Billionaire’s Love From India

Eden rushed inside the hospital and reached the floor of Lavanya’s room. He saw Bella standing outside the room in worry. He walked towards her. “Aunt Bella, How can this happen to Lavanya? I left her in your care.”

Before she could say anything to him, Clara stepped out of the room. Eden turned to her. “Doctor, how is she?”

“There’s nothing to be worried about. Your wife and baby, both are fine. She just felt pain because of falling and is a little bit scared because of this.” Clara assured him.

“Can I see her?”

“Of course, she is sleeping right now because of the injections and medicines so, don’t try to wake her up.” Clara left, and Eden went inside the room. He saw Lavanya peacefully sleeping, with an IV drip on her left hand.

He caressed her head and kissed her forehead. He started waiting for her to wake up. Bella also came inside the room.

Lavanya slowly opened her eyes after an hour. She blinked her eyes to adjust to the bright light and saw Eden looking at her worriedly. He caressed her cheek. “Are you feeling alright?”

“Hmm. Is baby fine?” She placed her hand on her belly.

“It’s fine. I got really scared today.” He asked Bella to call Clara. Lavanya smiled, holding his hand.

Clara came into the room with a nurse following her. “How do you feel, Lavanya?”

“I am fine, doctor.”

Clara smiled, turning to Eden. “I was thinking that we should do a sonography to see the growth of the baby. You can take her home after that.” The nurse removed the IV drip from her hand.

“Sure.” Eden helped her to get up. “Can you walk?”

Lavanya smiled. “Don’t worry.”

They followed Clara into the room where a machine was placed. She asked Lavanya to lay on the bed. Lavanya shivered, feeling a cold gel on her belly. Clara removed the small wand from the side of the ultrasound machine, and gently pressed it on her abdomen. “Look at the screen.”

Eden held her hand, and they saw a tiny figure appearing on the screen. They smiled, looking at it. Eden was trying to make himself believe that it was his child. He kissed Lavanya on the cheek, and they heard Clara’s excited voice. “Look at this, guys.”

“What happened?” They both asked at the same time, looking at the screen.

Clara pointed at another tiny figure on the screen. “You both are having twins.”

They both got a little surprised. Clara removed the device from her belly. “Everything seems almost fine. Just take good care of yourself. If you stay healthy, babies will also stay healthy.”

They came home Eden picked her up in his arms in bridal style, and took her to the room. He kissed her forehead after making her sit on the bed, and they started talking about the babies.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The second trimester of Lavanya’s pregnancy was going on. She opened her eyes in the morning and touched her belly which has become her morning habit because she likes to feel her babies.

She went in front of the mirror, and looked at her belly which was looking really big. Eden entered the room with their breakfast and smiled when he saw her standing in front of the mirror, touching her belly.

She saw him standing behind her through the mirror and blushed, feeling shy. He came near her. “We are going to have babies. Why are you still feeling shy?”

“I just feel my belly is growing too fast.”

He chuckled. “They are my double-trouble. They will grow fast.” He had started calling the babies double-trouble as one of them was a surprise.

She smacked his arm. “Don’t call my babies trouble.”

They started having their breakfast. He stayed at home with her because she wanted to spend time with him.

She was reading a novel, sitting on the bed in his arms at night when suddenly she felt the craving. She looked at him. “Eden, I want to eat Panipuri (A Indian snack which is a round hollow ball filled with a mixture of spicy flavored water, tamarind sauce, chili powder, chaat masala, potato mash, onion, or chickpeas).”

He knew what she was asking for because he had tried it in India. “Where will I find it here at night?”

“I don’t care. I want it.” She pouted.

He wasn’t in the mood to go out, so he called Jaime, but Ray answered the call. “Where are you, Jaime?”

“I am Ray. We are at home.” Ray replied.

“Can you please do me a favor, Ray?” Eden asked, and Ray laughed. “Brother, you don’t have to ask me for a favor. What can I do for you?”

“I am sending you a photo of an Indian snack. Please go to any Indian store and come to my home right now after buying it.” Eden requested.

“But what’s the emergency? You can wait till morning.”

Eden sighed. “You will understand my situation when you will have to deal with the cravings of your pregnant wife. Now reach here fast.” He cut the call, and sent the photo to Ray.

“Who was it?” Jaime asked Ray, sitting on the bed.

Ray stood up from the bed. “It was brother. Get ready. We have to go to his home.”

Jaime furrowed her eyebrows. “At this time? Why?”

Ray told everything to Jaime, and she laughed. “Okay, let’s go.”

They bought the Panipuri, and reached the mansion. Eden was waiting for them in the living room. “Thank God, you both finally came.”

He took the packet of Panipuri from Jaime, and went to the kitchen to make the spicy water. He had already told Bella too boil potatoes and make it’s mixture with onions and spices.

He took everything to the room with Jaime and Ray following him. Lavanya smiled happily, seeing the Panipuri. They started enjoying their Panipuri party together. Eden asked Jaime and Ray to sleep in Lavanya’s previous room as it was not good for them to go back home late at night.

Ray’s phone beeped with a message in the morning. He first looked at Jaime, who was sleeping by his side. He picked up the phone, and opened the message. His eyes widened when he read the message, and rushed out of the room.

He knocked on the door of Eden’s room. Eden opened the door and furrowed his eyebrows, seeing Ray standing there early in the morning. “What happened, Ray?”

“My man found the person who tried to kidnap Lavanya. His name is Louis.”
