Billionaire’s Love From India

Lavanya was looking at the studio, sitting inside the car.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Sir is waiting for you inside.” Ray said, stepping out of the car to open the door for her.

She entered the studio, with Ray following her behind, and saw Eden sitting on the couch, waiting for her. He stood when he saw her, kissed her forehead, and signaled Ray to leave.

“Why are we here?” She asked Eden.

“We are here to choose a dress for you to wear at the Annual Ball. This is Nora, An amazing fashion designer and owner of this amazing boutique.” He said, pointing towards a lady. Lavanya smiled at her.

“Soon to be Mrs. Eden Richards is gorgeous.” Nora said, smiling.

“Umm, It’s Lavanya. We aren’t engaged yet.” Lavanya looked at Eden. He held her from the shoulders and said, “I know that we aren’t engaged yet as I haven’t proposed to you with a ring, but I asked you to marry me, and you’ve said yes, so you’re my Fiancée.” He moved closer to her, wrapping an arm around her waist and said, “I love it when everyone calls you my Fiancée.”

Nora turned to her assistant. “Show the gowns to Miss Lavanya, and help her to try them on.”

Eden sat on the couch, and Lavanya went with the assistant.

“You can choose the gown to try.” The assistant said with a smile. Lavanya started looking at the gowns, but didn’t like any as most of them were with a deep neckline, off-shoulders and revealing. She never wore such gowns or dresses in her life but she knew that she had to choose one from them. She looked at the assistant. “I am getting confused. Can you help me?”

“Sure.” The assistant selected a few gowns and took Lavanya inside the changing room. She handed the gown to Lavanya.

It was a pink off-shoulder gown with a deep neckline. Lavanya tried it, and felt uncomfortable with the deep neckline. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, “Eden is definitely not going to like it.”

She came out of the changing room to show it to him, and as she guessed it, he shook his head. “Try another one.”

She went back into the changing room, and tried an icy blue a-line gown with a front slit and cut out back, covered with flowers and butterflies. She felt uncomfortable in this one too, as her leg was exposed in this one.

She went to show it to Eden. He looked at her from head to toe and then at her back, which was visible to him through the mirror behind her. “It’s too revealing.”

She tried three more gowns, but both Eden and her didn’t like any of them. Eden asked Lavanya to sit beside him, looked at Nora and asked, “Don’t you have any better gown for her, which is not much revealing.”

“Those were my best gowns which she tried. I don’t know why you both didn’t like them.” Nora said, looking at both of them.

“I don’t want other men at the party to look at her with their lustful eyes and also, she is feeling uncomfortable wearing them. Those gowns weren’t suitable for her.” Eden said and looked around the boutique, and his eyes landed on a mannequin wearing a beautiful gown.

He went near the gown with Lavanya, and Nora followed them. It was a sleeveless red princess gown with a decent sweetheart neckline. It wasn’t too much backless like the other gowns. Its bodice was shimmery and shining, and its skirt was plain, designed with shiny hearts, but as the hearts moved down towards the end, they were wrinkled with no shine.

“It’s so beautiful!!”

“It’s Forever Love.” Nora revealed the name of that gown proudly.

“Nice name.”

“The message this gown gave is also very nice.” Nora said.

“I would like to know that message.” Lavanya said in curiousity.

“The shiny hearts in this gown tells about the start of the new love, and wrinkled hearts about the love getting old. This dress gives us the message that love between the two soulmates can get old by time, but it can never die.” Nora explained to her.

“Wow! I can’t believe someone can give such a beautiful message about love through a dress.” Lavanya said, touching the gown.

“Try this one. I really liked it.” Eden said and went back to sit on the couch. Nora also followed him. Lavanya went to the changing room to try this gown. The assistant handed her the gown and Lavanya tried it. She looked at herself in the mirror and was mesmerized to see herself in that gown. “Oh my God! I am looking so beautiful in this gown like a Disney princess. Come on Lavanya, let’s show yourself in this gown to your prince charming.”

She went out of the changing room and stood in front of Eden. She was looking like a princess, who came out in real life from those princess stories. Eden walked to her, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and said, “You’re looking gorgeous.”

He looked at Nora. “We are buying this one.”

Lavanya came back after changing and gave the dress to the assistant to pack it. Eden forwarded his card in the assistant’s direction to pay. They came out of the studio.

Lavanya sat with Eden in his car and Ray followed them in the car, which Lavanya uses to go to college. They reached home and sat inside the living room.

“I am really tired after trying all those gowns. They were too heavy and uncomfortable.”

“Don’t feel tired. You’ve to practice the Waltz with me and learn it in just three days, which I feel is a little impossible but at least you can learn the basics in just three days.” Eden said.

“I will be a professional and will perform much better than you.” She proudly smiled, looking at him which confused him.
