‘The Forgotten Bride’ Synopsis:
It was the happiest day of her life…
Until it wasn’t.
Ten years ago, Olivia Lakewell disappeared on her wedding day—vanishing without a trace outside a sun-drenched Californian chapel. For a decade, she was held captive in a dark underground bunker, subjected to chilling psychological manipulation and psychological terror by a faceless monster who refused to reveal why.
Now, Olivia has escaped.
But freedom isn’t what she imagined. Her fiancé has moved on, her daughter barely remembers her, and her life—once filled with hope—is a haunting shell of what it was. As she tries to reclaim what’s hers, she’s thrust into a maze of secrets, betrayal, and lingering danger. Who took her? Why was she kept alive? And is the nightmare truly over?
This gripping mystery thriller is a masterclass in psychological suspense, abduction horror, and emotional drama. The Forgotten Bride is a tense psychological crime story that pulls you into the chilling mind games of a captor and the fight of a forgotten woman who refuses to stay buried.
