The wife of David Beck, Elizabeth is an attorney who discovers that a wealthy man named Brandon Scope is really a drug dealer. When Elizabeth confronts Brandon with the information, he retaliates. Brandon breaks into Elizabeth's house and is killed, which prompts his father to order Elizabeth's murder. Elizabeth and David are attacked while visiting a favorite spot at Lake Charmaine, and David believes Elizabeth was murdered at that spot. In truth, she is taken by her father and uncle with the assurance that faking her death and hiding out is the only option that will keep David and her family safe from Scopes's attempts at revenge. Elizabeth agrees and spends the next eight years working with organizations around the world. When the two men who had been hired by Scopes to kill Elizabeth are found dead, Elizabeth realizes that her death will be in question. She uses the opportunity to return, searching for a way to safely contact David. Elizabeth is careful, but warns David that he'll probably be followed. He is, and Elizabeth plans to return to hiding, but decides that she can't leave until she knows David is safe. Elizabeth is a strong person, but her ties to her family are obviously strong enough that being forced to live away from them is difficult for her.
