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

CHAPTER – 28

A bhyansh and Isha celebrated their anniversary as planned, visiting the temple in the morning followed by breakfast as usual, but with lunch with the family, Avyan didn't come home till the morning of the anniversary and Isha got so sad that her plan of having lunch with the family without Avyan is incomplete, and Abhyansh couldn't see his wife unhappy, he called Avyan to come home for lunch leaving the work and he came. Isha got so happy when Avyan personally wished her, BEAST though got jealous, he couldn't neglect the broad smile on his wife's face and for that smile, he could tolerate his brother for a while...

Avyan knew why he is suddenly loaded with work, he knew his brother is punishing him for enjoying his misery, he so badly wanted to complain to his Bhabhi sa but couldn't dare to do so, as that would push him into danger again...

After the family lunch, Isha took some rest while Abhyansh went out for some work, in the evening, he took her to dinner in one of his hotels as he wanted to take his wife to the best diner and his was the best... he wanted to give her the best first-time experience in a restaurant and he is glad that he did, she enjoyed the food and ambiance, and he made sure the place is quiet, and cozy and made her feel comfortable...

All the staff and people present there were shocked to see a lady with the BEAST as he never visited any of his hotel chains with a lady, he came for visits or for any deals, but never for having a pleasant dinner... looking at Isha, everyone understood that she is his wife, Abhyansh made sure that no other outsider or customer is present in the restaurant as he didn't want to risk Isha's safety, if his rivals knew about him spending quality time with his wife, they would certainly get the importance of his wife in his life. He made sure that his visit was kept low...

They came back from dinner, he asked his wife not to decorate the room, he didn't reason and thankfully she didn't ask him. He didn't want to scare her by explaining about intimacy right away, he wanted to take it slow and make her completely comfortable with him. He wanted to kiss her many times after their first kiss but she never let him, he is growing impatient with every second, after tasting her once, he got addicted and couldn't stop himself but every time he tried, she turned her head or ran away from there, at first he thought she is shy but later he realized she still needs time to accept him.

Isha changed into a white cotton saree with black border on it, pairing it with black blowse and came out, he got changed into his tracks and walked out of the closet when he saw her arranging the blanket on the floor... he decided to talk to her about their sleeping arrangement... even though she started talking to him and behaving normally,they continued sleeping on the floor... he felt an invisible line and hesitation in her behaviour, he thought she still needs some time to accept him as her husband and decided to give her the time.

"I need to talk to you, come here...", he said taking her to the couch, she sat with a confused face... "I have two things, firstly, you don't have to get uncomfortable with me, wear your pyjamas at night, sleeping in saree is a bit uncomfortable for you, I can see it", he said

"I'm fine Rana sa... I'm comfortable in sarees anyway...", Isha said looking down, though they started conversing with each other casually, it still made her awkward and strange talking with her husband, it feels very weird when he talks to her like a normal person...

"Look at me", he said and she raised her head to look at his face... "I know you are comfortable in sarees, but you are more comfortable with your pyjamas, so wear them, though you look ravishing in sarees, your comfort is my priority, so wear your pyjamas to sleep from tomorrow", he said looking at her intently, which made her blush...

"Okay, what's the other thing", she asked softly...

"Let's sleep on the bed, I don't want you to suffer", he said and she looked at him, gone was her blush, and shyness, he saw something different in her eyes but couldn't depict what it is, but he knew it's definitely not a good feeling...

"Maharaj... I don't want to sleep on the bed", she said softly and he fumed in anger...

"Why are you hell-bent on suffering yourself??", He asked her hardly controlling his temper...

"I...I couldn't sleep on the bed", she repeated...

"But why?? Forget it Isha... today is our anniversary, let's start things afresh, I'm sorry I treated you that way, don't hurt yourself more, let's end this here hm??", He said softly but his words for some reason anguished her...

"I can't forget Maharaj... I still remember how you threw me on the floor like I was a piece of dirt, I remember the bed burning in flames here in the very same place, and how I cleaned the ash the next morning along with my broken self... I wanted to forget, really I do, but I couldn't, I couldn't forget how you thrashed my burning self on the floor, I would have died that night if I didn't take the medicine or if I hadn't slept on the bed, I can't help but remember those horrible nights looking at it... I... I can't sleep on the bed Rana sa, not willingly at least, please understand", her tone became vulnerable at the end, his face paled hearing her, and anger ran through his veins for himself... the fact that there was a time when he behaved like an animal with his wife brought an inexplainable amount of fury to him but he didn't understand how to correct his wrongdoings...

She wanted to ask him the reason for his behaviour but she couldn't dare to, she didn't know how he would react. She never wanted to bring their past into the discussion but she couldn't forget it either... she wanted to forget and forgive him, wanted to start afresh with him but she didn't know how to do that, to either forget or forgive, it's important for her to know the reason behind her husband's behaviour, she believed he had a strong reason for his behaviour and the truth would justify his actions, maybe she unknowingly caused so much pain or loss to him, thought she, though she couldn't understand what?? She decided to ask her husband the reason for his behaviour, one day for sure...

She avoided whenever he tried to kiss her after their first kiss as she was constantly reminded of his words saying he wouldn't go for sl*ts like her... his crude words are not justifiable in any way as she is not like that, she didn't deserve to be called a sl*t and he broke her heart that night, she was still okay when he made her his slave but the moment he called her with that word, she broke, she wanted to know the reason for his behaviour, until then she couldn't wholeheartedly give a chance to her marriage, though she now knew she would never want to get out of the marriage, she couldn't live it fully too.

"Go and sleep", he said softly, she nodded and lay on the floor, the thought of him hurting himself crossed her mind and she got worried...

"Rana sa... you too, come and sleep", she said sitting in her place

"Hm... I'll just come", he said getting up and walking towards the door, he needs to get his frustration out before it comes out in any other way that could possibly hurt his wife...

"Don't hurt yourself, please", she requested, he turned to her in surprise, how did she know he is going to do exactly that... he saw her teary eyes and all his fury evaporated and concern took its place... he sat beside her on the floor...

"Stop worrying... I won't hurt myself", he said gently cupping her face...

"Then don't go...", Isha said holding his large palms on her face...

"Try to understand Isha, I need to get this anger out... I am afraid I will hurt you again...", he said, and she shook her head...

"Please... no, don't go, you won't hurt me...", she said

"How are you so sure??", He asked her, yes he wouldn't hurt her now, not physically at least, he loved her too much to do that but he wanted to hear from her about what made her believe that??

"The extreme anger you are experiencing now is because of the pain of hurting me in the past... you won't hurt me again Rana sa... I know, I just know", she said taking his palms off her face and holding them in between her palms calming him...

"I hurt you too much, didn't I??", Abhyansh asked, suddenly she heard slight vulnerability in his tone before he masked it with his cold tone...

"I didn't want to say all that, I'm sorry, I don't want to remember all that, it's just...", she started, she felt guilty to even raise that topic, she never wanted to hurt him, or make him feel guilty, that's not her, though rightfully she should have...

"Too hard to forget, I understand, okay it's late, sleep", he said making her lie down on her pillow... "and Rani sa... don't apologize, you were never at fault, it's all me...", he added, he wanted to go out but she didn't leave his hand, his lips twitched upwards a little, his wife cares for him too much, more than he ever deserved... he lay beside her pulling her into his arms, she blushed looking down, avoiding staring into his mesmerizing eyes, he kissed her forehead...

"Sleep now...", he said and she closed her eyes and soon dozed off... he carried her to the bed and made her sleep on it gently, stared at her face for a few minutes before leaving to the back palace... he started taking out his anger on the punching bag as he didn't feel like getting in contact with any human or even Sharah or Veera...

His every punch got stronger than the previous one, with all the incidents where he had hurt his wife, and scarred her for life kept revolving in his head... he remembered how he pushed her on the broken glass pieces, how he burned her skin with a hot burning watch, made her hold hot vessels, cook with her injured palms, threw her out of bed, insulted her with words, threw the bundle of cash on her face, or called her that word. His deeds never let him in peace, he remembered the pain he gave his wife at least once in a day, and the regret he had is getting hard to handle, it too grew along with the love he had for his wife, the only thing that kept him sane or prevented him from harming himself is her serene and smiling face, her company, her happiness. But, when he heard the pain in her words, he couldn't stop himself...

He kept throwing heavy punches, getting heavier and stronger with each one, and at last, even it gave up, unable to handle the pressure of his fury... he took heavy breaths, sat on the floor looking at the busted punching bag, his actions revolving in his head...

"Only if I know how to reverse my actions...", he said to himself... " Isha ...", he sighed closing his eyes...

He walked back to their room, took a shower, and did first-aid to his injured knuckles before laying down on the bed beside his wife, who leaned to his warmth in sleep, he looked at her tenderly, caressed her hair before kissing her forehead, kept staring at her, and took his power nap which became peaceful in her arms, before waking up in an hour, realizing it's time for his wife to wake up, he placed her gently on the floor and laid beside her, and her alarm went off in the next 5 minutes waking her up...

Isha woke up, and shut off the alarm before that could disturb her husband, she sighed seeing him still sleeping... she took off the blanket and the duvet and looked at his bandaged knuckles, she got teary-eyed and angry at the same time...

"I pleaded with you not to go, yet you went, and injured yourself, okay if you don't care about my words then why should I even tell you anything, do whatever you want to", she said to his sleeping form, got up, wiped her tears, and went to do her morning chores...

Abhyansh opened his eyes as soon as he heard the bathroom door shut and sighed deeply cursing his anger... now she is upset with him and he couldn't tolerate that...

He got up, folded the blankets, and put them in their place when Isha came out after freshening up... she is surprised to see the blankets, pillows, and duvets they used, neatly lying folded in their places... she had to try harder to stop the smile that threatened to form, so her husband knew that she is angry, so was trying to impress her huh?? Or else why would the BEAST do things like folding blankets or setting things up?? she wondered...

"What's my punishment?? For disobeying you?? Just don't stop talking to me, rest all I can manage", he said and that single sentence in his soft tone made her anger vanish into thin air...

"Why do you hurt yourself", she said taking his knuckles into her hands and examining them again, his bandages are covering the depth of his injuries, well that's exactly why he did first-aid to his injuries immediately, as he doesn't want his wife to see his deep and heavily wounded knuckles... he still remembers how she cried looking at the sword wounds on his body, he didn't want a repeat of it...

"It doesn't hurt much, I just did light boxing for an hour or so, that's all", he said, 'yeah so light that even the punching bag busted out', his brain mocked him which he quickly shut off...

"What's the need to do it in the first place Rana sa??", She said caressing his knuckles...

"I need to blow off the fury Rani sa... it was very much needed, otherwise I wouldn't have gone ignoring your request... my injuries don't pain me as much as your tears do, stop worrying, I'm completely alright", he said wiping a few tears that escaped her eyes... if this is how she reacts to seeing the bandaged knuckles, how would she react if she sees the actual injuries behind the bandage, he thought... no way in the hell is he going to let her see them, he decided.

"They are not deep right??", She asked him...

"No, they are not", he answered, well he wasn't lying, for him, they weren't deep, he experienced worst, this is nothing in front of them...

"Okay... I'll make something light for breakfast and also that you could eat with a spoon", she said leaving the room... 'or you could feed me', he wanted to add but didn't...

During breakfast, when she didn't see Avyan she frowned... she is serving her husband while contemplating whether to ask or not... her husband didn't like to talk at the dining table much but he didn't say much whenever her brother talked, so she decided to ask, if he could excuse her brother, he could definitely excuse her...

"Ma... where is Avyan, why didn't he come for breakfast??", Isha asked her mother-in-law...

Seeing Abhyansh not reprimanding Isha for talking during breakfast, Amruta decided to respond... BEAST got irritated with his wife's concern for his brother...

"He left after lunch yesterday, and he didn't return home till now, he said he couldn't come home for the next week", Amruta said

"What?? But why?? His office is near to here right?? Why can't he commute?? Why is he neglecting his health like that??", Isha worried irking her husband...

"Sit down and have your breakfast, WITHOUT talking", he said in his usual cold tone, stressing on 'Without' making his wife frown cutely... now, what did she do?? Why is he irritated now?? She thought but didn't say anything, following his orders, she sat in the chair beside his and started having her breakfast for the first time since their marriage, they are eating together in the Ranawat palace, previous night's dinner was the first time they ate a meal together... Pratap didn't like Isha sitting along with his son who is the king, as no queen shared a meal with the king till now, they always had after the king but he knew better than to voice out his thoughts...

Abhyansh asked her to sit along with him for their Anniversary lunch but she denied it saying she would serve the family herself that day, Amruta too helped her daughter-in-law... Abhyansh's blood boiled whenever he saw Sheela Rajput passing hateful glares to his wife, he so wanted to rip her into pieces but he controlled himself for his wife, he had things planned for her as well. Isha, on knowing her husband's anger, made sure to keep her aunt away from her husband throughout the time she is present, also Ranveer warned his mother to behave very carefully in front of Abhyansh as he wouldn't take a minute to shoot her in the head if she went overboard or even thought of troubling Isha, so her aunt kept her distance from the BEAST and also was at her best behaviour, and for her uncle, her brother told that he couldn't attend due to his bad health, and Isha didn't bother much, she wanted to invite them as he is her father's brother and the only family she is left with apart from her brother, but she didn't feel anything with his absence like she felt when she got to know that Avyan couldn't make it. But then seeing her sad, BEAST made sure his brother attended the lunch and Isha is happy that her whole family was present at the lunch.

After breakfast, Isha went to her room to get ready for the office when she saw her husband coming inside... she changed into a casual kurti and leggings, and was making a braid while trying to call to Avyan who got so busy in work that he has no time to attend the calls, or should say, the BEAST made sure he doesn't attend any personal calls until he finishes the assigned work, so Avyan texted his sister-in-law that he is busy and will call her later, she is fed up now, he is sending the same text message from the past 3 days and she wanted to talk to him now, she missed him, more than that she is worried for his health, why isn't he coming home?? Is he eating well?? All these questions ran in her head...

She frowned looking at her phone when she got an idea seeing her husband.

"Can I use your phone please??", She asked him and he instantly knew why, he so wanted to say 'No' but for the first time she asked him something, that too his phone, well that's a huge step, he honestly liked it...

"Here, you don't have to ask", he said unlocking his phone and handing it to her...

She searched for Avyan's contact but didn't find it...

"Where is Avyan's number??", She asked him...

"99******21, or go to logs, you'll find his number", Abhyansh said, and she gave him a look of 'why-didn't-you-save-it' and he got it... "I don't save numbers, I remember them mostly", he said and her eyes widened in shock...

"You don't save any numbers??", She asked

"I do some, but of family, and most of the important numbers are saved only in the head", he said, he doesn't keep confidential and highly sensitive information in his phone or even his mac for that matter, even though they have the files, steps to decode them are all in his head so that no one except him could crack the files or info.

"Okay", she nodded, calling Avyan who picked the call in the half ring and Isha fumed in anger, Abhyansh found it funny but he knew better than to make fun of her...

"Bhai sa... the Jaipur mall details are finalized, about the climate change conference you need to attend, I...", saying this Avyan went on detailing about all the tasks he was assigned and their updates, as he is so sure that his brother is calling for the same and he hated to talk unnecessarily, he started even before he heard his brother's voice, he not even in his wildest dreams, thought that someone else would call him from his brother's phone as no one has the audacity to touch the BEAST's phone, or he wouldn't give it willingly ever...

"Avyan... shut up, why didn't you take my call, you attended your bhai sa's call in half a ring whereas I kept calling you for 3 days, but you send this stupid message every time, you were just present for an hour during yesterday’s lunch, you didn't return home from then, what is going on?? Where are you?? Are you eating properly?? And...", she started her rambling, and with her every word, Abhyansh's jealousy is bubbling more and more, same with Avyan's fear... he knew his brother must be just beside her as he didn't leave his phone for a second, and he is hearing all this, Avyan didn't know his brother's jealousy before, but now he does, as Ranveer called him and both of them shared their miseries.

"Bhabhi sa... I was busy with work, I'm so sorry I didn't take your call, and so sorry for yesterday, I will make it up to you, I really wanted to be with you on your anniversary lunch for more time knowing how you want the whole family to be present there, but work you know... thanks to bhai sa that I could attend the lunch though for a short period", Avyan said, the last line to calm his brother, he knew his brother isn't stupid to fall into his trap, but at least he would reduce his punishments when he knows that he is building his image in front of his wife though it's all false... "and yes, I'm eating well, and taking care of my health properly", Avyan added

"Okay... come home for dinner, I'll make your favourite dishes...", she said

"I am sorry Bhabhi sa, I couldn't, a lot of work is pending", he said feeling sorry for himself...

"Okay, try to come Avyan, and take care... okay?? Should I send your food with someone??", Isha asked

"Yes, Bhabhi sa, I'm missing your handmade food", Avyan said

"Okay... will do, I'm sending you both lunch and dinner, don't eat from the cafeteria", she said

"Yes, Bhabhi sa, thank you so much...", Avyan said, when Isha is about to say something, Abhyansh took the phone and disconnected it...

"Why did you disconnect the call?? I didn't even say 'bye' to him", Isha said

"He is working on an important project, he can't keep talking to you and the cafeteria's food is not bad, he could adjust for a week", Abhyansh said in his cold tone...

"Week?? And why would he eat cafeteria meals, when I can send him food daily", she said walking out but came back remembering something... "Rana sa... could you please tell someone to take Avyan's lunch and dinner??", Isha requested cutely, and that had Abhyansh's heart...

"You just order anyone in the house, they would get it delivered", he said

"Would they listen to me??", She asked, because as far as she knew, no one in the family can use the transportation or cars without Abhyansh's permission, Avyan has his own car, except for him any driver working for them should need direct orders from Abhyansh to drive off...

"They will... the moment I declared you the queen, you have got that power Isha...", he said, and she smiled...

"I don't want power though but thank you, I'll ask someone to drop lunch and dinner for Avyan, bye, after that I'll leave for work", she said and he nodded...

He soon wanted to announce her as the queen so that she could go to her work in their own cars rather than taking a cab but for that, he needs to first clear his enemies, 'Kailash Rajput' to be precise...

Isha sent the food to Avyan before leaving for her work, her cab waiting outside, though Abhyansh said she has the authority to even order the drivers or use the cars, she didn't want to... she is thankful to her husband for letting her work through which she is earning, and her salary and bonus are enough for her to survive, she doesn't want any other luxuries... she didn't even get offended or think why Abhyansh didn't offer her a car to use.

She went to her work and discussed something with Ragini when she received a call from her brother... she cut his call, she is discussing some important things with Ragini and also, she is still angry with her brother.

"Ragini... Mr. Rajput is here, I have seen him outside, at the cash counter", Aashna said rushing to Ragini and Isha who are discussing designs inside...

"You mean Mr. Ranveer Rajput??", Ragini asked with a dreamy look... and Isha looked at them as if they are mad, why are they reacting like this to her brother??

"Then what the hell are you doing here girl, go and see to it that the best customer service is offered to him, go...", Ragini ushered as if it's prime minister of India who is at the door, well that's what Isha thought, she didn't know that her brother is a well-known name for being both a successful businessman and the Prince of Mewar and yes obviously for his good looks...

Hearing Ragini, Aashna rushed out to see Ranveer gets the best treatment while Ragini turned to Isha with an apologetic face...

"Ishu... I know I was the one who dragged you from your work, when you are so busy designing your orders, I'm so sorry but I have to go now", Ragini said

"What?? Ragini?? You are the one who said that it's very urgent to discuss our upcoming collection and now you are leaving all for what?? To handle a customer?? Aashna and her team will do their job Ragini, you are needed here...", Isha said

"Isha, he is Ranveer Rajput, you are too innocent baby, he is the prince of Mewar and a very big businessman, and you know what?? His sister, princess of Mewar is our queen, Rani sa, it's our honour that a man like him even chose to come to our boutique, also he is so handsome", Ragini said and left from there...

"I didn't know you are this famous among girls bhai", Isha said to herself with a giggle...

She called her brother to tell him not to inform about her being his sister to anyone... she heard Ragini approaching him from the other side...

"Ishu... where are you, I'm at your...", Ranveer started when Isha cut him off...

"Bhai... don't tell anyone that you are here for me, or I'm your sister... no one knows who I'm", Isha said

"That I know bacha... but...", Ranveer started but got interrupted by Ragini...

"It's our pleasure to have you here Yuvraj...", Ragini greeted him with a smile and that's when Ranveer realized what he did... he thought he could go to his sister's workplace as her brother, people don't know that she is Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's wife, but it's okay to know about her being his sister... he thought no one would recognize him much but he is so wrong... if they managed to recognize him then they also know that he is the brother-in-law of the BEAST and brother of their queen... he sighed at his stupidity...

"Oh! I... well, I'm here to shop for my sister... show some of your best works and please call me Ranveer or Mr. Rajput", Ranveer said to Ragini, hanging up on his sister... Isha shook her head at her brother and got back to her work...

Ragini personally showed their best collection to Ranveer and Ranveer instantly recognized his sister's handwork, he waited for his sister to show up but when she didn't, he decided to use other ways...

"Who designed this??", Ranveer asked knowing very well who did it...

"Oh, this is made by one of the best we have... Isha...", Ragini said with a proud smile, and a smile made its way on his face too, he is proud of his sister...

"I want to meet her... my sister exactly prefers this type of works on her sarees, I want to discuss a few changes, could you call her??", Ranveer asked with a small and polite smile on his face...

"Of course... Aashna, call Isha here...", Ragini said and Isha came there in a minute...

"Yes Ragini, you called??", Isha said coming there... her brother passed a stupid smile to her, which he does every time he messes up... Isha turned her head to other side...

"Isha... Mr. Rajput wants to talk to you about your work, and please show him your other works as well", Ragini told to Isha...

"But...", Isha wanted to protest...

"Isha... baby, please do this for me, he came here to buy a gift for the QUEEN, his sister, you understand how prestigious it is for you, for us, if she wears something from our boutique, it's an honour for us... she is RANI SA, you get my point right?? You know I couldn't even believe Mr. Rajput is here in the first place", Ragini whispered hugging Isha... she didn't understand why they all are so worked about the queen... how would they react when they know she is that queen...

"Sure Ragini, will do", Isha said walking towards Ranveer and Ragini, Aashna too followed them...

"Your work is great, but show something light but elegant... something I gift her and she knows how sorry I'm", Ranveer said looking at Isha...

Ragini and Aashna frowned whereas Isha sighed and showed some of her works... Ranveer occasionally keeps telling how sorry he is through his requirements...

"I think this would match your requirements", Isha said

"This is perfect, do you think my sister will forgive me if I give her this??", Ranveer asked looking at Isha cutely... Ragini and Aashna are busy crushing on Ranveer as he looked absolutely gorgeous and his easy-to-go attitude, his love for his sister, his smile, and his down-to-earth attitude impressed them a lot.

"Depends on your deeds SIR, please excuse me", Isha said politely and walked to do her work...

"I'm so sorry, she has some urgent deliveries to give, that's the reason...", Ragini explained...

"No problem, she is nice though, I would like to take this one...", Ranveer said and Ragini nodded with a smile, Ranveer paid and walked out to his car and called his sister...

"Yes bhai...", she said taking his call...

"Ishu... I'm sorry bacha, how long are you gonna punish your bhayyu??", Ranveer said

"I'm at work, please let me do my work...", Isha said and is about to cut the call when Ranveer said something that stopped her from doing so, he mentally apologized to Avyan for using him but he had to talk to his sister...

"Okay okay, I'm here for something else too, I need to tell you something about Avyan, it's very important, I will wait at the corner of the street, come there, I'll drop you at the palace today, we can talk on the way", he said

"Okay bhai", Isha said and hung up... she went to Ragini to tell her that she is leaving...

"Isha, is everything okay??", Ragini asked

"Yes Ragini, why do you ask??", Isha asked

"You seem a bit off, also you seem very irritated while talking to the prince, I never saw you like that", Ragini said with concern, she isn't worried about her reputation, she is worried about her friend more...

"Ragini, I'm fine... and I'm sorry, I would take care from next time, yeah I'm a bit off but would get fine... don't worry", Isha said and Ragini gave her a hug, after which Isha left...

"Now tell me bhai, what about Avyan??", Isha asked her brother settling in his car...

"Well... why do you think Avyan isn't coming home??", Ranveer asked, and Isha looked at him with confusion... "your husband punished him for enjoying his misery...", Ranveer said

"What?? No...", Isha started but didn't get anything to support her husband...

"Yes, it's true Ishu, I just know it, okay your husband wouldn't lie to you right?? ask him, and if denies it, I will apologize to him for accusing him wrongly... also, think, did Avyan stay the night in the office before??", Ranveer provoked his sister against Abhyansh, and he got successful...

"Take me home bhai...", Isha said and, on their way, they talked casually, Isha too responded normally and that made Ranveer happy...

Ranveer dropped Isha, though she didn't invite him, he invited himself, he so wanted to see BEAST's roast by his sister, so he came inside...

Ranveer went to meet the BEAST directly while Isha went to make coffee for her husband with which she meets her husband every day after she is back from her work...

Abhyansh frowned hearing about Ranveer's visit, he allowed him inside, and looking at Ranveer's sickly sweet smile, his frown deepened...

"What did you do now Rajput??", Abhyansh asked directly...

"You'll know soon, what's so hurry??", Ranveer said settling in front of him...

Both glared at each other, and after a few minutes, Abhyansh started his work ignoring Ranveer but looked up instantly when he heard his wife's anklet sound... he saw her coming with coffee for him...

"You are early today??", He asked with his usual cold tone but Isha could see that he is happy to see her, but she isn't, with what he did to Avyan, well if he really did...

"Yes, I came back with bhai", she repliedhanding him his coffee... he nodded at her... "Maharaj... I want to ask you something", she said, and he frowned at her calling him 'Maharaj', he sensed something is wrong and he knew his brother-in-law is behind it...

"Did you punish Avyan for witnessing our conversation??", She asked, 'for witnessing your soft side or you pleading me for forgiveness??', She wanted to say but didn't, if her husband didn't like her talking to him casually, she wouldn't... "is it the reason why Avyan is working so much??", She asked softly...

Abhyansh glared at Ranveer who smirked at him in return...

"Yes...", Abhyansh said taking a deep breath, he knew his wife would be hurt and blame herself for it but he can't lie, before he never had to lie as he feared none and nothing, but now he fears her getting hurt but couldn't lie as he is never used to it.

"I'm sorry, even after knowing you hate someone back answering you, I did, I shouldn't have talked back to you in the kitchen that night, that too in front of him, it's my fault, please punish me, not Avyan, it's not his fault that he is there...", Isha said teary-eyed...

"No, Isha... stop crying... it's not your fault and you can say anything to me, I'm your husband...", he said, Ranveer enjoyed the BEAST's misery just like he enjoyed his, a couple of days ago...

"Is it not why you punished Avyan?? He heard someone talking back to the king, and you felt insulted, I can ask forgiveness in front of everyone if that's what you want, but don't punish Avyan, and I wouldn't talk to you back here on... in fact, I won't talk to you until and unless it is necessary", she said, this time she acted, she knew her husband badly wanted her to behave like a wife, he enjoyed her taunts as well, he loved it... but all he hated is his brother witnessing it...

"Isha...", Abhyansh exasperated... Ranveer chuckled at his misery...

"Rajput... get out", Abhyansh said

"Oh, I'm sorry, you don't want me to witness you pacifying my sister?? The mighty king feels insulted to bow for his wife, in front of an audience... I understand, I'm going", Ranveer added fuel, and acted as if getting up and leaving from there but he is sure Abhyansh would stop him and he did...

"Stop... you can stay...", Abhyansh said... he wanted privacy to pacify his wife, he is not comfortable in displaying his emotions and soft side in front of people... but if he kicks Ranveer out now, his already upset wife would get more upset but what she said surprised him...

"Bhai... could you please stay here while Rana sa and I will come in 5 minutes", she said and Ranveer is shocked... his sister is spoiling all his plans of enjoying the BEAST's misery...

She knew her husband's problem, but she didn't want to hurt his brother's respect by asking him to go out, so she brought herself and her husband alone... they went to a connecting room to the study and locked the door...

"You amaze me", Abhyansh said pulling her into his arms and she blushed... "and what was that?? You won't talk to me from now??", Abhyansh asked, his lips touching her cheek...

"I... I mean unnecessarily...", she fumbled with his proximity...

"And I would let you?? Isha ... I know you didn't like me punishing Avyan... but he was enjoying my misery too much, I had to do it...", Abhyansh said, and Isha glared at him...

"Okay, I will stay silent from now, that way, no one gets a chance to enjoy your misery, I'm sorry", she said, and he sighed...

"Rani sa... don't say that... you know me... I want you to do it, I enjoy your talks, I enjoy your punishments, I want you to do everything you are doing to me from the past few days, and more... I'm yours to do anything... I'm your husband... and it's your right, you know it very well...", he said, and she smiled with ablush looking down...

"Okay, I understand, you are my husband in our room, and I can do or say anything in our room but outside it, you are the king, and I should give you respect, I'm sorry, I'll keep that in mind", she said and he shakes his head

"Why are you sorry?? You have done nothing, and you are always respectful to me outside our bedroom, you are more respectful than is required from my wife and a queen... you just obey me, never back answer me... which I don't mind you doing", he said

"Yeah, one time I did only for you to scream at me badly", she muttered, and he smiled...

"That was about your respect, my father has no right to disrespect you and I had to teach him a lesson... I'm sorry I shouted at you...", he said kissing her cheek... "sorry", he said again with another kiss on the cheek making her go deep red... he rubbed her cheeks with his nose and lips making her go crazy over his touches...

"Rana sa...", she said closing her eyes...

"Hm...", he said kissing her ear lobe...

"Rana sa", she moaned when he slowly bit her ear lobe making him go crazy... he turned her towards him and placed his lips on hers, and she is too clouded with passion, she couldn't think of anything else with his lips on hers, she lost her senses, he kissed her like there is no tomorrow and she too moved her lips on his trying to copy his actions, she fisted his suit jacket, but he took her hands and made them wound around his shoulder, and she slowly moved her right palm to his hair and fisted them moving him more into her making him go crazy and painfully hard, her responsiveness, passion, and soft lips took his passion to a next level... he bit her lower lip which made her gasp, he entered her mouth and explored it making her moan heavily... she regretted not letting him kiss her in these days and like someone poured cold water on her, she came into her senses remembering why she decided to stay away from him physically at least, in the first place... 'I don't go for sl*ts like you', his words ran in her mind, and she suddenly went breathless with a slight ache in her heart, she removed her hands from his hair and shoulder and pushed him away gently, he broke the kiss sensing her breathlessness but when he saw extreme agony and tears in her eyes, he is perplexed...

"Did I hurt you??", Abhyansh asked softly cupping her face... she looked into his beautiful eyes holding concern, care, love and worry in them which are usually emotionless for everyone else. For a second, she cursed herself for spoiling her present thinking about her past, but on the other side, she wanted to know his reasons for hurting her so badly, only then she could give her 100% to this marriage, wholeheartedly...

"No...", she said with a small smile but that worried him more... because she isn't blushing, which she usually does, her face held fake assurance so that he believes her whereas something else altogether is running in her head... he knew she won't share it with him instantly, she needs time, and he should give her though not willingly...

"You can tell me anything, ask me anything... okay?? Don't hesitate", he said, he is not good at words, but he tried for her, and she appreciated his efforts a lot... she loved her husband and hated worrying him...

"Okay...", she said hugging him, surprising him... he held her waist with one arm caressing her hair with the other and kissing her hair softly... "call Avyan home... please..." she said looking at his face still in his arms...

" Rani sa ...", he groaned, and she giggled... "You are enjoying this, aren't you??", he said in his usual cold tone, but she got used to it...

"No, Rana sa... I know you don't like reversing your punishments, but Avyan is not at fault...", she said, and he groaned again...

"He is at fault, he was not supposed to enjoy the king's misery... but I'll revoke his punishment for you, but let me tell you, I still feel he is at fault but I'm just doing it for you", he said, and she gave a bright smile that made his day...

"He was not supposed to enjoy the king's misery, but he is allowed to enjoy his elder brother's", she said and he looked at her with some unknown emotions, how to tell her that he doesn't share casual sibling relationship with his brother, heck he doesn't share a normal relationship with anyone in the family or outside family, except for her...

"Rana sa... like I can tell you anything, you can tell me anything too... you know that right??", She said, she hesitated a bit to tell him that but looking at his troubled eyes, she badly wanted to know his pain and comfort him...

"I know, one day, I will", he said but he didn't know when that day will come... he is nowhere near to sharing his past with anyone, not even her...

"Okay... now I'll go... call Avyan home, he should be home for dinner", she said without much thinking but when she realized she just ordered him, her eyes widened, but he bowed his head in front of her, like everyone else do whenever he throws commands at them...

" Ji Rani sa... ", he said bowing his head once more shocking her...

"Rana sa... what are you doing??", She gasped walking to him holding his arms...

"You are the only one in front of whom I can bow willingly and happily... Isha... I'm dominant, I want to be in control of things... everything goes as per my wish, but when it comes to you, I'm controlling a lot of things keeping you in mind, sometimes, or most of the time, I might fail, because this is very difficult for me... don't leave me if I do something to offend you, make me realize my faults, I'm trying to change myself for you, have patience with me, I know you do... and I'm glad about it... I'm difficult to handle but...", he started but she interrupts him...

"Rana sa... do you want me to change myself for you??", She asked him, and he frowned...

"You are perfect the way you are", he said cupping her face...

"Same goes for you... I don't like it that you are trying to change yourself for me... I don't want you to do it... I am happy with you, with the way you are, I don't have a problem with you having control of things, if I want something, I'll ask you to do it as I did now... I want to understand you, I want to learn to handle you, yes, you are difficult to handle, but I like how you become so easy to handle for me... even though it gets difficult, I want to try, I can take anything but don't disrespect me or hurt me physically... rest all I can manage", she said the last part slowly... she didn't want to remind him of his faults but she wanted to convey to him, that she is willing to accept him the way he is except for his abusive-self...

"Isha... look at me...", he said and she looked at him with her big innocent eyes which are now welled up, he gently wiped her tears which are ready to fall down... "I'm sorry I hurt you so badly... I know a sorry won't fix things, I detest myself for doing all that to you, I won't do that to you again... when you got shot in front of me, I felt as if someone is killing me brutally... I never felt that pain, never... yet I left you to die on the road, you know why?? I wanted to kill the human that I started to become for you, but don't know what happened that I actually took you to the hospital... thank God I did, I don't know what I would have done if something were to happen to you, even the thought is scary... I can't lose you Isha... you are everything to me...", she started sobbing hearing his words, she can hear his agony, this is the first time he is opening up about his feelings and she is more than happy to hear his feelings... he gently wiped her tears... "you know how much these tears hurt me... you are precious to me Isha... even the thought of you in pain causes so much distress to me... I can never hurt you, never intentionally... sometimes, I can't hold my anger Isha... my fury is very dangerous, just stay away from me during those times, though I can never hurt you physically, I don't want you to get hurt by my words or anger either", he said and she nodded... but, she didn't want to stay away from him, she wanted to stay nearer and calm his anger... she wanted that closeness, that bond with him and she would wait for that day...

"I can't believe that the man who hated even having a human presence around him is now talking so much...", she said with a bright smile, and he shook his head, his lips slightly twitched upwards...

"Who told you that??", He asked her

"Bhai told me, that you even hate humans around you, let alone conversing with them...", she said and he nodded...

"I do, I don't like talking at all", he said

"Yeah, I know that, anyone who sees you will know that, but I didn't know you hate human presence too", she giggled and his lips twitched seeing her giggle... "you call this smile?? People had to use a microscope to actually notice it, well I'm not sure even that could help", she said and he raised his brows in amusement at his wife's courage, he liked her freeness...

"Well, you are stuck with an arrogant, brooding man for life, get used to it, and people don't have to see my smile, and you don't need a microscope to understand it, so problem solved", he said and she blushed with his intense gaze...

"I'll go see dinner arrangements... I'll prepare his favourite food, he is coming home after 3 days", she said and tried to move but he pulled her back to his arms...

"There is still time for it, and no need to stress yourself preparing Avyan's favourites, he is just returning from office, not from a war that you are getting excited so much....", he said and she frowned...

"Stop being so rude to Avyan...", she said with a rightful tone, and he nodded like a baby...

"I would listen to everything you say if you use that tone...", he said and she blushed... " Isha ... don't you want to say anything in response??", He asked and she knew what he is asking... he let out his emotions to assure her that he wouldn't hurt her ever and now he wanted that assurance, that she wouldn't leave him...

"I won't leave you ever, for me, life is with you Rana sa... there are many things I need to know before starting a proper life with you, I...I don't know how to do that, but I can't leave you ever, but I always stay in fear that what if you leave me?? You hated me once, what if you start hating me again, even the thought is... I can't handle it... you won't hate me right??", She said and he looked at her in surprise...

"You still think I'm capable of hating you??", He asked her shaking his head, wiping her tears... Isha smiled at him, he kissed her cheek and let her go...

"I'll leave now... Ma would be worried about dinner, these days I keep giving her shocks by getting late", she said giggling...

"Okay, your devar sa will be home for dinner, I'll reduce his workload as well, any other orders??", He asked her with a teasing tone and she glared at him making him smirk at her...

"Aap aise kyun hai?? (Why are you like this??)", she whined and walked to leave from there making him chuckle…

She saw Ranveer sitting there, sleeping on the couch with his mouth open slightly... Abhyansh came behind her and sat at his throne chair to work... he saw her caressing her brother’s hair affectionately...

"He looks so tired... maybe worried that I'm not talking to him", she shared with her husband surprising him, she never did that before, she never felt that closeness with her husband to share things with him, but now she did...

"Hm...", Abhyansh responded looking at her with full concentration so that she knew he is interested in listening but couldn't respond as he didn't know what to say, he is not a talker...

"Keep working, I know you can multi-task", she said walking towards him... she keeps surprising him with her understanding, how much does she know him... he starts working while listening to her complaints about her brother... "why does he do such things that make me mad when he couldn't take my anger, why to make me upset and then regret", she said and Abhyansh hummed listening to her parallelly working on his mac. "Aap ko kya lagta hai Rana sa(what do you think??), should I forgive him??", she asks him...

Before Abhyansh could answer, Ranveer who woke up, answered her...

"Why the hell are you asking him Ishu??", he sounded offended

"Because I'm her husband Rajput", Abhyansh answered... Isha sighed... here starts a war between her husband and brother...

"I'm going, you two continue", Isha said and walked out, Abhyansh glared at Ranveer and he reciprocated it...

"We were having a good conversation and you had to butt in...", Abhyansh said in his cold tone...

"You call it a conversation?? The conversation is when two people talk, what's your contribution in that 'so-called' conversation?? 'Hm', mm, 'huu' are not words Ranawat", Ranveer said and Abhyansh glared at him hardly...

"Get out Rajput", Abhyansh said

"Gladly, I'm here for my sister anyways", Ranveer said and went out making Abhyansh shake his head at his brother-in-law's childishness... he is a kid and made his sister a kid too, by showing her Tom & Jerry and Pokémon... Abhyansh cursed his brother-in-law with some colourful words before getting back to his work... he already texted his brother about the revoking of his punishment the moment his wife asked him, anything she wants...

Ranveer stopped Isha to talk to her but she left saying she had dinner to prepare... Avyan returned home so happy that Isha smiled brightly looking at his happiness...

"Bhabhi sa... thank you so so much", he said entering the kitchen when he got to know that Isha is in the kitchen... looking at his smile and happiness, Isha too smiled brightly...

"I did nothing, it's your bhai sa who did it", she said stirring the curry...

"Wow, paneer burji?? My favourite, thank you so much, you are the best...", he said, Amruta who went out to give company to Ranveer returned hearing her son's loud tone...

"Avyan, why are you shouting?? I could hear you sitting in the hall, go and freshen up till then, the dinner will be ready", Amruta said

"Yes ma", he said, kissing her cheek, and ran away...

"What happened to him??", Amruta asked Isha with a smile cutting vegetables for salad...

"Don't know ma", she said giggling, she didn't want to tell Amruta about her husband's punishment to her brother-in-law and how he revoked it now, she thought it would unnecessarily worry her...

The dinner went peacefully and when Ranveer was leaving, Isha went to see him off...

"Ishu, how long will you be upset with me?? Don't I have the right to look after your welfare?? I love you and I'm afraid of you getting hurt, don't I have the right to think about what's right for you??", Ranveer asked

"You do bhai, you even have the right to ask me to divorce him, well divorcing him or not is my decision but you have the right to ask me to do so, but betraying me?? Deceiving me?? How do you justify that?? I trusted you bhai", she said with tears...

"I regret it Ishu, but you didn't leave me with a choice, I know you wouldn't divorce him, so I had to do that... you got angry and stopped talking to me when I said I don't regret trying to get you divorced, but that's the truth...", he said

"I said I won't talk to you, not because you didn't regrettrying to get me divorced, but for calling him BEAST, I asked you not to call him that right", she said

"You think it will affect him in any way if someone calls him a 'BEAST', no it doesn't, in fact, he takes pride in it", Ranveer said and Isha glared at him... "Okay okay, I won't say anything about him, but please talk to me normally, forgive me now bacha", he pleaded...

"No, I won't, now leave, call me after you reach", she said and walked inside...

"Now I have only one option to make you forgive me, father... get ready to bear some physical damages", Ranveer said to himself before calling his man...

The next day after breakfast, when everyone is done with breakfast and Isha is getting ready for work in their room when she received a call...

"What??", Isha said and Abhyansh who too is getting ready or should say, staring at his wife who is getting ready is startled by her sudden anguished tone... "okay, I'm coming bhai... don't worry, be strong", she said softly, Abhyansh frowned seeing her talk so softly to her brother, as far as he knew, she didn't forgive him yet, 'what sick game are you playing now Rajput??' Thought Abhyansh, as soon as she hung up, he looked at her for an explanation...

"Kaku sa got into an accident last night, he is not well, bhai sounded so low...", Isha said getting worried for her brother and her uncle as well, he is her father's brother and she will always want good for him, though he treated her very badly... she didn't have it in her to hate him...

"As far as I know, your brother hates his father and now he is worried if he is hurt??", Abhyansh questioned, well he knew it's Ranveer's plan to get Isha's attention... but his wife is too innocent, she frowned at his words...

"How can you say that Rana sa, he is bhai's father, bhai doesn't hate Kaku sa, it's just that he didn't like the way he treated me... that doesn't mean he wants his father hurt or wouldn't be sad when he is in pain", she said and Abhyansh sighed... 'huh... sad and your brother?? He is the one who had hurt your Kaku sa...', Abhyansh wanted to say but didn't for obvious reasons...

"Okay, come let's go", Abhyansh said, there is no way in the hell he is leaving his wife alone with Ranveer... he won't let him manipulate Isha, determined Abhyansh.

"Yeah... your bhai is in so much pain, we need to support him at this tough time keeping aside our differences", Abhyansh said internally smirking, 'two can play this game Rajput'

"You are so good Rana sa, thank you", Isha said and Abhyansh felt bad for taking advantage of her innocence...

Isha went out and Abhyansh followed her... seeing the elevator, she started sweating...

"Hold my hand, come", Abhyansh said and Isha did as he said... she started sweating badly when the elevator doors shut down and it started going down, but when Abhyansh side-hugged her and rubbed her shoulders, she visibly calmed down... after they reached the garage, this time the guards opened the door for her as well along with their king and they settled in the car. Abhyansh took the fresh water bottle in the car and gave it to her, after sliding down the partition between the driver and the rest of the car...

"You okay now?? Don't worry, I'm getting an escalator here, you don't have to use elevators anymore", he said and she looked at him as he just spoke something very strange...

"You are too much Rana sa... it's not much, I can survive a few minutes in an elevator and I completely manage when I have you beside me... escalator is not needed", Isha said

"It is required", Abhyansh said in his decisive tone and Isha sighed, she knew, now there is no use in arguing with him, so she kept quiet...

They reached Rajput palace and Isha can hear Sheela's cries, Abhyansh tried to control his fury and his urge to kill seeing that woman...

Isha gasped cupping her face seeing her uncle lying on the bed, his body is fully covered with bandages, and several wires and machines are attached to it... Isha went to her brother who is sitting on a chair beside the bed with teary and red eyes, well he is trying hard not to look at Abhyansh's face... looking at him, Ranveer got disappointed, now he can't manipulate his sister into forgiving him... but he could try for sure...

"Isha... father...", saying this Ranveer hugged her... Abhyansh narrowed his eyes at his brother-in-law's acting, he got to know one thing, he can never pull this level of acting ever, he should agree, his brother-in-law is a professional...

"Bhai... calm down... be strong, Kaku sa will be fine...", Isha assured her brother...

"I feel there is something wrong with this place, first you got into an accident and got bed-ridden, then Isha and now it's your father", Sheela Rajput said and Abhyansh's blood boiled hearing the woman, he so wanted to break the woman's teeth...

"Well, Isha's wasn't an accident mother, she got shot because of father", Ranveer said and Isha held his shoulder stopping him from saying anything bad to a man who is bedridden and unable to even get a single word out of his mouth...

"Stop hating your father at least now Veer", Sheela said and Abhyansh couldn't control his temper anymore, so he left to the chamber he stayed with Isha the last time he visited the palace... one more second in that lady's presence, he would actually take out his revolver and shoot her in the head, so he left, he didn't want the woman to die so easily, he planned everything nicely for both husband-wife, and regarding Kailash Rajput, only he knew how he controlled himself not to rip him into pieces...

After some time, Ranveer and Isha came there...

"Thank you, Ranawat, Isha told me how you came here to 'support' me leaving out differences", Ranveer said stressing on 'support', Ranveer very well knew his brother-in-law came to spoil his plan not to support him...

Abhyansh mentally appreciated Ranveer's acting...

"Don't mention Rajput", Abhyansh said

All three sat there, discussing how it happened and what the doctors said... well, Isha and Ranveer discussed whereas Abhyansh sat there working on his phone as he is least interested in hearing Ranveer's well-scripted story... after some time, Isha cooked a quick meal for her brother, she took it to him where her brother and husband are lying on either sides of the bed... seeing Isha with food tray, Ranveer started his award-winning performance by sighing sadly as if he didn't want to eat, but inside he badly wanted to have the food prepared by his sister, but he had to gain her sympathy, so he denied eating lunch and seeing him so sad, Isha too didn't force him...

Isha called Abhyansh for lunch but he refused saying he had some work, but made sure she had her dinner, she didn't want to but she didn't have a say in front of her husband so she had her food, Abhyansh intentionally didn't have his lunch as he didn't want Isha to completely focus on Ranveer, he knew Ranveer skipped lunch to gain sympathy but like the hell he would let it happen... Abhyansh sat with Ranveer the whole time, and Isha thought Abhyansh didn't have his food for Ranveer, well he made her think like that and just like that, he spoiled Ranveer's plan...

In the evening, after making sure the doctor and nurses have settled in their rooms, Isha guided the staff to make food for them and then made dinner for the three of them and took it to her brother...

"Bhai... I know you didn't eat anything from the morning, please have this...", Isha said holding a morsel in front of Ranveer...

"I don't want Ishu...", Ranveer acted as if he is sad...

"Bhai... don't worry, Kaku sa would be fine soon... please have it...", she pleaded holding a morsel in front of him... he opened his mouth and she fed him the dinner... all this while, a pair of blue-green eyes are staring at him, no glaring at him for the acting he put on to have his wife's attention...

After feeding him... Isha made her brother drink water as if he is a baby and Abhyansh's heart burned in jealousy... he needs to divert her attention, he couldn't tolerate this anymore, thought the BEAST

"I'm hungry Isha... I didn't have my lunch too...", Abhyansh said trying to divert his wife's attention from her brother...

"Oh! I'll serve you dinner right away...", she said disappointing him, he thought she would feed him like she did to her brother...

"No need, I don't want to", he said and she frowned...

"But you said you were hungry", she asked with confusion

"I'm not now...", he said, and she got confused seeing his mood...

"Okay tell me when you are hungry, I will serve you dinner, I'll be in the kitchen, preparing bhai's favourite dessert", she said smiling at her brother who gave her a small sad smile acting as if he is sad... "don't think so much bhayyu... tell me if you feel like eating anything else too, okay??", Isha asked and Ranveer nodded

Saying this she walked away...

"So much for keeping my sister away from me huh Ranawat??", Ranveer smirked...

"You b**t**d, you are using your a** of a father to gain my wife's sympathy", Abhyansh fumed...

"Well, I thought that my a** of a father is useless but he got useful for something to me", Ranveer smirked making Abhyansh fume in anger but soon that turned into a dangerous smirk

"You are messing with the wrong man Rajput", Abhyansh said and his smirk rang danger bells in Ranveer's head... the moment Ranveer played this drama, he decided to give a bigger shock to his brother-in-law to compensate for the game he is playing...

Isha got back with Ranveer's favourite dessert, and he relished it, all throughout keeping the sad facade intact...

"Rana sa, have your dinner, you didn't even have your lunch", Isha said and Abhyansh waited for her to feed him like he did to her brother... "I'll serve you, come", she said and this irritated him...

"I'm not hungry Isha...", he said and she sighed...

"But...", she started but Ranveer interrupted her

"Ishu, bring me some water bacha...", Ranveer said and she immediately walked inside making her husband furious...

"You want my sister to feed you?? Haha, not in a million years, she feeds only me, she loves me the most, and she is most comfortable with me", Ranveer fuelled the fire...

"Rajput...", Abhyansh started but seeing his wife, he stopped

Isha gave her brother the water and went to the small dining table in the chamber, served dinner in two plates and then came to her husband...

"Please have your dinner Rana sa, I didn't have mine too, I'm hungry, doing all the work tired me, let's have dinner together, come, please", she pleaded so cutely that it melted the BEAST's heart...

"Why do you have to work so much?? From tomorrow, you will just supervise, understood??", Abhyansh said and she nodded...

"Now come, let's have dinner", Isha said

"I'm not hungry, you carry on", he said purposely

"I'm not going to have a single morsel without you, that's all", she said and his lips twitched...

"Okay, I'm coming", he said and she smiled brightly, and walked to the dining table whereas Abhyansh turned to Ranveer giving him a smirk...

"You are her brother and she put you before her, but I'm her life partner, she puts me with her, well, I prefer to be with her than before her as I get to spend time with her, mark my words, Isha and her time are mine alone, see you Rajput, my wife and I had a dinner to have together...", Abhyansh taunted and now it's Ranveer's turn to fume...
