"Rana sa... please don't get mad at him, I won't ask you to give him the reason or anything, that's your call but...", Isha started, she didn't want to pressure her husband for anything, she so wanted to ask her husband to give her brother the reason he wanted, but she doesn't have that right... though Abhyansh is very good to her, she couldn't ask him for things freely, there's some hesitation still...

"Okay...", he said surprising her...

"Thankyou", she said giving him a small smile, but her hesitation hurt him, he didn't understand what more he should do to make her adapt to him...

"Bhai... stay for dinner, I'll cook your favourite dishes...", Isha said walking away... she knew she didn't have to wait for Ranveer's nod, she knew he would stay...

"Why did she cry??", Abhyansh asked in his cold tone as soon as his wife left...

"My a** of a father, once blackmailed me openly, Isha happened to hear it, she thought I was compromising on things for her and she was a burden on me", Ranveer said staring blankly at the wall... "stupid... why doesn't she understand that if not for her, then for whom would I give up things??", Ranveer added looking at the BEAST who has a colder look than normal...

"How is he doing??", Abhyansh asked, Ranveer knew his brother-in-law is waiting for Kailash Rajput to get all fit, so that he could start his torture...

"Better, but not enough for you to start your torture... let him recuperate... I want him to enjoy this fear, he fears even getting better as the thought of your torture is scaring the wits out of him, I enjoy the terrified look on him, this is good too", Ranveer said sickly, gone was the soft man who smiled wholeheartedly at his sister...

"You wanted to kill your father?? Still on with the plan??", Abhyansh asked

"No, I want him to live as longer as possible, but in your clutches, torture him so much, that man enjoyed the scared look on myIshu, now I'll enjoy looking at his sufferings every minute", Ranveer said venom dripping in his words, he hated his father to extent... Abhyansh could only imagine the pain his wife had gone through if it made her brother hate his father so much...

"You know Ranawat, my Ishu is so kind and innocent despite facing so much, and I want her to stay that way all her life... I brought her up, I hated seeing her growing up... I want my sister to stay with me always, my day wouldn't move without seeing her innocent smile, but that man made me go to London, I stayed away from her for years, he used all his contacts and played with my VISA many times, blocking me from seeing my sister, that's why I got so mad before", Ranveer said, Abhyansh looked at Ranveer, his face gave away his pain he went through by staying away from his sister... "you can play with anything Ranawat, but just don't keep me away from my sister, I can bear anything other than that", Ranveer said and that moved the mighty BEAST...

"I promise you Rajput... I won't do it, as much as I hate you near my wife, for her sake, you'll always be with her...", Abhyansh said making Ranveer smile widely, if Abhyansh Singh Ranawat promised, he would fulfil it without fail. There is always this fear in Ranveer's head that someone will separate his sister from him, and it doubled when she got married to the BEAST but his promise now relieved him to no extent.

"As a return gift to this, I'll show you a picture, where your cute wife was so much cuter...", Ranveer said opening his gallery and showing Abhyansh the picture Vikram took that day of the siblings... a small smile made its way on the Beast's face looking at his wife's younger version, she looked extremely adorable with those uneven pigtails...

"I made those pigtails, cute na??", Ranveer said looking up, but he is shocked to see his stone of a brother-in-law smiling, not a full-blow smile but a small one which is a shock too... Abhyansh's face turned cold realizing his brother-in-law's stare...

"That's why they are so bad", Abhyansh said and Ranveer frowned

"Bad?? If these are bad, you should have seen the ones your wife used to make... she was so bad at making hair, after the accident of my bhabhosa and bhabho's death...", Ranveer stopped taking his uncle and aunt's name seeing Abhyansh fisting his palms... "I first made her hair when she was 10, it was bad, but still she came to me every day for it, as she was worse...", Ranveer smiled at the memory... "I used to learn different hairstyles and try them on her hair... but could master only those pigtails and the casual single braid as her hair is too thick and long, she first learned to make hair when I moved to London", Ranveer said remembering teaching his sister how to make her hair on a video call...

"Well, I can't expect anything from your mother but why didn't the other females help her??", Abhyansh asked indicating the female servants of the Rajput palace...

"My mother didn't want anyone to help Isha... that time, I didn't know as she carefully hid everything from me, also I didn't like anyone helping my sister, I was the one who looked after her needs, honestly after my Dadi sa passed away, I stopped trusting even the servants of the palace, so I told my mother that I'll look after Isha, she tried to stop me, I ignored her. When my mother stopped any female servants from helping Ishu, I thought it was because I told her that I would take care of her but after Isha'smarriage, I got to know many things...", Ranveer said fisting his palms remembering what all his mother did to his sister...

"What is it Rajput??", Abhyansh asked coldly... looking at Ranveer's eyes filled with rage, he knew Sheela Rajput did something worse than he knows...

"It's not my place to tell Ranawat, Ishu will tell you when she is comfortable...", Ranveer said, but it's not just that, he is afraid that Abhyansh would torture his mother more than he intended to do, after knowing these things, though Ranveer hated everything his mother did to his sister, he still has a soft corner for his mother, there was a time when he loved his mother, he knew his mother deserved it but he couldn't get it in him to let her suffer, maybe a son's soft heart for the mother...

"No one can save your mother Rajput, whether you say it or not, I'll find out", Abhyansh said, Ranveer looked at him, he sighed even thinking about fooling his brother-in-law, he is a BEAST, how could he not figure out??

"Okay, we'll think about that when the time comes, for now, leave all that", Ranveer said trying to avoid that topic, he knew he has to lose his mother in the future but he didn't want to think about it now... "a free advice from me, learn some hairstyles for my bacha... she still couldn't do her hair properly except for a very few...", Ranveer said and Abhyansh glared at his brother-in-law... though he could do anything for his wife, he didn't want to let his brother-in-law know that...

"Out Rajput", Abhyansh said, getting back to his work...

"You are not gonna tell me why you did that??", Ranveer asked one last time, Abhyansh ignored him, "fine...", Ranveer saidtaking his phone away, which is beside Abhyansh's palm on the table...

"Do you know your mother used to slap Isha??", Abhyansh suddenly asked when Ranveer turned to walk away, realizing it's no use asking his brother-in-law...

"What??", Ranveer asked turning towards his brother-in-law... he knew his mother treated Isha badly, and made her work like a slave for a few sanitary napkins, but didn't know she physically abused Isha or he didn't want to think that she did, after Isha got married, his uncle's loyal men and women told him how his parents tortured Isha all these years, but that was a broader perspective, he knew his mother could have physically abused his little sister, if she could do all the worse things, but he didn't want to think or believe it.

"If my mother did that, I wouldn't ever forgive her Ranawat, trust me", Ranveer said walking away... Abhyansh had his own plans for Sheela Rajput, but knowing it could hurt Ranveer is slightly disturbing, it wouldn't have affected him if his wife didn't love her brother so much... now even a frown or a little distress on her face causes him ache... he didn't know how to stay unaffected anymore when it came to his wife... he left a sigh before concentrating on his work...

Ranveer walked out to take some fresh air in the huge garden of the palace, he saw Avyan coming out with a gift wrapper and a box... when he came nearer, Ranveer noticed it to be a MacBook...

"Ranveer... look at this... I got it for Bhabhi sa", Avyan said handing over the box

"Mac??", Ranveer said looking at the MacBook, the latest version
