Billionaire’s Love From India

Eden and Lavanya finished their dance. Everyone clapped for them, and they came back to join Jaime and Edward.

“Wow! You just performed so perfectly, Lavanya. I am impressed. You really learned to perform the waltz in just three days.” Jaime said, and both Lavanya and Eden laughed, looking at each other.

“She already knew how to perform it!” Eden said, and Jaime looked at Lavanya in surprise. “Really, you already knew?”

Lavanya nodded. “You’re really awesome.”

Eden chuckled and turned to Lavanya, “Lavanya, I am going to discuss something with our business associates. I will try to join you soon as you know I can’t stay away from you. Till then, Jaime will keep you company.”

“Okay. Come back soon.”

Eden went with Edward, and Jaime took Lavanya with her to meet her friends. Jaime introduced Lavanya to her friends.

“Jaime, your Sister-in-law is so gorgeous.” Her friend said.

“Of course! She is gorgeous. That is the reason my brother loves her very much.” Jaime said, winking at Lavanya.

“You’re very lucky.” Jaime’s friend Alice said to Lavanya.

“How?” Lavanya asked her.

“You will be marrying the heartthrob of London very soon. All the girls of London are crazy about him and wish to be him, but he wants to be with you. I also dream about marrying him, and it really broke my heart when I saw him with you today.” Alice smiled.

Lavanya didn’t know what to say to her. “I am really very sorry, but I guess it’s all about destiny because I feel he is my destiny. That’s why I am here with him today.” They all understood that she was just saying this without thinking, but she knew the meaning behind her words really well. If it weren’t because of her written destiny with Eden, her grandfather shouldn’t have met Eden, he shouldn’t have saw her at the office, and shouldn’t have asked her grandfather to send her to him.

Jaime got busy with her friends. Lavanya felt thirsty and excused herself from the group to get a drink. She was waiting for her drink when someone tapped on her shoulder. She turned to look at the person and got scared looking at the person standing in front of her.

Eden was talking with his business associates, enjoying drinks with them on the terrace when they all heard the sounds of the heels clicking. A girl wearing a black dress, with a matching pair of the pencil heels was walking towards them. All eyes turned in her direction. Eden was shocked looking at that girl.

“Excuse me, Gentlemens.” She said in her sweet voice. She turned to Eden. “Mr. Richards, I would like to have a word with you.” Everyone left them alone on the terrace, including Edward.

Eden stared at her, gritting his teeth, and asked, “Who invited you here, Emily?”

“You can ask this question to your mother, baby.” Emily said, hugging him.

“Get away from me. You know I hate you.” He shouted, pushing her away.

“Come on baby, Is this a way to treat your ex-fiancée? We were in love once.” She smirked, trying to hold his hand but he didn’t let her.

“You already know that you were forced on me. I never loved you.” He said, looking inside the hall.

“I know who you love? Your stupid Indian girlfriend.” She said, looking at him.

“Go away from my life, Emily.” He was about to go inside when he heard her, shouting from behind, “I will not. Your Indian girlfriend will go away from your life.”

He turned to look at her in anger. He moved closer to her and said, “She will never leave me, stop dreaming.”

Inside the party hall, The boy who molested Lavanya at college was standing in front of her. Lavanya was scared looking at him, and he was smiling, looking at her. She tried to go away, but he stopped her. Her heartbeat was racing, and she remembered the moment when he molested her at the college.

“Hey sweetheart, I never thought of meeting you at this party.” He said happily.

Lavanya gulped the lump formed in her throat and looked around for Eden but he was nowhere to be seen. He suddenly held Lavanya’s waist, pulled her closer, and tried to kiss her. The people near them were looking at them, but no one came to help Lavanya. She struggled to get out of his hold, moving her face away from her.

When her struggles failed, she pressed his foot with her heels, and he yelled in pain, leaving Lavanya. She ran from there and collided with the waiter, who was walking with a tray in which glasses full of drinks were kept. All the drinks spilled on her dress, and the waiter apologized to her.

She looked around and saw that all the people at the party were staring at her, and all the girls were laughing at her. Her eyes fell on Sarah, who was looking at her in despise. Tears welled up in her eyes. Edward and Jaime moved near her.

“Are you okay, Lavanya?” They both asked her at the same time.

She didn’t say anything to her. Eden walked inside and saw Lavanya crying. He walked near her and cupped her face to wipe her tears. The boy who molested got a little scared when he saw Eden with her, but didn’t run from there.

He asked Jaime, “What happened to her?”

“I don’t know, brother. She collided with the waiter, and all the drinks spilled on her dress.” Jaime said, looking at Lavanya with a worried look.

Eden felt Lavanya shivering. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders.

“What happened, Baby?” He asked her.

She looked at him with her blurred vision because of tears. “He is here.”

“Whom are you talking about?” He asked, looking around.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“The boy who tried to molest me at college. He tried to molest me again.” She said, and his expression darkened.
