Page 48 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

He planned that day to teach a lesson to Kailash, he specifically wanted to do that in front of his son, because of whom he didn't kill him (Kailash) till now, but for the first time, his plan failed when the bullet hit his wife and he halted the shootout... His men were ordered to shoot Kailash in his arms, and legs paralyzing him for life...

"NO BHAI... I can't leave Maharaj, yeh galat hai(this is wrong)"

"Bhai, I can't betray Maharaj, he trusted me and sent me with you, we can't do this to him Bhai...", Isha sobbed...

Abhyansh kept hearing the recording in repeat mode, he couldn't believe she is saying that anyone in her place wouldgrab the first opportunity to run away from him, after all the tortures he put her through... Why?? Just because of the word she gave him that she would be his slave for life?? Is she really Amar Rajput's daughter?? And just remembering Amar Rajput, all his thoughts became bitter, she is his daughter, he could never forgive that man and for the very same reason, he will hate her always...

"ABHYANSH..."

The way she called his name with so many emotions surprised him, she still has emotions like care and worry for him?? How?? He is more worried about his changing feelings, he never thought of a person so much before, he wants to decode her, what is she and how can she be so loyal and so kind towards a BEAST like him?? And his worry for her is another thing that's making him think, how can he worry for a person, that too Amar Rajput's daughter?? Whatever may be the reason or his inner feelings, he is not going to show any of that to her or anyone else for that matter, He is a BEAST, and he will remain the same, he knew how she is, her condition, her health, he is the one who arranged blood for her, but wouldn't let anyone know...

He missed her food... She is a wonderful cook, and in these 6 months, he got used to her delicious food but as always, didn't express anything, he didn't want to change and he thought he wasn't changing, but the moment the bullet hit his wife, he realized how cracked up his walls are... and now he started filling the cracks before the walls collapse completely disrupting his entire system...

A week passed and now Isha is a bit strong, to make conversations, though she had to lie in the bed for most of the day... Like every day, Ranveer came inside with her breakfast...

He fed her and sent the soiled dishes with a servant and got up to leave asking her to rest when she held his palm...

"You can't escape the conversation anymore, bhai", She said

"Ishu...", Ranveer sighed...

She signalled him to sit and he did, understanding he couldn't avoid this discussion anymore...

"Why did you do it bhai?? You were ready to leave Maharaj to die?? How did you think I would come with you when Kaku sa is practically holding a gun at his head??", Isha asked

"And this is what I'm trying to understand as well Ishu, Why not?? Why couldn't you come with me without caring for that a**?? All he gave is pain Ishu, that man tortures you and you worry for him?? What is wrong with you??", Ranveer questioned...

"I don't know... but he is my husband bhai, I don't want to lie to you, despite all his deeds, I don't hate him, but I don't feel anything towards him either... Except for empathy and a little care every human deserves... I want to live with him, because I gave him my word Bhai", She said

"It's not just a little care Ishu, you freaking took a bullet, getting worried for him, it's not just a little care, it’s a lot more, which you are ignoring", Ranveer said and Isha shook her head, she is in denial and Ranveer got that...

"No bhai, I don't feel anything for Maharaj...", she said strongly and Ranveer nodded as he didn't find it right to stress her by making her realize her growing feelings for her husband...

"Ishu, I know you didn't like what I did that day but I'm not sorry bacha, I did what any brother would do... but yeah, the only thing that I regret is you got hurt because of that", Ranveer said

"Bhai... Please don't do this again, don't try to save me, this is what I want, in the past you had the option to save me, you could have stopped this marriage, but you didn't, now there is no use in trying", Isha said

"Ishu... please...", Ranveer said but she shook her head stubbornly...

"I'm not leaving Maharaj", she declared...

Ranveer understood that now, he had to talk to Abhyansh. Only he could help him, if he relieves Isha from being his slave and signed divorce papers, Isha would automatically get convinced, and his sister would be free from the BEAST's clutches forever, but only if he knew, the beast now would never let go of his wife, not after what he felt when she got shot... That one second made him realize; he couldn't be sane without her anymore...

Ranveer sighed deeply and left the place, leaving her in her husband's thoughts... His eyes held some magic and the ocean of emotions in his eyes twisted her heart. When she was shot, his eyes expressed so much concern that it was as if he was pained by her injury more than her... And she herself is surprised about how well she can read his eyes... She knew her brother wasn't lying when her husband didn't care about her or even wasn't willing to take her to the hospital, but she also knew that he was concerned for her, she still has to find out why he behaved such if he cared for her...

For Abhyansh, not seeing his wife was like hell, he didn't know he was addicted to her presence this much until the day she got shot... Just a few hours of not seeing her started havoc in his heart and now it's been 10 days and there is no sign of her, he had regular updates on her health, but he never heard her voice or saw her and that was hell frustrating to him apart from that one phone call. But, like the hell would he show that... The feelings he felt now, are supposed to be masked and he did it with ease, but it frustrated him, earlier he never felt any feelings to hide them in the first place but now, he had to put effort to do that which didn't go well with him.

Now, his main task is to get back his wife home, before he goes mad about the things he is feeling... He had to see her as soon as possible and he called her...

"Hello, Maharaj...", she took his call on the first ring... She just had a discussion with her brother, and he walked out leaving him in her husband's thoughts, from which she was brought out by the very same husband's phone call...

"Be here by evening...", He said and before she could say a word, he hung up...

She sighed looking at the phone, he ordered her to come there, but how will she?? She wasn't healed and her brother wouldn't send her, she sighed deeply, another fight with him to get him to drop her at in-laws'... She wanted to hate her husband for putting her through this situation but again, is she capable of doing it??

Here Abhyansh sighed in relief hearing her tone, Is he that addicted to her?? And that thought scared him, huh, one more emotion added to his list, fear?? What is she and how isshe capable of making him feel things?? Is it because she is associated with him, Is this because she is his wife and carries his name?? But his mother, brother, father, and grandmother are associated with him too, but they never made him feel like this...

He sighed deeply, thought about her voice with which she greeted him a few minutes back, and got back to his work... And just like magic, he got back his concentration... That very minute, he realized, his wife is his distraction as well as his medicine to concentrate. She is his saviour and his destroyer too. But he would try to save his BEAST form from her till he loses completely. He is determined to win, though his heart which recently found its voice screamed he would lose this battle.
