All Chapters of GROWING UP WITH MY LOVE: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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

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?”   “

NELINAI was wearing a royal blue body-hugging dress above my knee since I was confident showing my figure after consistently working out in Royce’s gym in his condo in Manila. My tummy has flattened back, slightly showing the abs. Marica’s black Cadillac parked in front of Bocca Felize Italian restaurant. My heart was pounding in my chest for an unknown reason. I was expecting to meet my best friend to have dinner with her and talk about work but it felt different. As soon as I stepped out of the car my phone rang. It was Marica. “Hello, besty, I’m here. Where are you now?” “I’m in the restaurant right now. Come on in, we’re waiting for you.” Marica said with a tease in her voice and then she cut

NELINAIt was my first day back with Royce yet it seemed he was hiding something from me. By the look on his face, Royce was disturbed, he froze when I asked about the envelope he was holding. “Royce?” “Baby, listen.” Royce walked over to me. He trailed his fingers on my face and tucked my hair in my temple. “I don’t want to stress you out but since you already saw this.” He lifted the envelope. “I’ll tell you everything. Come on, let’s have a seat.” “Now, tell me,” I said as we were both sitting on the couch. I wasn't calm. Royce looked me in the eye. “Before I tell you, I want to assure you that the situatio

NELINAThe bright pink knee-length dress Royce gave me was well fitted on my curve. It was like he had my body measured. Royce surely has a sharp memory in terms of sizing every inch of my body. I love the soft fabric and the sleeveless cut of it, making it modest. Just enough for our dinner date. And even the color matches my skin tone, making me look fresh and younger.It was 7 in the evening when I left the condo. Royce came with two black Cadillac Escalades which I thought was too much. We got 2 bodyguards with us including the driver and in the second car are the 4 bodyguards. Royce insisted on having tight security details.

The anticipation is killing me right now," I said as we were on the road for over 10 minutes."In a while, you'll find out. We will be having dinner in someone else's mansion. Ho
