Jaime’s eyes fell on her hand, on which a handkerchief was tied, and there was a patch of blood on the handkerchief. “Oh My God! What happened to your hand, Lavanya?”
Lavanya and Ray didn’t want Jaime to know that someone had tried to kidnap Lavanya. Ray asked Jaime to call Eden and inform him about them taking Lavanya to the hospital.

Eden was having a meeting with his staff. He held the meeting to attend the call. He answered it immediately, seeing Jaime’s name flashing on the screen. “What’s up, Jaime?”
“Brother, Lavanya got a cut on her hand. We are taking her to the hospital. Please reach there as soon as possible.” Jaime said, and Eden cut the call, rushing out of the meeting room, leaving his staff behind confused.
He reached the hospital and asked about Lavanya at the reception. “She is in the room which is at the corner of this floor.”
He thanked the receptionist, running in the direction of the room. He hurriedly entered the room and saw the nurse treating Lavanya’s wound. Jaime and Ray were standing there. He asked the nurse, “How is she?”
“She needs care. The cut on her palm is a little deep.” The nurse replied, cutting the bandage.
“You can take her home.” The nurse left the room, taking all the medical stuff with her.
Eden sat in front of Lavanya. She hugged him tightly as tears flowed down her cheeks. Eden caressed her back to calm her down. He made her drink some water when she calmed down. He wanted to ask Ray what had happened but stopped himself, seeing Lavanya’s condition. He helped her to stand. “Let’s go home.”
They all took her home. Bella got worried, looking at the bandage on her hand. Eden asked Bella and Jaime to take her to the room. He turned to Ray. “What happened to her?”
“Someone tried to kidnap her. There was a boy and a man.” Ray said, and he gritted his teeth. “Did you see them? Who is after her.”
Ray nodded. “Yes, but I don’t think they have anything to do with her. There’s someone else after her.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“We will briefly discuss this some other time. Lavanya needs me right now, but try to find that boy and that man. They can lead us to the person who wants to harm Lavanya.” He started climbing the stairs, and Ray followed him.
They entered the room only to find Lavanya crying. Bella left the room. Jaime held Ray’s hand and left without saying anything.
Eden pulled Lavanya into his arms, sitting beside her. “Is it hurting?” He caressed her hand.
She gulped the lump formed in her throat. “I got very scared. If Ray wouldn’t have come to save me, I should’ve died…”
He covered her mouth, not allowing her to finish the sentence. “Don’t you ever say this again.”
He removed his hand from her mouth, kissing her hair.

Lavanya was helping Jaime in getting ready for her wedding. She came out of the dressing room and found Ray and Eden standing in the hallway. She went near them. She heard them talking about something related to her kidnapping.
Ray saw her standing behind Eden and stopped talking. He excused himself, walking inside the hall. She guessed that Eden was trying to find the person who tried to kidnap her. She went closer to him. “Are you trying to find the person who tried to kidnap me?”
“I will find them.”
She held his hand. “Forget about it. It’s a happy day for all of us, and it’s your sister’s wedding, so go and look after the arrangements of the wedding cake and the food for the guests. Do some brother’s job. Remember on our Indian wedding, how Daksh Bhai was handling everything?”
“Yeah! I remember that. I am going.” He left, and she went back to the room where Jaime was getting ready.
Jaime was looking nervous. “Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something.”
“Sure.” She smiled.
“What did you feel on your wedding day?” Jaime bit her lower lip.
She held Jaime by her shoulders from behind. “I was nervous but everything but when I held Eden’s hand at the altar and looked into his eyes. Everything felt great.”
Charles came to take Jaime. Lavanya kissed Jaime’s cheek. “All the best.”
She left the room to join Kristina as they both were bridesmaids. Her eyes met with Eden, who stood behind Ray.
Everyone stood up when Jaime walked down the aisle with Charles. “Take care of her.” He placed her hand on Ray’s hand and went to sit beside Sarah.
The ceremony started, and Jaime and Ray read their custom vows which they wrote for each other. They sealed their wedding relationship by giving each other rings. The priest announced them as husband and wife. “You may kiss the bride.”
Ray placed his lips on Jaime’s, kissing her softly. Everyone cheered for them. Later, they all enjoyed the wedding reception. Jaime was feeling very happy, marrying the love of her life.
Eden hugged her and turned to Ray. “You remember my warning right. Take care of her, or I will not spare you if I see tears in her eyes.”
Jaime chuckled. She sat inside the car with Ray, and they both started a beautiful journey in their lives together.

Lavanya was sleeping till late in the morning because it was the weekend. Eden entered the room with a tray in his hands. He placed it on the table and tried to wake Lavanya. “Wake up, baby.”
“Let me sleep, Eden.” She turned around, pulling the blanket all over her head.
He removed the blanket from her face. “Baby, I have a surprise for you.”
She sat on the bed and blinked her eyes. “What is it?”
He placed the tray in front of her. She looked at the sandwiches, the glasses of juice, the slice of brownies, the cookies, and the card with a rose in it. She picked it up and read, “Happy Wedding Anniversary, my beautiful wife.”
She smiled at Eden. “Happy Wedding Anniversary.” She pecked him on the lips. “Thank you so much.”
“I have specially made breakfast for my gorgeous wife.” He fed her a slice of brownie.
“Really, you did this for me?” She asked in disbelief.
He kissed her cheek. “I love to pamper my wife.” They enjoyed breakfast together and later, he took her for some outing and lunch. Lavanya felt very happy.

Eden had determined that he would find the person who tried to kidnap Lavanya. He went to a cafe and found the person he was here to meet sitting near the window. He walked towards him. The person stood up when he saw him. “Why did you call me here, Eden?”
“I want to talk to you, Gavin. Sit down.” Eden sat in front of him.
