I woke up with a handsome man beside me, and I couldn't help but stare at him for a while before moving out of my bed. Yes, I was in my bed; Royce slept with me after a great night. He made an effort, though, so why not? Besides, I realized I might have been overreacting. After his explanation, Royce told me a valid reason, yet I showed him a bitchy attitude.
Royce never gets tired of understanding; even at times, I was hard to be with. He is the cutest. I thought to myself as I poked the tip of his nose. No reaction from him; he must have been exhausted last night.
I jolted when my phone vibrated on the side table. I slowly move out of the sheet, exposing my naked body. I grabbed the phone from the side table, scrunching my eyebrow in confusion. An unknown number was blinking on the screen.

NELINAMin Park went home after lunch for business, so Lucy took the chance to tour me around her vast mansion, an offer I couldn’t resist. Royce’s mom even wanted to have a friendly talk after the house tour, but I declined as Marica entrusted the Salon management to me. I was late when I came back to Hermosa Salon.I immediately checked on the staff on how the business was going and thankfully everything seemed fine when I did my survey. I hopped on my laptop to check the latest project I’m working on. Another one after I got completed, the one I did in Royce’s condo. It felt fulfilling to attain my dreams in reality and I thank Marica for all she did to me. She believed in my talent not just as a makeup artist but also in my creative side of organizing events.I came to my senses wit

NELINA“Baby, let me drive, I’m fine, not so drunk, I just had a little drink.”Royce was like a baby, trying to beg for his toy. His friends are watching and laughing at how he acted in front of me.“Royce, you can’t. You had plenty of liquor on your body. I’ll drive.”Royce was drunk when we got out of the party so I had to try to drive for us.“Nelly, are you sure about driving? I can take you guys home if you want. I still have time,” Marica offered as she stood behind the car eyeing Royce.“I’m fine, I already drove the car that Royce gave me so this is not new. I got this, don’t worry

NELINAI woke up early the next day to cook breakfast for me and Royce as I knew he would wake up with a hangover. In the hallway, the phone I’m holding vibrated. It was mom. The thought of my dad speaking again was at the forefront of my head. Mom told me last night that dad’s speech has improved.I answered the call immediately, excited to finally talk to dad again.“Hello! Good morning, mom.”“Good morning, Nelly. Did I wake you up?”“No, mom, I’m about to make breakfast. How’s dad? Can I talk to him?”“Yeah, he’s here with me. Your dad is so excited to talk to you.”

Have a good appetite.”“Thanks, you too.”I paused before touching my food, enjoying the cozy ambiance of the cafe. Potion cafe is our favorite.“Marie, would you like to check our latest work? We are organizing a wedding venue; it must be done before 5 O’clock.”“Sure, I’ll drop by before I meet a supplier later after lunch.”&nb

ROYCEI got home at almost 10 in the evening, late for dinner as Nelly was used to having dinner around 7 to 8. I had a long day in the company as I need to complete new business partnerships. What appeared in front of me when I entered the room was someone who changed my dull mood into a brighter one.“How was work? You are a little late.” Nelly asked, kissing me on the lips. It was all I needed to restore my energy. It was like recharging my drained body.“That’s sweet, baby, sweet lips. Work was fine, by the way. It had a hectic schedule but satisfying knowing we kept growing the business. We have new business partners where we can put our organic products.”“I can’t wait to see all your products distribute

NELINAMarica invited me to have lunch at her house. Possibly, catching up after a week of a hectic schedule of events. I haven’t told her about Roxie calling me, so I thought it would be the best time to tell her about Roxie being a bitch again. Though it was kind of weird why we had to do it in their house.Quarter to 12 when I arrived at Marica’s residence. She was waiting for me in the living room.“You’re here. Welcome! It’s been a while you haven’t visited,” Marie said, kissing me on the cheek.“Is that the reason why you invited me? We could have lunch in our favorite cafe.”Marica’s face dulled up. “No, but we’ll

NELINA“Nelly, don’t be compulsive in your actions. Let’s think deeply about what we have to do next. This is a serious matter, you don’t have to take it in your hands and do it alone,” Marica said worriedly as she was trying to stop me from leaving.“Marie, my family is at stake here. I know you understand my situation. Please let me do this,” I answered and then stood up for me to leave.“What’s your plan? At least let me help you.”“Marica, you’ve done too much, that’s enough for now. I’ll contact you if I need help. Besty, I have to go.”Marica heaved a sigh and was speechless as I left her. I drove

Her eyes were piercing as she looked at me while tears cascaded on her cheeks.How I wanted to wipe off her tears but I can’t. It’s even more painful knowing I was the one who made her cry. I made a mistake.“My love, don’t leave me, please…”Employees are all eyes on us but I didn’t care and neither did Nelly. It was the last time she looked back at me. Nelly ran out of our office. Nelina tore my heart into pieces. She didn’t even look back when I begged her to stay once more.I wen

GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE PERFUME
NELINAEverything changed from where I stood. The tragic event remains in my memory, but justice has been served, so it felt better. I was looking at where my brother died 5 years ago.I lit a candle and brought white roses for my brother Mark. He sure smiles back at me as we finally commit justice for him.My anxiety was gone. For years I couldn't stand visiting the exact place. I was too scared to be bombarded with the horrible incident that gave me nightmares for years. But everything was in the past. I healed myself with the help of those who genuinely love and support me.The executives tried to appeal but failed to twist the truth and even lower the sentence. They will be stuck in prison for the rest of their lives. And obviously, they were all removed as executives in Sunny Corporations.Lexxi, Mia, and Arya didn't bother to argue with us again. My wish is that they have learned their lessons. I never meant to take revenge wrongly; I only wanted justice for my family."I'm so p
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE THE VERDICT
NELINAOne morning Marica called me. She wasn't in a good mood; I could tell by the tone of her voice."Besty, what's wrong?" I asked her."It's bad news.""Tell me.""I can't proceed with filing a case on anybody regarding the accident. The man driving the Ferrari was shot dead a day after the incident, and now the police have no lead on who could be the mastermind. It was a dead end.""Oh, Marica, I'm sorry to hear that.""The police just found out recently. They couldn't trace the car anymore; they suspected it was chopped and sold apart. Those bastards thoroughly clean up the mess they did.""They are so good at doing this. Don't worry, besty, we will surely find justice in another way.""What do you mean?""You know what I meant. The trial is ongoing, and we have a higher chance of winning. The sentence should be enough for them to be in prison.""Yes, I'd love that.""Besty, I am free for today. Well, I am always free since I don't have regular work. I want to visit you if you n
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE TRIAL
ROYCEThe first day of the trial has arrived. I was preparing my clothes when I got a call from Nelly."Hello, baby, how's your morning?""Not so fine," Nelly said weakly. It alarmed me to hear her that way."What's wrong? Are you worried about the trial later? Don't be; we have a strong chance of winning. I've talked to our legal team.""No, it's not that. I'm worried about you. Someone called me and said Mr. Gonzalez withdrew the charges against you, and he would expect us to do the same. I stood firm and told him we would continue the fight.""Baby, you did the right thing. We will fight and win. There's nothing to worry about. Was it Mr. Gonzalez who called?""No. And he was using a different number. But I'm sure he was tasked by Mr. Gonzalez. I mean, who else could it be?""Don't worry about that, baby. We had predicted he would withdraw the charges against me. He has too much in his hands now. He can't bear another problem, especially with me.""Yeah, but I'm worried for you. Mr
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE PAYBACK TIME
NELINAI gently shook Royce's shoulder to wake him up."Baby, I have to go."Royce had a little movement on the third time I shook his shoulder. His lips parted, and he talked like a baby. He opened his eyes little by little, and as soon as his sight landed on me, he smiled."Good morning, baby. What time is it?" He asked, grabbing me on my waist and pulling me close to him."Baby, stop. It's almost 8 in the morning; mom and dad must be worried. Besides, you still have to go to your company.""Hmm…it seems too early to work. We can spend an hour staying in bed. What do you think?""We can't; I have to go. Let..."Royce kissed me before I could finish what I had to say. I couldn't find the strength to protest as he was deepening our kiss. Royce succeeded in getting me to stay in bed for an hour.Before heading to shower, I checked local news online to see if there was an update about the charges we filed against the Sunny Corporations executives. Since they are well-known men, the pres

NELINA"Nelly, who is it?" Marica asked casually."It's the same number as yesterday.""Take it; let's hear what he has to say this time," Royce said.I swiped the screen to answer the call and then put it on speaker mode. We were all attentive in listening to the other line. "Nelly, you didn't listen to what I said the last time I talked to you. Let's make a deal. You stop the cases against Mr. Robert Gonzalez and the other executives, and we will withdraw the case against your boyfriend. You surely won't like having your boyfriend locked in jail. Do you?" The man, in a rough voice, laughed. He sounded like he was mocking me.His confidence in getting Royce in jail was on another level: he scared me to death and could not speak. Royce gently squeezed my shoulder; it took me out of reverie. He grabbed the phone from my hand."You cannot threaten us just like that. If you think you have what it takes to win this war, show it in court, not here. Mr. Chairman, you won't be bragging abou
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE GOOFY FRIENDS
NELINAI nodded to the bodyguards standing in front of Marica’s hospital room. I assumed Leo and Marica had hired security personnel just as Royce suggested last night. Four of my bodyguards join them in watching outside the room.I knocked on the door and patiently waited for Leo to open it for me. It took him so long that my naughty thoughts ran wild. “They couldn’t do it here,” I whispered and tried not to giggle. I didn’t want the securities to look at me like I'm an idiot.I hated myself for coming up with dirty thoughts in just a little while standing at the front door. By the time Leo opened the door, he looked at me in confusion. His hair was a mess which fed my naughty thoughts about him and Marica.“What’s wrong? What are you smiling at?”“Nothing.”Leo bobbed his head. “Come on in. Marica and I have been waiting for you.”I followed Leo and the look of Marica’s bed wasn’t helping with my dirty mind. The blanket was a mess and even Marica’s hair.“What are you laughing at, s
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE ROYCE SAVING NELLY'S FAMILY
NELINAFirst thing in the morning I got a call from Royce. It brightens my mood to see his name on the screen of my phone. “Good morning, baby, why so early?” I answered as I sat on my bed and rested my head on the headboard.“I only want to check my baby following what happened last night. Did you get another call from the same man?” Royce asked in his husky morning voice.“No calls from him anymore and I hope he won’t be calling again. I hate the sound of his rough voice. It sent chills in my body.”“Baby, don’t be scared, I got you. You and your family are guarded. I added security personnel so no one could ever harm you. And one more thing, I already asked someone to trace the number if there’s anything we could get which will lead to the investigation.”“Thanks for the security. Regarding the sim card. What if he already threw it?”“Well, we can surely find another way to trace him. Anyway, we are certain he is one of the culprits, or he has been paid to do it.”“Same thoughts.”
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE TALK OVER COFFEE
NELINAMarica and I looked at Royce and Leo with our mouths falling open. Their reactions were unexpected. We laughed in unison, seeing how worried Royce and Leo were; both of them stared at us in confusion.“Is this a game? Girls, why are you crying?” Royce asked. He seemed relaxed by then.“No, baby, it’s just a sudden burst of emotion after sharing some of our recent experiences. You know, about my family and the incident today.” I didn’t mention Marica’s family matter as I thought she wouldn’t like discussing it in the hospital.“Can we have our coffee now?” Marica asked excitedly.“Sure,” Leo said as he handed Marica’s coffee, next was mine. Both of them were seated on the sofa while I stayed by Marica's side, sipping my coffee.The hospital room was spacious enough to have a sofa set and dining area beside it. It appeared neat and elegant with white paint, and a modern and luxurious interior.“God, it’s so good. This helps me relax.““Seriously, besty?”“Yeah, it does help me ca
GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE SAME INCIDENT
NELINAIt took us almost 30 minutes to drive to Arturo Medical Center. Four of the bodyguards came with us inside the hospital. Royce and I hurried to the front desk, and I immediately asked the staff in charge.“Ms. we are looking for Marica Lopez. She was admitted just an hour ago and our friend told us she’s still in the emergency room.”The woman wearing white, probably in her mid-30s scanned the desktop immediately. She had a pleasant smile when she seemed to have found the answer. “Ms. Lopez is already in her suite room. Please head to room 309.”“Thank you,” I said as I nodded at her.“Baby, let’s go,” I said and dragged Royce on the elevator, the four men followed us. My heart was pounding in my chest even stronger with every step I made on our way to Marica’s room.“Calm down baby, we’ll get there now.”“Baby, you know I can’t. I’m so worried about Marica. My head just won’t stop thinking about the worst-case scenario.”“I’m here,” Royce said, clasping his hand on mine tightl
