Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Four: Before the Wedding
Everything happened so swiftly that Minah was unable to gasp even when she felt the wooden cabinet pressed against her exposed back.How did Tobias get into her unit? And why did he suddenly crash into her house and hug her just like that without warning? She tried her best to squirm. Panic rushed through her. The fact that she was almost naked added more to her anxiety. Not only that, the idiot was holding her so close, she could inhale that achingly familiar manly scent of his.Her breast was leaning flat against Tobias' hard chest. It was as though there was some kind of insect that tickled her gut. Their situation, being that close to one another, had sent her a sense of euphoria and oddness she could not understand. Tobias gripped her wrist tightly as she tried to push him away. “Get off me, you perverted bastard!” she exclaimed. Although his eyes were warning her, he spoke in an amused tone. “I get it that you had a euphonious voice and that you’re seductive and ravishing, bu
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Five: Just Got Married
Standing right next to the altar was Tobias, who had been waiting for the ceremony to start. It has been more than half an hour already. How are they supposed to start if the bride was nowhere in sight? Whispers coming from the guests had gone loud. Some even tried to reach Damara's phone. But it always directed them to an automated voice generator. Nobody answered the telephone in her condo unit and according to the staff, Minah had left her unit since last night. Tobias remained calm. His face showed no emotions, however, his parents looked rather tense. Carol was fidgeting. Leandro kept glancing at his wristwatch. His brother, Gian, the best man of his wedding, kept giving him light pats on his shoulders from time to time, silently telling him to relax. On the corner was Juan Miguel whose face has turned pale. Just like his parents, the bride's father was looking tense. On the flip side, Vincent was grinning whereas Ava kept staring at the groom.Tobias was confident Damara wou
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Six: The She-Devil's Wedding
“Welcome, family and friends. We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the marriage of Maria Damara Fuego and Tobias De Marco. This is not the beginning of a new relationship but an acknowledgment of the next chapter in their lives together…” Tobias edged closer to her, whispering. “They keep staring at your cleavage. You aren’t even wearing a bra. You're in the church, for goodness’ sake, Damara,” he said sharply. Minah rolled her eyes. Tobias couldn't stand seeing her almost revealing her soul in front of the priest and a couple of sacristans. “Bras are for big boobs, I lack that aspect as you can see. Why should I bother covering them?” she whispered back, giving him a side glare. Tobias shut his mouth. Minah had no idea whether he was really angry or not, but she saw him clench his jaw again before rising from his seat. If that alone made him furious, what more if he finds out that she was only wearing G-string underwear? Minah folded her hands, sighing secretly. H
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Seven: The man in her dreams
Tobias didn't sleep in their suite. She had no idea where he spent the night and she didn't give a damn about him at all. After what he did and said to her last night, all she felt about him was clear frustration. If she could only revoke their marriage contract, she’d definitely rip it apart right before his eyes. How dare he treat her sister like shit? He had no idea how much she treasured Leigh to be talking to her like that. She took care of Leigh for years. It almost gave her a hunchback for carrying her sister constantly every time her ailment choked her up. She stayed with her twenty-four-seven in the hospital. Lack of sleep or sleeping on a filthy floor under the hospital bed no longer bothered her even. She loved her so much, yet the blockhead bastard just thought of Leigh nothing but trash. That jerk didn't know how to scrutinize a woman who deserved to be respected. ANGER made Minah sleepless. Regretted that she didn't get to slap him hard across the face. She didn't wan
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Eight
“Are you sure she’s the woman?” Minah asked. Her eyes were fixed on the woman who was drinking alone at the bar counter. She was in the bar around Makati with Nathaniel. Well, Aldin was with them too, looking so excited ordering expensive drinks. They were occupying the four-seat table two meters away from the woman they were eyeing."That's her," he confirmed. “Name?” “Elaine and she’s a De Marco,” Nathaniel answered. Her brows met. This woman was her sister-in-law? She did not see her at the wedding ceremony. “Full-blooded or a leech?” The corner of Nathaniel's lips arched. “The latter,” he said, amused. “She's Tan's ex-wife, Tobias's cousin.” Ex-wife. So, that was the reason why she wasn't invited in the first place. She wasn't even sure if Tan attended her wedding either. She saw a lot of good-looking and swoon-worthy men from Tobias's family side during her wedding. “How was she involved with Vincent?” “Sadly, without her knowledge, her father sold her to your stepbrother
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Twenty Nine : An Invitation
Chapter Twenty-nineAn InvitationTobias left home earlier than usual the following day. That's good, Minah thought. She didn’t know how to face him after what happened that night. She went back to the master's bedroom to take a shower and get dressed when she heard his car roaring away.She slept in a vacant guest room for the rest of the night. Leaving the master’s bedroom instead of him felt so wrong, she realized. She couldn't believe why she just let Tobias boss her around, letting him tell her to fuck off just like that.Her phone rang. Minah walked towards the vanity mirror to pick it up. She stared at herself in the mirror for a moment. Her hand went to her face, feeling her lips that were slightly bruised.Tobias’ kiss was hard. It was nerve-wracking and definitely not the kind of kiss people would see in movies. But what was more surprising to her was the fact that that kiss drove her to go sleepless all night. For the entire time, she was fidgeting on the bed, thinking endl
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Thirty: Stubborn Wife
Chapter Thirty 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. “The last time you went to a bar a few weeks ago there was a raid and now this? Stop causing trou
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Thirty One: Protective Wife
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

Woman of Vengeance (English) Epilogue
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Special Chapter
April 2021 Bangkok, Thailand Tobias was sitting on the lounge chair in the lobby, facing across his cousin named Blair and his brother Gian. They were all waiting for Jay-Dee, one of Bold & Beautiful’s top models. The woman went to the restroom to do some retouching before finding where they were at. 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. Since things started to go south, he planned to pull Jay-Dee out of the current agency and offer to work in Tempted Wear instead as soon as her contract expired. The Tempted Wear was established by Tobias along with his brother Gian just a few years ago. Unbeknownst to Tobias, his brother attempted to buy Trimmed which was owned by Celine, Minah's business partner. But that didn't even happen since she disappeared all of a sudden. And so did Celine. “When are you coming bac
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Fifty-Four: It was love
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Fifty-Three: Deaths
Deaths BGC, Taguig The black and brand-new Chevrolet Camaro was parked on the side of the road. 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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Fifty-Two: Pregnant
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Fifty-One: Justice Served
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Fifty: Vengeance
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Forty-Nine: Nathaniel
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
Woman of Vengeance (English) Chapter Forty-Eight: The Hero
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
