Chapter 54
Grandma sighed and shook her head.
10 minutes later, a scream came from the bathroom. Many rushed there and saw an unrecognizable Aanya, bleeding from in between her legs. She had even fainted
“Aanya, my wife! Who did this? Who did this to her? Aanya!” her husband rushed in and placed her head on his laps.
“Someone call the ambulance!” Cynthia, the daughter cried. “Mom, wake up!”
And so, a happy ceremony ended in pandemonium. A bad thing has occured right under their noses. The ambulance soon came to take Aanya away.
But who was the culprit?
The police also arrived and sealed the public bathroom to do investigation. They asked all guests to remain.
Grandma Binita called Aarti who immediately picked up.
“Aarti, Aanya was nearly murdered. Her unborn child is dead.
“What? Mrs. Aanya? How… How could that happen? Is she alright?” Aarti asked from the other end in ‘distress’.
“She’s being taken to the hospital.” Grandma replied.
“Oh my gosh! I’m coming over right now. Thankfully, I have gone too far. Are you still at the venue?”
“Yeah. Hurry and come quick!”
3 minutes later, Aarti rushed into the bungalow looking worried.
She saw a sad grandma.
“Aarti, let’s go to the hospital.” she said softly and took her granddaughter’s hand.
Both of them had been searched before they could leave and head for the hospital.
“My only regret is that I made grandma worried and sad for that bitch.” Aarti thought.
Caramel health Clinic, M city.
Aanya was placed in the private recovery ward after the baby was successfully removed. Her husband and daughter, Cynthia, cried bitterly.
“Who could be so cruel to do this? What has my wife done to deserve this? She has no enemy! Why, why me?” her husband, Reyansh wailed.
“Pull yourself together and be strong. Aanya will be fine. Cynthia, come let me hug you, my dear.” Grandma Binita offered.
Cynthia came over to grandma and sat beside her. Grandma then pulled her into a hug.
“Your mum will be fine, okay?” she consoled with soft voice.
Aarti who stood not far from them was getting bored to death. She made an excuse of going to the bathroom and left to the ladies restroom.
She took a phone call there. It was her boss!
“Hello, boss Nelson!” she said in a humble tone. Yeah, I hear you clearly sir. I’m in the hospital with my grandma. It’s her friend who was almost murdered. I’ll be coming over now, sir!” she said and the call ended.
Aarti sighed and shook her head.
She then called her grandma.
“Ma, I won’t be returning early. My boss asked for me. Return home early and recall to take milk and your medicine, alright?” she said and ended the call.
She put the phone in her purse and left the bathroom.

10 minutes later, Aarti comes out of a shop wearing a black tight suit with silver waist chains that further accentuated her shape and long legs. She wore a black veil that covered one part of her face and 8-inch high heels.
She took a taxi and left for her destination.
Some hours later, she arrived at a place in a village with a sign ‘Don’t trespass. Danger ahead!’.
She scoffed and entered the place which was a cave, holding a big torchlight. She switched it on to see the environ in the cave and finally found a trap door. She then opened it and jumped down.
She landed in an underground basement filled with men and women who wore tight suits like her.
Aarti took off her veil and bowed to the others.
“Comrades, pardon my lateness. I’ll punish myself with a glass of wine.” she said and took a glass from the table close to her and poured wine in it
She raised it up to show them before drinking it.
This wine was very bitter, man!
She then took her spot amongst the standing fellows.
Soon, a figure came through another door wearing a green t-shirt, white trousers and white converse.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It was Nelson Woodley.
Alright, the mystery about our Aarti is solved. She is one of his elite bodyguards whom he personally trained. She first made an appearance in his office, helping to humiliate and cast out gold-digger Sonia.
What are they all gathered here for? Training of course! He trains them every 3 months.
He handed them papers for their training which starts immediately. He’d evaluate them in two days and kick out the one slacking. Everyone felt intense pressure and swore not to slack off.
Satisfied, he asked them to leave but asked Aarti to remain.
The others left the basement using different trap doors leaving only Aarti and Nelson.
“Boss, what mission do you have for me?” she asked humbly.
“Stay with me in my other form.” he said.
“Sir, forgive me on being ignorant. What other form, sir?” she asked in puzzlement.
“You have seen me spit out blood many times and bend over in pain. I ask you to leave each time that it’s an old illness. Actually this illness or rather this curse is something I never wished for but it simply can’t be revealed to others.”
He looked at the half moon outside and smiled bitterly.
“It’s time!” he said with a sigh and left with super speed then returned in less than a minute now in a white bathrobe.
Aarti was confused and shocked. What did her boss mean by this? Why the bathrobe? Plus was he even human with that speed?
“Well, it’s easier to shift if I wear a bathrobe. I can just take it off if I feel that he’s ready to come out.” Nelson said and went into a crawling position on the floor.
While Aarti was still trying to process his actions, she heard the cracking of bones.
She looked at her boss and saw his back was in a strange shape. The spinal cord was cracking. Nelson did not scream at all. Instead, he stared at her with red and blue eyes.
She was shocked but didn’t move away. She watched him grit his teeth as his bones cracked. He suddenly brought his hands to his crotch. He couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed. His hands and legs cracked and elongated.
“Sir…” Aarti covered her mouth.
