"Why Vikram?? You could have given your brother-in-law's number or maybe mother-in-law's number if you don't want them to know your contact number", Ranveer asked

"None in my family are common people, I had no choice but to give Vikram's number, also it's just one time call, they wanted me to work for them and all I had to do was reject their offer", Isha said "take your phone Vikram... I talked to them already, they won't bother you again", Isha told Vikram handing his phone...

"No problem, Isha...", Vikram said putting his phone in his pocket...

"I want to talk to them...", Ranveer asked extending his palm asking for Vikram's phone...

"You can't, I already deleted their contact, but what's the problem bhai?? Why do you want to talk to them??", Isha asked trying to hide her nervousness...

"Because you two seem too suspicious to believe, why did you run like that, what would happen if I saw the caller ID??", Ranveer asked

"Their offer was really good, I don't want you to know about it, I thought you would pressurize me to take up the job...", Isha answered though she knew her brother would never do that...

"Ishu... you have prepared answers for everything well, but you two won't be able to hide things forever... sooner or later, I'll get to know...", Ranveer said walking away...

Vikram and Isha sighed as they got saved for this time and Isha now thought to cool her husband, if her brother didn't believe her story, her husband wouldn't be believing it for sure... it's better to be honest with him, though she can't tell him the truth, she can definitely give an explanation for her act...

"Ishu... thank you and I'm sorry, you had to bear so much for me... I won't be careless next time, I don't know why is she calling me when she knew I am in India and Ranveer would be with me...", Vikram said

"Vikram, everything I did was for my brother, I don't want him to get affected, so you don't have to apologize to me or thank me... go to your chamber", Isha said and walked away, but both of them knew, she not only did this for her brother but also for Vikram...

She walked to their chamber in search of her husband but he is nowhere to be seen... she walked to the study but he is not there as well, she called his phone and heard the ringtone from a corner but everything is blocked there... she is sure her husband is or was there... she searched for a way to go but is surrounded by the walls, there are no doors to go in, but she is sure her husband is inside... she decided to give him some time before talking to him, so she turned to leave but she saw some blood on the floor and the drops of blood path continued to the wall and ended there... She is damn sure that it's her husband's blood, the fact that he had hurt himself to control his fury on her, broke her heart...

She ran out and asked Ramlal to call for Bhairav and Bhairav came to the study in minutes...

"There is a hidden passage to somewhere, please take me there, I know Rana sa is inside...", Isha said looking at the blood...

"Rani sa... I apologize, but please don't go there... Maharaj will be out soon, and you can see him then", Bhairav tried to convince the queen...

"Please, take me there, he is hurt, I have to be there... or else he'll hurt himself more...", Isha said but Bhairav stood there like a stone, she tried for a few minutes, but Bhairav didn't budge...

"BHAIRAV... it's your duty to follow my orders, and it's myORDER, take me to Rana sa, NOW", Isha screamed with authority shocking Bhairav, he has no right to disobey the queen's orders, also he didn't get any orders from the king to stop the queen, so he has no other option but to take her there...

"Ji Rani sa... kindly move aside, I have to open the door...", Bhairav said and Isha moved aside, Bhairav pushed the wall with all his power, Isha's eyes widened seeing the hidden door behind it... Bhairav opened the door and Isha followed him... seeing the path made with her husband's blood drops broke her heart, why is he so angry that he hurt himself so badly...

But she wouldn't understand a possessive BEAST's urge to kill Vikram because of which his wife had to disrespect him, more than that, his wife's concern for that man and their wordless conversation with their eyes has brought an animal out of him... he wanted to pull his wife to him and punish her with his lips brutally till she remembers who she belongs to, but he can't hurt her, so to suppress the urge, and his boiling blood, he decided to shed some of his blood to reduce his fury...

Isha followed Bhairav,after a certain distance, she found Abhyansh's phone and after that point, there are no blood drops, she kept walking taking his phone with her but it's like the way is never-ending...

"Is this the right way Bhairav??", Isha asked

"Yes, Rani sa", Bhairav answered

"What's this place that's so far from the main palace... ", Isha asked huffing and wiping her sweat and tears, as the sight of her husband's blood caused her so much distress and agony...

"This is the inside route to the forbidden palace", Bhairav said shocking Isha...

"F..Forbidden palace, the back palace where no one is allowed except for Rana sa??", Isha asked and Bhairav nodded

Isha heard these stories about the back palace from her mother-in-law and brother-in-law... but none told them why is that place forbidden...

"Rani sa... if you go straight from here... you will reach the palace entrance, I can only open the entrance for you but cannot enter the place...", Bhairav said and Isha nodded, though none entered, she wanted to do it for her husband, right now she has to see her husband and make sure he is fine, rest all are unimportant to her...

"Bhairav, do you think he would get mad seeing me there??", Isha asked suddenly getting afraid, the place itself scared her a lot, and thinking about how secretive her husband is about that place scared her more...

"Technically he would, but Maharaj always acted very strangely when it came to you Rani sa, he took some very unexpected decisions that the Maharaj I know would never take, so your question can be answered rightly by only him", Bhairav said and Isha got surprised, Bhairav never spoke that much and also him speaking about how much she matters to Abhyansh is very pleasant... he is the only one on earth who knew Abhyansh Singh Ranawat better than anyone else...

Isha nodded and they reached the palace entrance, seeing the massive and huge doors like that scared Isha more and made her reconsider her decision... Even the main palace doors are a little smaller compared to them... she wanted to run back, that's how much scared she is, but the sight of his blood in her head didn't let her take a step, she had to see him, that's all, she is determined... she nodded confidently at Bhairav and Bhairav opened the lock and pushed the doors with all his power, when the doors opened, Bhairav bowed down in front of Isha and left from there quickly... opening the doors must have already sent signals to the king, before he comes and blasts on him, he should escape, thought Bhairav and walked away whereas Isha mustered all the courage and took a step in...
