Grace wanted to post the recording right away, but I hesitated. I wanted to do it all properly. I called Elijah since he told me that he was preparing for some legal action. When I told him we got the evidence, he came right away.

“How did you manage to get someone to confess?!” he called agitated as soon as he opened the door to my office.

“Nice to see you too, Elijah,” I smirked sarcastically, “Answering your question, we got lucky,” I grinned.

Elijah cleared his throat and nodded his head, greeting us both, but it looked like my reply only raised more of his suspicious.

“You asked her, and she confessed?!” he called doubtfully.

“Sit down, we will show you what we have…” I chuckled.

I gave him my computer so that he could watch the recording of Dianne's confession. He paid attention to every single detail, and even rewound our video a few times.

“What do you think?” I asked impatiently, after he had seen it for the fifth time

  • A Kissing Spell   One moment of carelessness

    We stood like that for a while. Jason stroked the back of my head gently and whispered in my ear that it was going to be ok, even without knowing what made me cry. My tears stopped flowing. I was slowly regaining my composure, listening to Jason's heartbeat and feeling the warmth of his body. It was soothing.“Can you tell me what happened now?” Jason asked seeing that I became calmer.“Grace and I found the evidence… I could finally clear my name…” I muttered, still glued to his chest, “We found out that the real culprit was Camilla, but then I showed the video that we'd recorded to Samil… He forbade me from publishing it anywhere… He even told me, he would fire me if I did…”Jason looked straight into my eyes. I wished I could smile at him, but the pain that surfaced in my expression was far too visible. Jason's gaze was filled with anger. I knew it wasn't directed at me, yet I flinched. I

  • A Kissing Spell   The morning after...

    When I woke up, Jason was hugging me from behind. My whole body was covered in Jason's scent. I wasn't exactly sure whether I was comfortable with it or not. It was as if I was sinking in guilty pleasure. My heart didn't pound frantically. It felt nothing like lying next to the person I loved. Perhaps, I felt like this since my mind became poisoned by those rumors about me, that I was using Jason. Even though I was honest with him, and basically he was the one who led to this situation, something about this morning felt awkward. I even started to wonder if I should sneak out of his apartment, like a secret mistress escaping when the dawn comes. Of course, as soon as I pictured this thought in my mind, I realized how absolutely immature that idea was… I became slightly stiff lying awake in Jason's arms. I tried not to move for a few more minutes, figuring my way out of his embrace. I could feel his steady and strong heartbeat resonating through my back. His breath delicately

  • A Kissing Spell   Between the devil and the deep blue sea

    I stood right outside my office and hectically wondered whether I should go inside or stay and listen to what was going on, peeking through the crack in the door. I took a deep breath and reached for the door handle, but something made me stop half way. I pulled back my hand and stood like that, unable to move. “I asked what are you doing here?!” I heard Samil's harsh voice. “I already told you, I'm Kassandra's assistant, I have every right to be here,” Jason chuckled maliciously. “So, where is she?” Samil hissed. “Since the CEO has to know. Kass went to meet with Grace,” Jason smirked. “Why do you keep calling your boss by name?” Samil glared at him clenching his teeth. “Why can't I? She was the one who suggested it… Besides, it's more accurate to call your lover by name, don't you think?” Jason smiled wickedly. I flinched. My head started to spin, and my body shivered. Why did Jason say something like that?! Of course, I coul

  • A Kissing Spell   My choice

    His lips sweetly touched mine. I reacted unknowingly, returning his caresses. He kept holding the back of my head, pulling me even closer to him. He slipped his tongue in my mouth and skillfully moved it around, giving me an indescribable thrill. I had never thought it's possible to feel that much excitement from a kiss.I wasn't able to tell how long it all lasted, how long I was in his arms, how long he used his lips and tongue to give me pleasure. It felt like an eternity, as if I had fallen asleep and wished that I would never wake up. Unfortunately, I did. He stopped, gently pulled me away from him and smirked.“Was that what you wanted?” suddenly, he asked.“Was… what?” I stared at him, bewildered.“The kiss… Was that what you were hoping for from the moment you met me in the company?” he questioned, casually.I gasped and glanced at him, trying to comprehend the exact meaning of his words.

  • A Kissing Spell   According to plan...

    The next day, Jason greeted me standing in front of my office. He was grinning and being cheerful as usual. I also decided to behave like I normally did, and smiled at him warmly. We drank coffee in my office, briefly discussed all the issues with the filming, and went to the set without saying one word about “us”. I felt relieved. For now, I wished that things between us would go back to the way they were before…The shooting went smooth and fully professional. Everyone from the production team was attentive and diligent, and Sonia and Charlotte were shining as much as the celebrities they interviewed. I felt quite accomplished seeing it all happen.Only one thing changed… Jason's behavior. I couldn't exactly tell when it had changed. Maybe I simply didn't notice it before, but now, every time someone came close to me, he was giving that person a hostile glare. Of course, it had never happened if that “someone” was a woman. I was

    Mr. Romero led me inside. The space within the mansion had been cleared of all the furniture to avoid unpredictable events, such as objects flying around the whole mansion while the ritual would be taking place. I walked along the corridor straight to the grand banquet hall. There were no electric lights there, only small torches placed around. It suddenly felt as if I had entered a medieval palace. The whole floor was tiled with mosaic, and the place right above the energy core had been marked with a round mosaic ornamented with a templar cross in the middle.“Where is the Chairman now and what is his current state?” I asked standing in the marked center of the floor.“He is in the specially prepared van outside the mansion. Our trusted doctor is with him. He is unconscious, but his heartbeat seems steady,” Mr. Romero informed.At the same moment, my Grandma called telling me that she and Kira had just arrived in front of the building. I

  • A Kissing Spell   A new day...

    When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a comfortable bed. There was a huge window on the right side of it. The sunrays were entering through the window, enlightening the entire room. It must have been late in the morning since the sun was quite high. I should probably have been in a deep state of panic, but I was strangely composed. I wondered how long I slept like that, and what exactly happened, but I didn't find even an ounce of anxiety in me. I turned my head to the other side and saw Grandma. She was napping while sitting in an armchair. She looked peaceful and serene… as if she was a different person. I chuckled softly. My voice woke her up. “Kass…? You are awake… That's great… We were worried…” she muttered with a sleepy voice. “You don't sound like you were worried at all,” I teased her. “I was worried… but I knew you'd be fine,” she grinned. “Where is Aunt Kira?” I asked looking around the luxurious room we were in. “S

    I finally managed to get dressed in something other than a night gown. Certainly, those things weren't my own clothes either. I was given a luxurious set in a light pink color with a jacket and a skirt, and a pair of nude pumps. As soon as I wore those clothes, I felt like a young noble lady on her way to the tea party. I looked at myself in the mirror and felt that I looked weird…“You look gorgeous!” Grandma sounded delighted, “I wouldn't mind if you started wearing clothes like this every day.”Of course, she wouldn't mind. She and the Chairman were already planning my wedding! The problem was, my groom was almost on his way to wed someone else…A while later, Grandma, Kira and I were served breakfast outside in a beautiful bower. We were also informed that the Chairman was extremely occupied from the morning, but he and his grandson would meet us for lunch. In the meantime, we were to enjoy the garden and the mansion as

  • A Kissing Spell   Our Destiny

    Samil had never left my side on our way home, whether it was while we were on the ship or flying in the Bordas private jet. He kept asking me if I was ok. He did it so often that I started to find his concern over my health annoying. He wasn't the one that had been bothersome during our trip. Chris, Elijah and all the other men from Samil's army were coming one by one to apologize for trying to burn me at the stake. Although, I kept repeating that it wasn't their fault since they were controlled by magic, but recalling everything they had done while being compelled wasn't exactly helpful in recovery from their moral hangover… Despite the fact that I knew that it was all over and that I and everyone was safe, those horrifying moments were coming back each time I closed my eyes. Once I tried to get some sleep, I woke up screaming, but then Samil would hold me in his arms and tell me that there was nothing that could ever threaten us anymore. The warmth of his body was soothing

  • A Kissing Spell   A hope that dies last

    Suddenly, I heard nothing but crackling fire from the light of the torch. I hesitantly opened my eyes. Samil threw his torch at the bottom of the pile, yet it barely touched the wooden branches. The pile didn't start to burn. All it caused was a bit of smoke that was coming from one side of the pile. My heart was pounding frantically while my tears kept falling down my cheeks."Samil…" I mumbled, looking into his eyes.He raised his head and gazed at me. His expression was slightly different from before. It wasn't as blank as if his consciousness started to resurface again…"I love you…" I called softly, praying that it would be different this time, that my calling would finally reach him.He stared at me in silence, then slowly turned his head to look around. At that moment, he stopped resembling a mere puppet. It was like one of his strings had been cut. I could see him clenching his teeth. I gasped, desperately hoping that his reac

  • A Kissing Spell   The execution

    Ezzura had cast a spell that filled the entire island, including the irresilient to her magic Samil. She compelled everyone. Now, they were all her own army that obeyed her unconditionally…I guessed, she clearly wanted to torture my heart before she would burn my body, doing everything she could to break me. She picked a beach as a place where I should be burned at the stake, and she told Samil to take me there. I didn't have any strength left to resist. He tossed me over one shoulder like a bag of sand, and then he carried me out of the witches' castle. I tried calling his name, but he didn't react at all, as if he had become an empty shell that once had been someone who loved me…"I have to admit that your magic is extraordinary," Ezzura chuckled while walking to the beach. "Can you see how easily I had changed everyone into my puppets? Your magic in this life is even stronger than the one you had as Immara."She kept glancing cheerfully, admiri

  • A Kissing Spell   Fooled twice…

    For a few seconds, I was unable to open my eyes. I heard a continuous, high-pitched sound in my ears. It covered all the other sounds I could hear, and disturbed my focus. Finally, I forced my eyelids to open. My vision was slowly coming back… I was lying on the floor in the middle of the witches' courtroom, trying to comprehend what had just happened. I nervously lifted my upped body to sit and look around. When I did, I gulped. All the witches from the group of the eldest were dead. Their bodies were lying motionless on the ground. Some were covered in blood, some looked like they were electrocuted. It was a massacre, and I was sitting in the middle of it… Suddenly, I saw Ezzura nonchalantly walking around the hall, gloating over the victory. I flinched, then I clenched my teeth. My previous visions, Immara's memories, the feeling of betrayal, they all came back and filled every inch of my body. I instantly raised my hands in order to attack her, but… nothi

  • A Kissing Spell   That piece of memory…

    "W-what?" I murmured nervously, gazing at Sister.She avoided my stare. She must have known from the beginning that I was the incarnation of her younger sister, the one she told me about. Now, the fact that she claimed that she didn't remember her name and told me to call her "Sister" made me grit my teeth. Why couldn't she tell me?! Even if she wasn't certain if I remember my past life, couldn't she tell me that I look exactly like her late sister?! I felt confused and betrayed, and the most disturbing fact was that I had never recalled having an older sister in the memories of my past life…"Oh… I can see that she didn't tell you, did she?" Shelta chuckled coldly. "She had been told to gain your trust and kill you, but once she had learnt that you were sisters, she disobeyed the orders. She even decided to trick us to save your life, but you had to die even after you had lost your powers…"My head started to spin. I glanced at Sister. I co

  • A Kissing Spell   The witches' court

    There was a road outside the forest. It led straight to the witches' castle. It looked like a fortress. It had high stone walls around it, and an enormous iron gate at the front. Samil walked at the front. Sister and I were right behind him, and the rest of the soldiers marched in formation, moving towards the gate while constantly fighting off the witches. Finally, we forced the witches to run back to their castle. They ran to the gates, banging on them and desperately crying to those in charge to open the entrance. Yet Mahala and the rest of the witches in charge were deaf to their pleading voices. They would rather let them die at those gates than open them. I gave Sister a signal, nodding my head, and we hit those witches with our magic, making them fall into a coma."Chris, get the explosive to blast those gates," Samil ordered."Understood," Chris replied, then abruptly turned around to get the bombs ready."Wait!" I called out, "There's no need for that.

  • A Kissing Spell   The beginning of the battle…

    It was dawning when Sister finished her story. We managed to drink three bottles of wine, but certainly we didn't have to worry about getting drunk or having a hangover. Lack of sleep couldn't bother us either. That was the upper side of being a witch.After the whole night of talking, we used a few spells to improve our looks. Then I made us breakfast, and we were ready to work on making the cor inane for Samil's men. Chris showed up after 10 AM and brought the clothes and other things for Sister. Then his men delivered thousands of crystals, some for the amulets and some to make a powder that can be used on bullets. There was a lot of work ahead of me and Sister.For the first time, I was glad that Samil wasn't around. I felt more at ease then. I didn't have to worry about my boyfriend's peculiar behavior. I wasn't sure if he'd act the same way the next time he and Sister met, but I'd rather not think about it at the time...Sister was friendly towards everyon

  • A Kissing Spell   Her past...

    I was exhausted from too much thinking. I was anxious, but I had to pretend that everything was all right in front of Sister. I didn't want her to jeopardize our alliance right before that big fight. It was something I couldn't afford. I wished Sister goodnight while wearing a perfect smile. I saw her casually lying in bed and closing her eyes. I wished I could fall asleep as peaceful as she did.I tossed and turned in bed, hearing my pounding heart. I was terrified. If Sister's magic wasn't effected by the power of the seal, it could mean that her abilities were far beyond mine. It could mean that Sister's magic was great enough to defeat the demonic power within the seal, and as far as I was concerned, no witch had ever done it. How could I consider myself as a witch from the prophecy then?I wasn't that arrogant to think of myself as the most powerful witch in the world. I had never craved for power. I just wanted to feel confident about winning, and now I was becom

  • A Kissing Spell   Fragile alliance

    Samil took Sister and me to my apartment. While driving, he turned out to be surprisingly considerate towards Sister and even sent someone to get clothes, shoes, and other basic stuff for her to accommodate comfortably in her new environment. Perhaps I should be glad that he was helpful, but I couldn't help it. It just bothered me more and more. I tried not to show it, yet keeping a smile on my face was no longer possible. Unlike me, Samil was… smiling. He was smiling towards Sister. I had noticed it a few times, and it instantly brought chills to my spine. He'd never been so submissive to me, and now, Sister said a single word, and he immediately made a phone call to get her what she wanted!I felt completely left out in a conversation while we were in the car. If I had been an outsider, I would have thought that she was Samil's girlfriend, not me. I didn't like it in the slightest. I kept telling myself that there were more important things to handle, things concerni
