Billionaire’s Love From India

She tried to remove his hand from her waist and said, “It’s all a surprise. Go and freshen up first.”

He left her and went upstairs after placing a kiss on her forehead. She gave one last look at the final decorations, giving some instructions to the servants while waiting for Eden.

He came downstairs and found her sitting in the living room with two cups of coffee placed on the table in front of her. He sat beside her. She gave him a cup of coffee.

“Thank You.” He took the sip. He looked around the living room and asked, “Why have you decorated it so much?”

“Don’t ask me any questions about this.” She warned him.

He chuckled. “I am the boss of many employees. I always like to give them orders, wanting them to fulfill my orders obediently, and now, here I am, a girl bosses me around, and I always have to listen to and fulfill her orders.”

She glared at him. He wrapped his arms around her and said, “You very well know that only you can rule over me and can give me orders, and I love to fulfill your orders.”

He talked to her about his day until it was dinner time. They walked inside the dining room, and Eden was surprised to find the dining room decorated too. “So you planned a candlelight dinner?”

Lavanya smiled. “It’s just a beginning of the surprises.”

“Are there more surprises to come?” He asked excitedly, and she nodded.

“I am waiting for them eagerly.” He pulled the chair for her first and later sat on his chair.

Bella, Amelia, and other servants placed the dishes Lavanya prepared for him and left. He looked at the dishes and said, “It looks too different. It looks like Indian food.”

“It is Indian food.” She said while serving him.

“Wow! Who cooked this? Aunt Bella?” He tasted the food.

“If you want to praise the food, tell me how it tastes because I am the chef for today.”

“You cooked this all?” He asked in disbelief. She nodded with a proud smile.

“Someone told me that she doesn’t know how to cook.” He said, enjoying the food. She slowly stuck out her tongue, and he chuckled at her actions. They enjoyed their dinner and later went to take a walk in the garden.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

After walking for about half an hour, they sat down on the chairs. Lavanya was looking at the dark sky. Eden noticed her for a moment. “You’re missing your family, right.”

“It…It’s nothing like that.” She said, looking down, and a tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped it with his thumb but didn’t say anything. In his heart, he holds the guilt of keeping Lavanya away from her family because of his selfishness in love.

They sat there for two hours as Lavanya shared about her New Year celebration with her family. “Bhai (Brother) always planned a new year party. All our cousins used to join us at our home, and we celebrated it together, waiting for the clock to get to twelve AM. After that, we all used to play games all night.” She was happily telling him about this, whereas in India, on this new year, Daksh hadn’t planned anything because he was missing Lavanya.

Eden started the countdown as only one minute was left for the year to change. They stood up and started counting together.

“One…, Two…, Three… Happy New Year.” They hugged each other. They looked at the sky, which was dark a few hours ago, now was shining with the fireworks. Lavanya held Eden’s arm, placing her head on his shoulder. “It’s our new beginning together.”

He kissed her head. They went inside the living room after the fireworks ended. “Now, What’s your plan to do here?” He asked, sitting on the sofa, and noticed that there were popcorn bowls and the two glasses of juice were placed on the table in front of him.

“It’s our Movie Night.” She announced while sitting beside him. “We will watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Today, you will watch the Harry Potter movie with me.”

She switched on the television and started the movie. She held the popcorn bowls, giving one to Eden, and started enjoying the movie with him.

They were in the middle of watching the movie when Lavanya started feeling sleepy, but she wanted to finish the movie. She laid down on the sofa, placing her head on Eden’s thigh. “I want to lay down.”

“Sure.”

He was watching the movie when he heard someone’s soft snores. He looked at Lavanya, who was sleeping peacefully and covered her properly with a blanket. He ruffled her hair smiling. After a few minutes, he also felt his eyes getting heavy with sleep. He switched off the television and looked at Lavanya, who was sleeping like a small baby on his thigh. He didn’t want to wake her up, so he settled his head against the sofa and slept there.

In the morning, Lavanya opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on someone’s thigh. She looked up, and saw Eden sleeping against the sofa. She got up, rubbing her eyes. She again looked at Eden, only to find that he was looking back at her with his half-opened eyes.

“Why did you sleep here? You should have woken me up.” She said while tying her hair.

“It’s okay. You were looking very cute while sleeping peacefully. I didn’t want to disturb your sleep.” He stood up from the sofa. They both went to their rooms.

After Holidays, they went back to their routine lives, with Lavanya getting busy in her studies and Eden with his work.

A man was talking to someone on his phone. “What should I do? Someone always accompanies her to the college or whenever she is out.”

“I don’t care, Louis. You have to do it. I want Eden’s girlfriend dead, just like I killed his parents.” The person on the other side said and hung up the call, without giving Louis any chance to say anything else.
