George stared at the man in awe for a long time. He couldn't believe such kind of man existed in the world. He had to admit he looked exceptionally handsome and was a real stud. 

"You must be George," the man introduced himself and reached out his hand to him for a shake. "I'm Cali."

"Nice to meet you," George answered making an eye contact. He felt something strange when he looked deeper into his eyes. It was like the man was trying to warn him; telling him to stay away. "I don't want to mess with this guy," he thought.

"Am glad to meet you, too. I've heard great things about you," said Cali, pulling away his hand after the handshake. 

Soon after, the two of them were seen strolling around the company. All the ladies did not fail to notice and admire how absolutely gorgeous Cali was. Quickly, he had become the talk of the company. 

"Have you seen the boss' son?" Melanie asked Rica. I

    "Cali?" she gasped. She finally remembered the name of Mr. Reyes' son. Damn, Rica! She couldn't help but curse herself. How could she forget the only heir and the son of the company's CEO! "Right. His name is Cali!" she gasped again, this time it was louder. Her mind was so busy remembering that she forgot she was surrounded by a number of colleagues in the meeting. Everyone in the room looked up questioningly at her. They were all surprised by her sudden frenzy. When Rica saw all the eyes looking at her and realized what she had done, her face instantly turned as red as a beet. Mr. Reyes started laughing. "Right, Erica," he said, nodding continuously. He rose from his seat and stood up in front of them. "Everyone, I want to introduce the new CEO of Reyes Manufacturing Corporation, my son, Cali Reyes," he said proudly. As soon as Cali stood up to introduce himself, all the women in the room were obviously smitten by his smile and charming looks. Rica gulped. She couldn't believ

    "I still can't believe you're married now," Julie exclaimed and helped her friend Rica pack up some of her things. She knew it would be lonely and gloomy without her but she couldn't tell her that. "Don't be selfish," she told herself. "It's not like you could keep Rica for the rest of your life." Yet, no matter how much she convinced herself to be happy for Rica, she couldn't understand why she felt betrayed. "I can't believe it myself," Rica chuckled as she watched Julie pull out a big box on the top of her dresser. She stood up to help her bring it down. She opened the old box and looked into it. It had her old necklace, stuffed toy bear and her drawings when she was still a kid. Buried deep under the box, she found some photos. She took them in her hands and stared at them. They were the only photographs of her parents she had. "I miss you so much," she mumbled as she touched her parents' faces. A tear fell from her eye. Julie sat behind Rica and r

    “Hello?” “Hello! Rica? Finally, you picked up! Where are you?" Rica pulled the phone away from her ears. She didn't feel like talking to anyone. She wanted to be alone in that beautiful place. She needed to figure everything out. "I've been calling you. George called me but I don’t understand why he wants me to come get you. I thought you were together. What’s going on? Is everything okay between you two?” "George?" Rica stopped walking. Hearing that name inevitably stabbed her heart. Her body trembled and her legs started to shake with every step. "Please talk to me, Rica. Please..." She didn’t know what to tell her best friend. Panting and covered in her own sweat, she sat down under an old weeping willow tree with dancing, ground-sweeping branches providing her a canopy of leaves. As she tried to hide her misery and ignore all the pain, her effort failed, tears started to roll down her red cheeks. "Hey! Are you crying? What happened? I'm starting to worry," Melanie asked

    Rica carefully clambered down a big rock. Fortunately, she had hiked this place a year ago so she had a wealth of information about what she needed to do to stay safe in that particular location. She was panting heavily when she reached the bottom so she steadied herself with her hands on her knees for a moment to take a breather. She pulled out a soft white towel on her pocket and wiped her face soaked with sweat. After a short break, she carried on walking down the track when she suddenly noticed a little bird trying to break free from the branches clinging to one of its teeny-weeny legs. She drew herself nearer to it. "What a very beautiful bird!," she exclaimed, astonished by the little creature in front of her. It had bright red feathers and a long wavy red and black tail. Its little eyes were staring at her, pleading for help as it wished to escape from the branches' firm grasp. She at last freed it from them and watched it hurriedly flew away, up in the air, away from her. A

    Buzzzzzzz… buzzz… buzzz… Riiiing! Ring! Ring! Rica woke up to the vibration and sound of the alarm clock on her smartphone. She turned it off and slowly opened her eyes. She was about to get up when she realized there was a big man lying on the bed next to her. Quick as lighning, she quickly jumped out of the bed. A naked man! She clamped a hand over her wide-opened mouth. "Shit! Who's this guy?" she gasped as she looked around the room. "Where am I?" she asked, her brow furrowing while examining the unfamiliar bedroom. She tried to think of what could have happened yesterday but she could only remember the time she made a wish in front of the spring. That was her last memory of yesterday. She gave her body a quick glance to check if she was wearing some clothes. "Phew! Thank God I have my clothes on," she muttered to herself. She was certain nothing had happened between her and the stranger man. She tried to wake the man up for answers but his handsome face caught her attention

    She ran up to the third floor of the house. She was already running out of breath when she reached the floor. To make matters worse, she was not sure how to find the room she had come from earlier because of the insane size of the house."Where is that room?" she asked to herself, looking confused at the passage. If she had only brought her smartphone, she would have gone straight out of the house earlier to leave this place."All the rooms look the same to me," she sighed."Not to me."Cali suddenly appeared behind her. She could immediately smell his subtle but sexy smell. She turned around and faced him with her eyebrows raised and pulled together."Don't you think kidnapping someone is a.."Cali shut her mouth with his fore finger. "First of all, this is not kidnapping. Don't forget, I am your husband and you are my wife. Second, we have to go downstairs because breakfast has already been served. Food shouldn't wait."

    Rica was taken by surprise when Cali took her into his arms from behind. She could feel her heart beating so fast. She swallowed hard and steadied herself. She didn’t expect him to do this. "Please stay even if you don't understand what's going on, Erica," she heard him say in a muted voice. She tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth. She was so surprised she did not notice when Cali ceased to hug her. When she turned to face him, he was already walking out of the room. She let out a deep sigh. Must she stay or must she leave? Can she trust another man again after all the pain she had been through? ***The beautiful thing about pain is that, we can learn a lot from it. We learn to forgive. We learn to trust. And we learn to love again. Not everyone is capable of doing that. So if you do, be proud of yourself. It only means you have grown in life from your experiences.*** - Author

    "I am ready to entrust you my heart. I'll be your woman but..." she paused and closed her eyes. She had to think of how to tell Cali she was not ready to tell the world she was married to him yet. Cali pulled the car over. Good thing they were near a church so it wasn't so noisy. He could hear Rica softly inhaling and exhaling. She was trying to build up the courage she needed to tell him what she wanted. He looked at her intently. "But?" he asked her. He sounded calm. He wanted her to feel comfortable in expressing her thoughts. "Well, you see, there was this guy, George. He was my ex-boyfriend and he dump.. uhm, left me," she began. "The thing is, it was only yesterday when we broke up and I don't think it will be nice for everyone to know I'm married now. They'd think I'm a bitch for dating two men at the same time," she explained in a way she felt Cali would understand. Cali nodded his head. He wanted to s

    Rica hugged her best friend. "Mel, I'm really sorry about yesterday. A lot of things have happened so quickly. I'm even marr..." she sighed. "I will explain everything to you later." If there was one person who should know about her secret, it would be Melanie. After a gruesome plane crash took her parents' lives, she became her own family. It wouldn't be fair for her not to know the truth. She was waiting for her friend to react but she seemed disinterested. "I guess she's still upset," she thought to herself. However, for some reason, Melanie was looking at her suspiciously. "Have you heard?" She wanted to ask Rica why she came in late. It was the first time. She was known for being always the early bird in their department. A break up wouldn't be enough reason for her to report late to work. She really wanted to know but there was a more important issue she had to clarify. "Heard of what?" Rica asked, raising her
