Leena jumped out of her bed when she couldn't escape from her constant dream of being dragged away by police uncle after being accused of guilty. He will not go to that extent, right? He will not! She convinced herself with that thought and leaped into the bathroom and scread in terror like a howler monkey when she focused her eyes in the mirror.

Is this my face? Why do I look like I have aged a decade in one day?

She freshened up reluctantly. After her shower, she walked into her closet and put on a beautiful blue floral dress which ended right before her mid calves, the long sleeves flared loosely stopped at her slender wrist giving her a baby look. It's a vintage style dress and she loved them. Her Francy brought for her when he went on a business trip to Korea.

My face still looks like a ghost! What should I do? If Francy looks at my avatar, he would definitely freak out and pester until he gets to the root of the issue. Leena imdiately got a solution in her brain for that and neatly applied concealer under the crease of her eye bags to cover them and looked at the mirror. Aish! this concealer! It has really hidden my true beauty.

Carrot has already finished her potty when Leena walked out of the bedroom and that was a big task for her.

"You did a good job buddy." She praised her and both hopped into the car and drove off to Heacis Mansion.

.....

A large mansion was enclosed in a wide beautiful enchanted garden. Heacis mansion has a wide variety of flowers and the spring has brought the sounds of many birds into the garden. Buds begin to flower the trees splashing with color adding tranquillity to the enormous mansion. A small pond was nuzzled in the middle of the garden with the blooming lotus flowers. It was a peaceful place to calm the minds.

A tall person was sitting on an enormous desk in his study room looking at the file his secretary Ashton has received from one of the dia about his darling baby. Even in his forties, his age did not diminish the handso looks instead it added maturity with confidence and positivity, Francis Hayes, a man of devious personality, as sly as a fox when dealing with others, except the apple of his eye. He heaved Hayes enterprises to another level with his outstanding business capabilities.

"Little Leena has made into headlines again with her friend Reese sir." Ashton clearly could feel the anger of his boss. The dia would regret putting it on the headlines.

"Contact the dia and suppress the articles. It's of no use warning them. No doubt that monster will make another headline tomorrow and I am tired of reprimanding the dia every ti." Francis closed his eyes kneading his temples. This spoiled brat is getting crazier day by day. It's ti to set my plan and trap her in marriage. He already has soone in his mind and only that person can control this spoilt kid.

"Roger that_"

"Sir Francis!! Little Leena is here!" The loud piercing voice of a woman echoed into the mansion and the secretary has to put an end to his mouth when Francis rushed out of the room. He was smiling when he heard his baby darling has arrived fast today.

Ashton exhaled a deep breath. Look at him, just now he was scolding her and now he is running like a child the mont Leena arrived. Should I click a picture and show it to all the employees how their autocratic boss is behaving like a child. But I guess no one will believe .

When Francis raced into the living room, he noticed Leena was talking sweetly and he rooted to the spot smiling warmly at her.

"Aunt Grace, don't call little. I have grown up into a big baby now." Leena pouted. She was always treated like a little baby in the Haecis mansion.

"Even after you grow old, you will still be our little Leena." Grace pinched her nose and finally turned to the attention seeker. "Carrot baby you are here? Get inside the kitchen. I have prepared your favorite food." Carrot jumped when she heard about the food and dashed to the kitchen.

"By the way, Where is uncle Caleb?" Leena asked looking everywhere without knowing soone was glaring daggers at her.

"That husband of mine is in the kitchen since morning! He woke up at 5 to prepare all your favorite dishes. God knows what kind of dishes he is preparing until now!" Grace and Caleb have been living and serving in Haecis mansion even before Leena was born and they are very loyal to Francis.

"He sure loves a lot." Leena giggled sheepishly.

"Who loves you more than ." Just then Francis roared and rushed to Leena's side when he sensed his position was occupied by that annoying Caleb. He always finds a way to lure my baby with his food.

Leena pressed her lips. Here cos my jelly! Too bad, I expected his presence even before I could admire his uncle, Caleb. Leena deliberately praised uncle Caleb to annoy him. God! I love my Francy's little jealousy.

Aunt Grace sighed at these two. Their banter is going to start now and she is in no mood to listen. Pestering my annoying husband is better, she thought.

"You look pale? Do you have a fever?" When Francis noticed her dark eye bags, he was frightened to the core and instantly tried to touch her face to check for fever but Leena backed off. Francis closed his eyes in anger. She hasn't gotten over her past still? How I wish to kill that bastard with my own hands.

"No! I don't have a fever!" Leena imdiately retorted. Did he co to know about my adulterous act yesterday? Leena! you are dood if Francy cos to know about it. He will kill .

"Then why are you not talking properly with ?" Sothing is wrong with this brat, that Francis was sure.

"Do I have to talk properly every ti with you?" Leena scread at him and slumped on the couch. She was batting with her dreams for the entire night with no sleep and she was utterly tired now and he is making her anger rise again.

This temper of hers! Where did she inherit?

"Grace." He called. " Prepare her favorite banana smoothie first."

"NOOO!" Leena imdiately rejected getting up from the couch. Aunt Grace and Francis looked at her suspiciously with the behavior of hers.

"I am fasting." She lied looking down. You have made a deal with God Leena. So stick with that for today even if it's tempting.

"I am tired of her tantrums Grace. Every day she would co up with one or the other. Go and prepare it." Grace nodded and went inside the kitchen.

"I will not drink it even if you prepare." Leena loudly scread at him. I will not drink today at any cost.

.....

Leena and Francis were sitting in the dining table while aunt Grace was serving breakfast. Uncle Caleb was still in the kitchen preparing his unending dishes. Leena was looking at the food on her plate, but her eyes always darted to that one glass. She can drink it right! That jinx doesn't even know my na, forget about where I stay. She smiled mischievously with that thought and slowly grabbed the glass and started drinking savoring the sweetness. Francis was laughing inwardly at her every gesture.

"Complete your food. We will go and see your mother.." Leena excitedly nodded when she heard about her mother. She is going to see her mom after a long week
