The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess (The Royal Beast #1)

CHAPTER - 12

A bhyansh called his men asking them to bring Madan to his den at night, whom they captured in the afternoon...

After dinner... Abhyansh was about to leave Ranveer's chamber when his words halted his steps...

"Ishu... Sleep in my chamber, I'll get an extra bed arranged here, I might need you at night, you know, I am completely dependent on you", Ranveer said as he doesn't want his sister to sleep on that hard cot if she sleeps in her chamber or on the floor if she sleeps in her husband's chamber...

"She will sleep with her husband, Rajput", Abhyansh declared walking away before Isha could say a thing... Abhyansh knew what Ranveer is trying to do, but he wouldn't let him succeed. Isha Abhyansh Singh Ranawat is born to suffer and he would make sure she does... Thought Abhyansh...

"Arrogant Beast... ", Ranveer muttered angrily

"Bhai... don't worry, I won't go into a deep sleep, you can call me on my phone whenever you need me, okay??", Isha said

"No, no, you sleep properly, the whole day you were working, you need proper rest, I don't need anything", Ranveer said

"But just now you said you will need me... ", she asked innocently... And Ranveer mentally sighed at his sister's innocence and kindness...

"No Ishu, I won't need anything bacha, you sleep properly please", Ranveer said and Isha nodded, she had her dinner and after giving her brother the medicines, she walked away asking the Junior doctor to be alert, since she is taking care of Ranveer the whole day, she requested the doctor and nurse to be alert during night time and they are more than happy to do that as they don't have to encounter the BEAST during the night if only they knew what they are going to see tonight...

Isha entered the guest chamber, and she saw her husband working... She quickly made her bed on the floor and walked to Abhyansh to ask him if he needs anything...

"Maharaj, do you need anything??", she asked lowering her head...

"Yes, come here", he said in his usual cold tone, and she is surprised, he never calls her to him... She is afraid but walked to him nonetheless... "Sit here", he said showing the seat beside him with his hand and her eyes widened...

He is asking her to sit beside him for the first time, what has happened to him?? thought she, she sat, shivering from fear...

He held her neck and pulled her closer to his face, she closed her eyes in fear and tears slipped from her eyes remembering how he called her sl*t...

He kept roaming his hands on her exposed shoulders touching her gently with his rough hands, she didn't feel disgusted like she felt when Madan touched her, but there is fear now, she wanted to jerk his hands but is afraid of the BEAST so she stayed silent, he went closer to her face, and for a second he wanted to keep staring at her innocent face, but the very next second warning bells started ringing and he jerked her away...

"From now on, you won't feel that b**t**d's hands", Abhyansh said, Isha's eyes got wide like saucers, but she didn't dare to look at her husband's face...

"H... How did you know Maharaj??", she asked but he didn't answer her...

She assumed he captured Madan after the morning incident and might have known from there...

"Will you kill him??", Isha asked again looking down...

"No", Abhyansh said, and Isha sighed as no one will lose their life because of her but if only she knew, Madan or anyone else for that matter would always prefer death than encounter Beast's BEASTY form...

"Maharaj, please don't tell my brother, he will be worried and angry", she said and for a second Abhyansh is surprised at her innocence, did she really think her brother doesn't know about this?? While he is the one who told him about it...

"Go to sleep", Abhyansh ordered, and Isha immediately scurried away...

She lay on the floor, and thought about what he said, he is right, she didn't feel Madan's dirty hands on her anymore, but that didn't make her relieved as now she felt her husband's hands, which didn't calm her, the fact that there is no care or belongingness in that touch made her hate it. Tears slipped from her eyes at her fate before drifting into a deep sleep...

Abhyansh finished his work and got up to walk to Ranveer's chamber, take him and go to his den... But before that, he walked to his wife who is sleeping peacefully...

"You are mine to torture, mine to hate, mine to give pain, mine to make you fear, and mine to touch, and mine to destroy, every tear that slips your eye should have only my name, you will be my queen to the world but in reality, you are my slave, my most hated slave", he said before walking away...

He entered Ranveer's chamber, and the doctor and nurse who relaxedly sat there talking to each other stood there in shock and cursing their fate...

"Put him in the wheelchair and move", the beast ordered making them shiver, hearing his dangerous tone, they thought Abhyansh is going to kill Ranveer...

"M... M... Maharaj??", the doctor dared to ask and that's it, Abhyansh gave a furious glare to him, though the doctor didn't look at Abhyansh's face, he could feel the heat of his glare...

"Leave the poor soul Mr. Ranawat...", Ranveer said opening his eyes and smirking at his brother-in-law's effect on people...

"I am furious Rajput, don't play with me now, I might take two instead of one", Abhyansh said, Ranveer understood what he meant so he decided to be calm from now on as irritating his brother-in-law now could cost him his life...

"Doctor... Help me", Ranveer said, and the doctor and nurse helped him to the wheelchair...

"Move", Abhyansh ordered

"Why them?? One of your men will help me", Ranveer said softly as what they are going to do to Madan would scare the doctor and nurse, but Abhyansh's words surprised him...

"He didn't obey my orders, let him see it", Abhyansh ordered, 'he wouldn't leave a single soul if that disobeys him' thought Ranveer and signed the doctor to follow the beast, Ranveer asked the nurse to stay in the palace and the king didn't object as she didn't question him back as the doctor did...

Ranveer felt pity for the doctor... They got into Abhyansh's SUV, and the driver drove off.

They reached Abhyansh's den and even looking at the place scared the doctor a lot... Abhyansh walked inside... Doctor's moments halted looking at the place...

"Your highness, pl... Please let's not go inside, I am scared", the Junior doctor pleaded to Ranveer...

"We have to, and you have to stay there as the king ordered", Ranveer said with sympathy...

Both of them walked inside, but the men outside stopped them as no one is allowed inside... Even Avyan is allowed only a few times when Abhyansh wanted him there...

"I am Mr. Ranawat's brother-in-law, he wanted us inside", Ranveer said in his commanding tone, the man bowed down and allowed them as he knew they weren't lying, no one has the audacity to lie using the beast's name...

******from this part, there will be a lot of violence, you can skip this part if you are sensitive to it********

They entered inside, the place looked bad to Ranveer even though he is not scared, but can't say the same for the young doctor...

"Ma... Maharaj... Please forgive me, please... I would ask forgiveness from Princess Isha too... ", Madan trailed, Ranveer is surprised, he never saw Madan so scared, even when someone was about to kill him in the past, he was brave and fought with them, but now he knew the beast just won't kill him, he would give him the hell which would be 100 times painful than death... And looking at the beastly form of Abhyansh is enough to scare any soul on earth...

"Queen Isha Abhyansh Singh Ranawat", Abhyansh said nearing Madan's face who is tied head down, he was hanging like a fruit, Abhyansh took out his gun, and the doctor cupped his face to stop the noise that was about to escape his throat and widened his eyes in shock, his whole body sweating, Ranveer has already cautioned him not to make noise inside as Abhyansh wouldn't like it... And he wouldn't dare to ignore the caution now...

Abhyansh shot the rope which is holding Madan's legs, and he fell on the floor from a height, head down, Madan groaned in pain, but as he wasn't at much height from the floor, he wasn't hurt much...

Abhyansh held Madan's neck and forced him to look into his eye, but Madan knew better, he knew if he sees in the beast's eye, he wouldn't see anything more... And that would be the scariest and the last day of his life...

Abhyansh stepped on his right hand, then on his left hand remembering how those hands dared to touch his wife... He remembered every detail Ranveer told him and decided to make him pay for every touch he gave his wife and disgusted her with his dirty hands... Ranveer wanted to beat him to a pulp for touching his sister, but his body condition didn't let him at that moment...

Madan screamed in pain as Abhyansh's shoes has nails all over and now, they are pierced on the back of his palms oozing blood... The junior doctor cupped his face getting scared with every passing second...

"What did you think?? You are safe now since you got Ranveer Rajput bedridden??", Abhyansh asked, shocking both Ranveer and Madan...

"He caused my accident??", Ranveer asked

Abhyansh punched Madan's face breaking his teeth urging him to answer... And Madan confessed, cursed himself for even thinking that no one would know about it, he definitely forgot the beast, and now he is determined to remind him... Madan was the one to hit Ranveer's car that night, as he didn't want to go into a hideout leaving his peaceful life...

Abhyansh kicked his guts, threw punches everywhere, played as if he is his punching bag and finally after half an hour, he went and sat on his royal chair, Madan sighed in relief when the torture stopped but the BEAST's next words almost ceased his breath...

"Pull out his fingernails one by one, separate each finger from his palms, piece by piece, no hurry, we have all night, cut the finger into as many pieces as you are pleased, I want to hear his screams, the louder his screams, the more I will be satisfied", Abhyansh said in his deadly tone, the determination in his tone saying he wanted his every word to be followed as it is...

This made even Ranveer uncomfortable, how beastly can he get?? Now, He is afraid of his sister who is living with this animal, as his wife...

Abhyansh's men started implementing the king's orders... With the pulling of the first nail itself, the doctor felt like throwing up... Above that, Madan's screams are getting louder every passing second, after pulling all his nails, the blood oozed out of his body, the doctor couldn't stop the bile in his throat, he ran out and did the deed, Ranveer felt bad for him, and messaged him to stay outside which relieved the doctor...

The men started implementing Abhyansh's further orders, the beast kept looking at Madan who is screaming, moaning, and crying in pain but there is no mercy on Abhyansh's face. What Ranveer didn't know is this was the first time for Abhyansh as well to torture someone this far, nails pulling was still common, separating body parts when the person is alive was common too but pulling the fingers bit by bit, cutting each finger into pieces is very new for Abhyansh's men as their king ordered them such thing for the first time...

But for Abhyansh, it didn't feel odd though it was his first-time torturing someone to this extent, why would it?? According to him, Madan deserved a lot more than that for touching his wife, no one has the right to even think about touching her, he would make them pay with every tiny drop of blood in their body if they did... His crazy feelings for his wife surprised him as well, but he ignored that for now naming it as hatred, but his rational brain knew even his hatred for her doesn't justify what he is feeling for her, he knew she doesn't deserve the intensity of hatred he is showing her, though she is Amar Rajput's daughter, as he suffered a lot more because of other people than Amar Rajput whom he didn't torture so much as he did to Isha...

Abhyansh's men are done with dismantling all the fingers from Madan's palms, even Ranveer closed his eyes at a point, but when he thought how he touched his sister, he opened his eyes and kept looking at Madan's suffering...

Madan kept crying, screaming in pain, he felt as if his life is leaving his body bit by bit... He kept begging the beast to show mercy, but he is nowhere near to doing it...

"Now... Do the same to his legs", Abhyansh ordered, and his men continued...

"Now cut his arms and parcel all of his cut body parts to his boss (Kailash), he should know what's gonna hit him soon", Abhyansh said

Ranveer for a second, got pained thinking his father would receive the same fate, but this time he is not going to negotiate with Abhyansh to get him mercy... His father didn't deserve it...

Madan slowly feel unconscious, and they knew he wouldn't survive for long...

"If he died before morning, courier his body as well", Abhyansh said getting up...

******************

Ranveer asked one of Abhyansh's men to wheel him out and they did, the doctor took it from there, all the way the junior doctor kept shivering and Ranveer felt bad for the poor man... As soon as they reached his chamber, he asked the doctor to go and take a rest, he nodded and ran away...

"Wasn't it a bit too much??", Ranveer asked when Abhyansh is about walk away...

"It would be too much for your sister's culprit maybe, but it's never too much for my wife's, he deserved a lot more for touching my wife", Abhyansh said

"You should have at least given him death, he was begging for it", Ranveer said again...

"That's the whole point Rajput, and.... when your sister asked if I would kill him, I said 'No', so I couldn't", Abhyansh smirked and walked away...

Ranveer shook his head at his sister's innocence and his brother-in-law's equally cunning actions...

He slowly fell asleep in the early hours... And the next morning, Isha came to her brother's chamber, she thought to wake him up after breakfast is ready, and when she did, her brother woke up with sleepy eyes...

"I told you to sleep early... Why didn't you??", Isha asked, and the doctor's face paled even more...

"I couldn't sleep, the plasters are uncomfortable", Ranveer said

"Okay, have breakfast and then you can sleep again", she said softly and looked at the doctor whose face is looking pale...

"Are you fine doctor?? You don't look good", Isha asked with concern, and her concern got the doctor fear more, if her husband could torture a man for just touching his wife like that, he might also torture him if the beast knows she showed concern for him...

"N... No, your highness... I am okay", he said, and she nodded...

She asked the nurse to help her brother freshen up while she arranged the breakfast, but Ranveer kept throwing tantrums, so she had to help him herself, and till she returned, it was time for her husband's breakfast, she quickly ran to call him for breakfast and served him, after that she fed Ranveer and then ate herself...

Isha went to her chamber to continue with her work whereas Abhyansh sat in Ranveer's chamber and started with his work...

Seeing the beast settle there, the doctor's situation worsened, so Ranveer sent him and the nurse out...

Suddenly Abhyansh smirked after hanging up a phone call...

"What happened??", Ranveer asked

"He didn't die yet, the man has a strong life", Abhyansh said...

"You mean he is still suffering in the same state you left him yesterday", Ranveer asked, his eyes widened... Abhyansh's smirk widened confirming Ranveer's thoughts...

"Look that's really bad, you punished him for what he did to Isha, end it now, it's going really far now, please kill him already, he might be in a hell lot of pain right now", Ranveer said

"I won't kill him, let him suffer, he deserves it", Abhyansh said resuming his work

"Why are you doing this?? He did that before Isha became your wife, that shouldn't matter to you right??", Ranveer asked but he received no response and he sighed...

At night, they received the news regarding Madan's death and Ranveer sighed in relief, before his parts were sent to Kailash, now even his body was parcelled to him... Ranveer knew his father very well, he wouldn't sit calmly after this... He loves Madan more than him (Ranveer), he would definitely try to avenge his death...

Weeks passed and Ranveer is gradually recovering, Isha took care of her brother well, and an advantage of being Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's wife and not a slave is there are no punishments these days... She too made sure that she does all his work on time, but one day, she got late for dinner... Since the physiotherapist visited to help Ranveer with his exercise, she kept helping Ranveer with his exercises and got late in preparing dinner... It's just 5 minutes late but she is afraid of her husband's reaction...

Abhyansh didn't say a word, and she thought he didn't notice, but she is so wrong... That night she finished all the chores and walked to her room where her husband is waiting standing near the window...

She thought to go and change and calmly sleep on the floor, but his words halted her steps...

"You want to say something??", he asked in his tone which sent shivers to her... She understood he noticed her delay and is talking about the same...

"Maharaj, I'm so sorry... This won't happen again", she said looking down...

"It won't happen again, I'll make sure of it...", he said turning to face her, he held a watch in his hand... "You will not remove it the whole day, every day", he said nearing her...

"No Maharaj, I don't need it, if you want me to wear a watch, I'll buy one myself", She fumbled looking down... as she doesn't want to take anything from him, but she is too innocent to think the beast is giving her just a watch...

He pulled her hand and forcefully made her wear the watch and she screamed in pain, the watch was heated to high temperature, and when the hot metal made contact with her soft skin, it burnt her badly, making a scar of the watch on her wrist... She jumped in pain, wanting to remove the watch, but he held her hand holding the watch in it's place... He left her hand after some time, the hot metal stuck to her skin, and the pain it gave her is immeasurable...Its as if he is possessed and had no control on his emotions.

She cried dropping to her knees...

"This is just the beginning, if you get late another time, you will see the worst", He said before walking away...

Isha kept sobbing on the floor cupping her mouth and fell asleep in the same place... The next morning, she tended to her wound, before starting with her chores, she wore a full sleeves dress to hide her wound as that will distress her brother more if he gets to know...

She called her husband for breakfast, and he smirked at her, seeing she is on time... Ranveer who saw this didn't feel right, above that, his sister's behaviour is off from morning... She is giving him smiles once in a while, but all are fake... He knew she wouldn't tell him anything if he asked, so decided to find it all by himself...

Abhyansh and Ranveer started their breakfast, she is serving both of them, Ranveer is much better compared to his earlier state, he can walk with the help of his crutches now, and his left arm is almost fine... So, he has his food along with Abhyansh so that Isha wouldn't stress herself twice...

"Isha... someone came to meet you", the servant came and informed...

"Who??", Isha asked still standing beside her husband, as he is still having his breakfast, and she wouldn't dare to move away...

"Don't know Isha, they looked like royals too...", the servant said...

"Didn't you ask about their whereabouts?? You allowed them just like that??", Ranveer asked getting angry... These days he is worried for his sister, his father could attack his sister to avenge Madan's death, as she is a soft target.

"I'm sorry, your highness... They came with the king's men, so I thought....", The lady trailed...

"Oh! it must be ma...", Isha said with a smile... "She was saying she would come to meet me as she was missing me", Isha said excitedly to her brother who gave her a smile in return... inwardly worrying about his sister, how would she handle herself as he is planning to take her away from Abhyansh sooner, she would miss her mother-in-law, she got attached to her a lot...

After Abhyansh is done with his breakfast, she ran to the main hall and saw Amruta and Avyan, she got so happy... She didn't expect her brother-in-law...

Isha ran to her mother-in-law engulfing her in a tight hug...

"Ma, I missed you so much...", Isha said without breaking the hug...

"I never thought I would get to hear this from my Isha, It's always the other way around huh??", Amruta teased her...

"Ma... I just tease you, you too know I miss you a lot, and why did you take so long to visit your daughter??", Isha asked, and Amruta looked behind Isha and looked down, Isha understood what her mother-in-law wanted to say... Oh! the king didn't give his mother permission to meet her(Isha), then why did he allow them so suddenly?? Is this compensation for burning her hand the previous night?? She thought to herself sarcastically, as she knew her pain would give him satisfaction, so why would he do something to compensate it, Isha shook her head mentally not to think about that now...

"Avyan, how are you??", Isha asked with a smile...

"I'm fine... how are you??", Avyan asked her with a small smile... He missed his sister-in-law's smile and her talking a lot...

"I'm fine too, please stay for lunch", Isha requested politely...

"Um...", Avyan and Amruta looked at Abhyansh's side for permission, they wanted to stay, they missed Isha's food a lot but didn't want to anger the beast...

"Hmm...", Abhyansh said and walked away...

Amruta smiled widely hugging Isha...

Isha decided to make lunch in the main kitchen and serve them in the dining hall as it won't be good to serve them in Ranveer's chamber...

Ranveer slowly walked towards Amruta and Avyan and greeted them before settling on the main hall couch, to give them company. Isha gave them some snacks before starting with her lunch preparations.

After lunch, Amruta and Avyan left asking Isha to come soon...

Days passed and Ranveer would be completely fine after getting the final plasters removed after a week... After he gets completely fine, he decided to talk to Abhyansh and ask him what he would take to free his sister... But, before that, he got to know something, which changed all his plans...
