Claire Bennett, once an award-winning photographer, has been married to cardiothoracic surgeon Adrian Cole for five years. For the sake of their marriage, Claire closed her photography studio, gave up a job opportunity in New York, and became a full-time wife.

Overwhelmed and hopeless, she briefly schedules a consultation related to ending the pregnancy, but changes her mind at the last moment. After Vanessa learns about the pregnancy, she crosses the line and tries to interfere. During an argument, Claire is accidentally injured and loses the baby. Later, because of Vanessa’s personal bias, treatment for Claire’s abnormal bleeding is delayed, nearly costing Claire her life. Even then, Adrian instinctively continues to defend Vanessa. Completely disillusioned, Claire leaves Boston, picks up her camera again, and sets out along Route 66. As she fulfills her father’s

On her wedding day, her brother Ethan brought home a woman named Lydia, who claimed to be their long-lost sister. Ethan turned Claire’s wedding into a welcome party for Lydia. He also allowed Lydia to take Claire’s clothes, her place in the family, and even her fiancé. Claire was sent to a remote town for three years to be “taught a lesson.” By the time Ethan brought her home, years of abuse had left her with terminal stomach cancer. She had only seven days left to live. After returning to the Sterling family, Claire continued to suffer humiliation from Ethan, her former fiancé Alexander, and Lydia. The wedding gown her mother had left her was torn apart. Her mother’s grave was dug up, and Claire was forced to swallow some of her mother’s ashes.

They desperately investigated the truth and punished those responsible, but they could never regain Claire’s trust.
