PART ONE.

In beautiful April month of the year of our god 1912, the same excitement waves were surrounding the all nations throughout the world. Eventually Royal Mail SteamerTitanic would leave for its maiden voyage .Four years ago, on March 31, 1908 Titanic was started to be construced and it was completed on March 31, 1912 .It was the largest man-made object on the world ever moved. It was the challenge of the human to the nature. There was a gym, a pool, a french restaurant in the ship. Titanic was the ship of dreams and everbody was waiting Titanic's cutting off at Southhampton.

On April 10, Wednesday, at 7:30 a.m., Captain Edward J. Smith boarded the Titanic with his crew. At 9:30 am , second and third class passengers boarded the ship. Finally at 11.30 first class passengers started to board. A young lady, Brooke Logan and her mother Elizabeth were also escorted to their superluxe cabins as important first class passengers. They were returning home,USA. Mrs Logan was so glad about it because after her husband's death, the family has lost all of its money and she was so afraid of losing the comfortable , luxurious life she was accustomed to. Then she has found a solution: Ridge Forrester.

Forresters were a very rich and noble family. They had Forrester Creations and it was providing them a huge power throughout the States. A year ago, head of the family Eric decided to open a store in London, then with his wife Stephanie and eldest son Ridge, he travelled to London. They were working to build good relationships in London's commercial life. In a formal reception they met Mrs and Miss Logan. Ridge fell in love with Brooke at first sight and wished to marry her immediately. Stephanie made an investigation and found that Mr Steven Logan was a good merchant from LA, and was doing trade between USA and Great Britain.

Actually, Steven has come to London to borrow some money, and he was dead suddenly. Beth was horrified and while she tried to get some help Ridge Forrester has arrived unexpectedly. She didn'd lose even one second and engaged her daugter to him at once. By this way, she thought, she and her daughter were saved from poverty and it was enough for Beth. She never asked Brooke about her idea.

 Eventually, on April the 10^th Wednesday they were returning home with the magnificient Titanic. When they boarded to ship, Beth was so happy and Brooke seemed to be happy as well. Outside, she looked like a calm, noble,young lady but inside she was screaming. She had a brave heart full of life, however her rebellious soul was imprisoned in a corset, and she didn't want to return home because when they were home, Ridge would be her husband and Brooke was afraid of her future with him.Brooke was not in love with him ,however, her mother never talked about this little problem. Beth and Ridge wanted this marriage and they weren't giving the Bride any right to reveal her true feelings.

There is another one who didn't want this marriage too: Stephanie Forrester. After they settled in their cabins she ordered her servant to bring some tea, sat beside Eric and while they were drinking tea with precious chinese porcelain cups, she tried to convince her husband. "Eric, do you approve Ridge's decision?" "What decision Stephanie?" "I mean, do you think Brooke is proper to our family? To our son?" "Stephanie, of course she is! You know she has a good, well known name and more important than this ,our son loves her.I think you shouldn't worry about this." "But Eric, how can you say this? You know as well as me ,we had another plans! Ridge should have been engaged to Caroline Spencer! She deserves to be our bride, she is a Spencer. But that little valley girl..." "Stephanie, that little valley girl will be our son's wife and wherever she is from, inside her, she is worthy of being a Forrester. She is a good girl Stephanie." " I am not as sure as you." "What are you talking about?" "Oh Eric! Those Logans! They are just simple merchants. I admit that I despise them, they are not noble", After these words Eric felt so uneasy, he stood up and hold her hands.Short and definately he said "Stephanie, I dont't want you to say it again, understand?" . However, she was looking in his eyes persistently. "It is not important what I say Eric, because I never change my mind! Brooke Logan is NOT deserving to be a Forrester." Eric was really angry now, he opened his mouth but cannot talk because there was someone on the door.

"Father?" Stephanie saved herself from Eric and walked to her dear son ."Ridge ,come here, dear" Young man hugged his mother then asked "Did you like your cabins? Are you okay?" Eric nodded "Yes, Ridge, we made ourselves at home, this ship is as comortable as our mansion" Stephanie disagreed him "Oh, no. Not so much Ridge. The ship is just not so bad." Young man laughed with bewilderment. "Not so bad? Oh, come on mother! This is the most luxurious ship of the world. And most reliable of course. We are going home with an unsinkable ship." Stephanie laughed. "Every ship may sink, son." "Yes, mom, but Titanic may not! Even God himself cannot sink Titanic" Then Ridge smiled. "Alright, I am glad you are well. I just wanted to have a look at, now I should visit MrsLogan and Brooke, I want to make sure that they are okay too." Stephanie said mockingly "Oh don't worry honey. I am sure that they feel like they are in a palace.They shouldn't have been such good places too much." Ridge knitted his brows. "Mother, please. You shouldn't talk like that. She is my fiancée and will be my wife soon." "Does she know how lucky she is?" "The lucky one is me mother, when you know her well, you'll see how cute she is and understand how correct decision I made. Now.." He kissed her mother "...I am better to control if she is good. I'll see you soon, right? And father I shall talk to you later " "Alright dear" said Stephanie worried , Eric was anxious, while his son leaving, he thought that "I hope Stephanie don't break their hearts." But since he knew his wife well, he was not so hopeful.

At 1:00 p.m. Titanic's legendary maiden voyage eventually began. Although Forresters and Logans were resting in their cabins, hundreds of people were on the deck, while the ship was casting off, waving their hands and handkerchiefs to say goodbye to their families, friends, children and lovers on the port of Southhampton. Human voices were interrupted by Titanic's sharp whistle and seagulls' cheerful screams. Everybody was happy,,excited and hopeful. That was really the ship of dreams.

Titanic was towed from dock by several tugs, she passed the English Channel downstream and turned her route to Cherbourg, France. At 6:30 pm she arrived Cherburg Harbour and at 8:00 the rest of passengers were aboard. Ten minutes later Titanic left for Queenstown, Ireland.

One of the passengers who boarded from Cherbourg was an interesting lady called Sally Spectra. Her husband has found a gold-mine thus they have become so rich and famous. That woman will have called as Unsinkable Sally in the future.

This was the first night in the voyage. First class passengers dressed very formal to join the dinner. Stephanie wore a black satin night gown ornamented with handmade laces, and Beth was wearing another long, black dress but Brooke was incredible. A few hours ago, when Ridge came to saw her, he has given her a new dress. A very décolleté, blood-red velvet evening gown which wrapped her very tightly and showed her beauty generously. While they were going downstaires along the splendid staircase of Titanic, all heads were turning to them. They were forming a dazzling couple. Ridge was so glad and proud, yet, same thing couldnot be said for Brooke. She thought "He bought me and now he's exhibiting me just like one of his paintings. How can I be in such a dishonoured state?" She wished from her heart that her dear father wouldn't have been dead.

In the dining room, Forresters had important guests on their table: Capitain Smith, Bruce Ismay ,one of the owners of Titanic and head of the White Star Line, and Thomas Andrews, builder of Titanic. Sally Spectra also joined that outstanding group making Stephanie horrified. She hated Sally from the first second he saw her. Stephanie though that Sally was a parvenu and had no crumb of nobility.

When Ridge and Brooke arrived the table, they welcomed with exclamations of admiration , while Brooke sat down, Eric said "Brooke, you look amazing" She thanked him but compliments didn't stop. Bruce Ismay said "Miss Logan, you are like a valuable jewelery that adorn Titanic" Then Thomas Andrews smiled "That's true Miss Logan, you wonderfully suit to Titanic" "Thank you gentlemen" said her kindly but Stephanie didn't let her feel good. They were sitting side by side, thus Stephanie bent ovet Brooke's ear and whispered very harshly "You shouldn't be wearing this!" Brooke was shocked. "But why? What is wrong MrsForrester?" Stephanie smiled with despise "A Forrester Lady never wears such a cheap thing! It doesn't cover even your breast. Who do you think you are? Young Sally Spectra.?" The room started to turn around Brooke, she couldn't hear what people were saying, the faces surrounding her were waving and mixing each other. She was like living in a nightmare.And she was thinking that she couldn't stand anymore. Brooke would never give up, and now, she wouldn't let those people ruin her life, she started to thinking about the solutions.

Engineer Thomas Andrews' voice cut her thinking, he was saying "Miss Logan, you look very thoughtful tonight" Brooke nodded and showed him her sweet smile, and at the moment she lookedai to his eyes, there was a flash of lightning in her brain. She found something,! And she started to thinking on that plan."From now on", she said, "nobody can prevent me to do this, nobody!"

PART TWO.

After the main plates, Brooke excused herself for a minute. "Would you like me to come with you my dear?" Ridge asked. Brooke was afraid that her plan is failing. "No, no, thank you. I'll be back in a minute." Then she walked slowly to the beautiful gate of the dining room. the men on the table couldn't keep their eyes from her . When her red silhouette disappeared, Mr Andrews smiled meaningfully and said "I have to congratulate you Ridge. She is really wonderful." Ridge's face shined with proud and happiness. "yes" he said, "She really is.." It was lucky for him not to see Stephanie's face.

brooke was walking slowly but she got faster and faster as she got far from the dining room and eventually she started running. She was crying and sobbing and she rushed to the back deck of Titanic. When she arrived the very back of the ship, he hug the pillar and look at the ocean. It was cold, so cold, and she was feeling the cool breeze on her face, the ocean was looking so dark and as endless.  She took a deep breath ans stepped through the handles. She climbed to the top and stepped to other side. now she was just hanging on to the handles and there was nothing between her and the dark ocean.

Brooke tried to guess how easily she dies when she jumps. But her thoughts were cut by a sweet voice. "Please do not do that." Brooke was horrified. When she looked at the source of the voice, she saw a lady wearing a long , strange dress and a veil. Brooke was so afraid of that scene. her mouth was dried and it was like  there were butterflies in her stomach.

"Don't get closer" Brooke cried. "Or I'll let go.." "Please do not do that."  said the lady again, and she got closer to Brooke. "How do you think you will die? The water..." Brooke cut her word "water is so cold, I'll be dead in a second, please get out of here , you are disturbing me..." The lady got even closer. Now Brooke could see her wonderful , beautiful eyes. Her eyes were blue as sapphire, and they were shining with understanding and compassion.

"No" said the lady. "It will take much longer. And it will be more painful. you will feel the cold water on every piece of your body. You will feel like countless knives are cutting you. And you will be aware of every second of it. So please , do not do that." Brooke started crying again. That affected the lady more than anything Brooke could say. Tears gathered on her charming eyes. "How could you be in despair that much? What tragedy could bring you here the edge like that? How can you stop fighting and climb there instead of me?" Brooke was stunned. "You? B..B..But, what happened to you? And why are you wearing a veil?" The lady's eyes became pensive. "I was kidnapped" she whispered. "I was kidnapped and raped by a Morroccan Sheik. He changed my name as Leila and kept me in his palace. I was a slave of him, he used me over and over again,  I lost my everything, my honor, my freedom....But I didn't think of jumping into the ocean once. I only dreamed to escape and revenge!!!. Now I am here, I escaped and I am going home...But you are hanging over there ...Can't you see how foolish is that?"

Brooke was ashamed. She had one last look at the ocean and turned her back. The lade came her side and hold her hand while she was climbing back over the handles to the ship. When Brooke stepped to the deck safely, she hugged the lady. "Thank you, thank you very much. " They cried together, then brooke looked at her eyes. "Who are you?" The lady raised her head and took her vail slowly. when her face appeared Brooke's eyes were dazzled of her beauty. There were golden reflections in her long brown hair, her lips were red and sweet and her sapphire eyes were shining. "My name is Hayes" the lady said ."Taylor Hamilton Hayes. I am the daughter of Thomas hamilton, famous landowner of Los Angeles.
