I couldn't comprehend what was happening, and it was all so sudden. Just yesterday, I was in Aarav and Aarush's arms with my family, and now I find myself here in the basement of our mansion. Everything changed so quickly, and now the danger is so close, our enemies are so near.
I shouldn't be scared; I have complete faith in Aarav that he won't let anything happen to us, but I don't know how to calm my heart. Darsh, Aarav's personal bodyguard, is here with us, taking care of us along with a few other bodyguards.
To be honest, I didn't even know there was a basement here, even after living here for a year. And there's a control room before the basement. As soon as we enter the parking lot of this mansion, there's a secret door with metal stairs leading down, like an underground passage, which takes us to another door leading to the control room. Then, from the control room, another door leads to the basement where we are now.
By "we," I mean Aarush, Rani Kaki, and the rest of the servants and house helpers were not there Aarav had already been given a holiday. We couldn't hear anything from upstairs, but my heart was filled with anxiety. Rani Kaki kept patting my hand, trying to comfort me, even though fear was evident in her eyes.
The basement was dimly lit, the air thick with tension. Aarush was sleeping peacefully in my arms, oblivious to the chaos around him. I held him tighter, feeling a fierce protectiveness wash over me.
