The next day, at the breakfast table, everyone is wondering about Ranveer because he never missed breakfast or dinner as that's the only time he gets to see his sister and she wouldn't run away whereas Isha knew why he isn't there, she missed her brother, she realized she has hurt him a lot, she never did that before, whatever people have done to hurt her, she never thought bad about them or got angry with them, she didn't even know how to, though what she has for her brother is not anger, it's the extreme pain that made her react that way, yes he didn't come to save her, and when the only person who is everything to her, gave up on her, she fell apart, but deep down, her brother's presence around her these days kind of brought peace to her, all these weeks, she didn't talk to him but having him beside her repaired her broken form bit by bit, and most importantly, her husband didn't punish her much which she knew is again done by her brother, everyone thought that Ranveer is staying in Ranawat palace leaving his pride for his sister's forgiveness but only she and Abhyansh knew that he is doing that to keep his sister safe from the BEAST. 

Abhyansh was enjoying the happenings, he actually wants to see how far Ranveer could go for a sister who didn't bother to even say a word back, despite knowing her brother is hell worried and suffering for her... 

Everyone was having breakfast when the servant rushed inside...

"Hukum, I seek forgiveness for interrupting your breakfast, but this is urgent, Prince Ranveer Rajput met with an accident yesterday night, he will be shifted to his palace in an hour", the servant said and Isha's eyes widened in shock, and worry... the servants are supposed to inform Abhaynsh immediately as soon as they get any important news about particular people, and those involve his very important business partners, his family, and rivals, and Ranveer's name is the first in the list after the family, so the servant had to follow the protocol.

"How is he ?? Is he okay ?? He... Please tell me, please...", Isha ran towards the servant asking him the questions, forgetting all the rules, she isn't supposed to move from beside the dining table till the King finished his breakfast. 

"He is fine... Mrs. Ranawat...", the servant answered looking down...

"Leave...", Abhyansh said calmly having his breakfast, he already knew Ranveer has an accident while driving home last night, his men who were following him took him to the hospital and informed him the very minute. 

"Maharaj, can I go and see my brother ?? Please I beg you...", Isha asked...

"No...", Abhyansh said flatly continuing his breakfast...

She wanted to go no matter what going against his orders, she is not afraid of his punishment when it came to her brother, but she promised him that she would be his slave and follow his every word. She is a true Rajput and Rajputs never go back on their words, so she can't go back on her words...

"Maharaj, please, I beg you, Maharaj... my brother... he is my brother, please...", she fell on her knees crying, she hated herself for falling weak and crying in front of the BEAST and showing her weak self to him, but she couldn't control herself, it's her brother, she loves him more than anything and the thought of him getting into an accident is worrying her to the core. How she said that word to him kept running in her head, she knew that would hurt him, then why did she say that ?? She is hurt, in pain but that doesn't mean she hurts her brother, thinking all this, she felt regret and guilt, and more tears slipped... and Abhyansh's words made her cry more...

"What are you ?? You treat your brother like he is a stranger when he is here begging you to talk to him, and now when he is on his deathbed, you are crying for him, which emotion is real ?? You women, all are the same...", he said glaring at his mother...

"He is not on his deathbed", Isha said standing up but still looking down and her voice stiff... 

"so you don't have to go", Abhyansh said, he actually has plans to visit Ranveer with Isha, but he is just playing with her, giving her pain, and looking at her struggling became his favorite hobby...

"Maharaj, please...", Isha said and the vulnerability he heard in her voice was never before, yes he heard extreme fear but not vulnerability. He decided to show mercy on her, deciding to give all the punishments to her at once later...

"We are leaving in 5", he said and continued with his breakfast, she nodded vigorously, ran to get her mobile, and is back in 4 minutes, exactly at the end of the 5th minute, Abhyansh got up and left, Amruta quickly gave her a hug and asked her to be strong, Isha thanked her mother-in-law and left from there behind her husband.

She saw he was not going towards the main exit, but she knew better than to question her husband, she doesn't wanna piss him off now and make him mad at her, she can't risk that, she has to see her brother and take care of him... They walked down, and after walking for a half kilometer, she found an elevator which she didn't know the place has, she entered it behind her husband and the doors closed... This is her first time getting into an elevator and she feared it and he observed she is claustrophobic. He smirked thinking to punish her using this sometime in the future...

The doors opened and she jumped out of the lift, breathing heavily... After recovering, she realized that she is in a basement where there is a minimum of hundred cars, and by looking at them she can say they all are expensive. 

She thought he loves cars, but all these cars were brought as revenge on Abhyansh's ex-boss, a man under whom he used to work, and a man who criticized him and looked down upon him. That day he promised himself that he would become powerful and rich enough to snatch his ex-boss's most prized possession, and that is he has a weird habit of buying the first model of every car released by the top 3 automobile companies in the globe. And from the time Abhyansh founded his own firm, he started buying all those cars, at one point in time, his ex-boss's ego got so bruised, that he fell into Abhyansh's trap, he bid for the first make of that model and almost lost half of his fortune to it. And destroying a very stable company and a successful CEO made Abhyansh an overnight star in the business world and his actions of intellect, cruelty, and wisdom quickly earned the power and position he enjoys today.

The driver opened the door for him, and the King got inside, the driver is about to open it for Isha as well but Abhyansh stopped him asking him to start the car, Isha quickly got into the car beside him. He closed the partition and looked at her, whereas she kept looking down rubbing her hands in nervousness, sitting in a closed space with the BEAST is suffocating for her, but thankfully she was reminded of her brother's condition and her anxiety was replaced by worry. She started praying to god to keep her brother safe, though she knew he is safe, she needs to see it with her eyes...

"You are not my slave in the Rajput palace...", Abhyansh said and her eyes widened, did he actually say that ?? "Act like my wife", he added, ouch! that hurt, act ?? She is his wife, she wanted to say, but like always she didn't, her brother is more important and his thoughts kept her occupied for now...

Abhyansh didn't want things to go out, his wife is his slave but people don't have to know that. That is why he asked Isha to behave like that. He is a BEAST, everyone is aware of it but how he treats his wife, is something he would like to keep low. 

"Yes Maharaj...", she said bowing down...

Soon they reached, and Isha jumped out of the car and ran inside her palace, Abhyansh for once thought she has springs inside her body seeing the way she jumped and ran inside... He got down and followed inside.

Isha thought she would never visit the palace again, but here she is... She didn't think she would miss the palace considering how much torture she bore in that place but surprisingly she did...

"Isha...", the lady servant said pulling her into a hug... 

Sheela and Kailash never allowed anyone to call her 'your highness' or 'princess'. they treated her like other servants, in fact, worse...

"Bhayyu ??", Isha asked, Abhyansh observed how some servants are treating Isha like a family not as a royal. 

"In his chamber...", the lady responded and Isha ran towards it...

The servants bowed seeing Abhyansh and he walked to the door, with his infamous emotionless face without responding. They felt bad and concerned for their princess, thinking about how she would be managing such a husband. If only they knew, he was never a husband to her.

"Bhai...", Isha ran into Ranveer and hugged him sobbing on his chest...

He just returned from the hospital, he is not in a situation to even move his legs, doctors are still setting up the machines to provide him with home treatment for him as he wished... Ranveer wanted to keep his sister with him for a few days until he recovers as that would be a good excuse to keep her away from the beast. 

Since he got into an accident, why not use this in his favor, he knew after hearing about his accident, his sister would run to him forgetting her anger and that happened... He knew she wouldn't agree to stay, but he has another drama planned up to make her agree...

"Bhai... You okay ?? How did you get into an accident, you drive carefully no ?? Were you drunk ??", She dropped questions breaking the hug...

"Ishu... you came for me, if I knew my accident would bring you to me, I would have gotten into one much before", he said kissing her forehead. She rolled her eyes at her brother's drama, Abhyansh for the first time is witnessing his wife's playful side...

"Bhai ?? Done ?? now tell me, were you drunk ??", She asked him narrowing her eyes and wiping the tears...

"How would it matter Ishu ?? Leave it, now I'm fine", Ranveer said

"So, you were drunk, how many times did I tell you not to drive after having alcohol ?? That is not safe, it's against the rules too, just because you have money or influence doesn't give you have a right to break the rules...", she said hitting his head...

"Ouch! Idiot, that hurts", Ranveer said rubbing his head... "Are you really my doctor ?? Can't you see she is hurting your patient, tell her something", Ranveer said turning to the doctor, whereas for the poor doctor, even taking normal breaths became difficult as being in the same room as the BEAST created unlimited tension in the room... Looking at the doctor's face, Ranveer understood and rolled his eyes at his brother-in-law's image...

"th...that...", Doctor started fumbling...

"He isn't hurt on the head right ??", Isha asked worriedly...

"No your highness...", the doctor said... "his left hand and legs are completely fractured, and he needs complete bed rest for a whole month... two nurses will be here to take care of him, and a junior doctor too, I will come here once in two days to monitor his progress...", the senior middle-aged doctor said and Isha politely thanked him...

Doctor quickly walked away, thanking his stars... 

"Mr. Ranawat, thanks for bringing my sister", Ranveer said genuinely, though his tone held a bit of sarcasm to irritate Abhyansh...

"Mention not Rajput, consider this as compensation", Abhyansh said and Ranveer quickly understood what he is talking about... Ranveer doubted Abhyansh's hand in his father's disappearance and now his words confirmed it. He gritted his teeth to control his anger and not blurt something in front of his sister.  

"Sir, you need to take medicines...", the nurse said whose position is more or less the same as their doctor who is lucky enough to escape unlike them... Ranveer understood their problem and dismissed them asking them to detail about the medicines to Isha, they did and left, telling him they will be in the guest rooms and just press the button if there is any need.

"I'll make some food for you, then you can have your medicines...", Isha said and was about to get up when Ranveer held her hand and made her sit...

"I know you didn't forgive me yet, I'll make it up to you, Ishu you are my everything, your bhayyu lives for you, only for you, you know it, don't you ??", Ranveer said

"I know, now forget all that, I'm sorry bhayyu, I told all that to you, and I'm sorry I was angry with you for nothing, you are right, it was me who pushed you. Anyways leave the past, I love you the most, you are my everything too, now let me go and prepare something for you", Isha said getting up, she didn't want to hold anything against her brother, even if there were some complaints, she didn't want to show it to him and get him worried. Whatever happened to her has happened, holding on to it or letting her brother know about that has no sense, it causes unnecessary problems for her brother which she never wanted. So she decided to let it go. And Ranveer understood his sister very well...

"Ishu, cook in the kitchen here, don't go down, I don't want you to encounter that woman who is unfortunately my mother", Ranveer said

"Bhai...", Isha reprimanded him... "She is your mother, you can't say that to her, it's wrong", Isha said

"She deserves it Ishu, for torturing you, when are you gonna tell me ??", Ranveer asked her and Isha looked at him with wide eyes... How did he know ?? She never told him about the torture her aunt and uncle do to her. Her brother just knows they don't treat her with love and feel she is a burden, but only when he came to India and Isha got married, did he get to know about all the tortures except for Madan one, which he got to know just the previous day. Previously, Isha made sure he never get to know.

"It's fine", Isha said dismissing them...

"It's not", Ranveer screamed and Isha's eyes widened, she signaled her husband's presence to her brother but he just rolled his eyes...

Abhyansh loved the drama unfolding. His wife has been tortured since childhood ?? that wasn't hard for him to guess as looking at the hatred her uncle has for her, anything could be possible... but he is yet to know that she has been caged for years inside the palace.

"don't shout, let me make food for you, till then take some rest", Isha said softly... and turned to leave... she turned towards her husband where he is sitting on the chair and looking at something on his phone... 

"Maharaj, do you want something to eat or drink ??", She asked him looking down...

"Coffee", he said, she bowed in okay and walked away, after 5 minutes, she gave him his coffee and went to the kitchen to cook food for her brother.

"Mr. Ranawat, let Isha stay here till I recover", Ranveer asked

"No Rajput", Abhyansh denied outrightly...

"She is my sister, she would stay with me as long as I want", Ranveer said adamantly

"She is my slave, she will obey me", Abhyansh said

"Don't call her that", Ranveer said getting angry...

"Ask her, and see", Abhyansh said coldly...

"Will you agree if she agrees ??", Ranveer asked

"Will see, and let me tell you, she won't, she fears me the most", Abhyansh said pompously

"Maybe, but she loves me the most, and don't forget, she is my sister", Ranveer said, and before Abhyansh could reply Isha came back with food for his brother...

Isha started feeding Ranveer, though his right hand is fine. Abhyansh noticed this and looking at how lovingly she fed her brother, he knew she actually loves her brother, she is not faking it, but again she is a woman, anything is possible with them...

"You made my favorite kichadi ?? I love your handmade food, even if it's just kichadi it's yummy Ishu", Ranveer said and Isha smiled at him, feeding him more...

"I will make your favorite lunch, the nurse said you can eat all normal food, I'll make it less oily but you will love it...", Isha said ruffling his hair, he nodded with excitement and she giggled...

"Ishu, you are gonna stay with me till I recover right ??", Ranveer asked intentionally, Abhyansh turned his head to him glaring at him...

"Um... bhai.... I can't", Isha said knowing Abhyansh would never allow her... his day won't start without torturing her and she is 100% right.

"I understand, but still I asked, actually I was missing you a lot, that's the reason I got drunk yesterday", Ranveer started his drama and Abhyansh sighed looking at how he is fooling his wife.

"What ??", Isha asked concerned and guilty...

"Yeah, and then I wanted to find out why you said that ?? You never use words like that (kill, dead) for yourself, and when you did, I know something is terribly wrong, I want to find out what it is, so I decided to drive here at that time, to know exactly what happened that day, on my way too, I kept thinking about that and didn't see the truck that's coming on the opposite side", Ranveer said the partial truth and Isha gasped...

"Bhayyu, nothing happened, leave all that, it's not important, I overreacted, forget all that, please don't suffer yourself more thinking about all that", She said holding her brother's hand... Tears slipped from her eyes imagining her brother's pain...

"No Ishu, I won't, I will get to know the truth by hook or crook, anyways you will go away, I have nothing to do, so will concentrate on finding it", Ranveer said and Abhyansh mentally appreciated his manipulative brother-in-law. Thinking about her brother's suffering, Isha decided to stay as she had to prevent her brother from finding the truth at any cost to save him from further miseries without knowing that he already know the truth.

"Bhayyu... I want to stay, but Maharaj", Isha whispered, though Abhyansh couldn't hear her, he could clearly make out what she is saying. 

"Oh, I already talked to him, and he agreed", Ranveer said loud enough for Abhaynsh to hear...

"Really ??", Isha asked and Ranveer nodded... She squealed and hugged her brother tightly, Ranveer smirked at Abhyansh rubbing her hair lovingly.

"Yeah you can stay here, I will too", Abhyansh said wiping the smirk off Ranveer's face, it's his time to smirk, giving a 'no-one-can-win-against-the-king' look...

Isha's smile too vanished and his smirk widened looking at the pale faces of Rajput siblings...

"J.. Ji Maharaj", Isha fumbled...

Abhyansh made calls to get his needed stuff shifted to the Rajput palace... Since it's Isha's home, he thought she would have her clothes here...

Isha kept settling her brother's things, and simultaneously scolding him for the untidiness, at the beginning, she felt awkward having Abhyansh in the same room, she couldn't be free and when Ranveer asked him to go and take rest in the guest chamber, Abhyansh gave a reply mentioning how Ranveer continuously disrupted his peace for more than a month using his home office as his personal bar room sometimes, bedroom sometimes and entertainment room sometimes and that shut him up...

Isha after continuous work and seeing her husband sitting in the far corner of the room busy with something on his phone, started talking...

"Bhai, 2-year old is less messy than you, and what is this  ?? Do you wear clothes without ironing them  ?? How many times did I tell you to... ", she went on scolding him while setting his things, ironing his clothes, and taking care of his every small need like she is his mother, not sister... That very moment, Abhyansh understood why Ranveer loves her so much, it's because she loves him more than that...

This was the first positive thought about his wife that crossed his mind apart from noticing how pretty and beautiful she is, but that didn't change his feelings for her, but at least he didn't hate himself for thinking positively about her, it's a fact and he realized it like the smart man he is... 

"Ishu, I'm elder than you, you shouldn't scold me like that...", Ranveer said huffing at his sister who behaves like his mother always...

"If you behave like an elder, I would behave like a younger... Tell me one thing, when was the last time you bought clothes ??", Isha asked sitting in front of him and looking at him sharply...

"Um... 6 months ago", he said looking here and there...

"oh! show me one shirt you bought 6 months ago", Isha questioned him again... she knew he is not so fond of clothes, she had to detail the designer every time her brother visits India as he wouldn't buy anything by himself, he always keeps working, even dressing up or wearing suits is a waste of time for him... so Isha takes care of his clothing...

"Ishuuuu....", Ranveer whined...

"All these shirts are the ones I got designed for you the last time you visited here... bhai... why are you like this ?? you are the CEO, you should wear at least some good clothes, if not those formal suits...", Isha said again... and Ranveer nodded... "I called the designer... he will show you some designs, just final them...", Isha added

"Ishu... please no... I can't do that, you select for me...", Ranveer whined...

"Bhai... Every time I am the one who does it, this time you are gonna do... I'm married now, leave me alone", Isha added dramatically... 
"Shut up, It's your lifelong duty, you should do it...", Ranveer said

"Aha ?? What will happen after me ?? Who will take care of you ??", Isha asked him with a smile... but that wiped out Ranveer's smile...

"This is the second time you are talking about death in a span of 24 hours, what the hell has gotten into you ?? Ishu, listen to me carefully, nothing is gonna happen to you, now get out of my sight, and don't come into this chamber till I call you again...", He said angrily...

"Bhayyu... I just said it like that", Isha said softly understanding her brother's emotions, she is the only one he has like he is the one in the name of family for her...

"You never did that before...", He questioned... she didn't say anything... "Get out Ishu", he said sighing deeply knowing his sister wouldn't say anything about her sufferings to him like always...

"Okay, I'm leaving, if you need anything, call me on my mobile phone...", Isha said getting off the bed and slowly walking to her husband... and all her commanding tone vanished with each step towards the beast.

"Maharaj, Do you need anything ??", She asked looking down...

"No", Abhyansh said still reading a document in his tone...

"Please let me know if you do, I'll be here the next minute", She said and he didn't nod, but she knew he heard her but wouldn't respond... She walked away calmly...

"Why do you behave so rudely with my sister ??", Ranveer asked as soon as Isha is out...

"That is how I'm, and that is what she deserves", Abhyansh said still deeply looking into his phone...

"Why are you saving my father ??", Ranveer asked directly, Abhyansh didn't answer, just smirked continuing his work... Ranveer took his phone and started playing candy crush, regretting sending his sister out... 

Here, Isha went to the main kitchen to stock the kitchen in Ranveer's chamber, as she knew her brother wouldn't allow her to cook in the main kitchen after knowing how his mother treats her...

She took out all the needed groceries and requested a servant to put it in Ranveer's chamber... She noticed there aren't some items in the kitchen required to prepare cake, she knows has a sweet tooth and she wanted to make some dessert for him, so she decided to do some shopping. But the palace felt like a jail again, as it was in the past, though she knew now no one can stop her from going out, she is still afraid, when she tried to sneak out from the palace once, her uncle got to know and he punished her badly, Ranveer went to a school trip that time, she was punished badly only in her brother's absence mostly...

She prep-talked to herself, gave some courage, and started walking out when she encountered her nightmare... Madan... her uncle's best man, dread-filled in her whole body when she met his lusty glares running on her body...

Madan got to know that Ranveer wasn't able to even get up, so he couldn't do anything to him and with that confidence, he came to Rajput palace, and on not finding his boss(Kailash), he is worried... He was searching for Kailash in all the hideouts in the palace which they created, when he spotted Isha going out, her beauty always made him go crazy on her, he wanted to ravish her, he lusted her since she was a child, he is a bl**dy pedophile, but Kailash always stopped him, he never wanted his brother's daughter to lose her dignity to their servant... Yes, he hated his brother and hated his child even more, but Isha is a royal and he wanted to torture her till death but never wanted to assault her se*ually, that's why he always stopped Madan, though he loved Madan more than his son, he didn't want anyone to hurt the royal women's dignity. He is a proud Rajput that way, he let Madan touch her the first time when he wanted her to stop his son who could spoil all his plans if he came to India to stop the wedding. He warned Madan before only, not to go too far, he just wanted to scare her to hell, he knew Isha would do anything when thrown into that situation, as she is afraid of Madan, Kailash observed how Isha shivered under Madan's lusty glares always... 

"Princess Isha...", Madan called with his sick voice and she shivered... 

He came near to her, and was about to touch her when she moved away...

"Don't touch me...", she said with disgust in her tone...

"Oho... Princess got a voice, Oh! how I would love to hear you moan my name with that voice...", He said again taking a step forward...

A servant came there and Madan stopped moving and ordered the servant to leave as he wanted to talk to princess Isha... The lady nodded and scurried off as she knew how cruel Madan is...

Madan held Isha's arm but she jerked off his hand...

"Oho! Princess Isha... Why that reluctance...", Madan said and was about to touch her again when she moved far...

"I'm not a princess anymore, I'm the queen, you better behave Madan, if you don't want to be killed by my husband...", Isha said expecting him to get afraid hearing the BEAST's name but he just started laughing...

"that man will kill me for you ?? He hates you so much that he might reward me with a palace and money sufficient for this lifetime, for torturing you, tainting you for life. You don't know the extent of his hatred for you princess...", Madan said and Isha's eyes welled up, her husband hates her, no doubt about it, but won't he save her even when it's about her dignity ?? Then, she remembered how he called her a sl*t, she sobbed more...

Madan is about to touch her again when her phone rang with her brother's name... She took the call, but before she could say a 'hello', it was snatched from her and thrown aside...

"Ishu, I'm sorry for asking you to get away, come here, your husband is so boring...", Ranveer whined but he didn't hear her voice, and he got worried... he could hear some voices, one is his sister's and one is that b**t**d's... his eyes widened in realization...

He tried to get up, but he couldn't while calling Abhyansh...

"Mr. Ranawat, please go down, Isha is in trouble... please go fast, I couldn't even get up", Ranveer screamed... 

But, Abhyansh didn't even get up or looked at him...

"I don't care for her... let her suffer", he said when he heard Ranveer shout again...

"That b**t**d will molest her if you don't go...", Ranveer shouted having no option, Abhyansh's head shot up and he got up in a milli second...

"Where ??", Abhyansh asked with his deadly calm tone, which scared Ranveer seeing the extreme emptiness in his eyes with a tinge of danger... He didn't even ask who was the man, he didn't want to know, the only thing he wants is to reach her as soon as possible and make sure she is fine... He can torture her to death but never se*ually assault her... Neither can he let anyone do that...

"I guess the main hall near the exit...", Ranveer said trying to get up...

Abhyansh stormed out... No one has the right to touch his wife, No way in the hell would he let them... She is his wife, Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's wife...

"Don't come near me Madan...", Isha said moving back...

"Oho! princess Isha, how far will you go ?? Who will save you from me, I always wanted to ravish you but your uncle always stopped me, but now no one is there to stop me, your lovable brother is bed-ridden, and your husband doesn't care even if you die, so I think I can have a little fun with you", Madan said

"Says who ??", Abhyansh's voice boomed in the hall... 

Madan's eyes widened seeing The Royal BEAST taking steps towards him with his fists tightened showing his extremely furious form... he quickly looked down and with each step, Abhyansh took towards them, Madan felt as if his death is approaching him... 

Isha, for the first time, felt relieved hearing her husband's voice... Madan moved back and started running away... He knew now, Abhyansh wouldn't leave him...

Abhyansh didn't chase him, he can't waste his energy on a coward and a b**t**d like him. He decided to get his hands on him and shoot him in the head, where the thought of even touching his wife arouse...

He looked at Isha's shivering form...

"Get the lunch ready", Abhyansh said and walked away...

She sat on the nearby sofa chairs, and sobbed, looking at her husband's casual reaction, she felt Madan's words to be true, doesn't he care if someone else touches his wife ?? Huh, right, if he could call his wife a sl*t, then he could definitely make her one... she thought bitterly... Oh! boy, she is so wrong this time... But, deep inside, she knew her husband isn't like that, and she is thankful for him, as he made his entry at the right time and saved her...

She decided to make his favorite items, well no one knows his favorite items, but thanks to her great observation skills, she knew which items he would eat more and she made out her own list of his favorite food from that...
