Nemesis Elpis Marquez Antonio knows the beauty of Manila, a city of breathtaking sunsets and vibrant life, yet one where justice remains elusive, a cruel paradox etched into its very soul. 

An aspiring lawyer, she's a warrior forged in the fires of a brutal past. Her days as a Political Science student were a blur of family strife and the chilling certainty of death threats, each exam a gamble against a fate that seemed determined to crush her. Those haunting memories; the regrets, the unanswered "what ifs" fuel her relentless pursuit of justice, a burning ember against the city's indifference. 

This isn't just another legal battle; it's a visceral fight for survival, a desperate dance with death played out in high-stakes courtrooms and clandestine midnight rendezvous. 

Betrayal is a familiar sting, the lines between right and wrong blurring as she risks everything to champion the voiceless, to bring light to the darkness that shrouds even the most beautiful cityscapes. 

This is Nemesis's story: a heart-pounding journey through Manila's vibrant yet unjust heart, where the ghosts of her past hold the key to her future, and every victory is a hard-won battle for the truth, a testament to the resilience of hope in the face of despair.

Would she make it until the end?

She wasn't just a child, She was a miracle. Born after generations of prayers and silent yearning, Tejo arrived like the dawn after a long night in the mighty Suryavanshi dynasty. A family built on strength, pride, love and tradition found its heart softened by a pair of tiny hands and eyes that held galaxies. She was their light, their laughter, their moon wrapped in stardust. Even the sternest of men melted before her innocent smile, their proud heads bowed to the little girl who unknowingly ruled them all. But fate, ever watching, never plays fair. One night everything changed. One moment, giggles, blessings and love filled the air. The next, silence. A cruel twist no one saw coming, no one could stop. The light vanished. Just like that. Gone. No warning. No goodbye. Just a void so deep it swallowed the entire family. The Suryavanshis, once unshaken and mighty, crumbled under the weight of their grief. Her absence became a shadow that haunted every sunrise, her name a whisper too sacred to speak aloud. Years went by. Time moved forward, but hearts stayed frozen in the moment she left. And then... the winds shifted again. Tejo returned, no longer the pampered princess she once was. At a young age, she faced countless emotional hardships, far away from the warmth of her family one she didn't even know existed. Life tested her in ways she could never have imagined. But beneath the surface of her silent pain, she found strength. Hiding her emotional wounds behind a calm exterior, she grew resilient not just for herself, but for the unbreakable bond she formed along the way. That bond became her anchor, her reason to keep moving forward. This is the story of Tejo, a girl destined to shine, who found her light even in the darkest of times. Take a deeper look into her journey, one of pain, strength, family and love.......✍️🏻❤
