Stubborn Wife

“Physical injury. The Hub Makati,” Tobias muttered, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone as soon as they went back into her unit. “So, you went there last night?”

Yes, the same night when you pushed me away after kissing me, Minah wanted to say that but she refrained.

Kirst Sanders wanted to see her—the only condition the man wanted from her and he'll withdraw the case according to the police who already headed out after Tobias told them to.

Minah scoffed, the jerk thought she was frightened by him. Anyway, she would still come but not beg before him. She would never yield to some asshole like Kirst.

Minah had already taken a shower before the doorbell rang. She just had to get dressed and put some makeup on. She was a ramp model slash actress slash endorser, she could not just strut her way to the police station with her Harley Quinn pajamas.

    Protective Wife Kirst Sander and his lawyer weren't the only ones waiting for Minah inside the precinct. Senator Rosales and his wife were also there. The latter was giving her an obvious dirty look by the time she walked in. Aldin stood right away the moment she entered the office. Kirst was also eyeing her. There was a bandage plastered on his left brow and his grin was lopsided. Minah sat calmly on a vacant spot next to Aldin, across from Kirst. The chubby chief officer cleared his throat. He was about to open his mouth to say something when Minah's phone rang. It was Nathaniel. He said he was on his way to the police station. “You don’t have to come,” she told him. “Listen first…” the lad said then proceeded to explain something. After hearing his intent, she hung up the call. The chief cleared his throat once more. “For sure you already know why you're being summoned here, Mrs. De Marco. Mrs. Rosales wanted to talk with you about her nephew's complaint... If both parties

    Turn of the Tide “Mommy…” A small, frightened, and sobbing Angel's voice woke Minah up from her sleep the next day. When she opened her eyes and gazed at the bed, Tobias was no longer there. All she could see was Angel, rocking her head side to side. The kid choked a sob and her hands were up in the air, seemingly reaching for something or perhaps, someone. She must be dreaming. “Mommy…” she called once again, murmuring. “It hurts…” Yawning, Minah got up from the couch after pulling the heavy comforter off of her. Where did Tobias go? How could he leave his child alone in this state? She dragged her feet towards Angel, about to shake her shoulders to wake her up but Angel caught her hands and held it tightly. “I’m scared, Mommy. Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me, please…” she cried softly, begging. Her voice sounded so frightened. Minah blinked. She felt something stuck in her throat while staring at Angel lying down on the bed, teary-eyed. Memories of Leigh suddenly arose within

    The Devil in Danger Minah overheard Tobias and Angel's conversation by the time she entered the room. Angel was sitting on the hospital bed. She had a cup of Starbucks coffee in hand Tobias bought early on. “It’s gotten cold now, Daddy. Why didn't you give it to mommy yet?” “How do you know it’s for mom?” Tobias asked. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. Minah took a deep sigh. Mom. Beats her, but it warms her heart especially if it came from Tobias’s mouth. Angel lifted the cup she was holding and pointed something with her finger. “It says ‘wife’… And it’s a latte.” Wife? Shit. How come she didn't see that? Had she not let her pride get the best of her, she would have accepted the coffee. Tobias's gentle smile flashed on his lips. “Why do you like her so much?” he asked his child. “Because you like her so much.” Minah's heart began to thump like crazy. Her eyes shifted to Tobias. She saw how the small smile on his lips faded and turned into a forced beam. Afterward, he m

    Passionate Kiss Minah shook her head, trying to snap back to her senses. She was sure the knife pierced through her dress and cut her skin. She checked on herself. She knew she was bleeding from her waist though she wasn’t sure how deep the cut was from an initial glance. Her eyes squinted as she pursed her lips. How dare this son of a bitch stab her?! The man positioned himself, gripping the knife properly. From forward grip edge out to reverse, she knew he was planning to finish her off. She shivered at the thought. She already had a clue who ordered this man to kill her. For the very first time after such a long while, Minah feared for her life. How will she be able to seek justice for Leigh's death if she dies? Also, she's yet to give Angel a chance to experience a mother's love. And Tobias... she hadn't figured out just yet the reason behind why he married her.Minah used to say that she was no damsel in distress; that she doesn't need a man to rescue her because she was mold

    Truce Damara pushed his hand away from her neck. She must have gone mental for a moment. Now she had come to her senses, shame washed over her. She needed to cover up the feelings she felt for her husband that had slowly been exposed. She wasn't feeling under the weather. She was burning up not because she was ill or because of the cut, but more because she was in heat. Like a she-wolf mated to its Alpha. She wanted Tobias. The thought made Minah want to slap her face. She blinked her eyes, trying to keep cool. “The kiss… You should have not—” “I know,” Tobias cut her. His eyes met hers. “I’m sorry I took advantage.” She felt guilty. It wasn't his fault, it was her who initiated the kiss and all he did was respond. But wait. Guilt? Since when did she have that kind of feeling? The last time she checked, all she cared about was herself. Tobias straightening himself up. “L-leave, I can take care of myself,” said she, trying not to let the man's charm get the best of her. But T

    Family Angel raced towards her as soon as Minah got off the car. She greeted her with a hug. She tried her best not to curse out loud when the kid's head accidentally hit her injury. “You kept your promise!” she glanced up at her, happiness flickered in her eyes while Minah couldn't express her face well due to sudden pain. She tried her best to cover her side, struggling not to wince. Tobias in a subtlest way possible, gently pulled his daughter away from her.“I thought you weren’t coming,” Angel said, still looking up at her. Tobias was holding her hand so that she wouldn't charge again with another hug. Minah forced a smile, removed her hand from her wound, and stared down at Angel who looked genuinely happy.“Is there anything I can do to make up for being late? Like a hearty breakfast tomorrow morning? Or going to a mall together? What do you want?” “Ahm, can I sleep over?” Minah thought about it for a moment. “Sure.” “Not tonight—” Tobias tried to butt in.

But instead of showing her humiliation, she even clung to her husband's arms as soon as she got closer to him.There was no violent reaction coming from Tobias, but the pair of dark eyes that bore into hers were intense and penetrating that she would want to look away.But not this time.

He favored you more than I and he did everything he could to protect you and your career.” Minah’s smile was wry. Protect her? Her career was more likely the one he was trying to protect. “I figured out through Innif that you'd be coming back to the Philippines and I thought Night was here to keep tabs on you,” she added. “Hoping I’ll have the opportunity to meet him again, I booked a flight to follow him, too. Same flight as you.” Crap. This bitch was obsessed with Night. It made her realize that he was the reason why Jay-Dee didn’t like her from the get-go. She considered her a threat that could steal her man away. “I trailed you down for the past few months, waiting for him to finally show up. But he did not, not even once, right? Even when you got married to a different man, he never show

    Minah was in the warden's office. She was sitting in the middle of the room, crossing her legs as she waited for the man to come into the room for ten minutes already. She was the very first person who visited Vincent in prison ever since the judge sentenced him of his crimes—that he'll forever rot in jail. “What the fuck are you doing here?” the guy immediately groaned as soon as he saw her inside. He was about to head back to the door but he was stopped on his track when the cell guard motioned him to get back inside. “I don't want to talk with this bitch. Bring me back to my cell right now…” But instead of letting him out, the guard moved and left the room to themselves without a word. “Dammit! Where the fuck are you going?!” Vincent screamed. He was doing that for seconds before ending up kicking the door in frustration. He then turned to her with his venomous eyes. Vincent looked like a mess now. Far from the one who blocked her way to the front gate of the Fuego mansion wit

They were the ones who hired Jay-Dee to be part of Bold & Beautiful four years ago. Nathaniel bought the company from his Thai friend although, in the end, they kept the latter's name in the contract as the owner.

The Tempted Wear was established by Tobias along with his brother Gian just a few years ago.

    It was love Six months later Barcelona, Spain It was around sunset and Minah was at the beach, watching the beautiful waves crashing onto the calm shore. The air was breezy, blowing off the hem of her clothes and her hair which she let untied. It hadn't reached eight hours yet when her plane landed in Spain from the Philippines. After checking in at the hotel while she stayed in Barcelona, she decided to get out of her suite and take a stroll along the place's pride, the white sand beach. She could not stand being in the room all alone. It was calm, however, the silence was quite deafening for her. Six long, lonely months had passed, and yet, Minah felt like the pain, guilt, and agony in her heart didn’t even subside. She left the person who she thought she'll never lose. Angel, Tobias, and her baby… She could still vividly remember how her heart stopped beating when she found out her baby was gone. She was supposed to grieve, and let her tears flow, because as they say, that

The people who attended the funeral dressed in all white turned their heads to the newcomer, especially when the door opened. A pair of feet-wearing elegant and famous Stuart Weitzman high heels emerged from the driver's seat. When a fair-skin woman appeared right before them, a collective whisper from the attendees began to flood the entire place. The woman was wearing a classy midi black dress and an oversized wide-brimmed hat that covered almost half of her face. Aside from her pointed and pretty nose bridge, the only thing that was more apparent was her lips in bright red lipstick. But those people didn’t need to see her whole face to recognize who she was. Minah was holding a bouquet of black roses in her other hand. Her free hand was slid into her pocket. Whispers became much louder this time. some were exchanging glances every time she stepped closer, drawing the distance between

    Pregnant Minah heaved out a huge sigh while waiting for the elevator to reach the floor she was going to where her hotel room was. She was checking in at a four-star hotel around Mandaluyong ever since she left the condo unit that Tobias and Nathaniel bought for her. She's got body pain and a slight fever again as she drove back home from the Fuego Building yesterday. It seemed like she'd go down with the flu for real this time for doing a bunch of things at once. She felt dizzy while she bought some medicines at the drugstore she'd dropped by. She had taken some Ibuprofen and Chlorphenamine maleate before she hit the road again. Although her body pain had slightly gotten better, however, she felt physically weak and flabby this time around. By the time she reached the hallway of that certain floor, she immediately saw Nathaniel. He was sitting on the carpeted floor and his back was leaning against the wall of her hotel room. Déjà vu. It felt like she had already encountered the s

    Justice Served Tobias stared at his wristwatch, quarter to seven. Was Minah awake already? Had she had breakfast? Was she feeling better now? She didn't let Tan in last night. He was itching to press the passcode of her unit but he knew he had to stop himself from doing so. Barging in right now might piss her off again. They needed to talk over it because he had so many things to explain to her. Shortly after, he finally decided to get into her unit when he was beginning to suspect that maybe she wasn't there anymore. He tried to track her down using his phone but the result was she was still in her room. Tobias transferred to their unit, replaying the footage last night. His heart ached when he watched the confrontation she had with Nathaniel. A few minutes passed after Minah told them to leave her off, and she went back to her unit. She finally appeared on the screen, all dressed up, and was holding a suitcase in her hand. She was talking to someone over the phone but their co

    Vengeance Nathaniel clenched his jaw. Minah was provoking him to pull the trigger, he knew. The woman’s voice was harsh, cold, and icy; they matched the mean expression on her color-drained face. If Nathaniel didn't know her for a long time, he'd have believed every word her mouth spat. That she lacked conscience and mercy and had zero remorse for all the crimes she committed. But he knew her through and through. He knew that she was only torturing every bit of herself at this very moment. He could see how pale she looked now that she was bare-faced. He knew she was trying so hard to hide the pain and havoc in her heart but she couldn’t hide the agony in her eyes. She was weak, desolated, and scared, yet she still managed to look like a woman with an indomitable spirit. Minah experienced nothing but betrayal these past few weeks, and as heartless as Nathaniel thought he was, he needed to add more to her suffering. But Jesus! He felt sick knowing that he was causing this woman a

    Nathaniel Cassandra was now taken into custody. Sitting on a gang chair across from Mrs. Dub was Minah who was silent 'till now. She may dislike the idea of being in the same space with Tobias, but when Angel clung to her and begged her to come with them, she had no choice but to get into his car. They took her to the hospital for medico-legal and to conduct a general checkup as well. Tobias was not speaking a word, too. But even then, Minah could tell that he was putting blame on himself. He was probably thinking right now that he was such an irresponsible parent for not being able to tend to Angel. She wanted to comfort him, thinking that she was able to hit him back in the pool. But she refrained from doing so. She was in no position to do that. They were not a married couple—not even friends. In Tobias’ eyes, she was his enemy. The nurse came in and informed them that Angel had to be brought into a CT scan room immediately. Tobias glanced at her, with Angel sleeping on his sh

    The Hero Minah was clutching the pouch that was sitting on her lap way too hard as if she could gather the air she'd be needing later on there. A taunting smile was still plastered across Vincent's lips while his eyes remained focused on her. Ava on the other hand was giving her an “I-told-you-you-can’t-mess-with-us-bitch” glare, seemingly proud about what her brother was doing to her. Isabel seemed bewildered, for sure she didn't have a clue about Vincent's plan at all. Neither did Juan Miguel and Margaux. They had no idea about what lay behind her calm state at the moment. “Vincent, what does Damara mean? Can anyone here explain to us what’s happening?” Margaux asked. When she got no replies from anybody, the old woman stared at her, confused. “Hija, I don't quite follow.” Minah took her time rising to her feet even though itchiness slowly began to crawl all over her body. It was only a matter of minutes before the rashes became visible, that soon, she'll have a hard time brea
