After losing all hope, she quietly feigns death, sells all her assets, travels to a small town in Northern Europe, and gives birth to her daughter, Mia, alone. On the wedding day, Ethan receives news of her death, is implicated by new evidence, sees his fortune plummet, and is abandoned by everyone around him.
