Page 52 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

"Leave that, where are you going at this time getting ready like that", She said, a frown etching her face. He smirked at her jealousy...

"To the den", he said and her frown deepened...

"To the den ? like that ?", she asked, he seemed to be in a very good mood and that even surprised her, usually he would be in a very bad mood while going to the den.

"Yes, Am I smelling nice ?", he asked leaning towards her...

"Rana sa... what's going on ?", she asked with irritation... He looked very good and she somewhere didn't like seeing him going away from her looking like that.

Everyone knew him as the BEAST but only she knew how he felt before going to the den. He is not in favor of killing people, his situation forced him to become like that and now it has become an innate trait of his.

"I'm in a great mood... Don't wait for me, I'll see you tomorrow", he said and was about to leave but she held his collar and pulled him closer...

"Enough of teasing me, tell me the truth", she said and he smiled...

"I'm not teasing you bacha... I'm genuinely happy today, and if it's jealousy that's making you mad, then don't... No woman has the courage to look at me like you do", he said and she smiled...

"I know... Okay go, but try to come sooner...", she said and he nodded kissing her forehead...

"Hm... sleep now...", he said

"It's hard to sleep without you...", she whined

"Hm... Come...", he said settling beside her opening his arms... She smiled widely and moved into his arms cuddling him, he slowly ruffled her hair and she fell asleep soon, he made her lie comfortably on the bed, covered her with a duvet.

"Sorry my jaan, I'm leaving you to sleep alone tonight, won't repeat it again", he said placing one last forehead kiss before leaving from there.

The thought of torturing Kailash and Sheela Rajput brought a kind of pleasure to him... He could never forget the pain they gave his wife. He knew he still was unaware of many things.

He entered the den and his men got the elder Rajput couple ready for him.

(Ignore from here if you are uncomfortable as there is a bit more cruelty and violence shown)

"Let's start eh ? Since today will be the first session, let's keep it light, I don't know why people call me heartless, I'm thoughtful enough to tell you the reason before punishing you...", Abhyansh said, Sheela Rajput was sobbing with fear while Kailash Rajput tried to put on a brave front but his profuse sweating gave away his fear. "Bhairav...", Abhyansh called him and he came in with his expert men skilled with different abilities at torturing people, some of them were ex-police, military, Navy, and airforce people. Bhairav asked them to wait in the outer den as Abhyansh doesn't want them to know what all happened to Isha, it was very personal to her and he wanted to keep it that way. So only Bhairav came in first, where Abhyansh is sitting in his throne chair royally in front of the tied Rajput couple.

"It was the first day after Rani sa's parents' passing away and you, the cruel bas**rd uncle of her announced that she won't be continuing with her studies, locked her in a room when she tried to protest, and when your mother Saanghvi Devi tried to protect her, you refused and shouted at the older woman frightening Rani sa", Bhairav read from the Diary Abhyansh has gottenprepared... "And you Sheela Rajput, you failed to show the basic empathy towards Rani sa, instead behaved cruelly to her when she came to you that day in a hope that you would protect her from your husband", Bhairav read.

When Bhairav finished reading it, Kailash and Sheela breathed a sigh expecting a lighter punishment since their crimes were not big compared to what they had done to Isha in the later days. But what they didn't know was that Abhyansh made a note of every little thing they made his wife go through and he vowed to avenge every single tear of hers. Not just from the Rajput couple, but from everyone who had hurt her, including himself.

Abhyansh signed Bhairav to call them in, in the next minute, the expert and well-trained men and women made their way in.

"Show them what helplessness is... first start with the lady, make her cry till there are no more tears left in her, but her sufferings shouldn't end", Abhyansh said, two men came forward and suddenly hit Kailash Rajput on his face that startled Sheela... She started sobbing heavily seeing her husband's condition.

A man held Kailash Rajput from behind, tightened his hold on his chest and that made it very difficult for him to breathe, his eyes rolled back, his limbs moving frantically struggling for breaths...

Sheela started begging Abhyansh to leave her husband, and after some time when he understood that Kailash couldn't take it anymore, he signaled his man to leave him and he did.

Sheela sighed in relief but it was momentary as two women held her hair and forced her face up, tied her arms and legs and hung a glass of water just above her mouth, she was feeling extremely thirsty and with all the crying she did now, it only intensified, she tried reaching the glass but couldn't, her every attempt hurting her tied limbs but nothing mattered to her except for the glass of water... The helplessness Sheela felt satisfied the BEAST. His wife might have felt the same when she was deprived of basic things.

Sheela stopped her attempts when she suddenly heard her husband's scream... She turned and a shilling scream left her throat looking at him, particularly at his right thumb where his nail was pricked and it's filled with blood. Soon he lost 5 of his nails making Kailsh scream in extreme pain and Sheela with fear and pain... Her throat completely dried with all the sobbing she did, and this continued for the next few hours, when she was on the brink of losing consciousness, Abhyansh signaled his staff to give her some water. She had it and soon she was freed from the ropes but there was no energy left in her to even get up, she tried to, and fell on the floor with her limbs going numb with pain. Kailash Rajput was also freed but he couldn't dare to look at his right hand which was now filled with blood.

"Please at least ask someone to clean the blood and bandage it...", Kailash said

"Oh! Please ? You learnt manners in just one day I see...", Abhyansh said with a smirk...

"Please... bandage...", Kailash asked, Abhyansh looked at Bhairav and signaled him.

"Don't bother about it, your blood will do the job by itself in some hours", Bhairav said,
