Veronica went from college boyfriend-girlfriend to husband and wife with Jonathan Rollings. They got married and on Jonathan’s request, kept their marriage a secret. He even gave her a silver band saying one day he would change it to a diamond ring. 
Two years after their marriage, Jonathan met Imelda who promised to help him build his business for a favor. 
Fulfilling this favor, seven years have passed by. 
Today, she’s still legally married to Jonathan Rollings, now one of the city's most powerful men, yet she serves wine at his parties in a server's uniform while Imelda openly calls him her fiance. Not only this, to the world, her husband is dead. 
Even her daughter cannot call her father Jonathan and must call him “Mr. Rollings”, while Imelda’s son calls him “dad” in public. 
She has endured it all in silence, hoping one day he will accept them in public. 
But after seven years of silence, she gives up. 
Behind Veronica’s back, something else was quietly unraveling. Marriage records changed, money she never received, correspondence she never heard of. 
Imelda didn’t want to make Jonathan forget Veronica, she was erasing her from his life.
But when she saw not only her health but her daughter’s life was also affected, she decided to give up and stop sacrificing anymore. 
Now, with a countdown running, Veronica decides to give Jonathan the last chance to choose her or Imelda, and finally she takes the decision. 
Some could lose everything they thought they were protecting. Some will find they never left them. And one woman, who was a secret for seven years, will become a truth no one can deny.
Veronica survived being erased. The only question is, whether Jonathan can see through Imelda’s schemes and win his love, Veronica, back or not.

I was on my way to the council chamber when the River representative called me.


My informer had told me Alex had gone to meet the council and offered to be the acting admin until Jonathan could take over.


But the River representative was opposing this, as the River admin could only be the legal River heir or someone he agreed with, and the representative knew Alex was not one of them.


As I entered, Alex was seated calmly with folded arms as the council head and the River representative debated whether to allow Alex to be the acting admin.


I exhaled as I realized this decision would not only affect Jonathan but the entire River inheritance.


"Mr. Vance," the council head said as he saw me.


"Good that you came. Now you can state your point of view as well."


I was about to speak, but Alex got up instead.


"Mr. Vance," he said as he pushed a folder toward me.


"These are documents proving my inheritance."
