Billionaire’s Love From India

Daksh was getting ready for his engagement. He was wearing an off-white tuxedo with a light pink shirt underneath and a light pink tie. He was badly missing Lavanya. Sakshi entered the room to get him. “Let’s leave Daksh, or else we will be late.”

“I will join you downstairs soon, mom.” He fixed his tie, looking in the mirror to avoid Sakshi’s eyes because he didn’t want her to sense his sadness, but Sakshi had already noticed it. “Are you not happy?”

He looked down. “I am. Niharika is a nice girl. It’s just that I am missing Lavanya.”

“Even I wish she was here.” She touched his cheek. “She must miss you a lot too, and she will be very angry with you when she gets to know that you got engaged without her. You should prepare yourself to bear her anger.”

He sighed. “I just want her to come here with that boy whom she was going to marry. I want to see if she is really happy with him or not.”

They were talking about Lavanya when Aakash entered the room. “Sakshi, I asked you to bring him downstairs, and here you started talking with him happily.”

He hugged Daksh. “Let’s go son otherwise, you will become the first boy who will make his fiancée wait for himself.” Daksh chuckled, and they all left to reach the venue for engagement.

Rakesh and Aarti welcomed them. The environment was very lively with all the guests. Daksh was sitting on the decorated couch waiting for Niharika when Shreya came to meet him with Abhir.

“Congratulations, Bhai (Brother).” She hugged Daksh.

“Thank you, Shreya.” He ruffled her hair and hugged Abhir.

“Lavanya would’ve been really happy if she was here, but she is busy in her own life with her husband.” Shreya said, and Daksh looked at her, furrowing his eyebrows. “Husband?”

Shreya smiled. “Yes. I met her in Paris. She was there with her husband. I must say that Jai Dadu really played Cupid between Lavanya and her husband.”

“What?” Daksh looked at Jai, who was sitting with his friends, then back at Shreya.

Shreya realized that Daksh didn’t know about it, and also remembers Lavanya telling her about Daksh being angry with her because of her marriage. She mentally slapped herself inside her head for mentioning Lavanya’s husband in front of Daksh on his big day while looking at him.

Daksh was waiting for her to speak. She took a deep breath. “Lavanya told me that when she came to London, she thought that she would be staying at the hotel, but Grandpa had already told her husband that she would stay with him in London. So, she stayed with him and fell in love with him.”

Daksh wasn’t ready to believe that in just one week, Lavanya could fall in love with a man and decide to leave her studies and family to live with him. He looked at Jai with suspicion because in his heart, he had a doubt that Jai was the reason behind everything that happened with Lavanya.

He turned to Shreya. “What’s her husband’s name?”

“Eden.” She replied, and Daksh found the name familiar. He was thinking about it when he heard Shreya’s voice as she said, “Lavanya asked me to tell you that she will come back to meet you and everyone soon.”

“Really! She will come.” He wanted to ask her more about Lavanya but stopped when he saw Niharika walking in his direction with a smile on her face. He excused himself from Shreya and went forward to bring Niharika on the stage.

The engagement ceremony started. Daksh slid the diamond ring on Niharika’s ring finger, and lots of rose petals showered on them. Daksh was smiling from the outside, but from inside, he was thinking about Lavanya and her husband during the entire engagement function.

At night too, he was thinking about her remembering Shreya’s words and fell asleep soon because of tiredness.

Eden was working hard to finish all his work. He had called some of his employees at the mansion for work as Lavanya wasn’t feeling well, and he didn’t want to leave her alone.

Instead of resting in the room, Lavanya was sitting beside him, with a thin blanket wrapped around her. She was silently watching him working with his employees.

“Excellent guys. Now, I hope you all can handle everything in my absence.” He looked at his employees, and they all said in unison, “Yes, Sir.”

Bella entered the living room with a tray in her hand. She served cold coffee to everyone and gave green tea to Lavanya. “Aunt Bella, I don’t want green tea. I am fine now. I don’t have a cold or fever. I want chocolate milk.”

Bella looked at Eden, who signaled her to leave, and later turned to Lavanya. He whispered in her ear, “Drink this, Lavanya. Remember, we are going shopping tomorrow because you want to buy gifts for your family. How will you go if you don’t get well?”

Lavanya made a cute face and started drinking green tea.

The next day at the shopping mall, Lavanya was roaming around the mall with Eden in search of perfect gifts for her family, totally unaware of the person who was following her. She was choosing shirts for Daksh and Aakash. The person who was following her entered the store and stood behind them.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

When Eden saw her fumbling through the shirts, he laughed. “Did you take this much time when you were choosing the shirt for me to gift it on my birthday?”

“No, but choosing for Daksh Bhai and Dad is hard.” She held two light color shirts in her hands.

“I am excited to go to India and meet your family. I can’t wait to get there.” Eden smiled, and the person who was following her got surprised when he heard Eden. He quickly stepped out of the shop and called Louis after coming out of the mall.

“What’s the matter?” Louis asked as soon as he answered.

“Sir, Eden Richards is taking her to India.” He informed Louis, and he freaked out. “What? This is not good. How will we succeed in our plan? Charlie Richards will not let me go if I didn’t kill her.”
