Story

The story

On the day Lily Smith and Shane Jackson register their marriage, his secretary Joanna Rogers pushes her from a building. Lily loses her baby, fractures two ribs, and slips into a coma. Shane keeps a devoted vigil, telling everyone she is his only wife. But when no one watches, he presses Joanna against the hospital bed, blaming her for the child he and Lily never had and demanding she repay them.

Three years later, Lily wakes to a body that will not obey her. She can only lie silent as Shane and Joanna carry on beside her, and as Joanna reveals she is pregnant with Shane's child. Shane lays Lily's hand on Joanna's stomach, calling himself a father-to-be, while Joanna hides her triumph behind a nurse's smile. Lily feigns ignorance, swallowing her rage and the soup Joanna makes her drink.

Shane plans an engagement party to show the world his luckiest bride, while Joanna bargains for forgiveness after the birth. Trapped in her own body, Lily must decide how long she can keep pretending not to know.
