Marica came with me to the airport early in the morning the following day. She never accepted no as an answer even though I told her I’ll be fine since her driver will send me to the airport.
“What’s your plan? How many days will you be on vacation?” Marica asked. We were sitting at the back of her Black Chevrolet Suburban on our way to the airport.
“Probably a week or so, honestly I haven’t made a decision yet. I’ll take a look at mom and dad’s situation on how long they have to stay in Manila and ask the doctor about the progress of the therapy. I’ll see if I have to move them to a different apartment.”
“If there’s anything I can do, let me know. Nelly, I’m here for

GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE FOUL PLAY
NELINAMy second day in Manila was nothing like in Angeles City where I had to start on my project or go to Salon to make up VIP clients. I thought I should do something productive in Manila so I started furthering the investigation regarding the death of my brother.For the first time, I took a look at the USB that Apple gave. It was all records from our former company that went bankrupt. As I am inexperienced in things as such I knew I needed someone who would guide me about the records.Dad is the best man I could ask but I was hesitant to discuss it with him. He didn’t even know if I was still interested in the incident. Mom and dad thought I already left the case unsolved.The investigator told us there was no foul play but I doubt it from

ROYCEI prepared for Marica’s new salon grand opening as I was hoping Nelina would be there. It would be a chance for me to talk to Nelly calmly. A few days have passed, hopefully, Nelly thinks things over and is calmer when I see her.It wasn't a very formal event so I wore black jeans paired with baby pink long sleeves folded on my elbow. I looked myself in the mirror twice, loving the new haircut I got a day before the event. It was a clean-cut as I had the urge to have a new look, especially since I wanted Nelly to have a good impression of me.Ten in the morning I was at the address Marica gave me. People started to gather that I had to squeeze myself into the entrance. I roamed my sight around trying to find the only woman on my mind but I failed.

ROYCELeo and I exchanged looks, while I was trying to remember what happened that night.“After our drag race, my friends and I had a little drink and then we separated at almost 7 in the evening. The night was fine and my drive home was smooth until I saw the deformed white car on the side of the road. I drove fast so I was able to break a few meters away from the accident. I had to run back to the car as I knew the passengers badly needed help. When I arrived, the car was smoking a little so I hurried and grabbed the man near the broken window. I thought he was lifeless as he didn’t even move when I dragged him out of the car a few meters away. I ran back to the car, aiming to help the other passenger but it was impossible. The man was stuck in the car and I think he was dead by the time I tried to pull him. He didn’t have a pulse in his wrist.&rdq

Surprisingly, it didn’t take long before he answered the call.“Who is this?” Dennis asked with a trace of irritation in his voice.“It’s me. I guess I wouldn’t have to introduce myself to you.”“What a surprise? A pleasant evening Mr. Park,” Dennis greeted sarcastically. “Tell me, what made you call me at this hour?”“Dennis, I need to talk to you tomorrow.”Dennis burst out laughing on the other line.

NELINAI woke up at exactly 6 in the morning when my alarm rang. It was the same bed as the other night, the master’s bedroom. It became a habit sleeping in Royce’s bed. I never planned to do it again but then last night I found myself in the master’s bedroom’s door and twisted it open.It was like I found comfort in Royce’s bed. I can peacefully sleep at night with the illusion that he was beside me. I shook my head out of reverie, reminding myself that Royce was a liar. Although I kept asking myself since that day that my judgment was correct. I have to admit there was a place in my heart that screams the opposite.I squeezed one of the pillows and hugged it tightly like I was hugging Royce. That’s how badly I missed him. But I can’t be with him, my mind told me.

ROYCEI was dismayed sleeping without getting any reply from Nelina. I should have expected it but there’s a part of my heart that told me to be hopeful. The reason why I was disappointed. It was a relief that I was able to text her, though. Let Nelly know, I’m not giving up on her and never will.I woke up the following day in Nelly's room with another plan to fulfill and it was getting rid of Roxie. I called my detective to ask how his investigation was going.“Mr. Park, I was supposed to call you. I have good news, I already solved the puzzle. And your doubts and theories were right. It was Roxie.”“I knew it all along. We only need solid evidence to hold Roxie on her neck. I don’t want to make a wrong move

ROYCERoxie’s mouth fell open like she was in shock. “What? Royce, I don’t know what you're talking about. Can you repeat it for me?”“Roxie, you heard me at first. Were you the one who sent the fake documents to Marica?” I asked again and I started losing my patience.Roxie didn't back down in her acting, she appeared to be confused. I know Roxie is a good actress, she pulled it off perfectly. If only I didn’t have evidence I would have believed her.“What documents are you talking about? Is this about your ex-girlfriend, Nelly?”“GIRLFRIEND, Nelina is my girlfriend,” I asserted.

ROYCE Although the meeting with Roxie was worse than expected, I was able to make myself clear. Looking at her reactions, she seemed to back down when I warned her for the last time. It was a relief. I drove home more hopeful about meeting Nelly again. After I cleared my name I would be able to prove my innocence. The only thing left was to speak to Marica with regards to the evidence that my detective gathered. I was eager to talk to my detective about a further investigation regarding the fake evidence. I sensed that there was more to it. To add it up is the way Roxie was so confident in threatening and warning me that there are people who want me in jail. “Hello, how was the work I asked you?” “

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
