Page 30 of The Royal Beast & His Caged Princess

"Gather yourself Rajput, showing your vulnerable self to your rival is not something a powerful man should do", Abhyansh said looking at Ranveer's weak form...

"She...She never said that word, She loves her life, she wants to live every moment of it, She said I killed her, my Ishu is broken, I broke her...", Ranveer said, his eyes teary, a small tear rolled down, and Abhyansh Singh Ranawat is surprised to see his strongest rival vulnerable but didn't say a word, took a whiskey bottle and started pouring into a glass and started sipping the drink looking intently at the man in front of him. Ranveer suddenly took the alcohol bottle and drank the whole contents of it...

"I'll get to know the truth... I'll know the truth at any cost...", Ranveer said in a slurry tone after a while...

He called his most loyal servant in the Rajput Palace and asks him about the day when he actually had that talk with his sister, and he got to know that from the next day morning, Isha started crying in her room and she looked devastated, so he suspected that something must have happened during the dinner the previous night where Kailash ordered all the servants except for Madan to leave the dining hall.

When asked, the servant informed him that only his mother, his father, and Madan were there...

Ranveer hung up and cursed hard, as he knew none of the three would spill the truth... But he is determined to bring the truth... He called his mother, as it's very late, she didn't take the call the first time...

"Careful there Rajput, you are drunk", Abhyansh told him...

"I will know the truth, I will... I have to...", Ranveer slurred... and suddenly his mother took the call when he called again...

"Veer, Beta, where are you?? You again went to Ranawats??", Her mother's sleepy tone slowly vanished in his head as the alcohol is forcing him to close his eyes, but his sister's broken form made him open his eyes...

"Mother...", Ranveer slurred...

"You are drunk??", Sheela fumed...

"Listen, mother, shh... stay silent and answer my question", Ranveer slurred... Abhyansh couldn't hear Sheela's voice... He shook his head and started working...

"What do you want to know Ranveer??", Sheela asked expressing her anger, but Ranveer hardly cared

"What happened on that night at the dining table??", He asked directly and Sheela quickly understood what he was talking about, but she acted clueless...

"What are you talking about Veer?? Which night??", She asked, but she couldn't make a fool of Ranveer Rajput, he is drunk not a fool...

"Mother, the day Isha asked me not to come there or interfere...", He slurred...

"Nothing happened...", she tried to lie but the nervousness in her tone gave away that she was hiding something from him...

"Mother, don’t even try to hide anything, I already know the truth, but I want to know it from your mouth...", Ranveer lied to get the truth from her...

"Ranveer, don't believe that Isha, she always wanted to snatch you from us, that's why she lied to you, your father did nothing like that", Sheela, the stupidest of Rajputs said...

Ranveer got something to hold on to, so he continued his act...

"Mother... That is why I called you, I want to know the whole truth from you, I couldn't believe my father could do this, but why would Ishu lie?? Tell me the truth mother, if you lie to me,I'll leave for London, and would never come back, I will never see your face ever, you know I'm capable of doing it, I used to come to India only for Isha and you, but now since she is married and you are busy in hiding things from me, I have no reason to", Ranveer tried the emotional blackmail and she fell for it...

"I knew that bi**h would try to keep you away from us, don't believe her Ranveer... Where are you?? I want to see you beta", Sheela said

"Mother, tell me the truth, or it’s my word, I would never see your face, you very well know, I am a true Rajput, I would never go back on my word... and listen, if I get to know that you lied, then I will give away all the properties I inherited to charity and leave for London forever, along with your son, you will lose all the wealth as well...", Ranveer threatened

"Ranveer beta, your father didn't let Madan harass her?? He just threatened her that he would let Madan....", Sheela trailed, hearing her, he slowly became sober though still inebriated...

"He what mother??", Ranveer asked impatiently...

"He said let... Madan r*pe her...", Sheela said closing her eyes...

"What??", Ranveer shouted kicking the chair, Abhyansh who is working and still hearing the conversation looked at Ranveer hearing his furious tone...

Sheela understood that her son played her, and seeing his reaction, she understood he didn't know a thing...

"Mother, out with it now... THE TRUTH", Ranveer said in his most dangerous tone which he very rarely uses...

Sheela got afraid and told everything in detail as his son ordered... Ranveer threw his phone when she finished the whole incident, his drowsiness jumping out of the window... He was furious at himself, at Madan, at his father, now he understood his sister's broken form, how can he trust her words?? How can he be such a fool... He wanted to kill Madan with his bare hands...
