Part I: Meet Vicky—a college graduate, physiotherapist, veteran, and expert skydiver living in the UK. Life was good; she cherished the serenity and freedom that skydiving brought her. Things took a turn for the better when she met the charming and handsome Sergeant Emile Cilliers of the Royal Air Force Physical Training Corps. He swept her off her feet, and they married two years later. Shortly after their wedding, they welcomed their first child. However, a troubling change began to unfold. Emile, who was once loving and attentive, became distant, distracted, and short-tempered. Vicky recognized the signs and suspected that he was lying, possibly even cheating. She was terribly hurt and desperate to understand what had gone wrong and what she could do to fix it. But nothing could have prepared her for the shocking turn her life was about to take. Immerse yourself in Part 1 'We Just Clicked" where the beginning of Vicky's struggle to survive starts.
