Chapter 31 Leave My House
Jaime didn’t say anything else to them and again ran outside. They followed her too.
They all came to the garden only to find Lavanya and Emily facing each other, and Emily’s next action shocked all of them. She raised her hand to slap Lavanya back. Lavanya closed her eyes in fear, but before she could touch Lavanya, Eden ran in their direction and held her hand in midair, glaring at her.
Lavanya slowly opened her eyes and smiled, seeing Eden standing in front of her. Eden left Emily’s hand. “How the dare you tried touch her?”
He turned to Lavanya and asked, “Are you fine?”
She nodded with a smile. Sarah, Charles and a few guests also came there. Emily couldn’t bear that Eden was taking care of Lavanya instead of her, so she said, “Eden, You should ask me. She slapped me.”
Sarah quickly came forward. “What? She slapped you.”
“Yes, Aunty! I came here because you invited me, but she insulted me.” Emily said with her puppy eyes.
“You must’ve said something to her which angered her. You really shouldn’t have come here as an uninvited guest.” Eden glared at Emily and Sarah while saying this.
“I am not uninvited. Your mom invited me here.” Emily said confidently.
“She is not my mom, and this is my party. I will decide who can join it. Leave now.” He moved away from her.
Lavanya came forward, looked into her eyes, and said, “I can tolerate everything silently, but I will not stay silent when it comes to my self-respect, and what did you say to me that I am desperate. Then who are you?” She looked at Emily from head to toe and continued, “I think you’re a desperate one here, who is claiming an engaged man as yours.”
Eden smiled a little when he heard this.
“I… I didn’t say anything like this, and you both aren’t engaged.” Emily shouted, looking at Lavanya.
“Wrong, we are engaged. Eden proposed to me in the most romantic way.” Lavanya flaunted her diamond ring, which Eden gave to her on the night of the Annual Ball, and she didn’t remove it from her finger.
Eden wanted to dance at the moment to loud music when he saw the ring in Lavanya’s finger but controlled himself considering the present situation.
Emily looked at Eden. “She is insulting me in front of you, Eden. Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”
“Why should I?”
“We once had a relationship, Eden. I was your fiancée.” Emily reminded him. Lavanya was shocked to know about this. She looked at Eden.
Eden sighed. “Oh! you’re talking about that two weeks relationship. I also want to remind you. That relationship was forced on me. I never accepted you as my Fiancée.”
“Stop this all, Eden. You don’t care about anyone and see nothing except for this girl. Emily is our guest, and you’re insulting her.” Sarah said and glared at Lavanya. “All Indian girls are vicious and lack values. She is trapping you just like your mother trapp…
“Shut up!” Eden cut her off and shouted in anger. “Don’t forget that you’re talking about my mother and my fiancée.”
“Am I not right? Your mother killed your father along with her in that accident.” Sarah said, reminding Eden of the darkest day of his life and his past, which he is trying to forget from the fifteen years, but it’s images are still fresh in his mind.
Lavanya was looking at Eden as tears welled up in her eyes. He tried to calm himself and said, “It was an accident.”
“Your father was also crazy for your mother just like you’re for this girl, and mark my words Eden Richards, One day, she will kill you, just like your mother killed your father.” Sarah pointed at Lavanya.
“Leave my house!” Eden said in a low voice.
“What? You’re asking us to leave your house?” Sarah turned to Charles. “See Charles! this is what we get for taking care of him like our own child, not leaving him in some orphanage and giving him everything best after his parents left him alone to survive in this world.”
“I also know your intentions of adopting me at that time. Don’t force me to tell everything clearly. You also have everything because of me. Your house, your business and your luxurious life is because of my parents and me, so we are all equal here. Now, leave my house.” Eden yelled, looking at Emily.
“Let’s go, Charles. Come on, Jaime.” Sarah left with Charles making the firm decision to teach a lesson to Lavanya after everything that she did today. Jaime looked at Eden and Lavanya. Eden touched her cheek. “Everything is fine. Go with them.”
Jaime left, and Emily also followed her. All the guests left from there. Edward looked at Eden but didn’t know what to say to him. He understood that Eden is going through a lot at the present moment because Sarah has reminded him of all his painful memories.
He turned to Lavanya and said, “He is not looking well. Please take care of him.”
Lavanya nodded, and he left with Kristina. Lavanya hugged him from behind. He turned to look at her. “Don’t worry, I am fine. Go to your room and rest.”
She didn’t want to leave him but agreed after his much insisting. He also came back to his room and went to sleep after changing, but sleep was away from his eyes. He was thinking about his parents. “My life would’ve been something else if both of you should’ve survived that accident and be here with me or even if one of you should’ve survived.”
Lavanya was also trying to sleep, but her mind was making her think of Eden. She got up from the bed, took out a pack of chocolates from the side drawer, and went to Eden’s room. He opened the door, and she went inside.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Are you not feeling sleepy?”
She looked at him and said, “I want to know everything about your parents and your past.”
