Billionaire’s Love From India

Eden was holding Lavanya in his arms. Her heart started beating rapidly when he kissed her neck and looked into her honey brown eyes.

“Good night, sweetheart.”

He left her room, leaving a huge smile on Lavanya’s face. They both slept, dreaming about their happy life together.

In the morning, Eden’s phone started ringing. He moved his hand, trying to find his phone, keeping his eyes closed. He found it and rejected the call but after one minute, his phone again started ringing. He held the phone in his hands and slowly opened his sleepy eyes to look at the caller ID. It was Jai’s call. He answered the call and asked annoyingly, “Why do you always find time to call me in the morning?”Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sorry, but it’s afternoon in India.” Jai said, and Eden rolled his eyes.

“Fine, why did you call me?”

“I called you to ask about my granddaughter’s well-being.”

“Why are you suddenly concerned about her? As far as I remember, you said that she means nothing to you.” Eden said and started laughing.

Jai chose not to reply and heard him “Don’t worry. She is fine and very happy with me. You shouldn’t worry about her.”

“Okay. I know your manager is soon going to sign the partnership deal with my grandson on your behalf.” Jai sighed and continued, “I just wanted to make sure that my grandson doesn’t get to know about how he got this deal. He will not even think for once to break all his ties with me if he got to know that I used Lavanya to get him this deal.”

“Don’t worry. He will never know about it.” Eden was about to cut the call when he heard Jai say, “Thank you for fulfilling your promise.”

“Nothing matters in front of my happiness and love.” Eden hung up the call and Jai looked at the blank screen, confused with his words.

Eden stood from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He picked up an orange shirt and went downstairs after getting ready. He saw Lavanya sitting in the dining room. She was also wearing an orange colour dress and the couple was accidentally color coordinating. He kissed her cheek and sat down on his chair.

Bella came in, holding a plate in her hand with other servants following her. Bella placed the plate in front of Lavanya and left with the other servants after serving them the breakfast.

“Finally, I am getting to eat this after so long.” Lavanya said, licking her lips.

Eden looked at the plate placed in front of Lavanya and asked, “What is this dish called? I think I haven’t tried it during my stay in India.”

“It’s called Aloo Paratha(Flatbread stuffed with a mixture of spicy boiled mashed potatoes).” She said and put some butter on the Paratha.

“Did you cook this?”

“No, I only gave instructions to Aunt Bella on how to cook this.”She said and took a bite.”Umm, it’s so delicious.”

“Can I taste it?”

“Sure, you can but it’s spicy.” She said, taking another bite.

“Let me try.” He took a bite of Paratha from her plate and felt all the spices blasting in his mouth, creating a unique taste while Lavanya poured water in a glass for him.

“Are you alright?” She asked, giving him a glass of water.

“It’s awesome in taste. Why didn’t I have it in India?” He said, drinking water.

She laughed.”You can eat them with me now.”

“Yes, I want to eat these. Atleast some change in the breakfast is good.”

She served him the Parathas with butter.

“I want to ask you something.” Lavanya said and his attention turned towards her from the Parathas.

“You can ask me anything. I will answer honestly.” He said while eating.

“Where did you see me for the first time?”

He looked at her and replied, “I saw you at your grandfather’s office. I was having a meeting with your grandfather and you had come there to meet someone I guess.” She nodded, remembering that day she visited the office to meet Daksh.

He continued saying, “I came out with your grandfather after ending the meeting and there I saw you for the first time walking towards a cabin with a huge smile, and that was the moment I fell in love with you at first sight and you won’t believe it but since that moment, I wasn’t able to forget you and wanted to be with you. Finally, my wishes are coming true.”

She smiled, and they fully enjoyed their Indian breakfast. He left for his work as he had some meetings today and she left for her college with Ray.

Eden reached his restaurant for the meeting. He discussed something with the head chef regarding some changes on the menu and gave some instructions to the manager.

Eden came home from work early and went into Lavanya’s room, but she wasn’t there. He knocked on the bathroom door but didn’t get any response. He slowly opened it and checked inside but she wasn’t there also. He found it strange because she always came home before him. He went downstairs and saw Bella and Amelia working in the kitchen with other servants. He asked them about Lavanya.

“Ma’am hasn’t come home yet.” Amelia informed him.

“Why didn’t you informed me then? She always used to come home from college before me.” Eden said as his mind started thinking about all the bad possibilities. “What if she has gotten into an accident? No, this can’t happen. She can’t leave me like mom and dad. She is fine.” He tried to convince himself to calm himself down.

He came out of the kitchen and saw Ray coming in his direction with a panic stricken face.

“What happened to you? He asked, looking at him.

“Sir, Miss Lav…”

He cut him off and asked, “What happened to Lavanya and why is she not with you? Where is she?”

“Sir, Miss Lavanya is missing.”
