Diya, Saanvi and Navya

Lucas came in to see Violet in a depressed mood. He gathered her up in his arms and consoled her. After making sure that she is well dressed, he covered he with a duvet.

He made investigations and found out that Violet's maternal grandmother had haunted her and was ill.

📳"Get the jet ready for the flight to India. Make sure everything is in place", he hung up on the call.

He got the maids to prepare her and the kids and then he took them to the car prepared for them.

"Uncle handsome, where are going to?" Natalie asked Lucas

"We are going to visit beautiful aunty's grandma. She is ill, so we are going to India".

"Wow", she jumped up and down.

On their way to the airport, Violet woke up and looked around.

"Where are we going to?"

"On our way to India"

"What?"

"Calm down. I got this covered".

"How did you know that...."

"Your grandmother is ill and needs urgent surgery?"

"Then.....", she stuttered.

"Treasure, I have my ways okay".

"Okay, I believe whatever you say. as long as my grandmother is fine, we will talk about this later", she rolled her eyes at him and he chuckled.

At the airport, he passed through the private passage and they boarded the jet. Violet was amazed at the interior decor and the gadgets in the jet. The kids were not left out as their mouth was left agape.

Lucas led them to their bedrooms and they settled in after a warm shower.

The chef prepared a buffet for them and they stuffed themselves to their fill. Lucas found a quiet corner to work.

His assistant had sent all his work documents to his mailbox. Violet made sure the kids slept before she went to meet Lucas. She didn't remember packing clothes for the journey but surprisingly there was a wardrobe filled to the brim with nightwear and casual wear both for her and the kids.

Her nightie was almost transparent and by then the staff had retired to their different positions. Lucas minimized the workspace on his laptop and kept it aside.

"I hope I'm not disturbing you"

"I wish", he made her sit on his lap.

Violet blushed and glared at him, " how did you know my clothes size?"

"Do you romance you for nothing? If I don't know that bit of information about you am I got to be called your boyfriend?"

"Pervert", she mumbled

"Exclusive only to you".

"Lucas, this whole jet, car, everything is so strange to me. Am I missing out on something?"

Lucas sighed, "Treasure, we talked about this before and I said I would explain everything to you when once we settle your grandmother's issue"

"Yes, you said that but I feel weird seeing this side of you. I took you to be an average person with little to your name but all I'm seeing now is making me scared", she yelled.

Lucas had never seen this side of her and he panicked.

"Okay", he didn't know where to start from and he didn't want to reveal his identity to her yet.

"Then?"

"My mom's family is rich and my grandfather you saw the last time gave most of his properties to me. He is the wealthiest man in Italy", he babbled away unsure of how to make up a flawless story.

"You should have said that before instead of keeping me in suspense", she sighed and Lucas released the breath he didn't know he was holding. His forehead was wet and Violet touched it.

"You are sweating? You should take a shower first", she pecked him on the cheeks before pushing him in the direction of the bathroom. She went into the kitchenette to make him a cup of coffee.

Lucas smiled and touched his cheeks while showering.

They passed away the entire journey time by talking about how they met and laughing hard.

Volts slept off after some time had passed and Lucas took her to their room.

The pilot announced that they will soon land. Nathan and Natalie had already woken up by then and they went to wake Violet up. Still feeling groggy, she told them to let her sleep some more.

"One more minute please?" She breathed softly.

"Walkie walkie, it's landing time", Natalie yelled and Violet woke up abruptly and the kids laughed. She glared at them and Nathan messed up her hair.

After tidying up and taking breakfast, they descended from the jet and the security men in the airport respectfully guided Lucas and the trio to where his line of cars was.

Violet looked around and her eyes almost popped out.

About six bodyguards stood by the three cars with their heads lowered. Lucas didn't think it would cause a problem having them around on this trip because already Violet had seen her and the explanation he gave to her would suffice for the moment.

"To mansion in Prithviraj Road".

" Yes, boss", the chauffeur touched some buttons in the car and the partition came up.

Violet and the kids had no more words to describe the current situation.

Shifting closer to him, she whispered. "You still want to tell me that all these were given to you by your grandfather? Is your grandfather that rich?"

Lucas chuckled and squeezed her hands softly.

"Let's talk about this later"

Violet fixed her stare at him and he seemed to feel an ounce of guilt. He avoided her eyes and she sighed.

She concentrated on talking to the kids while Lucas brought out his phone and communicated with someone at the hospital Violet's grandma was taken to.

"When we get to our destination, the kids will rest while we go to the hospital to see your grandma.

"Thank you so much, Lucas, how can I thank you enough", she hugged his arm and Lucas whispered.

"You can thank me better tonight. Just wear sexy lingerie and do your duty till I'm satisfied", he winked at her.

"Lucas", Violet yelled and he laughed.

Violet was in awe of the architecture of the mansion. she would rather call it a mansion than a house like Lucas said. Darn it, this guy can't be who he said he is.

After settling the kids with the maids which she didn't know how they came about, they went to Hauz Khas Village where her mom's family reside.

After asking for directions from people, they finally arrived at the apartment they were looking for. Lucas had driven a very low-profile car to avoid being in the spotlight, he had to protect his treasure.

Taking the stairs to search for the flat they were looking for, they met a young boy of about twelve and then asked for directions.

"Do you know where Aarna lives, the old woman who has a daughter named.....", she stuttered as she couldn't remember her aunty's name.

"Aunty Saanvi"

"Exactly", she smiled.

The boy looked at them again and hesitated, Lucas caught the signal and gave him a few notes of money.

The boy smiled and told them what they needed to know.

"That amount of money you gave was too much".

"We needed the information bane and the language just rolled out of your mouth. How long have you been learning it?", squeezed her shoulder softly.

Violet blushed, " For as long as I can remember"

"Can we be using that as our bedroom language?"

Violet gasped softly, "Don't tell me you understood what I was saying to the boy?"

"To the last babe", he raised his eyebrow arrogantly.

On getting closer to the door of the house, she heard arguments between her aunt and her cousins in their native language.

"Mom, that marriage Is not going to work. I would rather die than marry him", Diya yelled.

"You know that is the only way we can pay our debts and get rid of this whole situation. Your grandma is in the hospital and....."

"You called cousin Prisha, she should be on her way here or rather she should send some money, we need it. Her parents left her a huge inheritance", Navya the younger one said nonchalantly.

"Yes, she should share some of the properties with us. After all, we are cousins and besides, I think she should take up the responsibility of taking care of grandma's health", Diya pouted.

Lucas and Violet exchanged looks, there was no need for more explanation to know that she is the Prisha they were talking about.

Violet knocked on the door and they kept quiet.

"Who is there?"

"Maybe it's one Of the debtors", their mother said.

Violet knew that they may hide so she announced her identity.

The door flew open and her aunty came forward with tears in her eyes and enveloped her in a bear hug.

The cousins had no impression of Violet so they could only cast envious glances at her. They knew that everything on her are branded items and the combination sent them rolling in jealousy.

"You came faster than I thought, you are welcome. Your Grandma is in the hospital and her situation has been stabilized but she needs to be operated on without waste of time", she held her hands nervously.

Lucas stayed outside and they didn't know she came with some other person.

"Can we go now?"

"Uhmmm we have to board a taxi and its difficult to get one by this time of the day"

"No need for that, I came with one", she took them downstairs and they looked around for a rickshaw but found none.

"Where is the taxi?" Navya asked rudely.

Lucas had seen them from afar so he put on his shades and walked toward them.

"Treasure, is everything settled?"

"Yes, let's go", she entered the car and the cousins had eyes for Lucas only. They were practically drooling.

After boarding the vehicle, the cousins constantly threw questions at Lucas who ignored them and walked on his phone.

"Prisha, is he your boyfriend?", Navya asked

Violet sighed and shook her head lightly. " Yes, he is my boyfriend".

"Your boyfriend must be rich", Diya looked around the car decor. No matter how much Lucas wanted to go on the low profile he still rode one of the posh cars in Delhi.

On arriving at the hospital, Lucas met with the doctor and Violet's grandmother was transferred to the best suite which had everything.

"The operation is scheduled for the next two days and for now let's observe her condition".

"Okay, I leave everything in your care".

"You have nothing to worry about boss", Nobody knew that this is one of Lucas hospitals which is scattered across the whole world.

In the hospital suite, Violet held her grandma's hands and sobbed quietly. the old woman's arms had become frail. She has been sending back money to them to take care of the old woman's health. What had they been doing with the money?? What exactly is she not aware of?

The trio only looked around and explored the other parts of the suite.

"Prisha, the hospital bills.....", her aunt, Saanvi asked

"It has been taken care of. No need to worry about that".

"This suite is quite big and do you mind if we stay here to take care of your grandma?" Saanvi asked

"Why would she mind mom? After all, she will not stay here", Navya said rudely and glared at Violet.

Lucas came in just at the moment, he has had enough of these blood-sucking relatives.

"We have hired a caretaker for her and you can worry less about staying here".

"Okay... but we can still stay because we know better than whoever you may hire for my mother", Violet's aunt tried to salvage the situation.

Violet sighed and caught the glances the cousins were giving her so she signalled to Lucas to let the matter be.

Lucas gave in just because of the woman he love.
