Description
Elara Maris Alcantara has spent years proving her worth in a world that never seems to notice her. She works harder, stays quieter, and endures more than most-because survival isn't about being exceptional, it's about persistence. But when a mistake is made while she's on leave, her name becomes the easiest one to blame. The people she thought were colleagues-her team lead, her supervisor, even her own teammate-conspired to erase their own failures, weaving a lie that threatens everything Elara has worked for. She has always swallowed injustices, burying them beneath silent endurance. But this time, silence won't protect her. For the first time, Elara must decide whether to fight for her truth or let herself become just another forgotten casualty in the corporate machine. Because if she lets this go-who will she become?
