Chapter 14- The Beginning (Part-1)

"Wakey wakey sleepy head!"

Maria barged into Aleina's room without any hesitation, while Aleina was still fast asleep on her bed.

"Waah! So beautiful... My eyes!"

Maria was mesmerized at sight of the sleeping beauty in front of her.

The sun was shining bright with it rays penetrating through the glass of the window, while the rays were shining on Aleina's sleeping figure as if a spotlight was shining on her. She was wearing a cute rabbit printed cotton pajamas; the collors of which was deep enough for her fair and long neck to be exposed.

Her bare bright face which had a little swelling on the right cheek had subsided a little and made her look flushed with a rosy complexion.

"Haish! She can easily give anybody a noosebleed!"

Maria shaked her head; in order to think straight. She chuckled a little when she got a devious idea to wake the alluring sleeping beauty.

"Hehe! I'm so smart!" Maria said while she tiptoed towards Aleina's bed mischievously.

*WHOOSH*

Just like that, the blanket covering Aleina's body with which she was smuggling up to, was snatched abruptly by the naughty Maria.

The sudden cold air after the blanket was lifted from her body, woke Aleina up and she opened her doe brown eyes in a dazed state.

"Wh-.." Aleina was still not fully awake and just before she could ask Maria what was happening, a dark shadow hovered above her.

When she looke up, she saw Maria smiling mischievously with her eyebrows raised upwards. Aleina knew what was coming next.

"Hahahahah haha.. S-stop... p-please... hahahaha.. I-I'm gonna..p-pee.. hahaha.. s-stop..!!"

Maria was tickling Aleina without any intention of stopping anytime soon. Aleina's laughter was like a sweet bell reverberating in the room. The scene was truly loving and full of impetuous laughter.

Aleina was out of breath from laughing so much.

She quickly changed her strategy and instead of defending herself, she started tickling Maria without a remorse.

"Haha! how do you like that! Haha! Do you admit your defeat?" Aleina said while tickling continuously.

"Hahaha.. o-okay.. haha.. s-stop.. I- I admit defeat!! Haha... T-truce!"

Aleina stopped tickling her and laid down on the bed beside Maria, both of them breathless from all the laughter.

"Are you both done acting like a child?"

Edward's stoic voice sounded. He was standing at the door, leaning his body on it while his arms were crossed over. With an amused smirk he said,

"Aren't you both supposed to be getting your beauty treatment? The beauticians and stylists are waiting for you since half an hour."

"Oh Shit! I totally forgot about it. Come with me Aleina, we have to get our beauty treatment although you don't seemed to need it. Tsk"

Maria quickly got up from the bed while she dragged Aleina along with her without giving her a chance to escape.

"Nooooo... Brother Edward save me from your evil wife. I don't want to go for any beauty treatment." *sob* *sob*

Aleina tried to get help from Edward only to get a shocking answer from him.

"Serves you right! Next time think before stealing my wife from me. Hehe!"

Edward amusingly laughed with a teasing smirk on his face while he saw his wife dragging Aleina.

"I'll get back at you for this. Hmph!"

Aleina threatened with narrowed eyes while she was dragged by her collars.

------------------

After the 4 hours long excruciating beauty treatment, Maria and Aleina were getting ready for the Glory Entertainment Anniversary party.

Maria was all ready in her ankle length dark red gown which accentuated her curves perfectly. She was having the aura of a noble lady. She had little make-up on her already pretty face while her brown hair was styled into a messy bun.

She was waiting for Aleina in the living room, to leave for the banquet hall where the Anniversary party was held.

"Aleina, are you ready? We really have to leave now or else we'll get late. Don't fuss with your clothes and cone on out."

"Ugh! I hate putting makeup and I don't like this dress. It's so expensive!" Aleina replied with a loud voice as she was on the first floor of the Villa.

"Don't you dare change your clothes. Will you just come out, please? I'll let you have your favourite butterscotch ice-cream after we come back from the party."

Maria offered a deal to Aleina while she tried to convince her to come down.

""Okay! Don't forget your promise. I'm coming down now."

*Click* *Clack*

The sound of heels echoed in the silent living room. And down came Aleina, leaving Maria shocked, at her appearance.

"OH MY GOSH!!! I think everybody is going to have a nosebleed tonight."

Maria said with a stupified expression at how ethereal Aleina was looking.

"Let's go! I can't wait to se Edward's reaction. Hehe! He'll probably lock you up and not let you attend the party. Hehe!" Maria chuckled while she imagined Edward's flabbergasted look.

With that they left the Villa for the party, in the limousine prepared by Edward; excitement rushing through them for the grand party.
