Billionaire’s Love From India

The birds were chirping outside, and the rays of bright sun, entering through the balcony, kissed her beautiful face. She covered her face with the duvet, as the sun rays disturbed her sleep.

“Lavanya, wake up. You’re getting late for your college.” Her mother, Sakshi said while knocking on the door. Lavanya removed the duvet from her body, stood up from the bed, and opened the door for her mother.

Sakshi entered her room and said, “Get ready fast and come down for breakfast. You know your grandfather doesn’t like anyone being late for breakfast.”

“I don’t care about him, mom. He also doesn’t love me or care about me.” She said and went into the bathroom.

“He is your grandfather. You should show some respect towards him even if he doesn’t show any love towards you.” Sakshi said and Lavanya sighed.

“I will be ready in ten minutes.” She said and Sakshi left her room. She got ready after taking a quick shower and went downstairs. She entered the dining room and sighed in relief when she didn’t see her grandfather there.

“Good morning, Dad.” She greeted her father, Aakash.

“Good morning, princess.”

She sat down on her chair beside her brother, Daksh who was looking at her and said, “You should wake up early.”

“I know that Bhaiya(Brother) but I can’t get up this early.” She said with a pout and saw her grandfather, Jai entering the dining room. She prepared herself to get scolded for getting up late from her grandfather, and closed her eyes but what he did surprised her. She opened her eyes and saw her grandfather placing his hand on her back, looking at her with eyes full of love.

“What’s wrong with him today? He always used to scold me and always told me to stay away from him but today he is showing his love for me.” She thought while trying to read her grandfather’s thoughts and the next thing he did surprised her and everyone even more. He kissed her forehead and sat on his chair.

She asked in a whisper to her brother, “Is grandpa fine? Why is he showering so much love on me?”

Daksh placed his finger on his lips to tell her to stop speaking and she looked at her grandfather again. Daksh looked at her and said, “Finish your breakfast. I will drop you at college.”

Lavanya finished her breakfast and left with her brother. She was sitting on the passenger seat of the car beside her brother, who was driving carefully.

“Bhaiya, Aaj dadaji ko kya ho gaya tha, achanak se mere upar itna pyaar aa raha tha unhe(Brother, What had happened to Grandpa today? He was showering so much love on me all of a sudden.)

“You’re so used to getting scolded by him that you can’t even understand his love for you.” Daksh replied and she pouted, but inside his heart, he was also finding it strange that why his grandfather, who hated Lavanya since her birth and always used to scold her, has showered lots of love on her today?

Daksh stopped the car in front of her college. She stepped out of the car. She was about to enter the college, but turned to look at Daksh and smiled, waving her hand at him. He smiled at her and drove the car to his office. He entered the office and went to Aakash’s cabin.

“Dad, I need to talk about something.” He said and Aakash asked him to sit.

“What happened?”

“Dad, I am having a strange feeling about the change in grandpa’s behaviour towards Lavanya.” Daksh said and Aakash also started thinking about it.

Lavanya entered her classroom and met her best friend, Shreya. They both sat on their seats. Lavanya took out a book from her bag and started reading it. Shreya saw her reading the book and said, “Can’t you add some fun in your life?”

Lavanya lifted her eyes from the book to look at her and asked, “What’s wrong with reading a book?”

“Just look around you, Lavanya. No one has a book in their hands. Everyone is having fun. Let’s go out and enjoy ourselves.” Shreya said, holding her hand.

“You’re planning to get a billionaire husband but I am planning to be a billionaire.” Lavanya said and focused back on her book.

“Atleast, my billionaire husband will give me lots of money and a luxurious life.” Shreya said, placing her hand on her cheek pretending to imagine it.

Lavanya chuckled at her while reading the book.

In the evening, Jai was thinking about something in his room. He was lost in deep thoughts, and didn’t realise that his phone was ringing. He picked it up from the bed when he felt its vibration and looked at the number on the screen.

He stared at the number for a few seconds before finally deciding to answer it. He was about to answer it, but the phone stopped ringing. He sighed and called on that number, waiting for the call to get connected. The call got connected after a few rings, and a deep voice reached his ears.

“Hello, Mr. Shah.”

“Hello, Mr. Eden Richards.” Jai replied.

“I called you to know about your promise to me. Hope you remember it.” Eden said and Jai took a deep breath before finally replying to him.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I remember it and I am trying to fulfill it.” He said and heard Eden’s laugh.

“Don’t try. You should fulfill your promise and I will help your grandson in business but if you don’t, I will stop your grandson’s career in business before he could even start it.” Eden said calmly, but Jai panicked on the other side. “No, no, no, I will do whatever you want.”

“I want her soon. Send her as soon as possible.”

“I will send her. She is not important to me. I don’t care about her but I do care a lot about my grandson. You will not do anything with my grandson’s career.” Jai said, thinking about Daksh.

“Okay.” Eden cut the call and looked at the buildings outside through the huge glass window of his cabin.
