Lavanya woke up when the sun rays touched her face. She got up from the bed and went downstairs after getting ready. Eden saw her coming inside the dining room and smiled. She sat next to him with her hands on the table but didn't even look at him.
“I thought you would not come to have breakfast with me. Thank you, Lavanya.” He said and placed his hand on hers, but she quickly removed her hand. He was angry at her behavior from last night but controlled it for her.
They both had their breakfast. Eden left for work, placing a kiss on her cheek and she went inside her room. She opened her bag and took out a book from it. She was reading it when someone knocked on the door.
She opened it and saw Bella standing outside.
“Madame, these are ordered by the master for you.” Lavanya saw servants standing behind Bella, with beautiful, and expensive dresses in their hands.
“I don't need them.” She closed the door, and Bella quickly informed Eden that Lavanya refused to take the dresses. He was angry with her and decided to go home.
Eden came home and went to her room. He entered her room without knocking. He held her wrist and asked, “Why didn't you accept the dresses which I sent for you?
“I don't need them.” She said while trying to free her wrist. He held her another wrist too and turned her. Her back collided with his hard chest and he held her in his arms. She was feeling his warm breath on her neck while struggling to get out of his hold.
“Don't test my patience, Lavanya. I have been controlling my anger since last night for you.” Eden said and Lavanya stilled in his arms.
He released her and she turned to look at him. He held her face with his hands and said, “What is my mistake, Lavanya? That I love you and want to marry you.”
She was just staring into his eyes, without saying anything.
“Lavanya, I don't want to force you in any way. We will get married when you're ready. I will wait for you, but just don't hate me. I know, I used the wrong way to make you stay here with me but trust me, I love you.” Eden said and removed his hands from her face.
Lavanya was feeling happy and special because it was for the first time someone had said I love you to her. His words too, that he will not force her in any way and he will wait for her were filling her heart with warmth. She forgot all her anger because of his words and also, because she doesn't like to stay angry with the people around her and now that she was going to stay with him, she can't be angry with him, even if she wants too, for him threatening her with Daksh, but she was a little sad with the thought of not being able to go to India and call her family.
Eden called Bella and ordered her to bring all the dresses he selected for Lavanya.
“Take these, please.”
She looked at him and nodded her head.
“Okay.”
A huge smile spread on Eden's lips. The servants placed all the dresses inside the walk-in closet and left. Eden held Lavanya's hand and said, “Let's go. We will have coffee together.”
She followed him without saying anything. They sat on the sofa inside the living room, and a servant placed the coffee in front of them.
She held the cup in her hand and took a sip of her coffee. She placed the cup back on the table and asked him, “Am I allowed to study?”
He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I want to study. In India, I was going to appear for my final year exams after going back from here but now, I am going to stay here and my graduation will be left incomplete.” She said and he felt guilty.
“I am sorry.” He said in a low voice.
“It's okay but now I want to study here. You go to work daily and I get bored in this huge mansion as there is nothing for me to do.” She complained and he smiled. “Aren't you angry with me anymore?”
“I am angry but I can't express my anger so you can say that I am not angry. It's my biggest weakness. I can't express my anger with the people around me for too long and I like to keep everyone happy.” She said, taking another sip of her coffee.
“I like this. For me, it's not your weakness. Anyway, do you really want to start your studies here?” He asked and she smiled.
“Of course, not everyone from India gets the chance to study in London. I have no reason to miss this chance, and I have nothing to worry about. You're rich. You can easily cover the expenses of my education.” She said and he chuckled.
“Yes, I can. Just let me know which course you want to do, and I will get you enrolled in it.” He said and saw Bella entering with a girl. Lavanya followed his gaze and looked at them.
“Master, She is the one I was telling you about.” Bella said and Eden looked at the girl.
“What's her name?” He asked Bella.
“Amelia.”
He turned to Lavanya. “She is your personal servant from now on. If you want anything done, order her.”
“There's no need for this. I can do my own work.” She said but he was adamant, and she had to accept his decision.
After dinner, Lavanya was sitting in the room, thinking about the course she wanted to pursue and finally after thinking about it carefully, she decided on it.
She opened the door of her room and saw Amelia standing outside. She asked her, coming out of the room, “Do you know where Eden's room is?”
“Sorry madame, I don't know.” Amelia replied and Lavanya's eyes landed on Bella, who was coming in her direction. She quickly went to her and asked her, “Where is Eden's room?”
Bella pointed towards the room on the same floor. Lavanya was about to head towards his room, when Bella said, “Master doesn't like to be disturbed by anyone at this hour.”
“Don't worry.” She said and went to his room. She knocked on the door. Eden opened it, and was surprised to find her there.
“Why is she here?” Eden thought, looking at her. He asked her to come inside and she entered his room.
