Amelia Hayes Bishop had a perfect life: a successful career as an architect, a beautiful home, and a decade-long marriage to her college sweetheart, Ethan. Their upcoming weekend at their Galveston beach house was meant to reignite their flagging romance. But Amelia had secretly uncovered Ethan' s embezzlement of her family' s renovation funds and his affair with his ambitious PR assistant, Savi Carter. The true horror struck just before their trip, when Amelia overheard Ethan chillingly plot her "tragic accident" at sea to secure her inheritance. On the boat, amidst a manufactured squall, Ethan watched her succumb to the waves, making no move to save her. Washed ashore miles down the coast, Amelia discovered the world believed her dead, and Ethan, feigning grief, publicly painted her as unstable. Savi, his mistress, brazenly stood by his side as he swiftly moved to liquidate Amelia' s assets, erasing her very existence. How could the man she loved be so monstrous? How could he so expertly twist the narrative, making her the villain, while he and his mistress moved into her life, unburdened? The injustice burned, transforming her grief into a chilling, unbreakable rage. Recognizing the immediate danger of revealing herself, Amelia made a terrifying choice: she would remain "dead." Adopting a new identity, Anna Smith, she vowed to meticulously dismantle Ethan's empire from the shadows, returning only when his carefully constructed world was ready to crumble. This wasn't just survival; it was a resurrection fueled by a silent, deadly promise of reckoning.
