2024-10-29 19:42:56I went outside trying to keep a polite smile… until I saw my loving Grandma casually chatting with a driver she previously called a “gangster”. I walked closer and got absolutely stunned. The fearsome guy in the black suit was eating a piece of cheesecake my Grandma made!
“The secret is to wait until the biscuit gets a little colder… only then you should add the layer of cheese melted with pudding and milk,” she was telling him her recipe for the cake.
My jaw literally dropped. That guy, who looked like Caucasian Shepard looking at my Granny – the barking Chihuahua, was eating the cake she brought for him on a white-pink plate, and kept nodding his head trying to memorize her words.
“Granny… what's going on here?” I asked laughing hysterically.
“Oh, nothing… I was just telling Joe my secrets for baking,” she giggled.
“You… were telling… “Joe&

“You're seeing it right?” Mr. Chairman smiled observing my reaction. “Y-yes…” I stuttered nervously, trying to comprehend the situation. “Only powerful witches can see it… It was said that if someone can read the words spinning in the seal, it can lift up the curse. Unfortunately, no one really knows what language is that,” he sighed. “Mr. Borda… you said that “only the powerful witches see it”… But, can you see it as well, right?” I inquired, hoping to learn more. “Yes, I can see it sometimes appearing in the mirror, but not every seal owner sees it. You have to believe in magic to see it,” he stated. I wanted to ask him more questions about the seal, but he suddenly got up from his seat. “Ms. Eder, would you to take a stroll around the garden? Mr. Romero will join you. I have some things to settle before the dinner,” he wore a polite smile. I guessed that our private chat was over. “I would love to see the garden,” I
A Kissing Spell A nice family dinner
“Young Master…” Mr. Romero bowed nervously.Asher Borda stood confidently gazing at him with a sneering smile. I looked at him carefully. He had a dark complexion, black hair, and glowing amber eyes. I guessed the handsomeness's genes were obviously running in that family. He resembled Samil a bit, but there was something incomprehensible about him that made me feel uneasy… Maybe, it was the fact that Mr. Romero and I were basically caught talking behind his back. Suddenly, he turned his head my way and our eyes met. That startled me.“Gael… you may go back to my Grandfather. I will take care of his guest,” he claimed firmly.“B-but Young Master… I was given an order to take Ms. Eder to the dinning room soon… I shouldn't leave her…”“I will take care of that myself,” he didn't let Mr. Romero finish, “Or do you think I'm incompetent enough not to know where the
A Kissing Spell The family battle
Asher put down his knife and fork on the table and gazed at me with a confused and angered expression.“Is that true… you work for my Half-Brother?” he asked.“Y-yes…” I smiled awkwardly.“What a wonderful coincidence!” Luca Borda called spitefully, “Our Old Master decided to invite someone who works for that sick, cursed bastard to our home,” he hissed glaring at me.“Luca! How dare you!” the Chairman fumed.“Honey… calm down,” Luca's wife, Delia, put her hand on his trying to make him lower his voice.“I will not calm down!” he burst out pushing her hand away, “You are always doing it on purpose, Father! You are constantly reminding us of his existence! You want him to become your successor, but I'm not going to let that happen! You are getting weaker, the board of directors can see it! You are going to die soon, and none of the h
A Kissing Spell Looking for a way out
I came back home and sat by the kitchen table trying to comprehend everything I had learnt. I now knew that Samil was coming from a very powerful family, a toxic family, where he was at a constant war with the other family members. Knowing more facts about his life I could finally understand his cold and calculative behavior. A big part of his story sounded like a gloomy drama script, but if that were what his life looked like, one could consider it a miracle that he didn't become a complete sociopath… Another piece of knowledge I gained was about the magical seal. A curse that was slowly taking its owner's life away, and that was making the owner immune… to witchcraft. Which means Samil was completely immune to MY witchcraft! No wonder my spell didn't work… But the real problem was, if the simple charm wasn't of use, then what about the kissing spell…?! I ran to my bedroom to bring the huge book my Grandma gave me, and then came back to the kitchen with it. I figure
A Kissing Spell Tell him the truth
I was thinking what I should do the whole night and got up with a strong resolution. I decided that I have to tell Samil everything. Although, I wasn't sure if my coming out wouldn't scare him away, but as a scriptwriter I already could foresee what would happen otherwise.Every scriptwriter knows what happens if the female lead stays quiet about some crucial topic. If she doesn't tell anything – someone else does, and it always happens in the worst possible time and place. The conclusion was obvious – to avoid this scenario from happening, I needed to tell Samil the truth fast.The first thing he had to know was that I met his precious family, and that I instantly became hated by most of them. I also could predict that he would ask me how that it happened that I met them… Then I would have to tell him about my Grandma's magic shop, and that I treated Chairman with the herbs I made…As long as he could accept it all, then I would get to
A Kissing Spell A blond obstacle
Samil was merciful enough to turn his eyes away from me to make a call. If he gazed like that one more second I would surely burst out laughing hysterically, or I would have a heart attack.“It's done. I have the last proof I needed. Prepare what I asked for, Elijah,” he gave a command on the phone and ended the call smiling wickedly.“I guess something good happened…Sir…” I commented nervously.“You just helped with my next goal, Ms. Eder… Your work, was the last thing I needed to fire the CFO my uncle previously placed here,” he stated staring intensively at me again.His sight made my heart beat faster, I felt like I was naked in front of him. I turned my eyes away to regain my composure. I smiled awkwardly, desperately trying to hide how distressed I was.“Remember! You have something to tell him! Do it now!” I encouraged myself in my head.I gathered my strength, then
A Kissing Spell Someone "special"
I watched how Camilla walks away towards the elevator, and I kept processing what happened. I thought that I should really pay more attention to what I say and to whom. This spell worked for my advantage, but I should have been able to use it more wisely. My lack of control over my abilities scared me a lot…“Ms. Eder…?” Samil shattered my stated of daze.I flinched and immediately focused on him.“Y-yes?” I called smiling nervously.“Hope that my fiancé didn't say anything rude to you. She has quite a temper…” he stated, concerned.“N-no… She just… asked me about the other secretaries… I told her… that they were fired the same day you hired me, Sir,” I decided to choose some harmless part of our conversation.“Are you all right, though?” he asked leaning over to me, “You look pale…”I froze observing
A Kissing Spell Strike One
Samil kept gazing at me, his sight was firm, constant, and… unbearable. I couldn't tell what was hidden behind that gaze, but the insensitivity of it made my heart pound and hands shake. I almost dropped my notebook because of it. “Why does this elevator go so slow?! I will die in here if the door don't open in like three seconds!” I went frantic inside my mind. When the door opened I almost collapsed getting off that elevator. I started breathing heavily while holding a hand on my chest, making it impossible for him not to notice my state. He smirked and walked slowly through the corridor leading to conference room, and I… seriously wanted to kill him for messing me up so much. We entered the room together, everyone bowed to him, greeting him, and ignoring me. It felt incredibly awkward, until suddenly… “Kass! Great to see you… Ms. Secretary!” Grace called happily from the back of the room waving her hand. She surprised me, with all that had

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
