Page 49 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

Here, Isha requested Ranveer who is highly reluctant to send her to Ranawat palace, but she kept persisting him, and she is getting weaker with each passing second arguing with him, and he can't see her health deteriorating, so he accepted but said he would stay with her there, she had no option but to agree to him...

In the evening, both brother-sister reached Ranawat's palace, Abhyansh who got to know this from his men, walked down the royal staircase as if he is coming there casually surprising his mother and brother who are sitting in the hall and talking. They never saw Abhyansh these days except for when he decides to go to his office or his den...

Well, to den, he wanted to shoot the man whose bullet hit his wife but he didn't, how could he?? He was the one that ordered them to shoot Kailash, and they were just following his orders, and it was his wife who came in between, he was going to kill an innocent soul, that too his man, for obeying his words, justfor his wife?? And that came as a shocker to Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, one more emotion, shock, he felt because of her... Huh, he didn't kill but fired that man, as he couldn't have him on his team, now, every second that man would remind him of his wife's pain...

Ranveer held Isha's hands and helped her inside, he offered to carry her but she refused him, she took slow steps, and that irritated Abhyansh who didn't get to see her yet, as she is still walking in the long hallway...

"Take the wheelchair out", He ordered and the servants pulled the wheelchair from the emergency room they had, and strolled it toward the entrance, they didn't know why, but they did as their king ordered, his orders were never questioned, no one has the audacity to... Amruta and Avyan are confused but soon understood that Isha is coming home... Amruta quickly ran to the kitchen asking Avyan to stop her at the entrance only...

Seeing the wheelchair, Ranveer sighed as he couldn't see his sister struggling, Ranveer made Isha sit on it before wheeling her inside...

"Who sent it?? No one knows I'm coming here except for...", she trailed

"Maharaj asked us to...", the servants said looking at their feet and she nodded in understanding

"Please wait here, ma is bringing the Aarti thali (plate)", Avyan said with a smile, he is glad to see his sister-in-law fine... "How are you feeling??", He asked

"I am fine now, little weakness is still there, except for that, I'm good", She said with a smile...

"Good?? Say that in front of your doctor and he would show you the reality by telling you what all the complications you have, you are anaemic, you are weak, your BP isn't fine, you are low at zinc, you need to take vitamins for at least a year and...", Ranveer went on before he got interrupted by his sister rudely...

"And you need a mouth tape", she said, and Avyan chuckled...

"Have you ever heard of gratefulness?? I was having sleepless nights, taking care of you for the past 10 days and you taunt me like this??", he asked

"Well, whatever I learned is from you since you are my elder brother, I took care of you for more than a month after your accident, leave about a small thank you, what did you do in return??", Isha said glaring at her brother reminding him of how he planned to leave for London with her... it would be a blackspot in her life if he got successful at that... She is a Rajput, and she would stand by her word till her last breath... Ranveer sighed, he knew his sister would never forgive him for the stunt he pulled...

"I'm not sorry Ishu...", Ranveer said, and Isha glared at him... Avyan is looking at them getting confused but didn't ask them as it looked like something very personal...

"Oh! I can make you feel sorry Rajput, Trust me", Abhyansh's voice boomed in the hall, he couldn't wait in the hall anymore, he wanted to see his wife but he is careful to mask his emotions very well, he waited for her to look at his face, into his eyes like that day, but she didn't, and he missed her eyes, from that day,he craved looking into her eyes, most beautiful eyes which held care and worry for him despite his acts... the most kind eyes he ever saw...

He observed her glaring at her brother, and also heard what she told him, he understood she is angry with her brother for pulling that stunt and didn't forgive him till now, her extremely high morals made him proud, that she is his wife, huh, one more emotion, Pride, he felt pride for something that wasn't because of his achievement, for the first time...

Isha tried to get up in Abhyansh's respect but couldn't, she needed someone's help to get up after she sits due to weakness, and blood loss, she felt numbness in her lower body parts easily...

"Bhai... help me", She asked her brother who glared at her...

"You don't have to stand up in respect of king Ishu, after all, the king is very kind, and knows you can't do that, he would exempt you, especially when you got shot because of him in the first place", Ranveer said, his tone filled with sarcasm, looking Abhyansh in the eye with anger, but Abhyansh didn't enjoy it like every other time, as now the only eyes he wanted to look into are those hazel eyes which belonged to his wife...

"Bhai...", Isha reprimanded still trying to stand up and winced in pain suddenly... Abhyansh looked at her with worry but within a millisecond he masked it with his usual cold face... Damn these feelings! he cursed inward...

"Ishu... Damn your stubbornness...", Ranveer cursed before helping her as she still didn't stop her trials to get up from her wheelchair...

Abhyansh wanted to say it was okay, but he didn't want to make it obvious that now he cares for her, he himself is very much shocked by the changes, how did it change in just a single moment?? He didn't get concerned for her before that bullet pierced her body, or to be precise before her eyes met his, and his name left her mouth... or the concern was there but the beast in him overpowered it then ?

He might be a king, and a very successful businessman, but he is low on understanding emotions, staying emotionless for more than 15 years definitely made him low on emotional intelligence. His wife was the only woman or to say only human who pronounced his name after his mother, he thought maybe that was the reason why he was feeling things, he didn't have any other reason for how would all his feelings take a 360-degree turn with just that, so he forced the female executive of his company, a young lady to pronounce his name, the lady was terrified, but since he commanded, she did, and he didn't like it at all, he hated it, the lady was extremely beautiful, had a sweet tone, yet his name from her mouth didn't affect him, in fact it sounded terrible but why his wife?? He even asked the lady to look into his eye, which terrified her, and she scurried away. There is a strong rumour that looking into Abhyansh Singh Ranawat's eye marks the last day of your life and many believe it wasn't just rumour. Only the Rajput siblings could achieve the feat till now.

Ranveer helped his sister, and she stood up, bowing her head to the king and greeting him, he just nodded and walked away... Now that he saw his wife, he could go and work in peace.

Amruta came and did the Aarti of Isha and Ranveer wheeled his sister to the king's chamber. Despite his hatred for Abhyansh orRanawat palace, he should say, this man has incredible taste, and the interiors of his chamber are exquisite...

"Bhai, please arrange the bedsheet on the floor, and help me lay down, I couldn't stand any longer...", Isha said tiredly...

"Floor?? You are shot by a bullet, not by a toy arrow, you do realize that, don't you??", Ranveer said glaring at her...

"Bhai... I will be fine", She said, Ranveer forcefully made her sit on the bed, but she quickly got up causing her ache to shoot up, and Ranveer shouted at her... Hearing his screams, Abhyansh came inside the room, he rarely came into that room, he just came there twice after marriage, this being the third time...

"Rajput, I don't like someone else raising tone in my place, hold that tone, or else you will lose it forever", Abhyansh threatened...
