Page 123 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Look who is saying", Avyan responded defending his brother.

Ranveer moved his Queen with a crybaby face... Isha returned with her husband's coffee and was shocked to see the tables turn, her brother was on the losing side now...

"What the hell happened here ? Bhai... What's this...", Isha asked

"Your husband cheated...", Ranveer complained

"Really ?", Abhyansh asked with a smirk...

Ranveer detailed what Abhyansh did to him and Isha glared at her husband who ignored her looks and resumed playing. Ranveer was on the losing side, and in just two moves, Abhyansh can checkmate him if he played correctly. They continued and Abhyansh was about to make a move, the word 'Checkmate' was on the tip of his tongue when Ranveer opened his mouth.

"Whatever the bet was, the winning team would get it from the losing team", Ranveer said and Abhyansh glared at him when he mentioned the 'team'...

"What bet ?", Isha asked with a frown...

"It's just us, why are you involving them in this ?", Abhyansh asked glaring at his overly smart brother-in-law. Abhyansh would never want his wife to be his slave.

"That's what the team is for, Ranawat", Ranveer said

"I agree... Avyan and I will have to get a share in the winning prize", Isha was adamant and Abhyansh sighed... Ranveer thought Abhyansh would dismiss the bet since he would never want Isha to become a slave to him again... Those memories torment him enough and Ranveer took advantage of the same.Ranveer sighed in relief as even if he lost, he wouldn't have to become Abhyansh's slave but what his brother-in-law did shocked him, he changed the course of his game and made a losing move shocking everyone...

"Bhai sa...", Avyan whispered in shock...

Ranveer smiled at his brother-in-law's crazy love for his sister, the man who never lost now lost the game willingly just for his wife.

"Checkmate", Ranveer said making his move.

Isha and Avyan were confused about what happened there...

"Exclude Avyan from the bet", Abhyansh said protectively and Ranveer nodded. Abhyansh would have lost for his wife, but he would never let his brother bow down just because he decided to lose.

"What's the bet all about ? Will anyone tell us ?", Isha asked and Avyan nodded looking at his brother and Ranveer for answers...

Abhyansh looked at Ranveer asking him to say, as his wife would kill him if he said something, he lost for her, so it was Ranveer's turn to take the burn now...

"The winner would get the loser as his slave for a week", Ranveer said trying hard to be brave but inside he was afraid, his sister would kill him... "And since your husband lost, he is your slave for the next whole week... Well, I exclude myself from this", Ranveer said, as he knew Abhyansh willingly lost for his wife, so Ranveer too kept his honor by backing out from the agreement...

"Are you guys out of your mind ? Who would bet on such things ? God, I don't want to be among you people, you are sick", Isha yelled and left from there...

"Slow down... Rani sa...", Abhyansh rushed to her and held her forearm but she jerked his hand...

"Don't touch me... I'm more upset with you... Why did you do so ? It's just a game, you guys don't know how to enjoy a game... ", Isha said and turned to her brother... "It's not necessary to play mind games always, you could have just enjoyed the game and had fun but no ? You guys needed revenge huh ?", she spat...

"Yes so ? Am I wrong ?", Ranveer snapped at her

"Rajput...", Abhyansh didn't like the tone he used on his wife...

"You are my sister's slave for the next week, you can't command Ranawat", Ranveer said, and Isha and Avyan cupped their mouths in shock... Ranveer's courage shocked them, if they were him, they wouldn't dare to say that to the beast on his face. Isha herself wouldn't dare to say that to her husband ever.

"I am my wife's slave, not yours... Next time you talk to me in that tone, I'll cut your tongue off", Abhyansh warned coldly, Ranveer shuddered at the intensity while Avyan and Isha stood shocked at how Abhyansh accepted openly that he was her slave... But Isha due to her past experiences got aversive of that word.

"Okay... That's enough nonsense for today... Everyone, get back to their chambers", she said and Avyan bowed and quickly left from there noticing Isha's mood, Ranveer too left from there as if he didn't escape now, his sister would lecture him on the stupid bet they made, but according to him, it was a fantastic bet.

Abhyansh too nodded and was about to go when she frowned. He actually started obliging her like a slave... Who would put some sense into her 0% emotionally intelligent husband ?

"Seriously! Why are you so dumb ?", Isha yelled at her husband...

"Now what did I do ?", he asked cluelessly... He was just obliging the bet that was placed, and he became her slave as per her brother's demand, he thought she would want that as she isupset to date about how he made her brother kneel, he thought this would act as reinstating Ranveer's respect as well as hers. Nothing would replace the pain she went through that time but if he could do even a percent of redemption for his sins, he would do it without a second thought.
