mom. That's why I thank God for giving me to you."
"We love you very much, dear. Always remember that," said her father.
"I love you and mom very much too," she replied, planting kisses on her parents' cheeks.
Her parents exchanged smiles for a moment.
"Always remember to pray and thank God, my dear."
Tori nodded and shared a smile with her mother.
"Now, pray, my child," her father said as they continued to accelerate.
"Pa, ma, why are we going so fast?" Tori's heart rate increased along with the car's speed.
"I can't slow down, Tori," her father calmly stated.
"We're going to crash, dear."
"No! Mom!" she exclaimed. Tori didn't know what to do. They had just discussed her future, and now it felt uncertain. It seemed as though God would take them away.
"Pray," her parents said simultaneously.
And so, she prayed.
"God, You are our strength and Savior. You are our King and Salvation. Thank You for everything that has happened in our lives. Thank you for Your unconditional love.
God, Thy will be done.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
Even after her prayer, Tori didn't open her eyes. Their situation hadn't changed as they sped along. The rapid pounding of her heart had ceased. In that moment, she surrendered everything to God. He would decide what came next, and Tori was prepared to accept it.
"Oh dear," she heard her mother whisper just before the car's horn blared, but it couldn't prevent the accident that would alter the course of her life.
