Enchanted To Love You

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

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."

"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

"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
