Page 11 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

She observed him eating like a robot, in fact, everyone ate without a word of compliment, but Isha didn't feel bad, she is used to this kind of treatment, only her brother complimented her food till date... He always said she is a wonderful cook, and he would eat her food even if she mixes poison in it... She shook her head warning herself not to think about her brother anymore, the moment he gave up on her, Isha too gave up on him, she decided she would never expect anything from him... but her heart refused to obey her decisions... She loved her brother more than anything in the world, he is the only family she ever had and she can never hate him...

Isha observed her brother-in-law taking 3rd serving of ghevar she made, and she smiled at him affectionately remembering how her brother used to eat the same way when she cooked...

Seeing her looking at him, Avyan asked the servant to stop serving and started eating his food silently... Isha felt bad, so she went to him and served him more surprising everyone, Amruta smiled at her lovingly while others continued eating... Avyan wanted to thank her and also tell her the food is very delicious but the hatred he held for her didn't let him...

Isha went back to her place that is beside her husband, seeing the almost empty plate of her husband, she refilled it immediately, in her hurry she forgot to see the indication whether he wanted or not, Amruta noticed this and got hell scared seeing her daughter-in-law's blunder, but everyone is left shocked when Abhyansh quietly had all of it and left from there...

Amruta smiled with tears in her eyes as this is the first time her son had had food contently... She must say, her daughter-in-law is a wonderful cook, every item she prepared is so delicious that no one could say 'No' to her food and that included the Royal BEAST as well...

Soon everyone is done with breakfast and left from there, and that's when Isha realized that she didn't have money to travel to the city and reach her office... She is never allowed to go out or buy anything for her, even the sanitary napkins given to her were limited, that too she has to beg for them, and also serve her aunt for a whole week like a proper slave after she is done with her periods every month...

She can't ask her mother-in-law for money as that would be degrading her husband, also she can't tell her that she was ill-treated by her uncle-aunt... She walked fast to catch her husband's steps; she saw him going to the other staircase which leads to his office... She didn't know if she could follow him or not, but she didn't have the courage to call him... He entered his office, he knew she is following him, but he intentionally didn't react as he doesn't want to put up a show in front of the servants, the incident at the dining table was enough, he didn't want to do it, but he didn't trust her at all, that woman can mix poison in his food very easily, she has all the reasons to and above all that, she is Amar Rajput's daughter, her blood can't be trusted according to Abhyansh Singh Ranawat...

He entered his study, purposely didn't lock as he knew she would come inside... When she entered, he turned towards her making her nervous...

"I.... I...", Isha fumbled, Abhyansh hated to wait, he wanted to slap the woman in front of him but there is something in her face that didn't let him get violent with her despite the hatred he has for her...

Isha closed her eyes to gain the courage to ask him for money... After the morning insult, she couldn't ask him for money killing her self-respect, but she didn't have another option...

"I want some money", she said it... and she would have died if she saw the disgusting look he gave her, but due to fear, she looked down...

"I know you are a gold-digging b**ch, but thought you would wait for a few days before displaying your real face", Abhyanshthrew words at her face which made tears to her eyes but she held up...

"I... I will return it after I get my salary, I want to travel to the city to reach my office", she finished gulping her tears...

Abhyansh didn't believe her, he didn't know she was caged in for her whole life, and no money was given to her, according to him, she has all the Rajput's properties under her name, still, she wants his money... But he didn't want to argue with her, he hated her presence, so opened the drawer, took a bundle of notes and threw them at her face... The bundle of money hit her face and fell down... That hurt her more than his words... After that, no matter what, she can't take that money... no she can't...

She took the bundle and slowly walked to the table where he is standing on its other side... Her tears fell on the bundle... she put the bundle of notes on his table and left from there surprising him...

She went to her room, took the clothes she designed herself and changed into them... She was never offered any new clothes, so whenever her clothes stopped fitting her, she used to take some cloth pieces from the royal designer who comes to design clothes for her aunt and uncle... Till Ranveer was there, he used to buy clothes for her but after her brother moved to London, her situation worsened...

Isha wore a olive green, the fabric is smooth and glossy with a silk material contributing to the luxurious appearance of the outfit. The dress features intricate embroidery along the neckline, front panel, and cuffs.

After changing, she collected her phone, bag and went downstairs...Amruta looked at her with surprise...

"You are going to work in these clothes??", Amruta asked, and Isha nodded with a confusion etched face... She didn't understand what was wrong with them... Looking at Isha's clueless face, Amruta thought it was okay to wear such heavy clothes to work so she didn't say anything...

"Okay, come and have your breakfast", Amruta said, and Isha nodded, she quickly ate food and decided to ask her mother-in-law for help...

"Ma, I don't know how to reach my office from here, could you please help me??", Isha asked...

"Oh! I totally forgot you must be knowing the way from the Rajput palace but not from here, right?? Don't worry, I'll ask Avyan to drop you off for today", Amruta said, and Isha couldn't thank her enough, she decided to convince her boss to give her salary in advance so she could travel from the next day...

After a while, Avyan came there... Amruta called him, and he walked towards them...

"Yes ma", Avyan asked ignoring Isha's presence...

"Avyan, drop your bhabhi at work today, she doesn't know how to go, please do this beta", Amruta said softly to her son who almost obeys her every word...

"Ma, I can't, I have work and need to reach the office on time, otherwise, bhai sa won't forgive me", Avyan said in order toavoid any kind of interaction with the woman who married his brother and who he hates to the core...

"Please Avyan, drop her for me, how will she go??", Amruta tried convincing him...

"No ma, bhai sa won't like it if I reach late, I can't take that risk...", Avyan said, they can't even ask any driver as all the drivers obey only if they have orders from Abhyansh...

Amruta kept insisting, and Isha felt bad for her brother-in-law, she didn't want him to suffer because of her... So, she told her mother-in-law that she would manage, not knowing her brother-in-law is just making up an excuse to avoid helping her...

Avyan left from there, followed by Isha, she has no idea how she would reach her office which is in the city... She doesn't have a smartphone to see google maps, the phone her brother bought for her when he last visited India was snatched by her uncle as Ranveer taught her how she could transact money online and he was afraid that Isha would access her account with it and he can't control her anymore...
