Chapter 48 Trust Me
“Sir, it’s really hard to kill her that easily. I had someone following her for the past few months now. Eden’s bodyguard always stays around her and sometimes Eden too.” Louis explained the situation to the other person over the call.
“I already told you that I don’t care. Just kill her. I have suffered a great loss because of her and Eden. I want Eden to suffer the pain of losing her. I will wait for the news.” The person on the other hung up the call and smirked.

Lavanya looked at Eden, who was working on his laptop. She called him and showed him the file in her hand. He was shocked when he saw that black file in her hand.
“Is this the contract that will help my brother to reach great heights?” She asked, holding the file tightly in her hands.
Eden went beside her. He took the file from her. “Yes, this is that contract.”
“You told me that you will help him in business if I agree to stay here because this was the reason I was sent here by my grandfather.” She paused for a moment. “But you didn’t tell me that my brother is personally involved in this.”
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean, Lavanya?”
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean, Lavanya?”
She opened the file and showed him Daksh’s signature. “If he isn’t personally involved in all of this, why has he signed this contract?”
“Lavanya, you’re…” She didn’t listen to him and threw the file on the floor. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “I agreed to stay here, away from him, away from mom and dad for him. I missed him, but still I stayed strong for him, but after all of this, I came to know he was also involved in this with the grandfather. He planned to play with my life just for his career.”
“He doesn’t know anything, Lavanya.” Eden tried to pull her in his arms, but she moved away from him. “Then why he has signed this contract? He doesn’t love me. He used me, and when he achieved what he wanted, he asked me to come back so that I couldn’t doubt him.”
“Lavanya, this contract was signed one year ago.” He said, and she looked at him with her wet eyes. “If your brother wanted to use you and then call you back to India after what he wanted was fulfilled, he would’ve done that one year ago. He would’ve come here to take you with him.”
He wiped her tears and pulled her into his arms. “Trust me. He really doesn’t know the truth. Your grandfather asked me to hide this truth from him because he will never be able to tolerate that your grandfather used you to build his career.”
She looked at him. “He really doesn’t know anything?”
He shook his head, then asked her when he realized, “Did you say anything to him about this?”
“No, if he gets to know about this, he will hate grandfather. I didn’t tell anyone the real reason why I chose to stay here.” She pursed her lips.
He sighed. “Good.”
She stood up to pick the file from the floor. “Is this contract really very beneficial for my brother and Shah Corporation?”
“Yes, It is.” He replied, taking the file from her.
She remembered everything that happened one year ago. “But it all happened for good as I found Eden.” She smiled looking at him.
“What are you thinking?” She sat beside him. “About this contract. I will forget everything that happened and will forgive my grandfather for everything he did with me if this contract is good for my brother.”
“You care about him a lot.” He wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She laughed, pulling his cheek. “Don’t be jealous of my brother.”

“Jaime, why did you call me here?” Ray asked her, sitting in front of her.
“I want to tell my brother about our relationship.” She announced, taking a sip of her cold coffee.
He didn’t know how to react to her announcement. “I respect your decision Jaime but don’t you think it’s too early. I mean we just started dating.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She placed her hand on his. “Please understand, Ray. You’re my brother’s bodyguard. I don’t want him to doubt you or blame you when he gets to know about our relationship later. Let’s tell him before it’s late. I know he will accept us, and in the future, he will help us to convince mom and dad too. ”
He understood her worries, and agreed to go to meet Eden with her. Ray took a deep breath before entering his cabin.
“Don’t worry. It will be fine.” Jaime held his hand, and entered Eden’s cabin with him after knocking on the door. Eden was enjoying coffee with Lavanya. He smiled seeing Jaime, but his smile disappeared when he saw her holding Ray’s hand. Lavanya noticed Eden’s expression and got worried about Ray and Jaime.
“Brother, I want to talk to you.”
“Okay. What do you want to talk about?” Eden asked while placing the cup on the table.
“Brother, I lov…love Ray.”Eden stood up from the sofa when he heard her saying this. He held her from the shoulders and yelled at her in anger, “Do you understand what you’re saying, Jaime? He is my bodyguard. He will never be able to give you the life you deserve. How can you fall in love with him?”
Tears welled up in Jaime’s eyes as Eden left her shoulders. “I will never accept this relationship.”
Eden left the cabin. Lavanya came near Jaime. “I am going to talk to him. You both will not leave the cabin.” She turned to Ray. “I will make him accept your relationship. It’s your sister’s promise. Trust me.”
She went out of the cabin. She asked about Eden from a colleague there. She followed the directions and found him standing in front of the huge glass window. She walked to him.
“I am going back to India.” She said, and Eden turned to look at her with wide eyes, so she further added, “Without you.”
