Chapter 7

Aleina's days seemed to pass by while avoiding crossing paths with her elder sister Sabrina and her elder brother Zane.

Aleina kept herself busy with her studies and other extra- curricular activities like volleyball, painting and dancing which made her become the subject of others' envy gazes.

She was a brilliant student and along with her ethereal beauty it didn't take long for Aleina popularity to soar high but she had absolutely zero interest in keeping up with the status quo.

Her best friend; Lizzie Miller belonged to a middle-class family. She was admitted to the prestigious Royal School and College due to a scholarship.

Her mother; Sophie Miller was the Head maid of the Kallis family who pitied Aleina's situation and always tried to shower her with as much love as she could.

Lizzie and Aleina were in the same class and were best friends before they had even entered the same school as Aleina always used to play with little Lizzie in the garden of the Kallis Villa while Sophie did her housework.

After Aiden had dropped her at the school gate, the scene was caught by Sabrina's friend and Sabrina was immediately made aware.

It didn't take long before the news reached the ears of Dave and Rose Kallis after which, Aleina was severely punished with ten whips on her lower back from the leather belt of her father and was grounded in her room without any food for a week.

The 10 year old appeared to be living two lives; one where she tried to be invisible in her parents' eyes and another where she masked her sorrows and adorned a huge smile on her pretty face for the outside world.

She knew Sabrina would again get jealous and angry at her for approaching Aiden and his family and she would get punished so, she started avoiding being too close to the Walton family.

Deborah started noticing her avoidance towards her but was confused as to what could be the reason.

She tried inviting the Kallis family ignoring her high status, in hopes of meeting the adorable Aleina, but everytime she sent her butler over, the Kallis family either lied about Aleina being sick or they told them that Aleina was busy with her studies.

The Kallis family could not be compared with the Walton family in terms of wealth, status and business.

While The Kallis Enterprises mainly did business regarding real estate and commercial complexes, The Walton Estate had its roots in every beneficial sectors like hospitals, entertainment business, jewellery line and whatnot.

Deborah was very concerned about Aleina, and always reminded Aiden to take care of her at school or pass the gifts she bought,to Aleina.

Aleina kept avoiding the Walton family after the incidence and created a distance with Deborah as well after Rose had hurled vicious words at her.

Like this, in the blink of an eye, 5 years had passed. The years had treated Aleina's beauty to develop more attractively and her looks became more impeccable when she turned 15 years old.

Her previously short luscious dark brown hair had grown and now her long silky hair cascaded down her shoulder till her tiny waist. Her baby fat was gone and now she adorned an oval shaped fair face, smooth like silk, with high and prominent cheekbones. Her dark brown eyes, the same colour of her shiny hair, could swallow galaxies.

With a height of 5.6 ft she looked like a model; ready to do a runway with her glowing, smooth legs. She wasn't just flawless, her skin was like silk over glass and she radiated an intelligent beauty.

Aleina's out-of-this world body could catch anyone's attention, a small waist and curvy hips that fit perfectly in any clothes. She had a S-shaped figure, which all the girls were going craz for, but Aleina's physique was due to her playing Volleyball and she was also the captain of the Royal School's high school volleyball team.

Aleina's popularity was soaring sky high due to her captivating beauty and excellent accomplishments in sports and academics. As a result she had a whole fan page of her own.

Her desk was always filled with roses and expensive gifts left by her admired but she never even gave those things a second glance, before cleaning her desk and distributing the gifts to the underprivileged people after school.

She was friends with all her peers and she never ignored or discriminated amongst them, but she had her bottom line.

The harsh and violent treatment of her family had led her to always maintain a safe distance with the opposite gender, thus leading to Aleina's cold attitude to some of the guys at school who didn't take her rejection seriously and always tried to interfere with her life.

Like today, where she was just about to catch the last bus after her volleyball practice session had ended, when a bright red coloured Ferrari stopped right infront of her, blocking her path.

Felix West, Aleina's senior, was 4 years older than her and was one of the most stubborn admirer of Aleina and wouldn't take no for an answer. He was a second-generation heir with an equally rich family business like the Kallis family.

"Come babe, I'll drop you to your place. We can even talk about you accepting my proposal on the way."

Felix said with a devilish smirk on her handsome face, while alighting his flashy car and reaching out his hand in order to grab Aleina's smooth and pale hands.

"Don't you dare touch me!" Aleina said in a stern and cold voice with a look of disgust on her mesmerising face while creating a distance between them.

Felix was amused by her reaction, and disregarding her rejection he grabbed her smooth arms with force while trying to shove her in his car.

"You better stop struggling and accept my proposal while I'm nice. Otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

Felix said with an evil smirk on his handsome face while being mesmerised by Aleina's beauty.

Aleina was shocked by his hooligan behaviour and her eyes turned cold when Felix tried to force her into his car.

Aleina had a cold smile on her striking face and all of a sudden, she stopped struggling and straightened her posture with her legs together.

Felix was surprised and then he got happy when she stopped struggling, and thought that she was finally going to accept him.

But his happiness didn't last long when he was met with an excruciating pain in his most sensitive part.

Aleina had kicked Felix with sheer force, where the sun didn't shine.

Looking at Felix's crunching red face with pain while holding his crotch, Aleina said with a chilly voice and a cold smirk on her gorgeous face.

"Hm. Don't blame me for being rude as well."
