How can she make her way to his heart if he is acting cold and aloof? Ah, maybe it's the right time for a little woof and poof...

I Put A Spell On You Chapter 1 The Errand Girl

SELEN got off her bicycle and knocked at the door, carrying a jar with concoction on the other hand. A few minutes went by... Still, no one opens the door for her. She heaved a sigh and sat on the doorstep. Maybe the client was still fast asleep. She laid the jar beside her and propped her hands on her chin as she looked up at the sky, watching the break of dawn.

It was too early in the morning, too cold it would make you wish to stay on the bed. But Selen woke up every day even before the rooster makes that cock-a-doodle-sound. She was her grandma's only errand girl. No matter how cold it was, she had to put on her cardigan, get on her bike, and deliver the concoction to every client wherever they are.

Selen wondered how many more minutes she had to wait until someone opens the door for her. If only she could sneak inside. But that's a little risky and tricky.

She yawned. "Gah! I want to go back to sleep."

She closed her eyes slowly. The wind swooshed, and she heard the dry leaves on the ground rustled. Selen could not help but smile. She always finds it entertaining to listen to the sound of nature. It seemed to heal her soul. Then, she heard the door creaked. She grabbed the jar and stood up immediately. A woman in her late forties greeted Selen.

They bowed their heads at each other. And then, she handed the woman the jar of concoction.

With trembling hands, the woman accepted the jar and looked at her. She could see the cloud of worry in the woman's eyes as she stared back at her.

"A-ah... I almost forgot." She fished a note in her cardigan's pocket. "This is the prescription on how to take the concoction."

"Thank you, Miss," the woman said somberly.

"You're welcome..." She heaved a deep sigh.

"Wait for a while. I'll go get the payment."

Selen waited again, but unlike before, it only took the woman approximately two minutes to come back.

"Here..." She handed Selen a small brown envelope.

She took it quickly and securely placed it in her pocket.

"If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us."

The woman grabbed her by the arm when she was about to turn around and leave. "Y-yes?"

"Would it really cure my husband?" the woman asked in a hoarse voice.

Selen caught the woman's hands and pressed them gently.

"Our family's into this business even before I was born. Every client was satisfied with our service," she assured the woman.

"My husband has been in pain for two years now. No one could cure him in the hospital. The doctors didn't know what's wrong with him." The woman started crying.

"The concoction will help him regain his strength. Soon, my grandmas would be able to break the spell." She patted the woman's arm.

Selen came from a lineage of white witches. Her grandmas fight the spells of the evil witches that harm people. They make concoctions to heal those who could not be treated in a hospital. And sometimes, they make love potions for the desperate ones.

"I... have to leave."

She got on her bicycle and looked back. The woman remained standing by the door, watching her.

Selen started pedaling away.

VIOLY looked at the grandfather clock in the living room before strolling to the kitchen. It was past six o'clock in the morning, and yet Selen hasn't returned from running the errands. Whenever that kid was late, even for a minute, she always felt nervous. Violy could not help but think that Selen ran into trouble.

"Ate Cora, Selen isn't back yet," she informed her elder sister.

Cora halted from grinding the garlic and turned to her. "Did you call her?"

Violy scratched the side of her neck. "I've been calling her, but it just keeps on ringing. I'm afraid that- "

The backdoor swung open, and a muddy Selen entered the kitchen.

"You! If you won't answer your phone, better throw it on the river and let the fishes have it!" Cora nagged at her. "Look at you. You're covered with mud. Where the hell did you dive?"

A small black head appeared from Selen's pocket.

"Mew..." the kitten said.

"I saved a kitten," Selen smiled proudly. "She was trapped in the mud."

"You just wasted your time. You should use your time practicing witchcraft!" Cora scolded Selen.

Selen's eyes started to wet, and with her lips pressed into a thin line, Violy knew the kid would cry anytime soon.

"Ate Cora..." Violy reprimanded her sister.

"What? Am I wrong? Selen is turning twenty-one soon, yet she couldn't make a simple concoction or perfect a simple spell. What kind of witch is she?" Cora slammed the pestle to the mortar.

"How many times am I going to tell you that I don't want to be like you? I don't want to be a witch!" Selen countered.

"You were born into this family. That only means that being a witch is your destiny." Cora said through gritted teeth.

"I want to live a normal life!"

"Does our life look abnormal to you?" Cora scoffed.

"How can you call our life normal when the neighbors would throw rocks at our house or even set it on fire whenever they learned about who you really are?"

"It's been ages since that happened. People invest their time in the fruits of technology nowadays, Selen. There were only a few of them who still believe that we exist. There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, we are doing it right. Fret if you harmed those people, like what those evil witches do."

"Hey, hey, hey, you two..." Violy butt in. "Enough of this for now, okay?" She sauntered towards Selen and tugged her to the bathroom. "You and your newly found friend should take a bath now."

"Violy, stop spoiling that kid, will you? That is why she always argues with me. She knows that you are always there to back her up," said Cora.

She did not mind what her sister said.

"Your Nana Cora is getting older and older. Look at her nagging at both of us every time she has the time," Violy whispered.

"You're not mad at me, Nana, right?" Selen pouted her lips.

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"Because I don't want to be a witch..."

Violy smiled at her granddaughter. "You are free to choose who you wanna be."

"Thank you, Nana!"

Selen was about to hug her, but she quickly stepped out of the bathroom.

"Wash first so we can have our breakfast."

"Hm..."

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
