Page 130 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

Abhyansh and Isha made their way to the dining hall where they saw Anshi and Avyan already seated there. They had their dinner, and after which Avyan left for the hospital. Anshi helped Isha clear the table though Isha denied her, telling the servants would help her...

Abhyansh left to his home office in his chamber rather than his study in the far away wing as he wants to stay close to his wife and reach her as soon as she comes into their chamber, he is anticipating this night with her... to punish her for what she did, but she kept talking to Anshi. Honestly, he didn't want to bring Anshi to the main palace as no one is allowed there except for a very few people but his wife's orders made him do so.

After talking for sometime, Isha made Anshi comfortable in the guest room, and told her to intercom directly to her chamber if she needs anything, or go to the next chamber, as her brother will be staying there. Anshi is grateful for everything Isha did. She never behaved like a queen, but a friend. Anshi is surprised by Isha's behaviour and attitude, she then understood the royal men's obsession to destroy anyone that hurts her whether it's her husband, the king who tortured the two women so much for hurting his queen, she was just in the next room, she heard their screams and begging Abhyansh to spare them. Or her brother-in-law who despite being so soft, got so mad and sent her to CD despite her innocence. She even heard about Prince Ranveer Rajput and his ways of torturing people who tries to hurt his sister, there is a rumour that he didn't even spare his fatherwhen it came to his sister, Anshi didn't know whether they are just rumours or facts but nonetheless, she realized the royal men are very protective about the queen and her behaviour and attitude justified it to every bit.

Ranveer came back, and since he already had the dinner his sister sent to the hospital, he directly went to his chamber to freshen up and get some sleep. He was already detailed about what they did to Ashley and Natasha by Avyan and also what all the king planned for them in the near future. Isha informed him about Anshi staying in the next chamber to him, and asked him to keep an eye on her, or if she needed anything. Ranveer like a good brother agreed to his sister despite his tiredness. He messaged Ragini that he reached and after getting her 'Good Night' sleep took over his senses soon.

Isha realized her brother's fatigue, but she didn't have an option, her husband didn't allow her to sleep in Anshi's chamber for the night, as she thought to support her as she looked scared.

Avyan looked at his mother who is peacefully resting, before walking to the bed and laying on it. He smiled widely, his heart is at extreme peace which he never felt in years, the whole day, he kept cursing his ill fate for such a bad day, but he realized what fate has in store is always beautiful, it gives pleasant surprises that fills heart, the way his brother explained him and took him in his arms, while he sobbed like a child, warmed his heart. He loved his brother and getting his affection after years took him on cloud nine. He remembered his Bhabhi sa's proud smile when he brought Anshi home and apologized to her... and surprisingly not only his Bhabhi sa's proud smile, Anshi's kind smile, and the way she forgave him so easily gave peace to his heart. He reminded himself about the discussion they had at thedining table before his brother and sister-in-law made their way. 'She is getting married you idiot' he chided himself and shook his thoughts away, and soon sleep took over.

CHAPTER – 13

Isha walked to the bed after finishing her call with her brother asking him to check on Anshi. Abhyansh who was checking some documents in his tab instantly shut it seeing his wife getting on the bed shifting his whole concentration on her.

"I hope she is fine, she looked scared, you should have let me be with her for the night", she complained

"Then how would I punish you ??", he said huskily in her ear...

"I apologized, didn't I ?? Let it go Rana sa", Isha said

"Let it go ?? You can't imagine what I went through till I saw you fineIsha...", Abhyansh said, furious at her act...

"I don't have to imagine Abhyansh, I know how it feels, that is what I go through every time you get angry, I always live in fear that you would hurt yourself...", Isha said wiping her tearful eyes refusing to cry... Abhyansh understood her pain, pulled her into his arms rubbing her arms...

"I'm sorry, but I have changed, haven't I ?? I barely hurt myself these days", he said and she looked at him incredulously

"Now, you started lying too ??", she asked in disbelief, turning his palm...

"I don't lieIsha", he said strongly

"Then what is this Rana sa ??", she asked turning his palm, where she observed a fresh cut, which was of a few days before... he should have known he couldn't hide his injuries from his wife...

"This is the reason, I used the keyword 'barely' ", he said, he wouldn't lie to her ever... she glared at him at his explanation...

"Don't turn this on me, we are talking about you now", he said and she narrowed her eyes at him...

"Isn't that what you do always??", she asked, God! his wife is in full form today, he groaned...

"Your argument isn't gonna save you today, Isha, how did you even think of hurting yourself ??", he asked calmly but his tone held a warning that still scared her and it will keep continuing... she knew how much her husband may soften for her, his basic traits wouldn't change, neither did she want them to change...

She cupped his face and stared into his mesmerizing eyes, hiding the love and concern for her under his fury... she softly caressed his skin with her thumbs pressing a deep kiss on his lips...

"I am so sorry, I worried you so much... I wouldn't ever try to harm myself again... and now, I don't think it will be necessary,since you became Abhyansh for me...", she said, the fury in his eyes is replaced by deep admiration and love for his wife...

"I love you... I love you so much...", he said placing his lips on hers, kissing her so softly, this was the smoothest and softest kiss they ever had, he always loved claiming her lips passionately but now he wants to kiss her softly, pouring his love into it, only love and not lust.

They way he smooched her lips softly, while caressing her hair and temples with his large palm teared her up with emotions...

"I love you Rana sa... a lot...pPlease don't let me leave you again... it's tough for me to stay without you... I want to have a blissful married life, I want to nurture this family along with you, have children with you, lead a happy life with you, am I wishing for too much ??", she asked genuinely thinking if she was being too greedy...

All this time of being away from her husband, she kept questioning herself if she was being greedy, instead of being thankful for what she got ?? She is extremely grateful for having her husband in her life, no doubt about it, but she wanted to unveil all the secrets that were clouding their happy marriage. She can see her husband happy in her presence, but there are many things, especially emotions burdening him, she wants to take it all off, she wants him to be happy, smile wholeheartedly, and especially stop weighing all the burdens alone, she is his better half, he needs to share his pain with her, only then she could lead a happily married life with him. She wants him to rely on her like he wants her to rely on him at least emotionally, she knew her husband's biggest pains and problems are emotional and she wants him to share them with her.

"No... you are not... don't ever think so, these are the basic things anyone wishes for. No one can love someone so much like you love me, after what I have put you through... I never told you this till now, let me tell you now, you are the hope I have lost long ago, I never imagined I would feel emotions, but now I do... trust me when I say this, I also wish the same, which you do...", he said kissing her forehead... she hugged him tightly, having him close felt so good. "I will try to give everything you wish for Rani sa... who would I do things for, if not for you Hm ??", he said, she broke the hug and nodded at him. He pulled her into his lap nuzzling her neck...

"Rana sa... let me sleep, I.. I am tired", she fake yawned, knowing her husband is full on mood to punish her...
