Page 42 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

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

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

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

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

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

"What happened??", Ranveer asked

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She cried dropping to her knees...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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