Page 143 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"Rana sa...", she said hesitantly... he walked towards her and made her face him...

"I don't want any barriers between us after last night... you have no idea how long I waited for us to share this intimacy... and when we finally crossed that stage, I don't want any kind of distance between us...", he said taking her palm and placing open-mouth kisses on it... "if you are really uncomfortable, I'llleave, but if you are just shy, then try to overcome it", he said and she didn't respond...

He sighed and walked to collect his clothes and walk out, when she started taking off her clothes, to change. Abhyansh slammed her to the closet making sure not to hurt her, holding her arms above her head, before taking her lips in for a passionate kiss to which she instantly reciprocated. After a while, both of them got ready and came out of the closet.

Isha wore a sky blue colored full-sleeved suit, her supernet fabric dupatta adorned with silver border making her outfit stand out.

As he promised her the previous day, he took care of her hair while she helped him braid it... Isha quickly cooked lunch, and packed for herself, her mother-in-law, her husband, and Avyan before meeting her husband in the hallway. Abhyansh dropped her at the hospital and went to his office. Isha handed Avyan's lunch and he asked if she is fine, as he didn't see her in the morning, to which she nodded. Avyan left from there, while she fed her mother-in-law, and later she had her lunch. Amruta shared how happy she was for what Abhyansh did the previous day, Isha is just happy to see her 'Ma' happy, Isha told her about the gift Abhyansh gave her for the 'Karwa Chauth', and Amruta blessed them with a life full of happiness and togetherness, the glow on Isha's face is very much noticeable. Amruta wished for the happiness to stay in her daughter-in-law's and son's life forever.

Days passed in a jiffy, and with each passing day, Abhyansh and Isha came closer if it's possible... Amruta is discharged and Isha is taking care of her very well, she resumed her work, as there are many people to take care of Amruta at home. The doctor called Isha regarding the recent reports of Amruta, he offered to getsomeone drop at the palace but Isha said she and her brother-in-law would come and pick them up, and talk to him as well regarding the reports.

Isha called Avyan and both of them started to the hospital...

"Bhabhi sa... you could have gone separately... you don't understand, I'm scared for my car", Avyan whined for the nth time...

"Avyan... we went together last time too, nothing happened right ??", she said reminding him of the day when Amruta got admitted in the hospital, Avyan came to pick her up from the boutique.

"Bhabhi sa, maybe Bhairav didn't know about it, as he was at the outskirts palace at the ministers meeting then, but today...", Avyan trailed

"Nothing will happen Avyan... I promised you, didn't I ?? Relax... your brother isn't that cruel neither is Bhairav... that time your bhai sa just said it like that, he didn't mean it", Isha said, but Avyan knew he meant it at that time, and Bhairav would do anything to fulfil the king's orders but he believed in his Bhabhi sa...

Both of them collected the reports, and after talking to the doctor about it, they started their journey to the palace, as they are very happy to hear the doctor. Amruta is recovering well and her physiotherapy is going well too. Isha and Avyan wanted to tell this news to Amruta, so went to the palace instead of going back to the office.

Isha jumped in as soon as they reached to give this news to her mother-in-law, while Avyan went to park his car, shaking his head at his Bhabhi sa's childishness. He pulled the brakes when he saw Bhairav standing in front of his car blocking the way to get to the basement...

Sweat beads formed on Avyan's forehead... he immediately dialled Isha...

"Yes Avyan...", Isha said

"Bhabhi sa, come out ASAP, Bhairav is here, I'm afraid", Avyan said

"Please get down Yuvraj", Bhairav said in his neutral tone...

Isha rushed outside to the driveway hearing the tone...

She saw Avyan standing aside while Bhairav's men poured oil on Avyan's car... Isha ran to them...

"Bhairav... what is going on here ?? Please stop it", she pleaded

"I said stop it right away", Isha said getting shocked at the extent of madness Bhairav is displaying

"Maafi chahte hai Hukum (Please forgive me Your highness) but it's the king's order and I cannot defy follow his orders", Bhairav said

"Bhairav, maybe we can wait till bhai sa comes", Avyan tried one last time, though he knew how things work here...

"Yuvraj... you know I can't, Maharaj's orders clearly state that I should do it immediately", Bhairav said

"Bhairav, it's my order... stop right away", Isha screamed

"Rani sa... I beg you not to make it more difficult for me", Bhairav said and signed his men to set the car on fire which they did...

A small tear left Avyan's eye, but he controlled himself looking at the broken look on his Bhabhi sa's face, he realized she is not just hurt for him, but also something more... she could see her promise to him burning into ashes in front of her...

"Bhabhi sa... it's okay... don't think much", Avyan said holding her by the shoulders, she didn't say a word but kept staring at the burning car in front of her eyes...

Bhairav felt very bad looking at their queen with the shattered look on her face, he also knew the king wouldn't let him go for what happened but he can't break the age-old practices. If the king orders for something, that needs to be followed no matter what.

After everything is done, Isha walked in followed by Avyan...
