Billionaire’s Love From India

Edward, Kristina, and Lavanya also looked at her. Edward and Kristina were surprised to see her there. Edward moved forward and asked Eden, “Bro, Why did you invite Emily here?”

Lavanya furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Emily’s name. “So, She is Emily, but what’s her relationship with Eden?”

“I didn’t invite her.” Eden said, and his eyes again landed on Emily. It was not difficult to believe the scene taking place in front of his eyes. His eyes raged with anger when he saw Sarah hugging Emily. He understood that Sarah invited her here. Jaime also understood this.

Lavanya looked at Eden and clutched his arm, but he didn’t notice her as his eyes were set on Emily and Sarah. She wanted to ask him about his relationship with Emily but stopped herself after noticing Eden’s expression.

“Brother, I think you and Lavanya should share a dance together. After all, it’s a special occasion and your first Christmas together.” Jaime said, trying to calm down the situation because she knew that Eden could vent his anger on anyone, even on Lavanya.

Eden took a deep breath to calm himself and looked at Lavanya, whose eyes were full of worry for him. He blinked his eyes to make her sure that he is fine, held her hand into his with a smile, and they started dancing together, moving to the soft music. He held her waist, lifted her up, and took a few spins. Everyone watched them with happy expressions, but Emily was looking at them in anger.

They finished their dance, and then Edward suggested performing the ritual of kissing under the mistletoe between every couple present there.

“You should go first then!” Eden smirked.

“Sure, I will go first.” Edward held the mistletoe in his hand and went to Kristina.

“What is this ritual about?” Lavanya asked Eden as she watched Edward holding the mistletoe up.

“It is believed that a couple kissing under the mistletoe ensures themselves of a long, and happy life in the marriage. This signifies love and romance.” Eden explained to her as they both saw Edward kissing Kristina standing under the mistletoe.

“It’s a nice ritual, but what if someone doesn’t want to do it?” She asked him nervously while gulping the lump formed in her throat.

“You don’t want to do it with me?” She silently shook her head at his question.

“It is considered as bad luck to refuse a kiss under a mistletoe.” He replied, and she looked nervously at Edward and Kristina. They parted, and Edward removed a berry from the mistletoe he was holding.

“Why did he remove a berry?”

“It’s just a tradition. Once all the berries are plucked, kisses are no longer allowed under that mistletoe.” He said, watching another couple kissing.

After three couples, it was finally Lavanya and Eden’s turn. Eden took the mistletoe, looked at Lavanya, and lifted it up above their heads. Jaime, Kristina, and Edward were excited to see them kissing , whereas, on the other hand, Emily and Sarah were looking at them detest fully.

She felt her heartbeat increasing when he placed his hand on her waist and pulled her closer to him. She felt that her heart would jump out of her throat. She closed her eyes in nervousness, but her rapidly beating heart calmed down when his lips touched her forehead. She opened her eyes to find him smiling.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“This is not done.” Edward was disappointed.

“Yes, brother. You should kiss her on the lips.” Jaime said, looking at Eden.

Lavanya was again looking nervous, and her heart again started thumping loudly. Edward came forward with Jaime and Kristina following him.

“Kiss her on the lips!” Edward said, like giving orders to him.

Eden looked into Lavanya’s eyes, and nervousness was clearly visible in her eyes. He tried to convince Edward. “Leave it, guys.”

“No, brother, We can’t leave this. Kiss her!”

“Come on! Eden. You have to do it.” Kristina said this time.

They all were forcing him. Left with no choice, He again held her waist and gently pressed his lips against her soft lips, kissing her softly.

Everyone cheered for them except for Sarah and Emily. Eden broke the kiss and looked at Lavanya, whose face was red like a tomato. He plucked the berry to complete the ritual.

After this, Everyone again started enjoying the party. Some of the people went to have dinner. Eden went to have a drink with Edward, and Lavanya went to the garden alone, thinking about the moment when Eden kissed her. She was blushing while looking towards the sky. Emily too followed her.

Lavanya was smiling when she saw her coming in her direction. Emily stood in front of her, crossed her arms around her chest, and said, “I don’t want to waste my time with you. I just want to warn you.” Lavanya furrowed her eyebrows. “Stay away from Eden. He is mine, and he will be mine soon.”

“Excuse me! I don’t understand what you are trying to say.” Lavanya said, trying to walk away from her, but Emily held her wrist to stop her. “Oh, come on! I know girls like you really well. You are just a desperate girl who wants to climb on Eden’s bed and then get pregnant with his child to trap him for his money.” Emily said sarcastically.

Lavanya was shocked knowing that someone could have such a bad opinion about her. She looked at her in anger. She wanted to slap her hard but clenched her fists to control herself and took a deep breath.

“Why are you silent? Is it because you know that I am thinking right about you?” Emily asked and laughed. This time, Lavanya lost her control and slapped Emily hard with all her force.

Jaime, who came out to call Lavanya inside, saw this. She hurried inside, where Eden was enjoying his drink with Edward and Kristina. They got worried seeing her panicked face.

“Brother, something big happened.”
