Billionaire’s Love From India

He went inside the balcony without saying anything to her. She opened the pack of chocolates, took out a few chocolates from it, and went after him. She unwrapped a chocolate and lifted it to his mouth. First, he looked at the chocolate in her hands and then at her.

“Don’t look at me like this. Eat this. You will feel better. Open your mouth.”

“You don’t like sharing your chocolates with others.” He said, looking at the sky.

“You’re not others. You’re a part of me, my heart, and my world.” She pouted, and he smiled, but still, sadness was clearly visible in his eyes.

He ate the chocolate and felt better. She unwrapped one more chocolate and put it inside her mouth. “Now tell me everything.”

“I can’t do this, Lavanya.”

“Sometimes, we should share our feelings or the things we have buried deep inside our heart with someone.” She said, holding his hand.

He looked in her eyes for a moment, and something in her eyes convinced him that he should share all of his past with her, as he may read her heart through her eyes, because inside her heart, she had thought that she had to know about his past to keep him happy in the future. He sat on the chair which was in the balcony and asked her to sit beside him.

He took a deep breath and started telling her about his darkest past. “I was ten years old. My mom and dad were going to meet someone. That was the last time they hugged me, and I touched them and heard their voices.” A tear rolled down his cheek. She wiped it with her finger.

“I was playing in my room with my nanny when the doorbell of the mansion rang. I excitedly went out of my room to open the door, hoping to see mom and dad, but I saw two policemen standing there, and they both gave me the most devastating news that my parents are no more in the world. I wasn’t able to believe it until my nanny took me to their funeral, and I saw my parent’s lifeless bodies, lying in the coffins with my own eyes.” He felt a sharp pain in his heart, remembering all the painful memories.

“For a moment, I thought they would get up and hug me, but reality hit me hard when I watched people burying them in the ground, with tears in my eyes. My life, and my identity, got changed in just one day. People started calling me an… an orphan.” He closed his eyes.

She also had tears in her eyes as she asked him, “Who took care of you after them?”

“My nanny for a few days, but later, I was adopted by Charles and Sarah. Charles was my dad’s friend. When he got to know about mom and dad passing away, he quickly found me and adopted me. Charles wasn’t rich, but his job was enough for him to be able to take care of me and my expenses along with his family. My dad’s lawyer also thought that it was good for me, but he was wrong. They fulfilled all my needs but never loved me and never left a chance to always made me realize that I was an orphan. Despite all of this, I was still happy because I got Jaime as my little sister, but as I grew up, I understood their intentions of adopting me.” He held the railing of the balcony tightly with his hands.

“What intentions?”

“They adopted me because of my properties, which dad left behind for me. I was going to get them back after turning eighteen years old. Charles tried to kill me many times for those properties, but somehow, I always saved myself.” He said, and she was in shock after knowing all of this and shouted, “What?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Fortunately, I was able to inform my dad’s lawyer about this, and he warned him. I got all the properties, this mansion, and my dad’s business back once I turned eighteen. I wanted to leave them as they were living like before, but Jaime has always loved me, took care of me, and treated me as her own elder brother, so only for her, I brought them a big villa and helped them to start their own business, before leaving for my further studies.” He finished his story and looked at her.

“You survived all of this alone?” She asked in disbelief, and he smiled. “Being an orphan is not easy. Even if you get adopted. Nothing changes for you. You always face problems in this cruel world because no one accepts you. You lost your childhood because this world and the situations of life forced you to grow mature at a young age.”

“I am sorry, Eden.”

“It’s alright.”

“Sarah mentioned about your mom at the party saying Indian girls are…” She didn’t complete her sentence and asked, “Was your mom…

He understood what she wanted to ask him, so before she could finish her question, he said, “Yes, my mom was Indian too.”

She remembered Sarah saying that Eden chose her for a reason. “Is this the reason he chose me because his mom was Indian too? I should ask him.” She thought.

“Is this the reason you chose me?” She asked him, and he widened his eyes. “What? No Lavanya. I chose you because I love you, not because my mom was Indian too.

She felt relieved with the answer. She smiled and asked him eagerly, “Can I see your parent’s photo?”

His expression changed as she asked him this question. He changed it before she could notice his expression, but it was late because she had noticed it.

He smiled and said, “Of Course! Let me get it.”

He went into his walk-in closet to get the photo album that had his parent’s photo. He gave the old photo album to her, and she looked at it in her hands, unable to decide whether to open it or not, after noticing Eden’s expression.
