Her Death Was Step One / The Warmth Left with Her

Lana Axley's mother dies for "ruining" a dress—tortured and drowned by the vindictive Aria Stetson. Worse, Aria's defense attorney is Lana's husband, Liam Gray, who abandoned his own family to be with Lana and now demands that she sign an apology letter. Refusing to be broken, Lana pretends to surrender while secretly building her case. With evidence secured, she fakes her death and begins her calculated revenge.
