Billionaire’s Love From India

Eden’s face lost all the colors after hearing this. He felt like the ground slipped under his feet. He yelled at Ray, “I have given her responsibility to you. You had to protect her. How can you be so irresponsible?”

“I am sorry, Sir. I waited for her for too long but didn’t see her coming out of the college. I also tried to check inside but didn’t find her.” Ray said, looking down.

“Where can she go from the college? She still must be there inside the college. Did you really checked inside the college carefully?” He asked him, and Ray shook his head.

“Let’s go and find her.” He went out of the mansion. Ray followed him outside. He sat in the driver’s seat and started driving.

Eden was sitting in the backseat of the car. He was looking really worried about Lavanya. Ray sighed and said, focusing on the road, “Sir, you can try calling her.”

Eden gritted his teeth and asked, “Does she have her phone with her? You should really do something to sharpen your weak memory.”

Ray suddenly remembered that Eden had taken her phone. Eden was regretting taking her phone from her now, in the present situation. If she had her phone with her, he must’ve called her to know about her whereabouts, and if she is fine and also, he should’ve got her location tracked down easily.

The car stopped outside the college. Eden got out of the car and ran inside the college. Ray parked the car and went to him. The security guards were still there. He asked them about Lavanya showing her photo to them.

“We haven’t seen her here, and all the students have left the college.” One of the guards informed him.

“She must be in there. Let us check inside.” Eden said, and the guards allowed them. One guard accompanied them to help.

They checked all the classrooms and other places but didn’t find her. Eden started thinking about something. He looked at Ray. “Did you check the restrooms?”

Ray shook his head. Eden took a deep breath and asked the guard, “Where are the restrooms?”

The guard directed him to the restrooms. He went inside and called her.

“Lavanya, are you here?”

He didn’t get any reply. He again called for her and heard someone’s faint sobbing coming from inside the restroom. He looked around and found a girl sitting under the washbasin. She was crying, holding her knees. Her face was hidden in her knees. He sat on one knee in front of her, and got surprised as she lifted her face and looked at him with her blurred vision.

“Lavanya, What are you doing here like this?” He extended his hand in her direction. “Come out.” She held his hand and came out. She hugged him tightly, crying. He felt her body trembling in his arms.

“Calm down, Lavanya. Why are you crying? You scared me today. I thought I lost you.” She looked at him, breaking the hug. He caressed her face, wiping her tears and asked, “What happened to you?”

She tried to calm herself and tried to say, “A…A boy t…tried to mo…. molest me.”

His eyes widened in shock. He tried to check her, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

She didn’t say anything. He held her in his arms, standing with her. He Held her close to him, and they both left the restroom.

Ray sighed in relief when he saw Lavanya safe in Eden’s arms. Eden looked at him in anger and ordered, “Go and get the car.”

They sat inside the car. Lavanya was still hugging Eden, clutching his shirt tightly in her hand as if she was afraid of him leaving her. Eden looked at her and asked, “Are you fine? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Lavanya didn’t say anything, closed her eyes and soon Eden heard her soft snores. He kissed her forehead, thinking about something.

“What happened with her, Sir?” Ray asked nervously.

“This doesn’t concern you.” Eden replied coldly and looked outside.

They reached home. Lavanya was still sleeping, and Eden didn’t want to wake her up. He held her in his arms in a bridal position, went upstairs inside her room, and gently laid her on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and felt a sharp pain in his heart, when he saw the patches of dried tears on her face. He kissed her forehead and went downstairs, only to saw Ray waiting for him.

“Come inside.”

He went inside the living room. He sat on the sofa, and Ray stood in front of him.

“Starting from tomorrow, you will go inside the college with her, not leaving her alone, even for a second. Also, find out about the boy who tried to molest her.” Eden said, and Ray asked in disbelief, “Someone tried to molest her.”

“Yes, Protect her well Ray. You know how important she is for me. Your one mistake in protecting her can cost you your life. I will kill you with my own hands if something happened to her because of you.” He warned him.

“Sorry, Sir. I will not let anything happen to her.” Ray left the living room, and Eden sat there thinking about Lavanya. He really felt special when she was hugging him tightly, clutching onto his shirt.

It was almost dinner time when Lavanya woke up. She changed her clothes and went downstairs to have dinner. They both ate their dinner in silence with Eden, looking at her while eating. She finished her dinner and stood from her chair.

“Good night, Eden.”

“Good night, Lavanya.”

She went back to her room and laid down, but sleep was away from her eyes.

It was morning. Eden was sitting in the living room, typing a mail on his laptop. He was waiting for Lavanya to join him. Amelia entered the living room and informed him, looking down at the floor, “Sir, Madam don’t want to go to college.”
