Jessie's Knowledge Of Her Real Parents

Joana often visits the Cardinale mansion to let her boss Amanda sign papers. It is also in the mansion where she is able to meet Jessie who she befriends. There are times Joana would invite Jessie to go out with her until she is able to reveal to the child that her true parents are Galo & Almira.

Jessie informs Amanda on what Joana told her. Amanda then got mad and she still insisted that is Jessie’s real mother. Eloisa, together with Gabby finally reveals Jessie about her true parents like what Joana told her. Jessie feels Amanda doesn’t love her anymore after shouting at her. Amanda becomes unhappy especially now that Jessie knows who her real mother is.

Jessie still feels bad for what Amanda did to her. Because of this, she talks once again to Almira and asks her mother to take her. Almira grants Jessie’s wish and so the child becomes suddenly ill. While she is laid in the hospital, Jessie dreams again of Almira, who introduces her to her real father, Galo. In the dream, Almira also wants to take Jessie with her but Galo says it’s too early to take Jessie’s life. It’s also because of this situation that Gabby becomes kind-hearted to Jessie like he never was before.

After the robbery incident which Amanda reported it to the police, the nurses reported to her that Jessie suddenly became missing. Based from the nurses’ description, she strongly suspected Joana as the one who kidnapped Jessie. Joana then brings Jessie with her and introduces her to her grandmother. Because of the presence of Almira’s ghost which Joana often feels, she decided to return Jessie to the Cardinales. Amanda, together with the policemen, went to Joana’s home and it’s only this time she have known that Joana is the sister of Galo. Joana and Jessie are on their way when the police caught her. Joana is detained in jail and Jessie is returned back home.

Junjun, The Second Crime Suspect

Nana Miranda suddenly discovered the knife which Gabby buried in Almira’s graveyard under Junjun’s bedroom. Because of that evidence, Junjun becomes now the suspected killer.

Junjun is arrested and detained in jail. One night, when Junjun is planning to escape from the jail, a riot among the prisoners exploded. Junjun is not able to escape instead he is shot but he was able to recover. After Junjun was discharged from the hospital, he plans not to return to the mansion since he’s not yet ready to forgive his lola Miranda.

According to the latest report of Atty. Guevarra, not a male could commit the crime because of the lashes of long nails founded in Almira’s body. The suspect now becomes a female and Eloisa scrutinizes the nails of every female living in the mansion. Eloisa has a strong vibration that Amanda is the killer because of her long nails.

Gabby's Secret Evidence

Gabby discovers a knife secretly hidden in an expanding envelope in their office. Joana becomes eager to know the content of that expanding envelope but she was disappointed. Gabby then buries the knife in Almira’s graveyard in the cemetery.

Joana still continues her plans of revenging against Amanda. Joana comes across Atty. Guevarra, the one who would help her in fulfilling her plans. Like Joana, Atty. Guevarra also has plans of revenging against Amanda for breaking up with him. The first of their plans is robbery in Amanda’s office.

Amanda's Troubled Times

Joana, Amanda's Cheerful Accountant

Amanda becomes pressured not only with the investigation but also at work as well. Joana, her accountant, is someone who always cheers her up in the office. Without Amanda’s knowledge, Joana’s kind attitude to her is only an ersatz attitude since she’s planning to revenge against her boss. Amanda never knew that Joana is also the sister of Galo.

Alfie, Amanda's Gay Friend


Amanda is also surprised by the presence of Alfie, his former boyfriend who now turns out to be a gay. Every time Amanda feels low, Alfie is always there to cheer her up. Amanda also jokes on Alfie that he would hire him as a designer for their shop.

The Investigation of Almira's Case By Eloisa & Atty. Guevarra

Eloisa, together with Atty. Guevarra, conducts a preliminary investigation before Almira’s death since everyone in the mansion is a suspect of the crime. Everyone is willing to be interrogated except for Amanda, who seems to have no concern at all.

These are the narrations of the following as to what they were doing or where they were when Almira is killed:

· Gabby- was in the mansion where he was working on something in the computer.
· Señor Edwin was is in the mansion and became helpless that he couldn’t be able to save Almira.
· Junjun – was in a friend’s house which Atty. Guevarra got the address.

· Nana Miranda- was in the mansion terrace, where she saw Junjun that time quarreling with Almira.
· Amanda- was together with Atty. Guevarra that night when Almira was killed.

Based from the narrations, they suspected Junjun as the killer. Junjun recalls that he felt bad that time when Almira said to him that Amanda wouldn’t be able to like her for Eloisa since he’s only a gardener. He also feels bad to his lola Miranda for doing this to him.

After the investigation, Gabby feels the presence of Almira. Eloisa have heard asking Almira for forgiveness and Eloisa suspected him as the killer. Gabby defended himself that he usually argues with Almira but he couldn’t be able to kill her.

Junjun is the only one who they suspects as the killer. Junjun also is able to recall that the reason why he argued with Almira that night is when she said that Amanda wouldn’t be able to like him for Eloisa since he’s only a poor gardener, something made him feel really bad.

Gabby also defends himself to Amanda that he wouldn’t be able to like Eloisa because she is Almira's killer.

Jessie's Real Relationship Among Her Parents

Jessie grew up knowing that Amanda & Gabby are her real parents. Gabby never becomes a good father even if Jessie is doing anything to please him. Amanda, on the other hand, becomes a good mother to Jessie, whom she treats like her own child. Gabby & Amanda would usually fight because of Jessie but still he couldn't accept the child as his own. Jessie feels that Gabby doesn't love her at all but not Amanda. She even hired Jessie a “yaya’ named Gerta, who would take care of her when she’s not around. Gerta is a person full of humor but whenever she's scared, she would usually lean to Dodong, their family driver.

Jessie's Mysterious Friend


Gerta would often see Jessie talking alone in the garden. Eloisa befriends Jessie, who believes her because they have something in common which is seeing spirit. Eloisa shows pictures of Almira to Jessie, who reveals that Almira is her friend and someone she’s always talking to. Eloisa argued with Amanda, who doesn’t want to believe this.

Amanda doesn’t want to believe about her vibrations and always pretend to be brave even if she also feels the presence of Almira’s ghost.

Amanda Finally Believes of Ghosts


Amanda is just able to believe until Jessie pointed out Almira’s ghost behind her. Amanda also gets frightened to see that Jessie is playing with Almira’s doll whom she asked Junjun to burn it.

The Help of A Medium

Eloisa, The First Crime Suspect

Eloisa, who is behind the cell, always gets frightened because of the incubus she always sees. Because of this, her mental condition is getting worse.

The first one who visited Eloisa is Junjun, who likes her even before, encourages her to be a strong person. Junjun is also studying at the same time that’s why he seldom visits Eloisa but he always promises her that he will come back and won’t left her.

Aside from Junjun, Atty. Guevarra also visits her frequently and even volunteered him self to be his legal counsel. Atty. Guevarra informed Amanda about his willingness in helping Eloisa but she get mad at him. Because of this, Amanda broke up her relationship with Atty. Guevarra.

Because of the worse situation of Eloisa, she then was brought to the mental hospital. It is also in this hospital where she met the handsome Dr. Rigo Bayani, who is very caring and thoughtful to his patients.

Sooner, Eloisa is recovering and even volunteered her self in doing the chores of the hospital. Eloisa thought nobody loves her since no one visits her. Eloisa then is suddenly surprised by Amanda, who discharged her from the hospital and took her back in the mansion.

After Eloisa was discharged, it is reported that not a female could commit the crime because of the heavy stabs found in Almira’s body.

Eloisa thought that Amanda became really kind to her. There were times that Amanda would offer Eloisa something to drink and she even asked her for forgiveness.

Even if Eloisa is now doing well, Rigo always visit her frequently just to check if she’s okay. Amanda seems to be in favor of Rigo to be Eloisa’s boyfriend and even said that they look good together. Junjun, on the other hand, always get jealous of Rigo. Nana Miranda later discovers Eloisa’s pictures in Junjun room, where he reveals his true feelings for Eloisa.

Without the knowledge of Eloisa, the real reason why Amanda is doing these kind deeds to her is to let her sign a contract. It is stated in this contract that she’s allowing Amanda to handle her assets she inherited from her mother Janet. Amanda always forces Eloisa to sign the contract until she accidentally fell down from the stairs. After Eloisa was discharged from the hospital, she decided to sign the contract after Amanda told her that she’s doing this to salvage their family business in trouble. Amanda is suddenly frightened by Janet’s ghost who showed up to her angrily and messed the contract with blood. Gabby took the contract which he torn up and dumped into the garbage.

Eloisa would still dream of Almira who is crying for help and justice. Because of this, Eloisa is having problem again about her mental condition which Amanda doesn’t want her to undergo into medication. Eloisa befriends Jessie but Amanda told her daughter not to talk to her because she’s insane.

It is only Junjun who encourages Eloisa again to become strong. Junjun even told Eloisa she’s a bright person and to study so that she could handle their family business. It seems that Eloisa feels very weak knowing that only Amanda has the authority to handle everything.

The Death of Almira

Almira is unhappy in her relationship with Gabby as they usually quarrel with each other. Almira later on gave birth to a baby girl whom she named Jessie. Gabby didn’t know that the real father of the child is Galo and not him.

Almira always plays the music box which Galo gave him. One night, she was playing the music box while her baby is asleep when someone stabbed her with a knife at the back. Almira died and everyone in the mansion became a suspect of the crime. Eloisa upon waking-up is suddenly screaming because of the blooded knife that is found in her hands. Eloisa then became the first suspect and has to face the punishment of the crime.

After Almira’s burial, Amanda ordered Junjun to burn every thing which Almira uses except for the doll. According Señor Edwin, he doesn’t want the doll to be burned because it was his gift to Almira and he knows how much Almira loved the doll. Again, it is Amanda’s decision is followed and the doll is burned by Junjun.

Amanda then took care of Jessie, Almira’s daughter, whom she adopted and treated like her own child.

The Return of Señor Edwin

Amanda grew up alone since she was a child and the only one who she always gets along with is her cousin and bestfriend, Mariel. While she was a child, her mother Allona would always get jealous of her every time she would comfort her father. Because of that jealousy, Allona brings her husband in America where they lived in a longer period of time.

After several years, her father Señor Edwin went home back but this time with Janet, his second wife. Janet has a daughter named Eloisa from her late husband who died in an accident. In the mansion, they are welcomed by Nana Miranda, Rhodora, the young Junjun, the young Amanda and the young Mariel. Eloisa became frightened upon entering the mansion. Since the biological father of Eloisa died, the young girl always becomes frigthened because of the spirits she always sees. This had resulted her to having mental disorder.

Amanda couldn’t accept Janet to be her second mother. Señor Edwin loves Janet very much and they had a beautiful daughter whom they named Almira. Because of her anger to Janet, Amanda accidentally pushed her in a sharp pointed object in their store room where she died and the only witness is her cousin.

Almira Faces A Problem

Almira has a problem because Amanda wants her to marry Gabby Trajano in order to salvage their family business which is in trouble. Amanda likes Gabby even before but she became disappointed that Almira is the one whom he wants to marry. Señor Edwin argued Amanda about this because he knows that Almira didn’t love Gabby at all. Almira got nothing to do and it is Amanda’s decision that was followed. Gabby and Almira then later got married.

Because of this, Almira asked Eloisa to help her meet Galo. Galo then brought Almira to their small house, where something happened between the two of them. Amanda, on the other hand, petrified Eloisa who was forced to reveal where Almira is. Amanda went to Galo’s house and Almira got nothing to do again but to follow her. Because of this, Almira became angry to Eloisa for revealing to Amanda about this.

Eloisa, suddenly became guilty and so she told Galo to go to the mansion to fetch Almira. Almira & Galo already met at the mansion’s gate. The problem is, Amanda saw them with her two big eyes straight from her bedroom’s window and hurriedly informed Gabby about what she saw. Gabby, who was carrying a gun that time, shoots Galo who died. Almira got nothing to do but to enter again the mansion and Eloisa became frightened again after seeing Galo’s death.

The Love Story of Almira & Galo

'La Vendetta' starts with the love story of Almira & Galo. Galo is a porter who always passes by the village where he met the loveable Almira. There where times he would pose in front of the Cardinale mansion where Almira would return him a loveable smile. Galo didn’t know that Almira begins to like him. At one time, someone tries to snatch something from Almira and it was Galo who came to rescue her like a hero. Because of this, Galo had the courage to reveal his feelings to Almira. Without the knowledge of Amanda, Galo & Almira are into a relationship.

One day, Almira & Galo passes by a thrift shop, where Almira looks intently for the music box in which its background music is her favorite song, ‘P.S. I Love You’. Galo became acquainted how much she loves the music box. There are times Amanda would follow them and Almira got nothing to do but to go with her. Amanda is definitely not in favor of Galo since he is only a porter who belongs to a poor family. Galo loves Almira so much and he would do anything just for her. Through his savings, he surprised her with the music box she desired.
