"Isha...", he called, and she stopped in the tracks waiting for him to say something... "Why aren't you wearing the clothes?? Didn't you like them??", He asked but she didn't say anything and walked to the washroom, got changed into half sleeves kurti...and to cover her burn scar, she is wearing hell lot of bangles.

Abhyansh who noticed it, walked toward her, took her hand in his, and made her sit on the dressing table cushion, and he settled on his knees in front of her, her eyes widened at his act, him sitting near her feet shocked her, she instantly got up but he held her palms and made her sit back.

He took her palm in his, and looked at her wrist which has a burnt scar of the watch dial, his eyes showed extreme pain and regret and for a second, Isha wanted to assure him that it's fine and not paining anymore... She has never seen him in so much distress before...But before that, her brain reminded her that she still hasn’t forgiven him for it and wouldn’t forgive in the near future, not at least until she knows the reason behind his behaviour.

She would have talked to him that very moment to assure him and free him from his guilt at least but what he did next made her numb... Abhyansh dropped soft kisses on her scar, she held his shoulder with her other hand and fisted his suit jacket tightly unable to handle the pleasure... his lips set fire on her skin...He dropped wet kisses around her wrist up till her elbow and she felt as if a current passed through her arm, every place on her skin that is worshipped by his lips left tingles...

"I'm sorry, I won't hurt you ever... I'm so sorry", he whispered kissing her wrist on the scar again, and his words brought her out of the magic he created on her skin...

She took away her hand from his grip and got up to leave the room as she is extremely shy to face him after the little stunt he pulled, but he held her hand and turned her to face him but she kept looking down... he made her wear the remaining bangles and kissed her wrist one last time before leaving her hand and she made a run out of there making him chuckle at his wife's shyness... he didn't know how he is going to control himself around her if this is the case just by kissing her wrist... he sighed looking down at his condition and went to the washroom to take another cold shower before getting ready for his work.

"Isha... Isha...", Ragini called, and Isha came out of her thoughts, and looking at Ragini near her desk, she got up with a jerk...

"Sorry Ragini, I didn't see you", Isha apologized and Ragini smirked...

"Come to my cabin Isha, want to talk to you", she said and left from there, Isha cursed her thoughts and the person in the thoughts as well before leaving to Ragini's cabin...

"Yes Ragini", Isha said closing the cabin door, she frowned seeing Reetu there...

"Now tell me, what is it lover girl?? What's happening with you these days, you are all smiling to yourself, blushing looking at nothing in particular... what made you like this or should I say, who made you like this??", Ragini asked with a teasing smirk making Isha's eyes widen and ears red with embarrassment...

"Come on, tell me, tell me... you didn't even introduce your husband to me... I regret till today that I missed the action sequence which involved the great king Abhyansh Singh Ranawat, why didn't you tell me that you personally know the king and queen...", Reetu asked, and Isha sighed...

"Oh, shut up Reetu, let's first know about her lover boy husband who is making our Isha blush so much", Ragini said with a teasing glint in her eyes...

Isha choked on hearing the word 'lover boy' used for her husband, that word sounded so funny when it is used for the BEAST, his image is nowhere near that of 'lover boy', she suddenly giggled, Ragini and Reetu looked at her in amusement...

"Ah...um... Ragini, I have to go, there is a lot of work...", Isha said trying to get up, but Ragini pushed her back to the chair...

"Oh madam, where do you think you are going?? Answer us?? We're seeing you from past one week, you are blushing getting busy in your thoughts, smiling like a fool looking at the walls, what's going on huh??", Ragini asked, and Isha sighed...

"Come on yaar Ishu... you have to tell us", Reetu whined

"Okay okay, I'll tell you, my relationship with my husband took a U-turn these days, um... ours is an arranged marriage and he didn't like me in the start, but now, he completely changed, he takes care of me very good, he even said 'Sorry' for his rude behaviour at the start of our marriage, you know, hearing Sorry from his mouth sounds so weird...", Isha said...

"Ahaa... oho....", Ragini and Reetu teased her and Isha blushed, she didn't want to tell them about the whole tortures but she could definitely share this much with her best friends, they are all she has in the name of friends and they are really trustworthy, but she didn't want to tell them about Abhyansh being her husband for some reason, she is afraid that their behaviour towards her would change...

"Why does it sound so weird to hear 'sorry' from him?? He rarely apologizes??", Reetu asked

"He never apologizes... people even fear looking at him in the eye, but he is completely different with me", words left Isha's mouth before she could control...

"Why do I feel that you are talking about our king, The Royal BEAST", Reetu said

"What??", Isha shouted... "by people I mean his family", Isha corrected her...

"Jeez relax Isha... I was just kidding, and I'm sure your husband must have developed this habit from his boss, the king", Reetu said

"Huh??", Isha gave a confused look

"Didn't you say your husband works for the king, and that's why you had to stay at the palace??", Reetu asked...

"Oh... ha...", Isha said and Ragini and Reetu looked at her weirdly... "I mean yes...", Isha said, and they laughed...

"You completely became crazy in your husband's love girl, you are whipped", Ragini said, and Isha blushed...

"Acha Isha, can we come to the palace since you live there?? I want to see the king and queen once, I heard the queen is extremely beautiful, is she more pretty than you?? Honestly, I have never seen a girl prettier than you... tell me will you take us... I want to see the king, I respect him a lot, and he is so handsome... I wanted to see him and his wife in person", Reetu said and Isha's eyes widened...

"Shut up, you and your obsession with his highness, huh", Ragini chided Reetu... "Don't you know, no one is allowed inside the palace except for the Royal family and the people who work there, even leaders, politicians, and ministers, including the CM and PM, should have permission from the king to enter the premises", Ragini said
