Nick Joaquin Famous Works

Social climber, goldigger, malandi, mang-aagaw, home wrecker. Ilan lang 'yan sa mga salitang natatanggap ng isang kabit na kagaya ni Eunice, ngunit wala siyang pakialam, manhid na siya sa mga ganuong klaseng katawagan. It's true that she's only up for money, it's her way para matustusan ang mga luho niya. Ang pinakamadaling paraan na alam niya para magkaroon ng mga bagay na gusto niya ng walang kahirap-hirap ay ang makipagrelasyon sa matatandang mayaman. Wala sa kaniya kung may asawa man ito at maging kabit siya. Ang totoo ay mas gusto niyang nakikipagrelasyon sa mga lalaking mas malaki ang agwat ng edad sa kaniya at may asawa na, kaysa sa binata pa. Para sa kaniya ay mas challenging iyon at mas nakakapagpapataas ng kompiyansya niya sa kaniyang sarili.Ngunit tila ba dumating ang karma ni Eunice. Nang makarelasyon niya ang business tycoon na si Emmanuel Montoya, ang dating magulo niyang buhay ay mas lalo pang gumulo. Galit na galit sa kaniya ang asawa at anak ni Emmanuel, dahil sa pagwasak niya sa masayang pamilya nito. Si Joaquin ang nag-iisang anak ni Emmanuel, gagawin nito ang lahat para pasakitan si Eunice. Manaig pa kaya ang galit ni Joaquin kung unti-unti naman siyang nadadala sa mapang-akit na si Eunice? Magawa pa kaya niya ang maghiganti o kagaya ng kaniyang ama ay mahuhulog din siya sa karisma nito?
