Chapter 6: Prologue

"It hurts..."

My body aches... I'm unable to move... My body was crushed by rubble piles, making it difficult to breathe.

My throat feels dry, so I can't scream for help. My body feels numb, yet I can still smell my own blood...

I can hear screams and an ambulance siren...

My perceptions are fading... Is this how I'm going to die? I haven't accomplished anything yet... I just want to start a family... god... I don't want to die just yet. only not just yet... 

Life is fascinating; you will realise something significant as your life flashes back to the end. That everything you've worked for and accomplished pales in comparison to the important things you've ignored or rejected. It's strange how you begin to beg and plead for another chance in life.

My name was Kate Mitchell, and I am a successful businesswoman who owns a large company called Mitchell Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics, which is well-known throughout the United Kingdom. As the world's youngest pharmacologist and botanist, I've received numerous awards and made numerous contributions to science, earning the title of "the next Gertrude Elion."

But I was about to die. Bitter and alone.

My life is lonely, no matter how successful I am. I grew up without a so-called family because my mother died when I was nine years old and I never met my father. I grew up in a foster home until I realised that you have to stand up for yourself.

When I was 19, I joined the army and worked my way up. I studied and studied to become a pharmacologist and founded my own family, my company. I had everything I could ever want: fame, money, and the admiration of many. But it wouldn't last....I thought I had everything I ever wanted, that I didn't need a family to come home to because I was used to being alone.

I spend all of my time at work and travelling; I rarely come home because no one except my maids and employee is waiting for me. I was at the top of my game, and I dated several guys, but nothing came of it because I don't like the idea of committing to a relationship.

Then, one day after breaking up with my three-month relationship, I travel to Jerusalem for an annual conference for world-renowned pharmacologists; it would have been the pinnacle of my career, but unforeseen circumstances occur. A deadly earthquake strikes Jerusalem, and I will not survive; I only wish, with regret, that I could have a real family to mourn my death, or even someone who loves me for me...

Until everything went completely black....
