The Housewife Falls, the SKY QUEEN Rises

Victoria Hale was once an ace Air Force pilot, decorated and celebrated, until a crash stole her memory and left her bleeding in the wilderness. Three years later, she knows only the life Ethan Moore gave her—a life of cooking, cleaning, and raising the baby she gave birth to a month ago. At the child's party, his benefactor Lily humiliates Victoria at every turn, calling her a lazy housewife who knows nothing but folding clothes. When Victoria finally pushes back, Ethan slaps her across the face and demands she apologize. The betrayal cuts deeper when Ethan snatches the watch from his own wrist and smashes it—the only clue to Victoria's lost family, a watch from a brand no one else wears. He mocks her, telling her her family is probably starving to death and she should be grateful he fed her—ignoring the fact that for three years Victoria cooked every meal herself.

A fever sends Victoria rushing their baby to the hospital, but Ethan ignores her call from his office, where he's with Lily. At the hospital, she finds his number unanswered and walks into his office—only to discover Ethan and Lily together. Furious, she demands a divorce. Lily has already swapped the warning sign on the maintenance elevator, and Victoria steps into it. The car plummets. In the free fall, her body remembers the sensation of her plane spiraling out of control—and every memory she lost comes rushing back. She emerges from the wreckage knowing exactly who she is. Meanwhile, the soldier who gave her a ride in the rain spots the Hail watch in his SUV. The name Viper forms on his lips. He saw a woman who looked just like the legendary pilot everyone believed was dead—and now the watch confirms it. Victoria is Captain Victoria Hale, call sign Viper, and every single person who broke her will answer for it.
