She Is In Danger
Eden’s expression darkened. “Tell your man to keep an eye on Louis. We have to catch him today.”
“Okay.” Ray left to call his man.
Lavanya decided to have breakfast downstairs as Jaime and Ray were also with them. Bella served the breakfast. Eden and Ray were eating breakfast in a hurry as they had to go to find the kidnapper. Lavanya looked at both of them. “You both can eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the plates from you.”
They started eating slowly, and as soon as they finished their breakfast, Eden left with Ray, asking Jaime to stay with Lavanya.

Charles angrily came downstairs. Sarah was confused by his behavior. A servant came with a glass of juice for him. He threw the glass on the floor instead of drinking water from it. Sarah came near him. “What happened, Charles?”
Charles sat down on the sofa. “Our business is going to shut down soon. Since Aaron Rodriguez has terminated the contracts with our company, no other company is ready to sign any partnership deal with us and the companies with whom our partnership was going on, they also terminated the contracts causing us to lose millions.”
Sarah gritted her teeth. “It’s all because of that Lavanya. I will teach her a lesson now. Let’s go to Eden’s mansion.”
She was about to go out but Charles stopped her. “Where do you want to go? Eden will get to know that we hired the men to kidnap Lavanya to kill her.”
“I don’t care. Let’s go.” Sarah went out of the house and left with no option, Charles followed her outside.

Eden and Ray reached the address Ray’s man had given to him. Ray met his man, who was secretly keeping an eye on the apartment of the kidnappers. “Are they still inside?”
“Yes, Sir.” The man replied.
Ray nodded, walking in front of the apartment door with Eden. He rang the doorbell. A boy opened the door and got scared, seeing Eden and Ray there.
The boy tried to run outside, but Ray held him by the neck, taking him inside the apartment. Louis also got shocked, seeing them there. Eden held Louis by his collar and started beating him. “Why did you attempt to kidnap Lavanya?”
“Please leave me, Sir.” Louis requested him, but Eden didn’t listen to him. “Tell me, who hired you to kidnap her?”
Eden stopped beating him to let him answer. Louis hissed in pain, trying to speak. “I can’t reveal his name. He will kill me.”
Eden punched him on the face. “I will also kill you if you don’t reveal his name.”
Louis wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “It…It’s Charles. He…he ordered me to kidnap your wife and kill her, and…”
“And? Say it.”
“He also killed your parents.”
“Ray, ask your man to not let him run away.” Eden punched him one last time, leaving the apartment. Ray followed him, giving orders to his man. Eden was feeling angry with Charles. He reached his home with Ray, but a servant informed him that Charles had just left with Sarah to go to his place.
Eden started worrying about Lavanya. He quickly drove to his mansion. His eyes were red with anger.

Charles and Sarah reached Eden’s house and went inside in anger. A servant, who was working outside the mansion called someone when he saw them entering the mansion. “Aaron Sir, Charles and Sarah are here. I believe they’re here to harm madam.”
Aaron quickly stood up from his chair. “I am reaching there.”
“Where are you going, Dad?” Gavin asked him.
“To Eden’s house. You’re coming with me.” Aaron left his cabin. Gavin followed him. “But Dad, why are we going there?”
“To save your sister-in-law. She is in danger.” Aaron sat inside the car with Gavin.
“Lavanya? How do you know that she’s in danger?”
“I paid the servants working in Eden’s mansion to inform me if Sarah or Charles visit there.” Aaron replied, taking a deep breath.

Lavanya was sitting alone in the living room as Jaime was taking rest in the room because she wasn’t feeling well. Lavanya surprised to see Sarah and Charles there. “What you both are doing here?”
“We are here to talk to you.” Sarah sat down on the sofa, looking at her with a piercing gaze.
“What do you want to talk about?”
“Do you know we have suffered a huge loss in business because of you?” Sarah gritted her teeth. Lavanya furrowed her eyebrows. “Because of me? I have nothing to do with your business.”
Sarah stood up angrily. “You’ve everything to do with our business. Eden had beaten Aaron Rodriguez’s Son, Gavin Rodriguez because of you, and that’s why, he terminated all of his contracts with our company. No other company is ready to sign a deal with our company because of this.”
“I am sorry about this, but I can’t do anything in this.” Lavanya said, calmly. Charles was silently watching everything.
“You’re just like your mother-in-law. She was bad luck for your father-in-law, and you’re bad luck for us.” Sarah smirked, and Lavanya’s blood boiled in anger. “Don’t forget you’re talking about my mother-in-law.”

Eden stepped out of his car and entered the mansion with mixed expressions of anger and worry. He saw Charles and Sarah sitting in front of Lavanya. He went there. “What are you both doing here?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Ray also came inside. Sarah got up from the sofa, seeing him because she didn’t expect Eden to appear there. She panicked. “I am here to talk with my dear daughter-in-law.”
“Oh really!” Eden sat down on the sofa beside Lavanya. “Then I would like to know what do you wanted to talk about with her.”
“We…we wanted to…to know about her health. After all, my grandchild is going to come in this world.” Sarah pretended to smile.
Eden raised his eyebrow. “Since when did you started taking care about my wife or my kids?”
Sarah didn’t know how to reply to his question. Charles felt a change in Eden’s behavior and he felt that Eden knows he is trying to harm Lavanya. Eden narrowed his eyes, looking at both of them. “Stop pretending. I know you both are trying to kill her.” He shouted in anger.
Lavanya looked at Eden in shock. Jaime woke up with Eden yelling and came out of the room, surprised to find Sarah and Charles there, who were equally shocked to see Jaime.
They both don’t want her to know that they’re behind Lavanya’s kidnapping, so Sarah asked Eden in anger. “What proof do you have to prove this?”
Eden smirked, looking at Charles. “You asked Louis to kidnap Lavanya and kill her.”
“What?” Jaime shouted, looking at her parents, unable to believe what she just heard. Charles widened his eyes in surprise when Eden mentioned Louis’s name. “You…you’re lying.”
“Okay. I may be lying about this, but will you also deny that you and your wife had nothing to do with my parent’s accident?” Eden looked at him with sharp eyes. Jaime was not able to believe this all. She held Ray’s hand.
Charles panicked. “You have proof of us behind Lavanya’s kidnapping, but you don’t have proof about us being responsible for your parent’s accident.”
“I have proof about it.” A voice came from the entrance of the living room, and Charles widened his eyes, seeing Aaron standing there with Gavin.
